Bass down under

Leave a comment

Theme was to stay together. Short mosey down the hill to a dry spot for some Broga. Threw in a couple of mtn climbers and WAM. We stayed together and did a slight mosey to the base of the hill where the fun started.

7s was the call starting with 1 squat run up the hill to the stop sign and do 6 merkins. They key was to stay together. This is where the fun started with the Aussie accent for the remainder of the workout.

All right mates once we finish with the 7s we headed to the crikey pull up bars. Did a quick 5 and hit the blocks (Cindy blocks that is) for some down under beat down. The call was wall sits for undisclosed moment of time. We did 3 sets of curls with a wall sits in between and did I mention block on the legs makes a nice table for shrimp on the barbie. Followed that up with overhead presses.

It was time to make another move up another hill to the benches where we watched Ruby Slippers pick up garbage. Better to leave it better than what you found it. Time for a little Aussie AMRAP to firm up the pax. The call was 1 minute of decline merkins (lots of complaint with that one), then dips, step ups, calf raises or was it 🦘 raises not sure. Then finished off with the 1minute of burpee finally. Back to COT

No Mary cause Rebel doesn’t like to get wet.

Thanks for the opportunity Cakeboss

Bruttaly Sweet Revenge

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Dynamic warmup by running around the perimeter of the COT parking lot performing high knees, butt kickers, and Karaoke on both sides.
THE THANG: Experienced a brutal workout at The Badger on Monday and it became the inspiration for the following.
Complete 10 rounds by the ROTC building near the pullup bars
10 Pull Ups
15 OH Presses w/Cindy
15 Squats w/Cindy
15 KB Swings w/Cindy
15 Big Boys w/Cindy
Then run down to the bottom of the hill and perform 2 Kraken burpees on your first trip. When you completed the Kraken burpees run back to the top of the hill and repeat. Every time you come down to the bottom of the hill increase the Kraken burpee reps by 2. Some of us made it to round 7, most of us finished on rounds 5 or 6. All of us got our moneys worth.

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter and charities
COT: Lots of prayer requests for healing!

Bodily functions are real

Leave a comment

WARMUP: started with a mosey around the parking lot. Stopped for some SSH, merkins, squats, mountain climbers, and a little back and hip stretching. Made our way over to grab some cindy’s.
THE THANG: Once we had our new toys, we went to the hill for 11s. Shoulder presses at the top with cindy and bottom of the hill hand release merkins. Pax that finished early did chest presses or picked up Pax and finished with them.

Next we took our cindy friend to the pull up bars for work. 7s was the game with 1 pull-up and 6 man makers…down to 6 pull ups and 1 man maker.
MARY: made our way to COT for Mary on steroids…1 hammer, 4 flutters; 2 hammers, 8 flutters…made our way to 5 hammers and 20 flutters before the crying started. Then it was 3 burpees and round the horn ab callouts.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter
COT: patience, schools, families in general.

Old & Grizzled

Leave a comment

Instead of giving a long disclaimer, I made the mistake of saying this was an old and grizzled group of vets. It pretty much went downhill from there. But in my defense we did average about 50% brace rate (knees, elbows. ankles, etc).

Anyway, short mosey around the lot then circle up for some warmups. Hillbilly walkers, 4 count squats (crowd favorite), mtn climbers, peter parkers, parker peters, MNCs.

Relocate over to near pull up bars. Partner up for lazy dora. 100 merkins: p1 does 10 while p2 holds plank. Switch back and forth until 100. 200 LBCs: p1 does 20 LBCs while P2 does 6″ leg hold. Switch back and forth until 200. 300 squats: p1 does 30 squats while p2 holds Al Gore. Switch back and forth until 300. 400 SSHs: p1 does 40 SSHs while p2 hangs on the pull up bar. Switch back and forth until 400.

I had more planned at front of school but based on time audibled to stay close to start point. Stay with same partner for partner burpees. P1 does burpee, then P2 does burpee, keep swapping back and forth up to 25 total then run to stop sign and back. 4 rounds (100 total). Finished up with 20 big boys and 20 flutters.

We may be old and grizzled but it was a really fun morning. Lots of mumble-chatter seemed to make time fly by. I appreciate all the old and grizzled as well as newer less grizzled guys we have in this group. Thanks Cake Boss for the opportunity to lead!
