AKA#4 Day 9 – Accumulator Day

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey with some SSH, Merkins, squats, etc
THE THANG: Accumulator! Parking lot burpee accumulator…Burp bear crawl, burps+1, then lunge walk, burp +2, bear crawl, you get the jist. End up on other side of parking lot, 10 Muscle ups on the brick wall. Mosey to front of school, 15 derkins and 25 dips. Mosey down a bit to the columns. Squat Accumulator. Each column squat and add one. 14 columns = lots of squats. Mosey to hill. Run to cone 2 merkins, back to start 1 burpee, 1st cone 2 merkins, 2nd cone 4 merkins, back down to 1st cone, 2 merkins, to start add a burpee. There were five cones = Lots of Merkins

Infinity’s Custom Cinder Box Nap House Irate Patron Power Station Dates

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Tap, MC, Peter Parker’s, yoga

THE THANG: Mosey around and hit some BLIMPS
5 burpees
10 lunges
15 Imperial Walkers
20 Merkins
25 Plank Jacks
30 Squats (sometimes Bulgarian Split Squats when we found picnic tables)

MARY: a bit of core interspersed, but not much. Quack Attack would not have approved

NMM: every PAX shared their biggest work failures. Grateful to hear how successful men have messed up. Even the “goo” culture shares our successes, but sharing our failures keeps us from feeling so alone when we screw up. Thanks to everyone for their vulnerability. As IJ said in COT, a failure is just a waypoint to someplace better. Let’s stay after it.

Had these legs all my life

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, IW, HW, yoga, mosey
Humane Burpee – look it up

THE THANG:
Farmers Carry towards the school courtyard
Stop a few times along the way for 5 of each
Goblet Squat
Squat and Press (each side)
Good Morning
Single Leg Deadlift (each side)

Got to the courtyard. Bearcrawl with the bell stopping for one manmaker at each light

At the end, built up into a kettlebell flow with each arm;
Swing
Clean
Squat
Snatch
as we left we added an overhead lunge at the end.

Mixed and match how many times we did each side
MARY: one moment of core, but there was so much mumblechatter and very little work. So, we agreed to do four burpee snatches instead.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter
COT: prayers for marriage, parents, travel, our nation

NMM: not sure why, but I need deadlines to get some things accomplished in my life. Set a deadline on when you’ll go on your next date with your M, or when you’ll do something with just you and your kiddos. Be proactive about it. I know I have to; otherwise it is relegated to a “someday” activity.

A privilege to lead

Q-School Session 2

Leave a comment

For Q-School, we focused on a solid warmup in cadence.
Had the newer PAX build some reps.

Also worked to push the PAX a bit with a DORA, and then some Pearls on a String. Small discussion of how these workouts function and how to describe them before executing them. Focused mainly on basic exercises, there’s no need to do a 12-count exercise before you can count imperial walkers.

Exercises we stuck around:
Merkin
Squat (& low slow variety)
Imperial Walker
Side Straddle Hop
Burpee

Some discussion of in-cadence vs. single count. We had the PAX work on cadence count again once they were winded after running the Bus Route Hill.

I encourage PAX to review the Q101 document https://docs.google.com/document/d/1zFiVyspf1Xph6GIv-r-z5brONWUzhEYrBvXzbnKfdBc/edit?usp=sharing and the Fort’s Workout Q Handbook https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1TSlzhBPmkrGp3_kI7qA-UpI57tSVzo_mdyKpqXAJQ4k/mobilebasic

Remember to observe the PAX, ask the Site Q to cover the 6, take command, and to HAVE FUN. It’s a free workout group! Yes, we are strivign to be better, but put some personality and joyfulness into your Qs!

…AND THATS HOW HISTORY IS MADE

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
History was made today as YHC made his VQ at The Armory. I’m happy that after 9 years someone finally noticed me. All it took was getting up at 3 am to make the drive across the bridge to the “other side” of Fort Mill.

We didn’t do a disclaimer because only professionals showed up.

Warm up was an Indian Run in a slowish pace around the parking lot. Battlebot decided to snake us a bit but we made it back. 5 Windmills and about 10 Polish night clubs.

THE THANG:

After much discussion on the properness of the name, we did a Jack Web because I said so. Although others were determined it should have been called 11s. Luckily, I didn’t fold under the pressure and called it what I wanted. We started with 1 press and walked across the lot for 10 curls. Now normally you would assume we then did 2 presses and 9 curls…. but somewhere in YHC’s Coors Light daze the numbers didn’t add up. We pretty much did 10 of each exercise on both sides of the parking lot. I wish I could say it was a test to see who was paying attention, but that would just be a lie.

Next, we again debated the name of the exercise group. I said accumulator, some said Dora, others said Misogi….look I don’t care what yall call stuff, just do the exercises. We partnered up with 1 person doing the call out while the other ran across the lot and back. Each time the partner ran they had to add 1 merkin. I think by the end we were around 14-16 merkins each time we ran. Call out was 300 swings, 200 tri extension, and 50 man makers.

Closed with good news about Band Camps youth trip and prayers over the P200 runners

….Hope your happy 3D and thanks for the invite Battle Bot
