YHC gave the Disclaimer and also Noted last time I Q’ed a KB workout everyone hurt for at least a week.
WARM UP:
We started off with
15 – imperial walkers
15 – wind mills
Slowlesy to the larger parking lot where the board was set up along with some music
Explained this is OYO not a group effort as they looks on the pax did not look amused by the number of reps.
THE THANG:
Also on every minute on the minute 3 KB man makers.
After the first 2 rounds I Omahaed that to every 2 minutes as it took about 30sec to get done and few seconds to gain your composure back.
50 KB Thrusters
75 KB Stright Arm overhead Ground Taps (this is done on your six with the KB straight above your chest. You then proceed to lower the weight over your head till it touches the ground. This works you lats like a lat pull down in the gym)
100 KB Curls
125 KB Swings ( this is definitely a full body exercise)
150 KB Halo’s smoke those shoulders
175 KB Squats
Due to time we Riffle Carried to the opposite end of the parking lot then found our way back to COT.
There was a lot more intended but due to the stupid time constraints we only made it this far.
Planked it up for the 6.
Hope I lived up to the Hives expectations and my KB reputation.

Alot of health concerns with families getting sick, elderly parents sick and in well. It’s always hard around the holidays when we find ourselves in a house hold with sickness

BEFORE HAND: I ran out of the house to find my windshield completely frozen. I mean should I have expected when it’s 27° out. I tried to knock the ice off but with that I only made it to the stop sign at the end of Rd. As I started sweating bullets thinking I was going to be late just get my windshield clear so I can view the road. I made it with time to spare.
I proceeded to get out of the vehicle trying to get used to the bitter cold. Upon circling up we got a good amount of Pax which always ends up making for a great time.

28 Burpees
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby
28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby
28 Burpees

Whenever you finished you went and picked up the 6.
After this we mosey’d back to COT with a few minutes to spare
Led a round of Mary..
22 Flutters IC
22 HD IC
22 FM IC
Pusher quickly picked up on why the rep count for this last portion of the exercise. The point was made that our gratitude for our veterans should be equaled by our concern for their mental health and a desire to help them in any way we can.
COT was another great example of why we all joined F3 and still come back. What was said, stays there but it was a lot of what I needed to hear that day.
Men I’m extremely thankful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans (my Father and Brother in law among others…)
Hope the example of service and sacrifice continues to inspire and push us all to be better leaders in our communities and lives.
Take care,
