Swinging Richards at the Hive

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It was cold so we started with a 5 minute mosey to warm up. Mixed in some high knees, butt kickers, and karaoke along the way.
Ended back up at COT. Running portion of the workout was completed. Needed to warm up our bells so we circled up and performed the following: CherryPickersx5inCadence, WindMillsx5inCadence, SSHx12inCadence, Figure8sx12OYO, SSHx10inCadence, 10 KB Swings OYO, SSHx8inCadence, 8 KB Snatches, SSHx6inCadence, 6 DeadLifttoCurltoPress w/ KB.

Now we were ready to swing!

THE THANG: Stayed in the COT area for our first round with
RichardWebb – Exercise #1: 1-10 – DeadLifttoCurltoPress w/KB & Exercise #2: 4-40 – KB Swings

The PAX needed a break from all of the swinging, so we decided to meet up with Dora.

Single Dora #1 – Partner #1 Exercise: Side Lunges w/ KB – 100 reps, MOT for partner #2 = Murder Bunny out, Rifle Carry back from the posts at COT to the first pole down the sidewalk.

After our experience with Dora left us wanting more, we decided to pay Richard Webb another visit since he showed us a swinging good time at the beginning of the workout!

Richard Webb #2: Exercise #1: 1-10 – Alt KB Snatches ( count right hand only ) & Exercise #2: 4-40 – BentOverRows

We had to cut our 2nd experience with RW short ( managed to make it to reps 8 – 32 ).due to time. If we had more time we would have paid Dora another visit for the following:

Single Dora #2 – Partner #1 Exercise: Figure8s – 100 reps, Partner #2 MOT = Bear Crawl out, Crawl Bear back from the posts at COT to the first pole down the sidewalk.

Alas, we were done, arms were smoked, and legs were saved for D2DB10k tomorrow! Thanks to Richard Webb and Dora for showing us a swinging good time!

MARY: NO TIME

ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D race, D2DB10k race, upcoming Bethel serve, Jaeger CSAUP, etc…

NMM
This morning was what I needed. We may not have pushed as hard as we could, but we made time for conversation and laughs. We have what so many men don’t – friends, fellowship, and an outlet that allows for fun before we have to get corporate and serious. We might as well have been middle schoolers in gym glass today. Stories, laughs, a little work, but a lot of fun.

We talked about the joys and perils of the season. We’ve reached the part in the year between Christmas and New Year’s where we’re not sure what day it is. We’ve probably gained a pound or five and we’re starting to adjust to the extra volume of things and noise in our homes.

But, be aware with increased time with loved ones, patience can wear thin and tempers can flare. Step back, take a breath, and watch your tongue. We cannot underestimate the impact we have on our families as present dads.

I encourage you to keep this going through the new year. Fun is the secret ingredient to great fatherhood.

Aye!
IJ
