Old school at the Fort

Leave a comment

The Fort is where it all started…need I say more. For many of the Pax of the Fort, this was their first post and it set the tone their journey since that time. While the Fort has multiplied many times over since it inception in 2012, this AO stands as the cornerstone for the culture, fellowship and brotherhood for our region.

YHC was excited to be asked to Q and while I had to navigate some calendar issues, it was an opportunity not to be missed.

In preparation for the Q, it was an easy decision to reach out to my Shieldlock brother, DD, to co-Q with me. He and I had been traveling this week and a beat down with some fellowship was just what the doctor ordered to remedy that jet lag.

Dick Webb, AB Board of Pain, and Lifting Heavy Things

Leave a comment

Pulled into WEP and parked at the little lot at the top of the hill. Had to unload some heavy things before heading down the hill to plant the flag at the COT area.

WARMUP: Stayed in the COT area for warmups.
SSHx25IC, WMsx7IC, IWsx10IC, CPsx10IC, HBWsx10IC, MNCx10IC. Completed the warmup by moseying from COT to the playground at WEP.

THE THANG:
Thang #1: Asked the PAX to find a spot where they can perform pullups ( or modify ) and merkins. DICK WEBB – 1st exercise 1-10 – Pullups, 2nd exercise 4-40 – Merkins. Totals = 55 Pullups & 220 Merkins, arms were smoked.

Thang #2: There is small parking lot at the top of the hill. This was our lifting area. Weinkie in this area is written below:
Sandbag = 5 ManMakers
Cindy = 5 Thrusters
2 – 35lb Dumbells = 5 Squat/Curl/OHPress
SlamBall = 5 OH Slams
20lb Rope & 50lb Sandbag pull = pull for 20 yards around the cones set-up in the area.

At the bottom of the hill heading down to the COT parking lot there was an AB BOP – See below:
100 – LBCs
90 – Flutters
80 – Penguin Touches
70 – Freddy Mercurys
60 – Reverse Crunches
50 – Mountain Climbers
40 – Big Boy Situps
30 – Straight Lower Leg Lifts
20 – American Hammers
10 – V-Sits

The routine was simple. Starting at the bottom of the hill complete the 1st exercise on the AB BOP. NUR to the top of the hill and enter into the lifting area. Grab a heavy thing and perform the described exercise ( asked the PAX to rotate which heavy things they lifted each turn ). Run back down to the bottom of the hill and perform the next exercise on the AB BOP. Rinse and repeat until complete.

MARY: NO TIME

WARMUP: SSH, Moroccan night clubs, Trucker not approved windmills, mountain climbers
THE THANG: started with one lap around WEP to get our blood pumping then back to start to assume the plank position. Did four reps of plank jacks, mountain climbers, shoulder taps, Supermans. Rinse and repeat with 8/16/32 reps.
Mozy to parking lot for four corners. Broken out by upper body, lower body, abs, and everything. Corner 1: 20 reps of merkins, CDD, Plank Jacks, wide arm merkins. Full lap to get to cone #2: 20 sumo squats, calf raises, monkey jumpers, bomb jacks. Full lap to get to corner 3: 20 big boy sit-ups, American hammers, box cutters, LBCs. Full lap to corner four: 10 burpees, 20 SSH, Mountain climbers, one leg merkins.
Mozy to COT for football warmups. Pax took turns being qb with remaining pax rotating in at wide receiver. While wr ran a post, remaining pax alternated between Al Gores, Squats, Merkins, American Hammers. Each dropped pass resulted in 2 burpees. (We did more than we should have)
Final parting wisdom…the mind quits before the body does, and somehow/some way it all gets done.
