Just a little spritz

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short yog around the campus ending up under one of the overhangs. PAX seemed happy to be out of the ‘spritz’.
THE THANG: Partner up and start with Lazy Dora. 100 Merkins, 200 LBCs, 300 Squats.
>P1 does 10 Merkins while P2 holds plank then swap and continue swapping until 100 total.
>P1 does 20 LBCs while P2 holds 6″ leg hold then swap and continue swapping until 200 total.
>P1 does 25 squats while P2 holds Al Gore then swap and continue swapping until 300 total.
Light yog around bus loop to central overhang area.
Who’s the King? Every minute on the minute. Start with 1 burpee and 20 shoulder taps (L+R=1). Each minute add one burpee, same # of shoulder taps. Rest time is whatever time you have left in the 60 seconds. Keep going until you can’t get everything done in the 60 seconds. As Cyclops is fond of saying…this one escalated quickly. If you can’t complete the round then you’re out and you do 5 burpees and 20 SSHs. A few made it through round 8 but no one started 9.
Quick 10 count then move to back lot. 4 rounds of the following: 10 jump squats, 10 plank jacks, 10 bomb jacks, run a lap. Back to the overhang for some Mary: boxcutters, flutters, protractors, and LBCs. Recover, recover. Back to COT.
Great work by the PAX today. I appreciate everyone for coming out in the spritz.

Pole Dancing at Colosseum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Ran to the noisy lot out back by the football field and circled up for 15 reps each of the following:
* SSH
* Windmills
* Imperial walkers
* Moroccan night clubs
* Strawberry pickers
Now that the blood is flowing, muscle groups are warmed up, and heart rate is up, mosey to the back entrance road where the famed light poles are.

THE THANG:
The Colosseum Pole Dance!!
Starting at the bottom of the hill, the lowest point, near the playground. Partner up for a little ascending/descending DORA. One partner runs while the other exercises, swap upon runner return, then keep at it until everything is done. Runs are uphill to the light poles and back, but as each exercise changes you run to the next furthest light pole away increasing distance each round until midway point of exercises.
1. 50 burpees / run to pole 1 and back
2. 100 merkins / run to pole 2 and back
3. 200 mountain climbers (2ct) / run to pole 3 and back
4. 300 squats / run to pole 4 and back
5. 200 reverse LBC / run to pole 3 and back
6. 100 wide-arm merkins / run to pole 2 and back
7. 50 burpees / run to pole 1 and back
GREAT job by the PAX! Everyone completed everything except #7, which most at least started and got halfway through before we timed out.
Indian run back to COT for a little ab work of flutters, situps, and American hammers. Not much mumblechatter during the main event, but we sure made up for it during the Indian run and ab lab work! Great group of PAX!! Love it!!
Shower Curtain STILL beat us all back to COT!! The guy is a stud!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* A LOT going on! Read the newsletter and get involved or lead the PAX on something that has your passions.
* Thanksgiving Convergence at the Ranch!
COT:
* A lot to give thanks for
* A lot to lift up prayers for
* The holiday season is one of thanks, praise, happiness, and joy for many, but for some it is anything but. People are fighting their demons, struggling with burdens that we never see or know about because we tend to put up facades and outwardly project what we want others to see. The holiday season is, unfortunately, also a time for suicides. If you know someone who is struggling, be intentional and try to help however you can, even if it is just being there for them and listening. Sometimes all it takes to turn someone’s day around is a small gesture of kindness – a smile, a hello, your time, whatever. Be the light, the rock, the beacon of hope.

Thank you Shower Curtain for the opportunity to lead. It is great seeing you out there even if you cannot participate in the workouts.

Thankful, blessed, and encouraged

Sharknado Again?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We ran 1/4 mile and did the usual except for SSH’s they suck and Hill Billy Walkers are better.
THE THANG: Sharknado was called again because I’m not original and couldn’t think of anything else to do, so twice in a month seemed fine to me. Also I know how much Trucker loves it. The hand release Merkins where just for Cyclops. Here’s how it went.

10 Burpees / Run down Hill and back to top
20 Hand Release Merkins / Run down and back up
20 Big Boy Sit-ups/ Run down and back up
20 Monkey Humpers / Run down and back up
20 Scorpion Dry Docks / Run down and back up

Goal was to do entire cycle 5 times, most made it to three complete rounds. This shut up the mumble chatter very quickly as we got 3 miles in just three rounds.

MARY: Returned to COT for 5 minutes of stretching as I try to do at end of all my Q’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dam To Dam Golf Tournament is Friday December 9th at 10:00AM Waterford Golf Club in Rock Hill. Contact Stang with any questions.
COT It was done.
