WARMUP:
20 x SSH
20 x Windmill
20 x Moroccan night clubs
20 x Peter Parker’s
20 x Imperial Walkers

Mosey: shuffle left / right, karaoke left/ right, toy soldiers, nur

THE THANG:
Millenial
– PAX does 100 each exercise
– Runs a 100 M lap together
– 10 cycles total. (100 exercise + 100 m lap = 200 x 10 cycles = 2000)
– 1st person to 100, cycle ends, and we run together. Everything is complete as 1 unit.
– Faster runners plank for the 6.
– Last cycle is 100 burpees on Q.  Q can be rotating or by One Q

1) SSH
2) Lunges
3) Merkins
4) LBCs
5) Mtn Climbers
6) Flutters
7) Calf Raises
8) Dying cockroach (abs)
9) Squats
10) Burpees

How it actually ran: YHC thought 100m was too short so it ended up being a quarter mile loop. By #6 I had to shorten it back down to 100m. We ran out of time for all Burpees – it was 10 OYO at the end.

@Band Camp was the exercise and lap leader (King)
@Paddle was right behind him on the laps
@Grinder dominated the leg workouts
@Tesh destroyed the abs and merkins. Shirt remained on.
@Yardsale and @Cubbie followed in suit.

At the end, I discussed how large obstacles may seem at first. If you can tackle them as a team, you start to see progress.

Think about this in life. Find other men to do daily battle with. Learn, grow, hold each other accountable. Link up them in a Shieldlock group. Watch your King, Queen accelerate.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Prayers for kids and teachers – back to school
COT: Cubbie closed out in prayer.

Run 100yd back to original goal line then run 90 yd to far 10 yd line and perform 9 reps of each of the same 5 exercises. Run 90yd back to goal line then run 80yd to far 20yd line for 8reps…. keep decreasing 10 yards and 1 rep.

Made it to the 50 yd line before time was getting low so for the 40yd, 30yd, 20yd, 10yd we only performed merkins and we mixed in some Nur and bear crawls and crawl bears instead of running.

Finished off with mosey back to COT and 1 minute of Mary (flutters and American hammers)

COT:

We rocked the first half, then Badlands rolled us in the second half. Good energy from all throughout!

Cake Boss made a fashionably late appearance at 0558. We gave him full credit for a post because…well….WWJD!

A reference to high school reunions brought reflections on HS friends that remain in contact today and those that walked with us through that life stage so many years ago. gratitude for both groups and reminders of the value of what we have with our F3 brothers.

Prayers for Yard Sale and the flux he’s navigating. Thanks for the chance to lead!

Shout out to the originator, Jekyll. He started this many years ago. Each week during the month of June, he would q this workout at Laces. Pax would show each week trying to get better each week.

I have a love hate relationship with this workout.
1. First workout I posted to in the Fort (many yrs ago)
2. 2nd workout I brought Shady to. He hated me for a few days after
3. First workout I q’d after my heart attack (2 yrs ago). The one and only time I believe Pax allowed the Q to clipboard Q.

Bricks or Burdens

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey around parking lot twice mixing in buttkickers, high knees, & shuffles. Circled up and performed WindMills in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, CherryPickers in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, Moroccan KC in cadence x 10, 3 burpees oyo, Merkins in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo
THE THANG: Everyone was instructed pick up bricks out of the back of my car. PAX were instructed to hold onto those bricks for the entire workout.
1st Round – While lunge walking 10 yards PAX had to raise bricks out to the side with each lunge. Once we reached our 10 yard destination we performed 10 Bomb Jacks with bricks. Did this for 5 stations.
Round #2 – Jack Webb – 2 exercises with 1:4 ratio concluding at 10:40. Exercises were Merkins on bricks and Overhead Claps with bricks.
Round #3 – Same stations we used for the previous lunge walk were used to perform a Burpee Suicide ladder. Starting line – 1 burpee, run to first station 1 burpee, run back to starting line 1 burpee, run to 2nd station 2 burpees, back to starting line 1 burpee, so forth and so on, 5 staions.
Round #4 – Supermans with Bricks – Lay on your stomach, performed 10 sec holds in 4 different positions -Superman, Field Goal, Airplane, Ripcord. Once PAX had a good understanding of the positions we went through them again with a 7 second hold and no breaks in between positions.
Round #5 – Indian Run with Bricks 3 times around the parking lot. If you’ve never ran with bricks you are missing a real treat.
Round#6 – Same routine as the 1st round, but with backward lunges as travel mode and instructed to raise bricks straight ahead, at each station PAX were instructed to sit in the Al Gore position with bricks raised to the front and perform 10 pulses. JWOW’s form was noticeable!!!
Round#7 – Circle up and get on your 6. Completed 25 toe touch crunches with bricks in cadence, 20 reverse crunches in cadence, 15 V-Ups with Bricks, and then 20 oyo WindShield Wiper leg raises. DONE!!!
