Dealing out some Man Makers

Leave a comment

WARMUP: The usual… SSH, various walkers, some nightclubs… all the fun stuff
THE THANG: Broke out a deck of cards, but I know Band Camp always complains about the low numbers being too easy so I modified the work to accommodate. I left swings off however, just to give him something to complain about…

Diamonds: Overhead Press (each arm)
Hearts: Squats
Spades: Lat Raises
Clubs: Curl (total not per arm)

Numbers 2-4 were man-makers instead of the above movement, and Aces were 1 man-maker followed by a lap around the lot

Made it through most of the deck. One lap and a few man-makers short of complete…

COT: thanks to all who joined me. Good times we’re had by all

Bakers Dozen

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey around the lot and circle up adjacent to the bells. Various exercises with burpees sprinkled in between
THE THANG: it’s good to have a partner – took the Bells to the gym parking lot. Partner 2 ran between light poles while partner 1 started on 100-200-300: 100 curls, 200 swings, 300 flutters

When complete, pax took bells to a space of their choice in the lot and, based on the lot number, did the corresponding number of exercises with each number
Manmakers – 1st number
Swings – 2nd number
Squats – 3rd number

Switched Peking spaces and did the same.

MARY: made it back for more flutters and American hammers with the bell took us to 0600.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes. Read your newsletter
COT: 5th core principle

LIV vs PGA Tour at the Hive

Leave a comment

Uhaul was spinning the tunes by request which meant 80s and 90s rap hits. It is clearly a spiritual gift for him and the Pax appreciate it.

WARMUP:

Mosey around the parking lot
Windmills x 10
MNC x 15
Planks

THE THANG:

Separate into two groups (LIV tour and PGA Tour). Focus today would be KB exercises to improve golf swing accuracy and distance. Tours would do 3 sets of each exercise with 12 reps followed by a lap and then switch tours.

LIV
Hand Plank Reach
Merkins
Mtn Climbers

PGA Tour
KB Swings
Rows
IW

Lap then switch

Round 2
LIV Tour
Floor press
Russian Twist
Skull crushers

PGA Tour
Halo
Lateral swings
Slalom jumps

Lap then switch

All Tours
Goblet Squats
Curls
Big Boys

Mosey back to COT

COT: YHC had not Q’ed in some time and while I laid out a clear disclaimer, I failed to recognize that we had an FNG brought to us by Cohiba. Thanks to the pax, we were able to remedy this and provide him with a good name and explanation of F3 and the core principles.

I left the Pax with a question…what times in your life have truly brought you joy? Its a question that I was journaling about last night. What stands out to me is my wedding, the birth of my girls, seeing my girls succeed at something and the fellowship of the Pax

What has truly brought you joy?

Slash’s Snake trip

Leave a comment

Sprint the tiny hill behind the stadium

8 min EMOM
3 single arm dead lift
2 clean and squat
1 squat thruster
Repeat on other side
Rest the remainder of the minute

Sets of 5 on each side in the grass
Single arm swing to snatch
Split squat
Lunge to halo

5 burpee snatches each side

Some shin box mobility to close

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Convergence 7/4
Bethel 7/6
HIM Camp 8/11-8/13

COT:
Quote from Airborne: It’s easier to raise a son than fix a broken young man. Try to do the harder thing (like waking up to workout). Cause that harder thing for me is often being patient and soft with my words around a 9-year old boy that shares my last name. I’m more emotionally built to power through burpee snatches… parenting effectively takes work
