Ironclad for the Win

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, LSS, Moroccan Nightclubs, downward dog/honeymooners
THE THANG: my son Ironclad (11) has been posting at the Yard and was very eager to help create the winky.  He wrote out the exercises so this is a workout an 11 year old can do 😉

5 reps of Merkins, Derkins, Diamond Merkins, Parker Peters.  Run half way around the loop and complete another set of 5 reps of each exercise.
Rinse and repeat but increase the rep count to 10 of each exercise.

Mosey to the back of the school for some wall work. Balls to the Wall. Every man does a 10 count (hold position for 90 seconds). Recovery is a wall sit for 90 seconds. Rinse and repeat!

Mosey to the next station:  
Round 1: 20 SSH, 20 Flutters, 40 squats, 40 shoulder taps (double count), 30 Carolina Dry Docks – run a lap around the parking lot
Round 2: 20 Xs & Os, 15 Big Boys, 20 LBCs, 15 Flutters, 10 Diamond merkins

Mosey to the pull up bars:
Split in 2 groups. 1st group completes 10 pull ups. 2nd group completes 10 knees to chest using the swing sets. Flapjack and complete 2 rounds

Mosey back to COT for 2mins of Mary to finish.

Introducing the Office

WARMUP: disclaimer
THE THANG: took a tour around the outer perimeter of the Manliest AO in the Fort. We stopped at what is now referred to as “The Office” where each man did a weighted pullup while another man stabilized the pull up station by holding a dip. After each man did their rep @Flounder decided to show us all up with preforming 3 weighted pull ups at the ripe old age of 76. We made one last lap around the VA and made it to the base of the hill by cycle bar where we took turns calling squats while passing a baby sandbag around the circle. Introduced the hillbilly squat: a deep squat followed by two hillbilly walkers. Then sprint up the hill to COT.
MARY: we did a few flutters
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Journey groups will be forming soon. If interested contact me
COT: prayers for schools, parents dealing with teens, marriages, work stress, and patience with in-laws.

10 Year Convergence

Ten year celebration came to a close this morning with a convergence at WEP. 12 men came earlier for a run to support Operation Sweet Tooth. 84 men attended the main event with three great HIM leading the workout: CSPAN, Maximum, and WWL. No warm-ups this morning. CSPAN took his group around the block with various stops along the way. Seven reps of Flying Squirrels, Merkins, and Sit-ups. WWL had playtime at the playground. Burpees and Pull-ups along with running fast around the playground. Did I mention Power Skips? Maximum had a simple plan. Run backwards up the hill many times and destroy your abs with American Hammers.
We closed the chapter on the first 10 years.
Monday begin the next.
The future is bright.
How will you contribute to the next 10 years?
Make an impact.
