2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!

Do You Suffer in Silence?

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– Moroccan Night clubs
– Low slow squats
– Imperial blocker

Gear up and head to amphitheater. Partner workout. All gear needs to get to the top of the amphitheater. Only one partner can carry at a time. Non-carrying partner must be completing exercises while partner is carrying. Once partner 1 gets to the top, he calls for his partner to bring something up the hill while he begins the exercises at the top. Once the second partner gets to the top, he begins to complete exercises while partner 1 heads back down to start empty handed. Then partner 1 calls for partner 2 to move, and he begins to exercise until he gets to remaining gear. Repeat.
Bottom exercises: goblet squat w/bell or block, calf raises w/gear
Top exercises: 2-hand upright row w/gear, calf raises w/gear
THE THANG:
Gear up and head to the parking lot in the back of the school for 4 corners. Drop gear in the center, but keep ruck on for all exercises. Every time you get to the center, complete 10 squats.

Take your bell-only to corner 1 and complete 10 U-Hauls, back to center, corner 2 bring bell and block and complete 10 alternating single-arm curls, back to center, corner 3 bring block-only and complete 10 lunge squats with block overhead, back to center, corner 4 bring bag-only and complete 5 man makers.

Repeat until it’s time to return to C.O.T.
MARY: Load blocks into truck

At top of hill, accumulate as many squats as you can until the 6 reaches top of hill. Careful descent down the hill.

Continue our mosey down the path to remaining park benches.

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.

Asking for help

Leave a comment

WARMUP: core-ish
THE THANG: lots of ground to cover
Mike Tyson—>bear crawls—>squats
Mike Tyson—>bear crawls—>split squat

Transit: Mosey—>Sprint—>walk

Muscle ups

Transit

Triple Check (group of 3):
-Sandbag over the shoulder x5
-Tammy Wynettes (one guy does Merkins, one guy matches him with squats)
Head back with the bags. Ask for help when you need it to rotate. (We lunge walked for quite some time, that sucked)

Found some pre-set blocks:
5 each
Manmaker
Squat Thruster
Cossack Squat
Head to COT

NMM:

How do you feel when other people ask you for help? It’s a good feeling and mostly you’re honored they came to you. So, why is it so hard for you to ask someone else for help when you need it?
