Leave a comment

Celebrating the engagement the night before of Ms Swift and Mr Kelsey by running rings.

Pick your poison – munn>harris>trail to wep and run around that or hit old Kingsley for the familiar vibe of long term marriage.

I was just on a podcast last week. Host asked me to do a shout out for things I’m grateful for. My M and the men of F3 are the two top ones. Thankful to be able to lead.

– Calf raises
– Farmer Carry/Bear Crawl to next cone
2nd cone
– Bent over row
– Upright row
– Curl
– Overhead carry to next cone
3rd cone

Worked our way through a journey of exercises that moved your forward, backward, and back to the start.

Followed that up with cinderblocks Dora, we had a relay with cinderblocks, while the other teammates did, LBC, Calf Raises, Flutters, and Merkins.

Move to card sharks, where you went higher or lower than the card and did workouts according to what you drew.

Finally the kettlebell relay, where you did a lap with the KB and stopped for burpees

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

Leave a comment

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: The 5th Core Principle.
