Tomahawk Test is a lesson in Engineering

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short Jog, variety of warmup exercises and stretches
THE THANG: This was made by Polaroid when this AO was The Tomahawk to track our fitness improvements. It’s a series of exercises AMRAP in X time.
Left Arm Upright Row – 30s
Right Arm Upright Row – 30s
KB Swings – 2 min
Left Arm Snatch – 1 min
Right Arm Snatch – 1 min
Short Jog
aMERICAn Hammers – 1 min
Left Arm Curls – 1 min (note if upright or on knee)
Right Arm Curls – 1 min (note if upright or on knee)
Double Arm Triceps – 1 min (note if upright or on back as Skullcrushers)
Short Jog
Butterfly Left – 1 min (this is laying on back. Arm straight out to side. Slight bend in elbow. Lift bell over chest. Would be like doing a cable pull standing up)
Butterfly Right – 1 min
Goblet Squats – 2 min
Lawnmower Left – 1 min
Lawnmower Right – 1 min
KB Hold for time (hold KB straight of in front so you can look thru handle)

Note your weight so you can see how you improve over time.  If you move up in weight, it’s ok to have less reps. If you are close to before then you are improving. A good comparison is using Work = Force*Distance. Since your distance per rep should be the same across attempts, this is a fair metric. “Work” = Weight * Reps

WARMUP: Tinsel handled it

THE THANG: unload heavy gear and stack in middle of parking lot. (leave no trace) Split into teams. Pick home base and designated “front yard”. Set timer between 3-4 minutes. Go. Run from home base to junk pile and grab as much gear as you can and haul it over to opposing teams base and dump it on their front yard. Repeat until nothing remains in middle and if trimmer hasn’t sounded go to your own homebase and clear the crap out of your front yard. Different rounds the completion goal varied but the results were the same.

Q point of the week is Q2.02 which is Influence:Igniting a palpable desire for movement.

MARY: haven’t seen her… she must have been why that roll of carpet was so heavy.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: prayers for mental health, and to be conscious of having the best Impact (Q2.01) on others.

Honor to lead along side studs. Thanks to 3D for the opportunity and bringing the keg and other random gear. And to Tinsel for bringing all the sandbags and slam balls.
Coffee was brewed on site.
Stay frosty my friends,
Olaf

Snake Pit turned into a Keg party. 7 PAX decided to drink the pain this gloomy morning, whereas Bobber arrived late and was scared so decided to do Bushwood.

Pax carried 2 kegs, a sandbag, and a ruck, along with their respective kettlebells to the top of the hill. Did a short COP and mossy down the hill to the first intersection where storage building was. Came back up and paired up for an easy DORA. 100 KB swings, 200 squats, 300 LBCs w/KB. The partner carried one of the coupons down the hill to the second Bus sign and back.

once completed, carried all coupons and KB to Bus sign. half the group ran to the pull up bars to complete 5 pull-ups. The other half completed as many reps as the chose for curls, OH press, bent over rows, squats. Once the first group is back the second group runs to do pull-ups.

Mossy back to COT!
