Munitions Work

Leave a comment

Three pax posted at the Fort.
Started with a run down the trail to Harris St park (~1/2mi).
The 6@6 ruckers came around the corner upon our arrival at the park, so we all joined up for a warmup:
SSHs, windmills, imperial walkers, Moroccan n/c, Low slow squats, big arm circles, peterparkers, plank stretches.
Ruckers left and we three went to the basketball court:
Thang1: Relays: 20 mountain climbers at the baseline, run to ½ court and do 30 mountain climbers, run back to baseline, run to far court and do 40 mtn climbers, tun back to baseline.
Thang 2: at benches: step ups (10 each leg), incline merkins (12 I/C), dips (12 I/C), butt touch squats (12), decline merkins (10 I/C), calf raises (15).
Next we ran down Harris St to Massey, and Massey up to Pike’s large parking lot (~0.7mi).
Thang 3: Munitions factory: pax do low plank for 1 min (this is home), then bear crawl about 100 yards (this is your commute), then do work at your factory making BOMBS (pax do 25 each of: burpees, OH claps, merkins, big boy sit ups, squats), then commute back home doing a nur, then low plank again for 1 min.
Next we ran down to White St and over to McCannon to the side parking lot at Springs.
Thang 4: fish tracks: pax do transportation movement until Q says halt and do exercise noted. We did: toy soldiers – bobby hurleys; bear crawls – merkins; lunge walks – smurf jacks (sneaky quad buster).
Then to Thang 4: wall work: Wall sits (with pax doing consecutive 10 counts; repeat), and then balls to the wall contest (go until pax drop).
Next run back to shovel flag for some mary…we did the Sally (Moby’s Flower) routine where leg raises for “bring sally up” and 6 inch leg hold on “bring sally down”.
Fini, COT.
Prayers for travel and marriages and families.

OCR Practice Day

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We did an extended full body warm-up with various exercises focused on the hamstrings.
THE THANG:
This was a practice Obstacles Course Run OCR testing our athleticism and endurance. We ran it together. There was a lot of up and down movements, running into and out of “obstacles”, bear crawls, mountain climbers, and small hills. We ran just over a 5k distance + obstacles.
I want to say that @SouptoNuts and @Headspin did a great job with a difficult workout goal today. They kept moving and were definitely challenged endurance and athleticism-wise. Keep up the great work!

MESSAGE: (My words were requested):
Topic: Pride, Worry/Anxiety, Laziness:
Has the enemy batted you down a path to destruction with some of these above?

– Watch out for PRIDE.
Humility is a posture, not a feeling.
– Worry/Anxiety:
Worry is anti-prayer.
When you worry, cast those things on God.
– Laziness is an abdication of responsibility.
Watch out for isolation.
– HOPE: 1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because He cares for you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: None.
COT: There are some key prayer requests within the PAX for family dealing with health challenges. For all of us for humility, direction, and openness to SkyQ’s will.
