As much of a loud mouth liberal and ungrateful American as I may appear to be, I am extremely grateful for the freedoms enshrined in the constitution that allow me to be so, and so publicly. It’s an honor to recognize the individuals who have served in the military to defend the constitution against enemies both foreign and domestic. Happy Veteran’s Day.

Welcome to the Marine Veteran now known as ODB!

75mins, a little complexity, a lot of effort

Leave a comment

The image of the board will be used as the workout details but in case others want to use this, here are a few notes to consider:
– Split the group if needed.
– Predetermine a good distance for the Mode of Transportation (M.O.T.) and ensure it’s clearly articulated.
– Keep repeating the “Thang” section until every PAX completes 1 time on the M.O.T.
– Give example of the exercise before that “Thang” section, not all examples in the beginning.
– Open to other feedback
WARMUP:
THE THANG: See image.

Blocks and Hills

Leave a comment

There were three at the Badger this morning. Disclaimer – It’s been a while since I Q’d here, modify if necessary.
Warm-ups – SSHs, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, MNCs
Next, we made our way to the Pull-up bars and grabbed a cindy. 11s, 10 pull-ups, 1 squat thrushers and run down the hill and back up, rinse and repeat -1 pull-ups, +1 Thrusters.
Next, we moseyed to the stop sign near the bus line. Overhead cindy carry stopping at each tree for +1 man-makers (Four trees in total).
Took a couple steps to the main parking lot. One farmer carried two cindies, once shoulder carried one cindy, the other ran to the next lightpost, 5 merkins and return to switch out with the other pax. We snaked around the whole parking lot and returned to the pull up bars for three rounds of curls, bent over rows and run down the hill.
Back to COT.
