Dude Where’s My Car

Leave a comment

I’ve wanted to do this workout for YEARS! I was always worried we wouldn’t have enough time to do it.
WARMUP: 10 SSH, 5 Windmills
THE THANG: The Dude Where’s My Car workout is to do a rep in every parking space in the lot. There are 242 parking spots on the left side of the NaFo parking lot when facing the school from the field. Each row was an exercise, and you performed a rep in each spot. It went as follows:
Row 1 (25 spots) 1 Mountain Climber, then Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 2 (25 spots) 1 Bobby Hurley
Row 3 (26 spots) 1 Plank Jack, then Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 4 (27 spots) 2 Lunges
Row 5 (28 spots) 2 Merkins (this felt much like a burpee when you then got up to move to the next spot)
Row 6 (24 spots) 5 Calf Raises
Row 7 (22 spots) 2 sets of Shoulder Taps and Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 8 (16 spots) 2 Big Boys
Row 9 (16 spots) 1 Burpee
Row 10 (12 spots) 1 Squat
Row 11 ( 10 spots) 1 Hand Release Merkin
Row 12 (11 spots) 10 single count Flutters
MARY: Since we didn’t find the car, we ran around the school to ensure we got it. Then we found our cars when we got back to COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: T&H tomorrow. Bethel Serve opportunity 9/5/24.
COT: Prayers for kids going to college, marriages and travel.

Thanks for the push and opportunity to lead a great group of men!

Back at it #MakeSkateGreatAgain

Leave a comment

If being truly honest, this was my 1st BC Q in quite some time (definitely over 6 months and probably closer to a year or more) and the nerves of would I remember what to do or the exercise names was real this morning…

Which reminds me of my favorite quotes:

“Nothing diminishes anxiety faster than action” ~Walter Anderson

No matter what you are anxious about, take a step… then a second… and then the next… and so on… before long you’ll turn around and see just how far you’ve come…

Funny, once we got started it was like riding a bike and all of the anxiety went away…

WARMUP: a few minutes of Broga to stretch it out a bit followed by some dynamic warmups

THE THANG: mosey to behind the JROTC building to pick up a Cindy. 5 rounds (10 reps down to 6 reps) completing each of the exercises before slow mosey to bottom of hill followed by accelerating run back to top.

Exercises w/ Cindy:
– Swings
– Overhead press
– Overhead Tricep extension
– Curls
– Upright row
– Bent over row
– Merkins
– Lunges
– Squats
– Calf raises

MARY: Shield had to bounce, so HC and I finished up our last set, returned the Cindy’s, and finished up at COT with some Mary…

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPs

COT: ya gotta show to know!

The Toilet Bowl Shuffle

Leave a comment

The Q pulled in hot right at 5:15. It’s science? :shrug:

Quick round of side straddle hops and we were off!

Moseyed over to the front of the school for some additional warmups before hitting the bowl for the thang.

The Thang;
Ran around the carline circle as a group while adding one merkin each time around. We did 10 laps.

Nured around the same circle while adding a squat each time around. Another 10 laps.

Over to the benches for 3 rounds or step up’s, dips, and LBCs doing 20 reps each round,

Back to COT for Mary, prayers, and praises.

Battle of Midway

Leave a comment

June 4, 5, 6, and 7 in 1942 was the battle of Midway.
Started with a mosey run to parking spot #19 and did: SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Moroccan N/C.

Then ran to spot #42 and did Low slow squats, arm circles, perter parkers
Talked about Pearl Harbor and how the IJN missed the carriers and they missed the cryptography offices.

Ran to the pull up bars, pax placed a cindy near the pull up bar and then did: 3 pull ups, 4 toes to bar, 5 manmakers. Plank for the six. Repeat. Plank for the six, repeat.

Talked about how the IJN code was partially broken by the US and knew that Midway island was the ‘bait’ to lure the USN carriers to fight and get sunk by the IJN.

Run relays: run to cone #1 (200 feet away) and do 20 bobby hurleys. Run back to start line. Run to cone #2 (400 feet away) and do 20 bobbies. Run back to start line. Run to cone #3 (600 feet away) and do 20 bobbies.
Noted in chalk was: Cone 1 = Enterprise, cone 2 = Hornet, cone 3 = Yorktown. These are the three USN carriers.

Pass the ammo: Pax curb plank, pass a cindy down the line, do three curb merkins, pass the block back, rinse repeat.

Noted how the IJN was stunned that the Yorktown was still afloat; they truly thought it was sunk a few weeks earlier at the battle of Coral Sea. But the Yorktown was patched up at Pearl (a miracle of manpower and materials) and made its way to Midway.

Blocks: Curls, OH press, KB swings, Squats.

Noted how a group of USN dive bombers (from the Enterprise) were searching for the IJN Carriers and were extremely low on fuel. Their leader, McClusky, had a choice: Return to the Enterprise for fuel and try again, or continue with the grid search pattern…McClusky does neither and on gut feel heads Northwest and finds three IJN carriers. Then, another miracle, a dive bomber wing from the Yorktown show up at the nearly the exact same spot a few minutes later. Result: Within three minutes three IJN carriers were on fire and badly hit. They sunk.

Mentioned how the fourth IJN carrier decided to steam ahead right into the USN fleet with the hubris to believe they could take them out themselves. This carrier was hit and sunk. Mentioned that USN carrier Yorktown got badly hit and sunk on June 7th. US lost 1 carrier, IJN lost four.

Ran to COT, did burpee quiz: Name the USN carriers. (correctly answered and subtraction of 3 burpees), Name the USN carrier sunk (correctly answered Yorktown and subtraction of 3 burpees). Pax still had to do 6 burpees.

Fini.

Attended my niece’s 5th grade graduation where (3) students conducted the commencement address. A consistent theme from them aligned with the schools mission:
– Personal accountability
– Attitude
– Work Ethic
YHC was impressed at their ability to deliver the speech and the values for which they espoused. It aligns with our mission and opportunity. Dont make life too complex. Ask a 5th grader whats important. Be prepared for more knowledge and wisdom than you might expect!
