Posted In: The Armory

WARMUP: Mosey for a short lap then circle up for SSHs, Windmills, Low slow squats, Merkins, and Hillbilly Walkers.
THE THANG: I’m a big fan of simple yet difficult. So I stole some things from rucking and repurposed them.
First thing was 15 min AMRAP of the following 3 things:
15-High pulls, 15-Swings, and 15-Overhead squats.
Not going to lie, I thought we were close to time and then looked at watch and it said 7 minutes. Finished up then moved over to far parking lot.
Buy-in=4 line suicide with 5 bombjacks at each line
8 rounds of the following:
5 Burpees
8 Curls
8 Triceps
8 Mountain Climbers
8 Merkins w/bell pull thru
We got through about 5 rounds before time was running short. So finished up with run across lot for 10 bombjacks then grab the bells and head back to COT.
Finished with 10 bell overhead big boys and 10 flutters.

I definitely don’t do kettlebell workouts enough. I need to do a better job of working it into my rotation. I also need to be better prepared. I thought Uhual would bring some music but he didn’t show this morning. So the PAX made up for it in mumblechatter. I appreciate all the PAX coming out this morning and Battle-bot for the Q opportunity.

Mosey to the school for a round of 11’s.
Breakdance merkins(double count) on one side.
Crunchy frogs(in cadence) on the other side.
Distance between points was approximately 0.2mi.
No one got through all 11. Maybe it was too far?

10 Year Anniversary Party

QIC: UHaul
When: 2022-09-17
Pax: Uhaul
Posted In: mumblechatter, Pre-Blast

As we approach 10 years of changing lives for men with capsized boats, let’s take a moment to celebrate and look forward to the next 10 years.

We will come together at The Print Shop by Amor Artis and share stories with fellow PAX, flux plagued potential EH targets, FNGs, M’s and just about anyone else you can identify.

#nospeeches just means that there will be no PowerPoint presentations, no microphones, no speeches… instead, we will focus on sharing stories with each other one on one or in small groups.

Please RSVP on the 2nd F channel as we will get private party status if we can hit 50 participants.
