Leg Day Loop

Leave a comment

It was a hot humid morning in The Fort at Sweep The Leg. We had 6 pax post to start the week right.

Disclaimer was given.

Today is about realizing you can’t do it all on your own. To often we fail to realize that we can’t bear the burden all on our own, thankfully we have our tribe, our pax our shield locks to help us through the hard times. Together we are stronger. Today our pain stations are about showing that

Pax divided into pairs of similar paced runners. Today the number to remember is 200 all pain stations

PAX on a String

Leave a comment

We had 9 Him (3 Runners and 7 Bootcampers) at The Fort this morning for PAX on a string! What is PAX on a string you may ask? 🤔🤯 Let’s find out.

Warmup

20 Side Straddle Hops
10 Cherry Pickers
10 Windmills 
10 Little Arm Circles
10 Merkins 
Down Dog/Honeymooners 
10 Dying Cockroaches 

The Thang

PAX on a String – I happen to have a battle rope in my car like I am sure most people do 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️, so the idea was to keep the PAX together and engaged. Everywhere we moseyed we all had to carry the battle rope together. First stop was the Church about a half mile down the road.

Once we got to the church we setup the battle rope where each PAX got a chance to use the rope. The timer was the rest of the group running stairs. Every 3 sets of the stairs, one the PAX would rotate to the rope. After everyone got a shot at the ropes we switched to dragon walking up the stairs same rotating fashion with the rope. 

We moseyed about another half mile down the road to the next church, PAX on a String style, for a little Dora action.

Partner 1
100 Merkins 
200 Squats 
300 V-Ups

Partner 2 
Run around the playground 

Each time you finished an exercise we did a battle rope partner pull across the parking lot hill.

Half way through the V-Ups we moseyed another half mile towards one of the Pike parking lots, PAX on a String style of course, to finish up the V-Ups.

We headed back to COT for some Mary and announcements/prayer/praises.

I recently asked Badlands for a Q At Sweep The Leg. He gave me June 13th and I accepted the assignment forgetting that was the Monday after a week at the beach. Vacation is rough on the body. But all in all it turned out fairly well. Ran one of my fastest miles 7:42 pace that morning and it all went quickly  downhill from there. Noticed a fairly large gathering for my Q which was obvious since I’m a celebrity in F3. Noticeably missing was Bobber.

The Thang

Told everyone what the plan was at 5:14. Which was, run to Berkshire Heights meet at the stop sign. Go clockwise around Berkshire stopping at every stop sign and doing 5 Hand-release Merkins, 5 X and O, 5 Jump Squats. There are 6 stop signs all the way around and one big hill the last 1/4 mile. The next loop add 5 more reps to same exercises for 10 of each. Everyone got over 2 loops some pushed for 3. Finished with 3.35 miles the others got 4. Thanks Badlands for the Q I enjoyed hearing the complaining  from the Pax.
Last thing men. Let’s show the world what a real man looks like. Be kind to strangers even if they think differently than you. Hold the door for a lady as she exits the store. Open the car door for your wife. Go buy her womanly things without bitching about it. Say your kids prayers at night while tucking them in. Push the buggy back inside the grocery store. Love you guys more than you will ever know.

Prayers for Decibel son Noah and his recovery
