Clydesdales went everwhere

Leave a comment

Nice crowd today due to the anticipation of what the Q had to say.

Set the route, and about 5 out of the 20 something took it. Others went wherever they wanted.

Two things mentioned in COT: First- AirPods…Grab the case in the AM and see that the buds aren’t in there. Realize you left them in your workout shorts the day before that have been washed and dried. Release every angry foul word in your vocab as you search for them. Find them in the bottom of the dryer in a rage. Put them in the case. Light goes on. They work. Sorry to our Lord and Savior for the rage. Second: Get life insurance if you don’t have it.

Lots of announcements! Including please sign up for Care Center Lawn mowing. And bring/purchase supplies for stuff the bus.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Probably. No one remembers.
THE THANG: A few rounds of 11s, 7s, and other nonsense.
The REAL nonsense, though, came in the form of setting things right in the naming department. Sadly, in only 45 minutes, I couldn’t get to everyone, but I will tell you the ones I DID get to…
– is now Kerrigan
– is now Insertion Point
– is now Father Time
– is now Mama’s Boy
– is now French Tip
– is now Tickle Me Ebenezer
– is now Agent My Pleasure
– is now Dumpster Juice
– is now Dumpster Juice II: The Revenge of Dumpster Juice
– is now Stateline Vapes
– is now Gender Confusion
– is now Backward Flush/Dude Wipes
– is now Dementia
– is now Halfway
– is now White Boots, and
– is now Twin Peaks

For more on WHY these Pax got new names, you’ll have to ask them, because I only vaguely remember…

This is why you shouldn’t miss when YHC is the Q. NOTHING but good times.

MARY: No chicks
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: The 5th Core Principle.

2024.28 Armory

Leave a comment

Standard warmup…

One of my favorite KB formats is the 3x3x3: 3 rounds of 3 sets of 3 exercises. But to mix it up, 2 sets from the current followed by 1 set of the previous, so A-A, then B-B-A, then C-C-B… I think this allows a little longer recover before heading into the 3rd set which helps you to push harder. I’m going to tell myself that, cause I am still in pain two days later.

Set A:
Clean into a 1 arm thruster x10 (5 EA)
Front raise x10
Single-leg dead lift x10 (5 EL)

Set B:
Bent row x10EA
Tricep Extension x10
Squat x20

Set C:
One-arm swings x10EA
Overhead Press x10EA
Racked split squat x10 each side

Between rounds cooldown lap ending in a 20yd bear crawl to spike the heart rate to get ready for the next round.

This was a tough one. I’m pretty sure Band Camp thought I was making it all up, cause I don’t have to put Sharpie on my forearm… Welcome FNG Splash Pad! Hopefully there was enough fun in there to offset the splashing / dry heaving…
