This is moderate, right?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: run, shuffle, toy soldier, high knee, butt kicker, bear crawls, low slow squats, merkins, mountain climbers
THE THANG: run to the back parking lot and go to the middle by the basketball hoops.

I tell the guys this workout is from a moderate workout back in June 2020…which I don’t think I treated it as moderate back then.

Point out 4 corners about 40 yards from the center. At each corner, start with 5, then come to middle for 1 burpee, then to the next corner for 5, back to center for 1, until you hit all corners and center. Then go up to 10 at each corner and back to center for 2 burpees…and so on. Do this increase of 5 at corners and then keep adding burpees until 25 at the corners and 5 burpees in the center.

4 corners were: ranger merkins, knee jumps, American hammers, CDD.

It was a crowd pleaser and took pretty much the full time. We picked up the 6 so some guys got some bonus which was nice and we did the last round of 25s and 5 burpees as a group.

Preparedness at the Coaches Box

Leave a comment

Weather was 32 degrees and chilly but the lights were on and YHC was prepped for a Q to discuss Jester and Preparedness

Simply defined, the Jester is temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is a stumbling block that a man continuously trips over in his effort to become a Pro.

The Jester tells a man several lies including:

1. You are the boss of me
2. You are what you do
3. You are not a bad guy
4. Jester and Virtue can coexist
5. You can’t live, if living is without me

But the antidote to the Jester is preparedness, preparing for what is expected and what is unexpected. The addition of love to this preparation leads to diminishing the Jester. But it is a battle that a Man must fight throughout his life.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the front of FMHS

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Short Mosey to parking lot near entrance
SSH – 1 Burpee
Low slow squat – 2 burpees
Windmill- 3 burpees
Maraca nightclub – 4 burpees

Too much mumblechatter so we went to the hill for quadzilla

Run down the hill and run backwards 7 times and do 7 LBCs at the top, decrease LBCs by 1 each time up.

Moved over to front of elementary school by flags for some bear crawl. Line up along the curb facing flag. Crawl to the other side and do 1 merkin, then reverse bear crawl back and do 1 merkin. Repeat 5 times.

Knocked out a few minutes of a work with the protractor. Then had enough time for one round of Dirty Myrtle and Mike Tyson’s (great combo)

Made our way back to COT.

Last but not least was the Airborne special hip exercises.
