Round 2 – attempt to do more than round 1. Ran low on time for the final 3 exercises

MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: Remains the 5th core principle
NMM:
The Q is responsible for the outcome of any exercise. YHC had not led a kettlebell workout in some time, and it may have showed.

The final 3 exercises of round 2 were unable to be done by 0600 due to YHC's lack of planning. Thankfully the PAX were gracious and willing to reduce their final intervals to 30 seconds in order to make it to COT in time for 0600.

I suppose it could alternatively be argued that the weinke was enough to take us just past 0600 and, in that moment, learned the application of modify as necessary.

Either way, thanks Bam Bam for the opportunity to lead.

Gratefully.

Headed to cot after 3 of the 4 corners completed on the last set

MARY: nope – open to all men

ANNOUNCEMENTS: in the newsletter – read it

COT: 5th core principle

Q-school lessons shared from 3 C’s and four corners. Reminders that simple can be effective. In keeping the group together, four corners and self-explanatory exercises are helpful to keeping pax connected and together during a workout – all while embodying the credo of leaving no man behind but not leaving him where you found him.

Thanks for the call Deep Dish.

Miles, smiles, and a little rain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None, but I did theragun at home
THE THANG: With a light but steady rain, four Pax set off across 160 through the office park. We then circled back and explored the sidewalks of Kingsley with good mumblechatter along the way. We did have three brief stops for ruck upright rows, and squats. We arrived back at COT at 5:59 so we wrapped it up with 20 monkey humpers. All in, we got ~3 miles under weight.
MARY: nope

Do 1 More

Leave a comment

WARMUP: lap around the parking lot, SSH, Moroccan Nightclubs, windmills

THE THANG: Do 1 More
This is a 12 round AMRAP 1 minute each with a 45 second break to do as many as you can. I told the pax to write down their number after each round. I did not tell them if a high number was good or bad or how it would affect the other pax good or bad so that they would push themselves. The rounds were:
Merkins
Squats
CDDs
Burpees
SSH
Bobby Hurleys
Plank jacks
Big boys
Shoulder Taps
Overhead Claps
Mtn Climbers
LBCs

Then we talked about how much we accomplished, but how much more was till to be done. But that you can do more than you think you can, so add 1 more to each rounds reps for round 2. i.e. 41 Merkins in round 1 meant 42 Merkins in round 2.

By the end, we had completed as a group (13 bootcampers) 9,155 reps in 45 minutes. Feel accomplished, you guys did a ton of work!

MARY: No Time

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Newsletter, Overnight silly-ness ruck event, Strawberry 5k.

COT: Marriages, health and healing, travel, reach out to someone you haven't heard from in a while and let them know you're thinking about them. It'll make their day even if they don't respond with more than thanks. Or you might talk to them for an hour. But reach out, you never know when someone needs it.
