PAX on a String

Leave a comment

We had 9 Him (3 Runners and 7 Bootcampers) at The Fort this morning for PAX on a string! What is PAX on a string you may ask? 🤔🤯 Let’s find out.

Warmup

20 Side Straddle Hops
10 Cherry Pickers
10 Windmills 
10 Little Arm Circles
10 Merkins 
Down Dog/Honeymooners 
10 Dying Cockroaches 

The Thang

PAX on a String – I happen to have a battle rope in my car like I am sure most people do 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♀️, so the idea was to keep the PAX together and engaged. Everywhere we moseyed we all had to carry the battle rope together. First stop was the Church about a half mile down the road.

Once we got to the church we setup the battle rope where each PAX got a chance to use the rope. The timer was the rest of the group running stairs. Every 3 sets of the stairs, one the PAX would rotate to the rope. After everyone got a shot at the ropes we switched to dragon walking up the stairs same rotating fashion with the rope. 

We moseyed about another half mile down the road to the next church, PAX on a String style, for a little Dora action.

Partner 1
100 Merkins 
200 Squats 
300 V-Ups

Partner 2 
Run around the playground 

Each time you finished an exercise we did a battle rope partner pull across the parking lot hill.

Half way through the V-Ups we moseyed another half mile towards one of the Pike parking lots, PAX on a String style of course, to finish up the V-Ups.

We headed back to COT for some Mary and announcements/prayer/praises.

4 Men and a Robotic Bird

Leave a comment

It was a muggy morning in The Fort, as 4 HIM decided to get up 15 minutes earlier than all of the land of milk🥛 and honey 🍯 and accelerate.

We rucked over near Dolce Lusso in Kingsley for some highlights and some stair work. The exercises was crazy eights which ended up being crazy nines. It was 8 Merkins at the bottom of the stairs, then we rucked two flights of stairs and did 1 Overhead Press on the other side of the stairwell. There was a total of 1.5 miles in stair work and a plethora of Merkins and Overhead Presses.

We then rucked around the Kingley loop to cap off the workout.

Back to COT for prayers and praises. 🙏🙏

Examining Parking Lots

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
7 PAX did the hard thing on this humid Friday morning and arrived at the Swamp ready to work. 1 new face pulled in with a huge smile on his face.

Disclaimer was given for new PAX and we moseyed to Home Depot. Fairly standard warm up of:
25 SSH IC
10 Tappy Taps IC
15 LSS IC
15 MNC IC

Moseyed back behind Home Depot toward Target. Slowed for some Toy Soldiers, butt kickers and high knees, then moseyed to Target parking lot.

THE THANG:
Started with Apple Turnovers all the way across the Target parking lot. Bear Crawl to parking spot center line, complete 3 merkins, and continue with crab walk. 3 merkins and flip back over. Finished the last lane with 10 merkins.

This up close and personal time spent with the parking lot had some pondering why people clean out their cars in parking lots and leave the trash.

Quick discussion on the G3L and specifically the Get Right.

Moseyed to the Fountains. PAX partnered up and completed a DORA with one PAX running around the round-a-bout and back while the other PAX completed:
100 box jumps
200 dips
300 step ups

MARY:
Made it back in time for flutters IC and American Hammers IC.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
A lot of announcements this morning: MISOGI, Pints & Padres, Tec Dowling golf tourney.

COT:
Prayers for PAX in attendance, praise for leaders in our community. Welcome Hemorrhage!
