Orange is the new NC State Red

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats

Impreza blokowa

We did some work. Run around WEP, performed bunch of merkins, squats, big boy sit ups and dips on every marker in the park. On the parking lot behind the amphitheater came time for  Dora with more squats lunges  and other fun stuff I don’t remember:) I remember bear crawls with merkins on every parking line, though. Then I run out of ideas so “Mary” helped a lot. Bobber asked for some burpees and wall sits on our way to the COT, I could not say no ! Ended up in the parking lot with 3660 steps made by 6 am:)
Sorry for a late entry, thank you forcing me to write it:)

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.

Jack Webb from hell – remix

WARMUP: a little upward & downward dog, some low slow squats and single count merkins

THE THANG: moseyed over to WEP.  Starting at the first bench swing the PAX did 1 burpee and 4 merkins, ran to the next swing did 2 and 8, ran back to the first swing and then went to the 3rd swing did 3 & 12, then to the 2nd swing and up to the 4th bench swing, did 4 & 16 and so on until we got to 10 and 40.  
Since we still had some time left, YHC didn’t want to waste any time so we moseyed over to the playground and did a dead hang for a 10- count, 10 low slow squats, 5 pull ups and then 10 more squats.  With 4 minutes left we headed back to COT.  Arrived at 0600.
MARY: none

20 high knees
20 flutters
20 diamond merkins

Today’s lesson is: begin with the end in mind. We began with hill sprints, and ended with hill sprints to drive the lesson home.

The end of the workout when you are tired is where the real growth happens. We got some today.
