It was a beautiful morn in The Fort and there was a sense of wisdom in the air that swooped down in the form of Falcon Crest.

Top three quotes of the morning:
“I got my drinking buddy pregnant.”
“The owner of a night club said you get enough people together a shooting is bound to happen.”
“Let me walk you through the woods on that.”

Half of the workout was cardio followed by a 43 pound cinderblock workout.

We also worked our brains out from all of the content consumed.

Sweet and Spicy at The Fort

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Peach Stand started us off with the warmup of SSH, Imperial Walkers, and possibly a few others gone from memory.

THE THANG 1:
PeachStand instructed Pax to pick a rock from the piles behind the amphitheater (and to choose wisely).
The “thang” was a ladder to “9”, starting with 8 Mike Tysons right behind the amphitheater, and 1 bomb jack at the entrance of the parking lot (up the hill). The mode of transportation running (or walking briskly) with our coupon held straight over our heads. Harry Carry did more running than anyone (perhaps even more than the rest of us combined).

THE THANG 2:
YHC took over and educated the Pax on the rules of a Webb-o-rama. 4 cones set up along path in front of the amphitheater. On each cone were 2 exercises to be done in Jack Webb style (1:4 ratio)
Cone 1- 1 6-count Burpee : 4 SSH
– >> Bear crawl to next station
Cone 2 – 1 Big boy sit up : 4 American Hammers
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 3 – 1 Knee tar N’Diaye : 4 Squats
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 4 – Traditional Jack Webb –
– >> Run Around parking lot, up the hill to the entrance, then back to first station
Instead of doing all 10 reps at once, we broke it up into 3 rounds.
Round 1: 1-5
Round 2: 6-8
Round 3: 10 (skipped 9 since we ran out of time).

Great work done by all men. Thanks for the chance to lead, JWOW.

WARMUP: Mosey to the swing & do an exercise
In c cadence all the way around the park – 9 stations, 9 exercises – .6 miles. Warmup complete

THE THANG: At the hill behind the restroom building – 10 squats at the bottom every time back down. Shuttle run to each light pole for 10 of a particular type of Merkin and return to the bottom for squats. Regular – pole 1, Diamond- pole 2, Wide arm – pole 3, Regular – Pole 4, Diamond – Pole 5. Plank for the 6 and on to the adjacent parking lot after a 10 count.

Soccer field parking lot – 7’s – Diamond merkins and Mike Tyson’s. Bear crawling and lunge walking were the suggested MOT’s.

After a ten count – we went to the infamous hill at the back of WEP for a Jacobs Ladder of 11’s.
Burpees at the bottom, nur up the hill, lunges at the top and jog back down. Repeating until pax had gotten their fill.

With 10 minutes or so to go, we moseyed together in reverse and, at each swing, an exercise was called in cadence. We arrived at the final swing at 0728 giving us 2 minutes to get to COT and arrive promptly at 0730.

MARY: No sir. Open to all men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Were announced. And they’re in your newsletter too.

COT: Is and always will be the 5th core principle.

JWOW – thanks for the call. Always honored to lead. :eye:

Charons’ Boat & Schwing stuff

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, 5 Burpees, imperial squat-walkers, 4 Burpee, Moroccan nightclub-Calf raises, 3 Burpee, cherry picker, 2 Burpee‘s, hillbilly walkers, 1 Burpee

THE THANG: tried dragging Charon‘s boat 1.0 (pictures in site- Q channel) and quickly realized it was too devastating to the landscape.
Minor disassembly turned this into 2- Man heavy-ass-coupons.

Two stops were made on the way to the playground (at the swinging chairs).

First stop, 10 Lieutenant Dan’s IC,

second stop 1- legged LBC complex (LBC, pickle pointer, cross elbow/knee… Then flapjack) 15 IC each

At the playground, Dora Work using the “Schwings”:
100 knee-tuck Merkins, 200 leaning jump squats, 250 inverted Rows (all on the swings)

Meanwhile… Partner, PAX runs up a slide, slides back down, 3 Burpee’s, and lap around the playground to switch

After this, we picked up afore-mentioned heavy-ass-coupons, made 1 stop on the way back to the flag to do 10 more Lt. Dan IC

MARY: bro(Y)oga for ~10 min.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: QvQ, cleanup, Convergence, Jaegar

COT: held… Prayers for marriages, communication, and recovery from injuries.

Charon’s Boat 2.0 will return in a safer (to the landscape) form in the near future

Stop and go light or Traffic signal?

Fact: the weinke went through the washing machine as soon as I got home, it did not make it to the dryer

Fact: <@UGU3XR5RP> thought <@U5CVD8D7V> was going to be at The Fort. He was disappointed that DH did not show, he was also very disappointed that I was on Q. 100% True.

Fact: this Q is old, I left it all on the field and was sore for 2 days, but was still only 28% of Band Camp

We toured Fort Mill:
-lot across from Vet park
-The Print Shop parking lot (was hoping for a morning brew, but no go)
-Church of God parking lot
-First Baptist parking lot
-St Johns UMC parking lot
-the wall by Kimballs
-Vet Park parking lot
-back to COT

most stops were 1 exercise, various transportation across the lot, 1-2 exercise, back across, 1-2-3 exercise

We did a Jonah Hill at The Church of God

We did a Matt Foley at St John UMC

Wall work and various Jacks at the Kimballs wall

Mahktar N’Diayes were included at one stop

Bear Crawls, Crawl Bears, Crab Walks, etc

Band Camp, Cyclops and JWOW led the way. Fitness levels that I will never realize.

<@U6AS1MBPG> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated for an hour, and ran back with 2-50lb sand bags, backwards in the snow. Beast.
<@U5RTPS4M8> ran to The Fort from 6@6, participated (ribbon TBD) and ran back
Twisty, Bass and Fogerty dressed like a stop and go light stopped in

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow
