Baker Mayfield is not Pence

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH, merkins, squats, Broga

THE THANG:
Untraditional 11s. At first I wanted to go all the way through from 10 to 1, but YHC quickly realized I wouldn’t be able to make it so I modified as needed. We worked through the first two exercises from 10 down to 8, then flipped to the next two exercises. Then flip back down for 7-5, then flipped back. Last set was 4 to 1.

We got through two sets of exercises before time ran out.

Merkins alternating hand on bell
Chest press

Second set
Squats
Set ups (each leg as 1)

Next round
Curls
Single arm row (each side)

Swings
Nut cracker

Solid workout and 0 running. According to my watch I burned 600 calories.

MARY:
No time left
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Ladders of fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
The usual, SSH, Moroccan night clubs, lots of arm circles, low slow squats
THE THANG:
Disclaimer… Tabatha: every time the alarm went off… 10 Carolina dry docks every two minutes, 10 squats 30 seconds after that
Evolution: toss your sandbag to light pole towards car pool line, carry it no next one following the street, toss, carry… and then we found a ladder… loaded up the ladder with sandbags, one pax will carry sandbag while the other 6 went under weight carrying the ladder on their shoulders, remember Tabatha? Well, every time alarm went off, ladder is grounded, dry docks and squats are performed, rotate pax on sandbag, keep moving… movement was dictated by Tabatha… back to start point, 5 minutes of broga… while at it… yes, alarm went off again… just a few more CDD and squats.

MARY: broga

COT:
Prayers for our kids and those with health issues,

Soul to Sole and BBQ

Leave a comment

This AO is designed to enjoy fellowship and get some rucking miles. Pax are encouraged to have conversations with each other throughout the workout creating the glue of F3.

With that being said I decided we would stay within the confines of Kingsley and explore all the hills it has to offer. The one surprise was that we would walk up all hills backwards.

We cover 3 miles and probably close to half was backwards.
