Leave a comment


WARMUP: Intro and disclaimer. 1 runner and 6 of us took a mosey across Carolina Pl to the back of the supply company building. By the large antenna, we did 15 MNC, 15 Imp Walkers and 15 Hillbilly Walkers. Then mosey back over to the church parking lot for 15 SSH, 15 windmills, 15 Non-discrpt produce pickers and ended with plank, down/up dog. Mosey back to the beginning for some work.
THE THANG: This was a 25 minute AMRAP with 15 Kettle Bell swings, 15 Goblet Squats, 15 overhead press, 15 flutter with press, 15 bent over rows and the run down through the drive through and back. Got it 6 rounds.

WARMUP: Quick mozy followed by arm circles and Moroccan night clubs
THE THANG:
After the warmup, Pax headed over by a light in the parking lot for interval reps. With a timer, we completed 30 seconds on followed by a 10 second break. Each exercise completed twice either with the opposite hand or in the opposite direction. Exercises included:

  1. Slingshots
  2. Halos
  3. Single-leg deadlift
  4. Upright rows
  5. One-arm swings
  6. Side lunges
  7. Thrusters
  8. Rows
  9. Curls
  10. Triceps extension

Pax then formed a line for kettlebell pass throughs, which would have been more impactful with more than three people. (Cubby choose to run instead of kb due to an arm issue)
Once the pass throughs were completed we set the kettlebells in a row and ran to the first pre-placed cone and back. We then carried the bell to the first cone and completed 20 kettlebell merkins. We then ran to the next cone and back, grabbed the bell and advanced to the next cone for 20 calf raises. Rinse and repeat for five cones. Additional exercises (20 reps at each) were squats, shoulder presses and flutters.
Once completed we worked our way back to the start but instead of running to the next cone we always ran back to the first for a little extra mileage. Rinse and repeat until we got back to start.

WARMUP: SSH, Low Slow Squat, Imperial Walker, Merkin, Peter Parker, Moroccan Nightclubs
THE THANG: Grab your bells and scoot on over to the other side of the parking lot
Pair up by counting off. Poppins has a lame leg so he goes with the ones because there's a pair exercise.

Written in chalk in the parking spaces are seven exercises. They are spaced out so that you have to bell-crawl between them. Every exercise is each side or 20 combined.

  • Run a lap (no bell)
  • 10 shoulder press
  • 10 arm curl
  • 10 chest press
  • 10 bent over row
  • 30 swings
  • 10 electrice slide
  • WHAT? Two iron poles with a sand bag suspended in the middle. Each partner takes a deep step to one side in a deep. One knee at 90º, the other leg straight. Then stand up straight. Then to the other side. That's one.

After a full round is complete, sit down in a tight circle for "pass the Dutchie". One cycle L, R, L, R

One more circuit
Dutchie L, R

One final circuit
