Only a little lost

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Taps, slow merkins

THE THANG:
mosey around until I got lost.
Stop along the way for:
10 Merkins
9 squats
8 LBCs
7 Carolina Dry Docks
6 Jump Squats
5 American Hammers
4 Hand Release merkins
3 Jump Lunges
2 Flutters
1 Burpee
Did the full set each stop. I think we stopped around 6 times.

I ran to what used to be an event center to do another round and was informed it’s now a private residence. Better to be dissuaded by your friends than run off by someone wielding a shotgun.

We got a little far afield today. 3 total miles. Unintentional message of the day: How do you respond when your leader is clearly lost?

Planned message: you’ve done something challenging today. Don’t shy away from other challenges as they face you. You may need to press forward and persevere, or you may need to hold back and assess. Both decisions require different kinds of toughness.

Thanks Radar for the call to lead outside the my home region. Was great to be in Belmont this morning.

WARMUP:

Line up the bells heaviest to lightest

Mosey to grab cinderblocks

THE THANG:

Originally, the intention was to have a group working with 2 kettlebells and another group working with cinderblocks. Since there were 12 kettlebells and 6 PAX, we were all able to work together.

PAX were encouraged to grab 2 heavy bells and rucks or sandbags to get some serious strength training in.

Team Iron:
Bigger muscle groups – with 2 bells
3 sets each. 10 reps
Squats
Deadlifts
Chest Presses
Rows
Swings (one bell)

Team Concrete:
Smaller muscle groups – with a cinder block
3 sets each. 20 reps
Curls
Tricep extensions
Shoulder presses

High pulls

We returned the cinderblocks and made it back to COT right at 0600
