Legs and things

Begin with the end in mind

WARMUP:
Goofballs at variable cadence
Low slow squat
merkins
GTFO – we have work to do

THE THANG:
sprint up the big hill

Mozey on the trail to Harris Street Park w/pain stations:
20 high knees
20 flutters
20 diamond merkins
20 overhead claps
20 jump squats
20 bomb jacks
Some would call this trail “off road” including YHC, but there were some other, wronger opinions expressed by some in the group

at Harris Street Park
Basketball court:
Burpee broad jumps down and back

Benches:
10 each leg Bulgarian split squats
20 dips

Swings:
10 derkins
10 pullups

Rinse, repeat, and roll back up the trail of pain to COT…
…But wait, we made one last stop at the big hill.

Today’s lesson is: begin with the end in mind. We began with hill sprints, and ended with hill sprints to drive the lesson home.

The end of the workout when you are tired is where the real growth happens. We got some today.

Running … into trees

It was hot and humid, first day all year as such.
We ran.
Some ran 3.4 miles.
At least one ran 5.5 miles.
At least one ran into a tree (it’s not a laughing matter)
At least one hung out by the bank and smoked Marlboro Reds (rumor has it)

Get off my lawn!

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

Bell repeats

WARMUP: Mosey for a short lap then circle up for SSHs, Windmills, Low slow squats, Merkins, and Hillbilly Walkers.
THE THANG: I’m a big fan of simple yet difficult. So I stole some things from rucking and repurposed them.
First thing was 15 min AMRAP of the following 3 things:
15-High pulls, 15-Swings, and 15-Overhead squats.
Not going to lie, I thought we were close to time and then looked at watch and it said 7 minutes. Finished up then moved over to far parking lot.
Buy-in=4 line suicide with 5 bombjacks at each line
8 rounds of the following:
5 Burpees
8 Curls
8 Triceps
8 Mountain Climbers
8 Merkins w/bell pull thru
We got through about 5 rounds before time was running short. So finished up with run across lot for 10 bombjacks then grab the bells and head back to COT.
Finished with 10 bell overhead big boys and 10 flutters.

I definitely don’t do kettlebell workouts enough. I need to do a better job of working it into my rotation. I also need to be better prepared. I thought Uhual would bring some music but he didn’t show this morning. So the PAX made up for it in mumblechatter. I appreciate all the PAX coming out this morning and Battle-bot for the Q opportunity.
