THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

King of the Ring – Round 2 – The Rocket Burner

Leave a comment

Ring of Fire – King of the Ring Challenge
Round 2 – Previous Kings are Q
Oh the humidity was cranked up!! Soupy swampy hot. ZERO breeze. Excellent mumblechatter in COT while we all stretched out. Senator Tressel came in hot, but caught up to us on the warmup run. 13 dawgs let loose!!

Warmup:
Slow run loop around the parking lot, approx. 400-500m, then circle up near COT for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 WM
– 15 MNC
– 15 IW
– 10 Strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the USMC JROTC building, roadway near the sidewalk to the pull-up bars for…..

THE THANG:
The Rocket Burner Circuit
Setup: 5 stations, each with an exercise. Some have modes of transportation listed to get to the next station. PAX are to grab 2 cinder blocks from storage and put them on the roadway near the sidewalk to the pull up bars. Then get after it. Cones were used to mark station locations. Station 1 was at the pull-up bars, station 2 was at the roadway, beginning of sidewalk to pull-up bars, station 3 was along the roadway, towards A.O. Jones, approx. 5-60 yds away, station 4 was same location as station 2, station 5 was at bottom of hill at stop sign. That is the circuit.
Do the work. No music, just work. Once all stations are done, scoring of one round is once you return to station 1 to start over. King is the one who does the most rounds.
Stations and MoT are:
1. 5 pull-ups, frolick (walk, skip, whatever) to #2
2. With one cindy, 15 overhead presses, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #3
3. With one cindy, 15 curls, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #4
4. With BOTH cindies, 15 deadlift into calf raise. Full up, full down. Then no more cindies. Run downhill to #5.
5. 5 burpees, 20 lunges (10 ea leg), 25 LBC. Run uphill to #1
6. That is one round
7. Repeat

WINNER IS: BAND CAMP!! He was a machine, cranking out almost 6 full rounds (or was it 6 full, started on 7th?). Harry Carry was hot on his heels. Everyone cranked out at least 3. I got 4 full, started on 5th, but threw in the towel after pull-ups. A lot of excellent mumblechatter and push/pull from each PAX. Guys were REALLY going after it, pushing hard. No cinder blocks were harmed, too. :blush:

Stored the cindies just in time to get back to COT right at 6.

MARY: None

Announcements: The Barry is coming!! Read your newsletter, get involved!!

COT: A lot of P&P lifted. Do not carry it all inside.

Cake Boss came up with a GREAT idea with this King of the Ring challenge. Looking forward to the next rounds!! BRING IT!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Blessings and SYITG.

We need tribute

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, SSH, and windmills
Mumblechatter was strong during the warmup, one might say distracting, so we cut that short to get to lifting
THE THANG:
in each of four corners exercises were laid out for rounds 1, 2, and 3
Corner 1: goblet squat, rack squat, lunge
Corner 2: curls, tricep extension, skull crusher
Corner 3: American hammer, window wiper, flutter press
Corner 4: chest press, merkin, half Turkish getup

In the middle is the plyometric box. 5lb dumbells, and a 60lb sandbag

Split up into two teams. Go to a corner. The team does the exercise for the round they are on while their tribute runs to the middle to do one of three exercises for 10 reps. All teams continue their reps until every tribute has returned to their teams.
Tributes may do box jumps (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehWXqlCElEc on the box), or deadlifts. Count is 10.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Mens Shelter, 4th convergence, Barry
COT: circle of TRUST. Trust was requested, not a prayer chain, no trust was bestowed so the Q assumes everyone is in top form at home. End with a prayer according to the Q’s faith.
