Stairs? I got your stairs right here…

Leave a comment

The PAX moseyed down to the CoG facility to make use of the tall staircases for a couple sets of 11’s. Mumblechatter was minimal for the first 30 minutes as YHC had consumed more than my Wednesday night allotment of adult beverages…
On the return trip to COT we did discuss summertime memories and how we would give our attention to our 2.0’s effectively.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2nd F Lunch tomorrow at Fort Mill’s finest Chinese/Sushi restaurant, Lee Cafe; Pints & Padres is an awesome opportunity for dads and @barrelaged is really committed to the topic (thanks Travis); and of course, read your newsletter
COT: Prayers for SmallWorld’s wife as she deals with the loss of her brother; Prayers for friends of N&A that are dealing with breast cancer; Prayers for YHC’s 17 year old nephew who is dealing with a blood disease that is approaching a critical point.

Moderate is a state of mind

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 50% 60 yard runs from one end of the AO host parking lot to the other. After each run we performed SSH, Squats, Seal Jacks, Merkins, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters
THE THANG: We strolled over to another, smoother parking lot to endure the pain. Partnered up and gave the PAX 3 pain stations in the shape of a triangle with each pain station being about 30-40 yards apart. Merkin station, Squat Station, and Step-Up Station. Group that starts at the Merkin station performs 10 merkins and then travels to the next pain station to relieve the PAX. So forth and so on we went for 3 rounds.
Next we performed an Indian Bear Crawl for about 40 yards.
Followed that fun with a short ab lab: 20 – Gas Pumpers, 20 LBCs ( legs straight up in the air with arms reaching for feet when crunching ), & 20 Box Cutters.
Time to hit the legs again with some TUT – TimeUnderTension. Partner up again, partners have to complete a combined total of 100 lunges – 10 lunges for 5 sets. While one partner does a set of 10 lunges the other partner holds the Al Gore position, keep alternating until you reach the 100 rep count.
Followed that up with another ablab: 10 BigBoys, then go immediately into 10 Straight Leg Lifts, and then go immediately into 10 V-Ups.
Next up, more bear crawls with a Paula Abdul routine. Found a row of parking spaces about 15-20 spaces long. Pax start out bear crawling 2 lines, when reaching the 2nd line you perform 2 merkins, you then crawl bear back 1 line and perform 1 merkin. Keep going until you reach the end.
Last, but not least, you guys brag on your ‘running with pushups’. Well this group did Sprints with Pushups. 3 – 50 yard sprints – all out. As soon as PAX reached the other side we had to drop immediately and perform: 1st Sprint – 13 Merkins, 2nd Sprint 11 Merkins, 3rd Sprint 9 merkins. The plan was to do 4 sprints total but time ran out, which I’m glad because SmallWorld would have had to carry me back to COT.
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter on 6/9.
COT: Prayers for marriages, families going through transitions, ChangeOrders dad, and others. Question to the PAX in prayer – What are you pursuing? Thanks to SmallWorld for the opportunity to lead. Take care and God bless fellas.

Stroll Around Town

Leave a comment

The weather was warm in the metropolis of Fort Mill this morning.  Five men showed up for the workout.  Disclaimer complete, we headed out of the parking lot to the Town Hall for warm-ups:

SSH, Imperial Walkers, Moroccan Night Clubs, Windmills, Plank Stretches.

Next, we headed to the center of town.  We stopped for 1 minute of good form merkins and toe taps on the curb.  We continued our tour to the bottom of the street.  In cadence squats to catch our breath before climbing the stairs to Millstone Park.  In the parking lot, we completed 1 minute of good form Carolina Dry Docks along with some abs exercises.

We headed back up the hill to Withers Street where the Minnow Pond pax were running around town.  We stopped at a set of stairs and did a series of leg exercises while one pax ran up and down the stairs.

Exercises:  Squats, Calf Raises, Lunges, and Jump Squats

We returned to our launch site and finished with lap around the parking lot. We completed 1.5 miles and lots of exercises.

Great job by all.
