One Man in a Webb

A light warmup was done with SSHs, arm circles, windmills and a few stretchy things. It was about 5:20 am and it’s just me, myself and I. At this point I had a decision to make; do I get back in the car, go to the comfort of my bed, and spiral into being a sad clown for the day. Nope, that is not what the Men of The Fort do. Whether it’s 1 or 100 we get after it.

I moseyed to lower lot past the theater. I guess I’ll this Bearkin Jax Taps.

Starting at one end of the lot, do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (Right + Left equal 1)
Bear crawl about 10 yards or so then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps (Right + Left equal 1)
Repeat until 10 reps of merkins, plank jacks and shoulder taps.

Moseyed to the short hill just past Nana’s for a web hill run.

1:4 Ratio
1 Merkin at the bottom
Run up hill
4 Air Presses
Run down the hill
2 Merkins
Run up the hill
8 Air Presses
Repeat until 10 & 40 reps

Run back to COT for a CDD Webb
1:4 Ratio
1 CDD: 4 Squats
2CDD: 8 Squats
Up to 10:40
