Staying on Brand

Going into todays WO I was thinking I’d hold off on the merkins and the Burpees. Unfortunately , I couldn’t help myself.

While no pre-run today I did a pre-mosey with the vest and discovered all the other options that this site has. It’s a great place and I encourage PAX all over the fort to make the drive down to Catawba Ridge. It’s well worth it!

Warmup:

Mosey to the band lot where we would sprint every two islands followed by a recover mosey to the next island. We repeated this until the end of the lot.

Circled up near the car line.

15 SSH
10 MNC
3 Burpees
15 Seal Jacks
5 SLOOW Windmills
15 Mountain Climbers

Mosey to the bottom of the hill behind the football field.

2-Minute Drill

Each Pax are to perform:

25 Burpees
50 Jump Squats
75 LBC’s
100 4-CT Flutters
100 Hello Dolly’s
75 LBC’s
50 Jump Squats
25 Burpees

Every 2 minutes though they would be required to run to the next cone do Hand Release Merkins and then continue with the reps of the exercises.
The cones went from the bottom all the way to the top of the hill. Once at the Top of the hill Pax needed to run all the way back to the start stopping at each cone for additional HR merkins.

1 additional wrinkle in this routine is that I had a whistle. Every time I’d blow the whistle I would “audible” to another exercise or a new rep count. For Instance, I upped the HR merkins from 3-5-7 during this workout. In addition, I changed the total burpees from 25 to 35.

Everyone got done with this portion of the workout with about 8 minutes to spare so we ran to the last cone on the top of the hill and did 5 reps of each exercise then ran back down to the bottom of the hill. Doing 3 HR merkins at each cone on the way down and doing 10 HR merkins at the bottom of the hill. With just under 4 minutes left we ran the hill one more time doing 5 burpees and 10 flutter kicks on the way up at each cone.

We timed it so we got back to COT right at 6:00.

Appreciate Cohiba for the call and welcome Voltage all the way from Charleston!

Let Go of the Those Little Burdens

WARMUP: Dynamic Run Warmup, followed by dynamic plank warm-up with a lot of upward<>downward dog interspersed
THE THANG: Each pax picked up (2) 2# weights (removed from my weight vest). Goal was to hold these for the remainder of the workout.
Round 1: Jack Webs 1-10 low-slow merkins with 4-40 overhead raises with some short hill running as the “rest period”
Round 2: 11’s- 1-10 bomb jacks and 10-1 seal jacks with short flat run in between
Round 3: wall sits for 4-count x10 reps of the following: curls, OH press, front raises, lateral raises, punches, and arm circles all with short mosey in between
Round 4: curb sit-up get-up 6, 5, 4 reps mixed with curb burpees 1, 2 reps (did not complete this round)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: prayers for @stinger’s friend Tommy with medical issues
COT: My group moseyed in about 4 mins late to meet the #ao-snakepit pax.
As prefaced on Slack, this was a Jekyll-inspired Q from one of the worst I’ve ever posted for. That being said, the worst part about this Q he had at the Ranch about 4 or 5 years ago was that instead of holding warm sand-filled little bags that we held today, Jekyll suggested holding 2 irregularly-shaped icebergs (rocks) for the 45 mins. I can still remember the pain I experienced in my hands after that workout to this day. I felt like a 90-year arthritic seamstress.
HOWEVER, the message I carry from that day still rings true. Two 2# bags are not heavy, but if you carry those little burdens long enough, that’ll weigh on you. Sometimes we’re not ready or feel we’re not able to let them go. Reach out to fellow pax, your church, family, friends. You all have people that love you that are willing to help. Will you let them? Are you ready to let these little burdens go?
Thanks to Cohiba for the opportunity to lead.
Hope you all enjoyed getting #squatched!
