COT:
Lots of rain this week, but it didn’t prevent the three men from tackling a sandbag workout. We set our bags down for warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs). Big lap around the field and back to the front of the school.
Sandbag exercises in cadence: overhead press, curl, merkins, calf raise. Lunge walk to last pillar. Squats, LBCs, bend over row.
Big lap again with bag.
With 10 minutes remaining, we attempted the pillars of pain: 1 man maker at each pillar adding 1 at the next pillar. We fell short of the goal, but provided some good ideas for <@UN3JKG18C> Q next week.
WARMUP: A brisk jog that left the Q too winded for the rest of the stretches and exercises to be called correctly. The pax held strong and performed them correctly anyways.
THE THANG: Four corners of pain consisting of rows, presses, flutters, bag tosses, man makers, American hammers, front squats, deadlifts, curls and something called Bradley Presses (Q sited some website called onlyfans for where he found the exercise).
We bear hugged and lunge walked our bags to and fro.
Some slight delays during the work due to lack of visibility and eye sight (mostly eye sight) to read the repertoire of exercises on a homemade index card.
MARY: she wasn’t there, it was too cold.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: none
COT: praise your higher power whoever/whatever that may be it just ain’t you.
WARMUP: YOG with stretches mainly to the groin region
THE THANG: 4 corner Loops round the parking lot with curls, squats, curls, and dead lifts.
Dora – Ranger Merkens 75, Overhead Press 75, farmer carry to other side of parking lot
MARY: no
ANNOUNCEMENTS: thanksgiving convergence and Christmas Party
COT: what happens stays
WARMUP: Gathered with our sandbags and left those for a quick mosey after a quick disclaimer. Came back for SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Came back to our sandbags and took our carabiners and clipped the ends to each other. Put them on our shoulders and then walked VERY close to each other. Alternating shoulders as needed but honestly, this lasted about 200 yards before the Q realized this wasn’t shaping up as it was in his head. Along the way we did curls and then curls and overhead presses.
We then unclipped and did 10 manmakers. We then took our bags to the tiered area and partnered up at the bottom. 1 partner with a 40 and 1 with a 60.
Partner 1 took both sandbags to the top and partner 2 stayed at the bottom doing pushups. Once partner 1 got back, there was a flip flop. Rinsed and repeated this.
Did this again with dips (just 1 round) and finished with flutters but for flutters it was a farmer carry.
Headed back towards COT but stopped at the curb for another idea…that didn’t pan out. With 2 sandbags removed, each pax laid down with a sandbag held in a press and then passed it down the line (last 2 guys had no bag yet) and then the first 1 guy that passed the bag ran to the other end in an Indian run style plan. Again, idea was ok but execution wasn’t great.
Moral of the story today – have a plan, execute plan, adjust plan, move forward.
MARY: we spared a few min
ANNOUNCEMENTS: complete
COT: complete
Light attendance at The Sink. I had to modify the workout since I planned a partner workout. Workout started at the front of the school. Four corners around the carpool loop. First stop, Man makers, rows, overhead press, squats. Five reps + 5 reps at each stop.
Next lap, same exercises and rep count except we dropped an exercise at each stop.
WARMUP: SSH, Merkins, Mt Climbers
THE THANG: walk to the top of the hill at Hubert Graham way/Good Hill Rd (Walmart Hill). Wait a few seconds while farmer only picked the FNG that arrived late.
10 poles down the hill have an exercise that needed to be executed with tue sand bag. Everytime an exercise was completed, run back to the top of the hill without the sandbag and do a burpee, add an extra burpee everytme that you go back to the too of the hill. Here are the 10 exercises, most of the PAX completed at least 5 of them, some got to the 6th station.
1. 30 half moon snatch
2. 30 cleans
3. 30 good morning
4. 30 over head press
5. 30 shoulder press
6. 30 rotational lunge
7. 30 chess press
8. 30 triceps
9. 30 chest press
10. 30 over head squats

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas patty, Bourbon, Bethel, etc.
COT: welcome to FNG, prayers, Do not let politics to dictate what is best for your future, only god and your own effort can dictate your future.
WARMUP: Take all weight 1/4 mile to COP
Low slow squats with weight x 10
Hold people’s chair and do Moroccan night clubs x 10
Rucks off and 25 seal jacks I/C

Move all weight to side lot for 11’s about the grounds with weight – Merkins with rucks and squats with rucks and sandbags.
Move to the field. PAX plank with ruck on their left side and, one pax at a time, say one thing they’re struggling with before pulling ruck through to other side. After that, pax said one thing for which they were grateful and pulled ruck through to left side. PAX then recovered from plank. Lesson – we don’t have to bear burdens alone. Sharing them allows us a greater ability to work through them.
Move to lot next to COT for DORA’s – 50 Ruck swings and 100 flutters with ruck press.
Back to COT for more flutters with press and 0600 arrived.

Thanks for the call Farmers Only :eye:
Fall weather is upon us with morning temps around 57 degrees and ready to work. YHC was excited for my VQ at the Kitchen Sink thanks to Farmers Only. I have a tendency to get stuck in a rut attending the same workouts each week and this call out introduced me to a new opportunity.
I prepped by reviewing previous backblasts and Q Source. I wanted to incorporate a leadership lesson into the Q and settled on the 4 corners of the school which matched the 4 Quadrants of Q Source.
WARMUP:
20 SSH
10 IW
20 Mtn Climbers
THE THANG:
Round 1

Shuffle to next corner then rinse and repeat
Round 2
10 Shoulder Taps

At each corner, we discussed a Quadrant from Q Source
Get Right
– A man cannot Get Right by himself
– You are maintaining your fitness for reasons outside of yourself
Live Right
– A HIM influences through word and deed
– A habit can be positive, negative or neutral
Lead Right
– Leadership is influencing movement towards advantage
– Candor is graciously telling the hard truth and demanding it from others
Leave Right
– Legacy is constructed through the HIMs ability to develop Virtuous Leaders
– Failure is a wonderful teacher but only if you can take the pain from it
