Each round 5 of the following, then 10, 15.
1 – BBSU
2 – Merkins
3 – double count lunge

After round 3 (15 reps) we took the the scenic route back to COT for a few low slow squats and SSH to run out the clock

Honor of Cash

Leave a comment

Today, we honored Cash, hospital name Jay Griggs, who passed away in Sept 2020 of cancer. He was given the name “Cash” as in Johnny Cash due to his all black outfit he worn at his first workout along with his hometown of Nashville, TN. The Coop was renamed “Ring of Fire” in honor of Cash. Double D shared stories through the workout. Cash was a genuine person who was always ready to help out a friend.
Jekyll provided me with a backblast from 2015 where Cash was in attendance. I decided to copy it on a piece of paper and unfortunately dropped it in the gloom so it did not match the exact workout.
We first moseyed to the front entrance of the school for COP (SSHs, IWs, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Plank Stretches, and Mountain Climbers)
Next, we moseyed to the gym wall for People’s Chair with each pax running out to the parking lot for 5 merkins. One round of Balls to the Wall.
The lights came on making it easier to navigate, mosey to the ROTC building.
Dirty McDeuce (3 exercises, 12 reps) Run to the top of the hill, 5 burpees and back down to starting point.
R1: Merkins, LBCs, Lunges
R2: Wide Arm Merkins, Hello Dollies, Squats
R3: CDD, Flutters, Jump Squats
R4: Stagger Merkins, X/Os, Calf Raises

Back to the top of the hill near the school
Three rounds of toe touches, Dips, Derkins (12 reps)

Back to COT
Closed with Cash’s prayer

Search me Lord. Lead me to you. Help me to be a good man, a good father, a good husband and a good employee. Help me to forgive and release from resentment those that I feel have offended me. Let me see the good in others and draw that goodness out of them.

Tax Man Cometh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

Jack Webb from hell – remix

Leave a comment

WARMUP: a little upward & downward dog, some low slow squats and single count merkins

THE THANG: moseyed over to WEP.  Starting at the first bench swing the PAX did 1 burpee and 4 merkins, ran to the next swing did 2 and 8, ran back to the first swing and then went to the 3rd swing did 3 & 12, then to the 2nd swing and up to the 4th bench swing, did 4 & 16 and so on until we got to 10 and 40.  
Since we still had some time left, YHC didn’t want to waste any time so we moseyed over to the playground and did a dead hang for a 10- count, 10 low slow squats, 5 pull ups and then 10 more squats.  With 4 minutes left we headed back to COT.  Arrived at 0600.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter
COT: prayers for schools, kids, teachers, admin as well as others
