Leave a comment

Beautiful day in the Gloom. Always look forward to Q. Great turnout at the sink for my madness with a timer.

Warmup:

SSH x 15
Seal Jack x 15
Plank Jack x15
Mountain Climber x 15

Pick up something heavy get to the field

All Pax line up facing a series of cones. All Pax have to do the following with their Block or Sandbag

50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press
100 Squats
25 Man makers

Every minute on the minute they will hear a beep. When you hear the beep you move to a cone.
Mode of Transportation between cone 1 and 2 is Overhead carry. Mode of Transportation of cones 2 and 3 are murder bunny or Bag toss.
Wash rinse repeat until all reps are done.
There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!

Don’t need a lot of ground to cover

Form matters and our space is limited. Let’s get to work.
WARMUP: A short jog with some butt-kickers & side shuffles.
THE THANG: Grab the (2) 60lb sand bags and introduce them to our kettle bells.
One PAX would farmer carry the two sand bags (leaving his bell behind) and travers roughly 40yds total while the other PAX completed an exercise. Everyone got 2rds on the bags while the following exercises were completed.
Thrusters, OH Press (L), OH Press (R), Simbas, Curls, OH Tricep Extensions, Flutters w/ Press, Bent Over Rows, Dead Lifts, Standing Lunge (Left leg in front), Standing Lunge (Right leg in front).
Ditch the bags and overhead carry the bells to the front of the stadium. Form 2 lines facing each other.
Focus on form and identify the man across from you. He was your competition and your accountability.
Perform real squats until one of you take a break then we do 5 Man Makers
Repeat this evolution but doing overhead presses then 5 thrusters when failure occurs.
Very interesting to realize when these are the parameters, you’re apt to work much harder. Nobody wants to quit on someone else.
Shuffle with your bell over to the circle and form 2 columns (formation) facing me. Very reminiscent of the way Santini used to line us up.
20 KB Swings then a 20 second hold with the KB out front.
20 Low Squat pulses (yes, you Redwoods remember these) then a 20 second low squat hold (keep your chest up)
20 Flutters w/ Press and a 20 second Canoe hold
Shuffle up the hill to the maintenance entrance, do some more work.
Down to the gate for more work. Back to COT for more work.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: Indeed. Stays in COT.
