Alcatraz OG’s

Leave a comment

Warmup with a short mosey, windmills, imperial walkers, merkins, plank stretches, and then off to the hill.

Modified Dora: using the top half of the hill.

  • Half the group does big boy sit-ups, half the group runs a lap. Flip flop.
  • Round 2:  Flutters for two laps.  Flip flop.
  • Round 3: LBC’s for three laps.  Flip flop.

A few rounds of step ups on the backstop benches, with a set of dips and a set of decline merkins.

Over to the wall where we had the opportunity to sit against the wall while taking turns critiquing both technique and form during individual bear crawls.

Q swap, and Jekyll took us straight to the Wheel-o-pain.  Credit and respect to Funhouse!
Everyone completed at least two full rounds of the wheel performing exercises at each spoke, lunge or bear crawls to the hub,  for 5 burpees and mosey tot he next spoke.  #brutal.

Thanks @Masterpiece for the opportunity to lead.

Praise for all of our blessings, including this community of men. Prayers for marriages, those sick, injured, or struggling, and those supporting them.

Cards at WEP

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Stretchy things
THE THANG: Lap around park stopping at swings alternating between 20 merkins and 20 squats. Mosey over to lot in front of old springs building. 17 bombjacks, 17 plankjacks,and 17 v-ups. Take a lap. Repeat with 15s then again with 13s. One additional round of 17 dips, 17 calf raises, and 17 flutters them mosey back to amphitheater. Simple in between card game. Start with a pot of exercises (laps, burpees, merkins, squats, lbcs). Flip 2 cards and PAX wager if next card is between the values. If next card is inbetween, then group does wagered exercises and pot is reduced. If card is outside, group does wager but pot grows. Intention was to do everything left in the pot when cards were done but I overestimated both number of reps and basic card math of PAX. I’ll try this again but I learned I need to make some adjustments.

Pardon the Interruption

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some movements at the green at amphitheatre
THE THANG:
10 burpees, pax run in any direction for 10 secs and return home
10 burpees, repeat run in same direction for 15 secs, return home
10 burpees, run same direction for 20 secs, return home

Starting with youngest pax (Tarzan) each pax took the group to his end point where pax did various exercises

Stop 1 = legs + burpees
Stop 2 = chest+ burpees
Stop 3 = core + burpees
Stop 4 = ground movements+ burpees
Stop 5 = burpees

Return home

Disruption was the theme today where pax didn’t know where we were going , what exercises we were doing, what reps we were counting. There were odd numbers and interrupted sequences and patterns.

We’re human, we want patterns, we want control. Sometimes life just won’t cooperate with our desires or minds. Today was proe for those times.

Thanks for the push and the perseverance. Great job, brothers!

MARY: included in the Thang
ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, bethel, shovel Flag handoff Tue
