Zipper takes no mercy

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None!

THE THANG: Zipper: 3.2-3.8 miles of neighborhood hate. 10 merkins and 10 squats at every cross street between Spring and Unity. If the reps dont kill you the hills will. Always a #crowdpleaser and you are better (albeit #smoked) after.

MacGuyver was the #King today- no surprise. B.O.B was up there and Grout was in top 3 or 5? #triplehate Bash Brothers: State Farm and Jackalope came back to swim at the pond for the second week in a row. Also great to see their dads. Keep your eye on Cousin Eddie. He’s rising fast!

MARY: Dont understand

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brew Ruck tonight, Final Countdown
CSAUP 9/10

COT: Praise and Prayers for State Farm and Jackalope who will be making their way to the Citadel in a few weeks. Prayers for marriages, our children.

Leave a comment

Warmup: 50 SSH IC

Mosey up “the hill” all the way to Harris Street stopping roughly .2 miles for 12 Merkins IC
Run down Harris to a Church Parking Lot for another 12 IC Merkins
Took a Right down a street towards WEP. Stopped in Pike Parking Lot for 12 More Merkins IC
Stopped at the corner by 160 for 12 More Merkins IC
Circled back to the Parking Lot by the band stand for 12 More Merkins IC

At the Parking Lot we did a 2 minute Drill. Every 2 minutes a timer would go off and we would have to run up to the smaller parking lot by the road. Throughout the routine the PAX
would execute : 40 Burpees, 80 Squats, 120 4-CT Flutters. (the flutters were a real crowd pleaser)

Finished up there at around 5:48 which meant a nice mosey back towards COT stopping along the way to do 10 HR Merkins at each stop sign. We did 10 more at COT to get us to 150 Merkins for the day

Once we got back to COT we had time for a short AB filled Tabata 45 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. Exercises were:
LBCS
Hello Dolly’s
Hammers
Big Boy Sit-ups
Plank
Burpees.

Took us right to 6:00

Prayers for safe travels, health, and hope for work challenges.

Thanks to all who came out!

Until next time….

Tabata Combos

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moseyed out of the parking lot towards the hill behind the school. As we moseyed down the hill to the pull-up bar area we performed buttkickers, high knees, and karaoke x 2. Once we arrived at the pull-up bar area we performed Windmills x7, Tappy Taps x 10, MNC x 12, and SSH x 21 all in cadence.
THE THANG: Tabata format wo, 30 sec of exercise followed by 10 sec of rest. A round included 3 different exercises. Complete 2 sets of each exercise and then move to the next one. Once 2 sets of the 3rd exercise is completed run through the 3 exercises again but only 1 set of each. Target is 4 1/2 minutes of exercise with 1 1/2 minutes of rest per round.

1st Tabata Rnd:
Mountain Climbers ( 1 rep each leg ) into a Merkin Alt. Single Leg V-Up ( 1 rep each side ) into a Full V-Up
Alt. Side Lunges ( 1 rep each side ) into a Ski Squat Jump ( legs are close together )

In between Tabata rounds we strolled over to the pull-up bars.
1st pull-up bar routine: 5 reps of 1/2 pull ups ( only completing half the rep pulling up ), followed by 5 reps of 1/2 pull ups ( only completing half the rep coming down from apex ), followed by 5 full pull ups. Completed 2 rounds.

2nd Tabata Rnd:
Inch Worm Merkins
Alt. Freddy Ms into a full body crunch ( keep legs at 6 inches, complete Freddy M on each side and when body is fully extended go into a full body crunch bringing knees to chest and trying to touch your toes )
Alt. Backward Lunges into a Jump Squat

2nd Pull up bar routine: Pax that were waiting their turn gave the Pax on the bars 10 counts. PAX on the bars had to hold 3 different positions for a 10 count. 1st hold was chin above bar for a 10 count, 2nd hold was half way down for a 10 count, and 3rd hold was a dead hang. Completed 2 rounds.

3rd Tabata Rnd:
Apollo Onos x 3 into a Single Leg Burpee ( the Apollo’s are on a 3 count so you switch legs for the single leg burpees )
Broad Jump to Burpee followed by 2 SSH moving backwards ( gets you back to starting position from the broad jump )
Ski Abs ( 1 rep each side ) into a Plank Jack

Ran out of time so the fellas missed the final pull up bar round. Moseyed back to COT.

MARY: None needed
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter on 8/4, CSAUP- The Final Countdown
COT: Lifted up marriages, health, and safe travels for traveling PAX.

Diabeetus

Leave a comment

WARMUP: First, we warmed up.
THE THANG: Then we did a lot of kettlebell stuff and ran a little.
MOSTLY, we listened to what might have been the worst playlist ever conceived. From the marginally incestuous Osmonds, to the Killers, to what was probably the biggest surprise which was Wilford Freaking Brimley. The diabeetus commercial guy you say? Yes. Beloved actor who starred in the 1985 hit movie Cocoon? Yes. He’s a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Well, he was when he was alive, yes… but please tell me THAT isn’t the thing that you find most surprising. He has albums. Of music. Where he sings. Doesn’t that shake you a little more to your core? I mean… even just a little? And to add insult to injury (and trust me, his singing was injurious), there’s not a single freaking song on his album about DIABETES TESTING SUPPLIES. Seriously, lean into your strengths, Wilford. WTF? You know diabetes supplies like no other… and yet you choose to sing about someone’s silver-haired daddy…? I’m not sure what to think anymore… I’m not sure this world was meant for me…
MARY: Once again, girls aren’t allowed. Core Principle #2.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: Core Principle #5

Respect Bday Q

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to Q minnow pond on my actual 50th (RESPECT) birthday. since the theme is 50, the route was a loop with 5 pain stations with 3 exercises of 10reps (to equal 50 reps per exercise and lap). Goal was 5 laps for the gazelles.

The stations were at Main/Tom Hall, Tom Hall/Withers, Withers/Confederate, Withers/Watson, and Railroad/Main.

Unfortunately I scheduled skin cancer surgery 2 days prior without thinking about the implications. Doctor requested I not exercise for 2 weeks but I couldn’t resist. Reason why I mention this is as a Public Service Announcement: use sun screen all year long and always reapply daily to avoid skin cancer.
