“No Mercy” Monday @ STL

Leave a comment

WARMUP: NONE
THE THANG:
19 men took off at quickly for No Mercy Monday. After a quick mosey to South State Bank, we fired up the legs with 5 Bonnie Blairs to get loose.

From there, we charged down Dave Gibson Blvd to the bottom under the light pole — 5 Jump Squats at the base — then sprinted back up that glorious hill of pain. At the top, we pushed toward the school where, under the next light post, we knocked out 5 Apollo Onos before turning around and heading back for more.

Rinse and repeat. Several rounds. Just under 5 miles of pure burn, grind, and grit.

Bones and Farmers Only quietly crushed it, while Sasquatch somehow wasn’t even breaking a sweat while he led the pack and completed each excercise with amazing form.

Legs smoked. Lungs torched. Mission accomplished.

Quote of the Day:

Don’t Carry Your Burdens Alone

Leave a comment

Theme: How are you carrying your burdens?

Think about these things:

How the weight of your burdens feels as you physically move around.

How hard would it be to carry multiple burdens at a time?

How hard would it be to carry these burdens alone?

How does it feel to lay your burdens down?

Carry the Burden

Brick never leaves you. Hold it in one hand, carry to chest, overhead, do push ups on it, etc.

Thang

4 stations around Veterans Park/Main Street. 2 exercises at each station. 10 reps each.

Station 1 – Veterans Park
American Hammer and LBCs

Station 2 – Hobos
Merkins and Curls

Station 3 – Top of Main
Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Station 4 – FM Pharmacy
OH Press and Shoulder Raises

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7

A burden shared is a burden halved.

The weight you carry today builds the strength you’ll need tomorrow.

Don’t Get It Caught in The Zipper

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Run up to old hot dog place parking lot corner of Main and Clebourne, plank then wait for the group to explain the thing.

THE THANG:
THE ZIPPER
– Ran to end of Springs St to Summersby, then took a right to corner of Unity and Lockman. That was the start, or hoped it to be.
– For every road we headed west on (from Unity St, ending at Pine St), we did 10 squats, 10 merkins.
– For every road we headed EAST on (from Pine St, ending at Unity), we did 10 mountain climbers (double count) and 10 bombjacks.
– Whenever we crossed Springs St, we did a burpee.
– Proceeded street to street until we got back to Main and Tom Hall.

This was the plan, but evidently I did not communicate it clearly enough. Even so, PAX figured it out and got all the miles and pain stations in.

Guys were REALLY moving today, we all put in at least 3.5-3.75 miles, yet still got back to COT in time to do some Mary
Flutters
American Hammers
Hello Dollies
More
Next time I will add more pain stations.

Thanks self for the opportunity to lead.
