Break up rounds with deadlift sets.
WARMUP: run 1 lap around the perimeter of the parking lot. Circle up, Moroccan nightclubs, low slow squats, windmills.
THE THANG: Due to Quack Attack’s car, we had to start at the dark red lightning bolt. (See attached high tech AO recreation software) First call was to bunny hop suicides. After traveling to the first light, that was an extremely dumb idea. Modified to lunges. We would stop at each light pole, marked by the yellow circles. We would do 10 swings at each light, drop the bell and run back to the red lightning bolt, traveling in the direction of the blue arrow for the first. 10 merkins at the starting point and run to our bells. 10 merkins before advancing our bells via lunge walks now. 10 swings and run back to the start. 10 merkins at the start and run to the bell for 10 more merkins before lunge walking to the other side of the parking lot.
Next we gathered at the red hexagon. We would send 1 person to run the direction of the pink arrow to the other end of the parking lot and back. They were the timer.
The exercises we did:
Curls
Z – Press (with discussion about how it doesn’t look like a Z)
Chest Press
Calf raises
Swings
Squats
(In no particular order)
Next we gather at the location of the green arrow and did a similar suicide iteration at the first. This time we did overhead carry and squats. Merkins at the green arrow and again before advancing the bell with the overhead carry.
Did a couple moseys to the far end of the parking lot. Some people were chatting so called some burpees to grab the attention again.
Next we did some more calf raises to get these Pax ready for the Clave Boss!
Did another mosey and then some dynamic cool down, including toy soldiers, regular mosey and karaoke.
MARY: Airborne Hip thing and 1 last mosey
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year, Christmas party, BBQ CSAUP, Final Countdown
COT: Stays in COT.
WARMUP:
Mozy round the lot. Old man windmills. Mountain Climbers. Merkins. Diamond Merkins. Wide arm merkins. Low slow Squats.
THE THANG:
Split up into pairs. One pair of PAX serves as the timer for a set of exercises. One PAX hops on and steers an ATV in neutral gear with no power while the other PAX pushes it down the parking lot for about 80 yards. At the turn around point, they switch places and race back to the starting line. Targeted average time is about 80 seconds. While the timers are doing their thang, remaining PAX are working a list of exercises:
KB Swings
KB Squats
Chest Press
Man makers
Thrusters
Triceps extension
Upright Row
Once all 4 pairs of PAX complete their turn as the timer, the PAX with the winning time planks while everyone else pays a 15 burpee penalty.
MARY: Dead bug, heel taps, LBC, box cutters, big boy sit ups and the finisher: Airborne’s hip exercises.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 2 CSAUPs coming in Sep and Oct.
COT:
WARMUP: First, we warmed up.
THE THANG: Then we did a lot of kettlebell stuff and ran a little.
MOSTLY, we listened to what might have been the worst playlist ever conceived. From the marginally incestuous Osmonds, to the Killers, to what was probably the biggest surprise which was Wilford Freaking Brimley. The diabeetus commercial guy you say? Yes. Beloved actor who starred in the 1985 hit movie Cocoon? Yes. He’s a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Well, he was when he was alive, yes… but please tell me THAT isn’t the thing that you find most surprising. He has albums. Of music. Where he sings. Doesn’t that shake you a little more to your core? I mean… even just a little? And to add insult to injury (and trust me, his singing was injurious), there’s not a single freaking song on his album about DIABETES TESTING SUPPLIES. Seriously, lean into your strengths, Wilford. WTF? You know diabetes supplies like no other… and yet you choose to sing about someone’s silver-haired daddy…? I’m not sure what to think anymore… I’m not sure this world was meant for me…
MARY: Once again, girls aren’t allowed. Core Principle #2.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: Core Principle #5
WARMUP: dynamic: exercise>Mosey>rinse/repeat
THE THANG: 4 Corners. Each corner had two exercises. Do exercise 1 run to middle for 3 burpees run back out to next corner. Complete rotation. Rinse/repeat with exercise 2. 10 reps each. Continue with 8 reps then 6 reps.
MARY: various all counted by Repeat
Armory is funny. How do you keep fresh what is essentially the same thing. Maybe that can be true for all workouts. T-Claps to those creative types that continue to push and find new wrinkles to keep pax engagement high. While four corners isn’t new, nor the exercises, hopefully the style and rep count kept it interesting.
Lots of #mumblechatter today. Mainly about the music selection (and the size of Repeats bell). We had two camps- I’ll just say the cut line was 45/older and 44/younger. The DJ spun the debut album of Cinderella. Hair band hierarchy. And while they may have sound all the same(to some), you knew every dang word. Lucky for 44 crowd- the entire record is only 35 minutes.
Lastly- there is no one like @slash. #Slam
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Blood donation coming up mid July.
Final Countdown CSAUP this fall.
WARMUP: Lap around the lot with some SSH, Windmills, Moroccan Night Clubs, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, and Cherry Pickers
THE THANG:
Board of Pain with rotating PAX being used as the timers:
Timing Movements:
– 25 Wall Balls (first time through the below list)
– 25 Slam Balls (second time through the list)
– 25 Over the shoulder sandbag toss (third time through but never made it to this one)
Rest was whatever time it took for the PAX doing the above movement to return to their bell and the next one to begin the timing movement
Remaining completed PAX board of pain consisting of:
– Swings
– Curls
– Squats
– Upright Rows
– Figure 8
– Bent Over Rows
– Chest Press
– Swings
– Halos
– Lunges
– Skull Crushers
– Snatch
Apparently swings are so great I put them on there twice. Bonsai had the quick idea to do one of the movements you missed during your timing round. Well thought out… clearly a man who is used to adjusting his Weinke on the fly…
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hog & Coyote is tomorrow, but if you didn’t know that, it is probably in your best interest to not make any decisions about it at this point
