MILGA does the Hive

Leave a comment

Noticeably absent was Deep Dish

– partner sit ups, farmer carries, back to back passes
– 5 rounds of 10 curls, 10 tri, 10 swings

lots of mumberchatter, yall should incorporate more f2 into life. its not just about working out

Word from the Bird:
3 zones and 3 types of people attend F3. We all have a reason and none is more valid than the other. Some guys are there to work out, others to talk none stop for 45 minutes straight, …. then there is the third group. This group endures your hard charging can do workout attitude, and the guy that never shuts up. Why do they do this?

They do it for the 20 seconds in COT they get to speak their heart and mind. It may be the only opportunity they get that day or week to share something in a safe space.

Don’t sleep on the importance of this guy because he isn’t sleeping on your importance. I also ask to honor this guy and his time. He dealt with all your shit for 45 minutes so give him his 30 seconds. You don’t have to speak, just listen.

That is enough.

What she said

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
THE THANG: 10+3 got Hived as I visited the DMZ and gave a KB lesson.
– <@U05RN7GSDLH> , <@U0904HV02BY> , and <@U05K5D10AG6> rucked it out. I believe that most of the world’s problems got solved, but as capitalists, you’ll have to pay to find out the answers.
– <@U03B9G9BXJM> came dressed for a chilly golf outing, complete with puffy jacket. Guys gave him a lot of crap, but they don’t have sensitive nipples, so they don’t get it.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> was in typical form. That means it was a non-stop stream of working hard at both the exercises and giving me a hard time.
– <@U087NCUTMPT> has HCed to bringing an additional 50 lb KB to the Hive from now on for those who are interested. So… no one.
– <@U19FA0Q8Z> is a grown-ass man. NOT a grown ass-man. Hyphens matter.
– <@UGYDCTRST> gave me a normal fist bump at the end, and after checking his temp (rectally, of course) to make sure he wasn’t ill, he recognized where he went off the rails and gave me the normal Slash treatment.
– <@U5DBBKTE0> was the standard and helped us with our form. That was the focus this morning, doing the right things the right way. When that’s the theme, he’s the go to.
– <@U0A25GTDDEJ> has his foot on the accelerator. But he’s not redlining yet. He wins the Helmet award for my favorite guy that had his VQ this week at Ring of Badgers (Fire).
– <@U06P97NSX17> was the sole representative from the Gaggle of Degenerates. Especially since the King of the Degenerates (<@USBP08L1G>) was occupied elsewhere.
– <@U5DKASDQU> was the WarDaddy today (see previous bullet as to why). On a side note, his new retirement gig is developing lesson plans for a new Minnesota Quality Learing Center franchise he’s opening on the WestSide.

This report is true and is able to be copied and pasted into the /slackblast by any man who wants those stats bumped up.

Lazy Susan Kettlebell Buffet at the Hive

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mountain climbers, Imperial walkers, Arm circles. Brief mozy around the parking lot.
THE THANG: All Pax grab their kettlebell and form a line on the same pavement seam at COT. Left arm touching the person next to them’s shoulder for spacing. Everyone then leaves their kettlebell at their feet and makes the same line to the right of all kettlebells while assuming the plank position. Pax at the end passes the first bell to the person on their right who then passes it on to the next, etc. After passing the bell, each pax side-planks to their left to receive the next kettlebell. Rinse and repeat until all kettlebells have been passed through the line. Once completed, Pax on the right repeats and passes the bells to their left until all have been passed through the line.
Pax then moved to the base of the hill and faces the small roundabout equally-ish spaced around the circle, placing their kettlebell at their feet. Each Pax does 8 reps of one exercise using their own bell then side planks to their right to the next bell for the same exercise. Rinse and repeat until returning back to their own kettlebell. (56 total reps). Exercises were flutter with press, swings, upright rows, triceps. Mode of transportation alternated each lap between side planks and lunges.
Mozy to the bottom of the hill. There were five cones placed going up the hill with the final cone being at the top. Pax would run to the first cone and back to the previous where they grab their kettlebell and returned to the first cone. At each cone there is a single exercise written on it. Pax complete the exercise (20 reps) then rinse and repeat the process to get to the next cone and up the hill. Exercises were “from the ground up” and included kettlebell merkins, calf raises, squats, shoulder presses, and halos.
What goes up must come down so we repeated the process to get back to the start.
With a few minutes left, we returned to the circle for a lap of biceps curls and side planks before returning to COT.
MARY: Nada.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: T-Day Convergence, holiday party, newsletter.
COT: Family, holiday stress, enjoying every moment and being thankful for what we have.
