Honor CMPD’s Fallen

Police Officer Clark and Police Officer Jeffrey Shelton were shot and killed after responding to a disturbance call.

At approximately 11:30 pm, the two officers responded to a disturbance call in an east Charlotte housing complex on Barrington Drive. They had resolved the disturbance and were walking away when they engaged in a conversation with a man who had nothing to do with the call. As they turned to walk away from the man, he produced a gun and shot both officers in the back.

Both officers were transported to the Carolinas Medical Center where they died from their injuries.

The shooter fled the scene, but was later arrested and charged with two counts of first-degree murder. The suspect has five prior convictions for resisting arrest and assaulting a government official. On September 30, 2010, he was convicted of two counts of first degree murder and sentenced to life without the possibility of parole.

Split Q / Shovel Flag Handoff at the Coop

Lots of fun at the Coop on Wednesday. After a quick warm up which included 56 side straddle hops (representing 56 weeks of Punchlist’s leadership at the Coop) Punchlist delivered the first blow to the PAX.

Each Partner Wheelbarrows every other 10 yards for the length of the football field. At each 10 yard marker PAX performed that number of reps for each workout.

Endzone – Burpee Broad Jumps x 7
10 – Donkey Kicks
20 – Hand release Merkins
30 – Jump lunges
40 – Air Squats
50 – LBCs
40 – Air Squats
30 – Jump lunges
20 – Hand Release Merkins
10 – Donkey Kicks
Endzone – Burpee Broad Jumps X 7
Reverse Direction – All Together Now
Bear Crawls every 25 yards
15 Bomb Jacks at every 25 yard interval

2nd Round of Pain delivered by Kaiser

At the endzone performed a combination of exercises in cadence with the PAX
20 – Mock Tar Jays
20 seconds – Wide Arm Merkin – 6″ Hold Plank
10 – Burpees in cadence
5 sets of 10 push ups each
Run to the 50 yard line each set
Backpedal to the goal line each set

Group mozy over to the pull up bars. The bars were calling us and we answered. The pull up challenge was then initiated.

Started out with a group wall sit. Then 2 PAX would come off the line and challenge each other by doing 5 pull ups. Lots of mumble chatter erupted as each individual would get critiqued on their form. At the end of the workout New Site Q called out Old Site Q for a healthy & fun QVQ pull up contest. Group then ran back to COT to finish with very strong dose of Mary as the mumble chatter intensified.

Punchlist was honored for his leadership during the 56 weeks leading the COOP. He has truly been a strong leader to many including myself and I am honored to take the shovel flag from such a HIM!

7 Squared

So when i saw on Twitter that Spiderman needed a sub for his Q i said to myself, these fools will think this ole trail runner could never give them a proper ass whooping. It had been at least 6 months since i Q’d a bootcamp. Well i properly kicked my own ass with my Q and mumble chatter was kept to a minimum during the workout, except for Trucker who is always complaining and talking.

the Warmup   Mosey to football field for warmup

    • 19 Hill Billy Walkers
    • 9 Windmills
    • 9 Low Slow Squat-Hold 5 Seconds At Bottom
    • 19 Moroccan Nightclub

The Thang

Start on football field at 50 yard line on sideline. This was one of the 4 corners used for exercises. each exercise was in reps of 7. The other corners where each side of end zone and back to other side of the 50 yard line. After all exercises where done at each corner all reps went up 7 each new round. To get to each corner you moseyed from 50 yard line to end zone corner, then from there you Lt. Dan across entire end zone to other corner, mosey back to 50 yard line from that corner, then Bear Crawl across field to other sideline. Heres the exercises and the total amount done in parentheses.

  1. Burpees (28)
  2. Hand Release Merkins (56)
  3. CDD (84)
  4. Monkey Humpers (112)
  5. Flutter Kicks (140)

We did 250 yards of Lt. Dans and 250 yards of Bear Crawls

500 yards of moseying.

Finished with about 5 minutes left so i took pax back to COT and we did various leg stretches we had a lot of groaning from everyone.

Thanks to Spiderman for the Q and hope made Cyclops proud for his AO. I think this Trail Runner still has it and love having the Q!

Happy Valentine’s Day, Happy Birthday, Birdcage is Bad at Math…

Well, there were a few things we knew and one thing we learned on this cool Friday morning.  First, it was Valentine’s Day and many PAX were trying to get some last minute swollness.  Second, it was Birdcage’s birthday and even though it was his special day, he wanted to spend it leading HIM in a local high school parking lot.  Finally, we learned that Birdcage is not good at Maths.  The other thing that he struggles with is BackBlasts, but for now we will set that aside…

Upon arriving PAX were treated to a warm up which included the tried and tested, moseying, side straddle hops, windmills, etc.  The warmup may have included none of these, but it was so forgettable that I have already forgotten…

It was at this point that the PAX were introduced to some of the worst math of all time as Birdcage led all to a parking spot that would serve as the starting point for the morning’s supply of heavy lifting.  “We will do one tricep extension in the first spot, two in the second, three in the third, etcetera until we get to the end,” Birdcage said enthusiastically.  “Are you aware of exponentials and how many we will ultimately do,” asked many self interested PAX.  The mumble chatter would be strong with this group…

Omaha was called by parking spot 21…  That was how the morning progressed, and in all honesty, it was refreshing to see Birdcage get worn out by some strong mumble chatter and much weeping and gnashing of teeth.

In the end all were recipients of some solid face kicks and pain implementation before a jovial name o’ rama and an enthusiastic rendition of Happy Birthday…
