Leave a comment

WARMUP:

yes….SSH for the stragglers to start, then a few of the standards: IW, Burpees, Shoulder Tap, Yoga, Slingshot, Halos, slight moseys, windmills with the bell low and high (not a crowd pleaser)
THE THANG:
Dan John’s Humane Burppee – look it up. It’s good stuff
Series of 5 reps with some moseys occasionally
– Cleans
– Racked Reverse Lunge
– Single Leg Deadlift
– Racked Bulgarian Split Squat
– Single Arm overhead press

The fun bit was a table of Dixie water cups set up. We did Turkish Getups with the water cups in our hands. Then Turkish Getups with the water cup resting on our knuckles. Good times. A few guys got wet; all of us were challenged

Finished with burpee snatches and pigeon lunge

Leave a comment

WARMUP: N/A
THE THANG: Curls, Rows, overhead press, tricep extensions in exercise per row the last number of the parking spot was the reps. Finished the parking lot then took a lap for the 2nd half in which we made it around 1/4 of the way through. Thanks for the opportunity, was a great group of guys for my kettlebell VQ.

Tax Man Cometh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

The Final Countdown

Leave a comment

The day finally arrived for our CSAUP, The FInal Countdown. The rainy weather was not ideal, but it helped keep the temperature and humidity down for ideal running conditions. 67 men participated in the event. Most groups participated in the relay. Ruckers and trail runners fought the elements and got their work done to.
Relay details:   The first Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point.  The 1st and 2nd Pax will run 3 miles and return to the starting point. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runner will run the final 3 miles.  Each route will be unique.  If you get lost, just run 3 miles and return back to the park.

Total miles:  3+3+3 = 10 F3 math   (Runner 1 – 9 miles, Runner 2 – 6 miles, Runner 3 – 3 miles)

Inspiring stuff this morning. River Rat’s 2.0s ran the course like it was a lap around the track. Lots of guys ran distances they have never run before.
We’ve got a good pool of runners for the upcoming Dam to Dam Relay.

Great job by everyone this morning!

THE THANG:
sprint up the big hill

Mozey on the trail to Harris Street Park w/pain stations:
20 high knees
20 flutters
20 diamond merkins
20 overhead claps
20 jump squats
20 bomb jacks
Some would call this trail “off road” including YHC, but there were some other, wronger opinions expressed by some in the group

at Harris Street Park
Basketball court:
Burpee broad jumps down and back

Benches:
10 each leg Bulgarian split squats
20 dips

Rinse, repeat, and roll back up the trail of pain to COT…
…But wait, we made one last stop at the big hill.

Today’s lesson is: begin with the end in mind. We began with hill sprints, and ended with hill sprints to drive the lesson home.

The end of the workout when you are tired is where the real growth happens. We got some today.
