Surrogate BB for 12/1

Leave a comment

WARMUP: while the posting numbers are inaccurate, due to the many folks that don’t find the BB system worth their time… Some of us enjoy seeing the numbers climb.

Getting these done increases the accuracy of that,
and any motivation is good motivation IMHO.

THE THANG: kettlebell type stuff
MARY: abdominal type stuff
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter type stuff
COT: prayer type stuff

It was a cold balmy morning in the fort, but the heat from the bell sparks :firecracker: kept us warm.

Warmup and then The Thang:

Murder Bunny to every parking spot line followed by 5 LB Swings.

Lunge to every parking spot line followed by 10 snatches.

Other core exercises were thrown in as an active rest.

So many zoom from womb to tomb and never truly understand their purpose. Ask yourself today, “who are you and why are you here?”

You are more than your job title. You are more than your hobbies. If you don’t know who you’re serving, you may be living for your own ego. Discover who you are today.

Aye!

Baker Mayfield is not Pence

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH, merkins, squats, Broga

THE THANG:
Untraditional 11s. At first I wanted to go all the way through from 10 to 1, but YHC quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to make it so I modified as needed. We worked through the first two exercises from 10 down to 8, then flipped to the next two exercises. Then flip back down for 7-5, then flipped back. Last set was 4 to 1.

We got through two sets of exercises before time ran out.

Merkins alternating hand on bell
Chest press

Second set
Squats
Set ups (each leg as 1)

Next round
Curls
Single arm row (each side)

Swings
Nut cracker

Solid workout and 0 running. According to my watch I burned 600 calories.

MARY:
No time left
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Read newsletter
COT:
You had to be there.
