Awkward Movements

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Tempo Merkins, A little bit of Broga, calf raises

THE THANG:
Wanting to focus on improving mobility and core stability, I designed a weinke to challenge that.
– KB pendulum swings x 5 (in each direction)
– Deadlift to Squat motion x10
– Cross Chop x 10 (5 each side)
– KB Windmill x 10 (5 each side)
– One legged overhead press x10 each leg
– Plank Pull Throughs x 10 (5 each arm)
– Inchworm to frog jump across 2 parking spaces
– duck walk back
Repeat till time is up.
We got about 4-5 rounds in.

The deadlift to squat motion is where you bend over as if you’re doing a deadlift, keeping your back straight. Drop into the bottom of the squat position. Using your legs, drive straight up and NOT back into the bent over position.

10ish Rules for Life

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSHx10, MNCx10, Windmillsx10, off we went.

THE THANG: 10 stops with 6 exercises. Merkins, Big Boys, Squats, CDD’s, LBC’s, Jump Squats.
Starting at 10 each and each spot reduces the number by 1. Also, at each spot we shared 1 rule for life to succeed.
After we completed the stop at the count of six, the next stop we did six reps each again and escalated by one rep until we reached 10.

MARY: Joined by the BOSSmen after their SL workout. We always appreciate having them at FL.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: adopt a highway Saturday. Stuff da Bus. HIM Camp.

COT: Prayers for the spoken and unspoken.

Importance of Running Backwards

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Plank-updog-downdog-merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-shoulder taps; Plank-updog-downdog-peter parker; Plank-updog-downdog-plank jacks; Plank-updog-downdog-diamond merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-other variety of dynamic plank work and so on and so on
THE THANG: Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x10 — a little extra Mary mixed in.
Mosey to the apartments- complete dynamic warmup including hamstring sweeps, walking RDLs, deep lunge walks, toy soldiers, high knees, butt kicks; BACKWARDS sprints up the hill towards the fire station x4; Last sprint was a challenge- each pax had to surpass their previous stopping point before tagged by YHC, otherwise the group was subject to an unknown penalty (probably burpees)… no one will ever know because the threat of penalty motivated everyone to sprint backwards that much faster!
We discussed THE IMPORTANCE OF RUNNING BACKWARDS at COT. If you’re getting some miles in with your fellow pax and they’re dogging it for whatever reason, it’s important to be able to run backwards faster than they’re progressing forwards, look them in the eyes, and say whatever motivating (or demeaning) statement to give them a kind gut check! SkateOrDie knows this too well from YHC.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres tonight!
COT: Beaker’s son turns 4 today. Prayers for physical and mental illness among the pax. Prayers/praise for Halfshell’s boys heading to camp.

KABOOM at Colosseum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer only
THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!
