Bounty Hunter return to the gloom

Bounty Hunter (Slackless) had far too few coupons and led us through a “pass the weights around” board of pain. When we had enough, we moseied around the Site choosing our own exercises in cadence.

My man Bounty was a little rusty…all the more reason to get his butt back in the gloom.

Carry the keg

WARMUP: did some stuff
THE THANG: the keg is not allowed to touch the ground for the next 45 minutes. Guys shared the burden as we traveled around campus. Found two hills and did bear crawls and lunges up and down the hill while doing some exercises at top. Happened to find one ofTiller‘s tires and did some flips with that too.

Training Ground Carry

WARMUP: Nope
THE THANG: 6 PAX shared (3) 60lb sand bags while the 7th man nursed an injury while wearing a weight vest, of course.
Make our way over to the WEP parking lot and down the trail weaving our way to the bottom of Harris Street. Here’s where we tried something new. Each PAX would have the “opportunity” to single-handed farmers carry the 60lb sand bag up to the top of the hill.
From there, make our way over to the bottom of Massey for…you guessed it, walking backward up Masses. Every PAX went 2x.
MARY: Not officially but tighten your core during the carries.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Give blood.
COT: 5th Core Principle.

Something with hyenas

WARMUP: Showing up to the small crew of misfits was honestly a treat. After the disclaimer, we started with a short and slow mosey. 30 seconds in, the mumblechatter and “complaining” was alive. The mosey was about 1/4 mile, maybe. We did these exercises for the warmup with some pausing, some gasping, some stopping: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, back and quad stretches.
THE THANG: As we moved over to the turnabout area in front of the football field, YHC had 10 exercises with rep counts written down.
1. Plank horizontal pull throughs- 10
2. plank vertical pulls – 10 (up/down 1 arm is 1)
3. 1/4 Turkish get up – 5/side
4. Hammer twist each side into sprinter sit up- 10
5. Dying cockroach with straight arm kb extension – 10
6. Kb swings – 20
7. lunge with kb leg pass through – 10
8. Kneeling wood chops with kb – 10/side
9. Flutter with kb straight arm hold – 20 double count
10. Plank row with Parker Peter- 10 per side

After round 1 we did a short mosey (or partial mosey) and back for rinse and repeat until time ran out…ended after #8.

You had to be here for the Kielbasa stories.
MARY: core was a focus area during workout so no Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive, D2D bar, Feb Epic fundraiser
COT: enjoyed the chatter with these guys and did a quick around the horn for prayers and praises.
