Chesty deck o cards

Leave a comment

WARMUP:  Quick loop to warm up.  It was 29 and wanted to get the guys warm before we started

Did a little stretching and yoga

THE THANG:
Beaker asked for a 5 min buy-in and with it being cold, I wanted to make sure the guys were warm before we kicked off the deck o’cards. So we lined up at the bottom of the grass hill and ran suicide light poles with burpees at the bottom where you increase by one each time. I believe there were 5 light poles total.

Next we moved to the pavilion and started the deck
❤️- curls
♦️- merkins
☘️- overhead press
♠️- laying down lat raises (fan favorite)

MARY:
Finished with 45 seconds of LBCs
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

4 minutes until the Kraken

Leave a comment

Nice and warm for a Colosseum WO and a Flag Handoff.

With a FNG present we included the 5 core principles and the F3 mission. I started the “clock” which meant that every 4 minutes throughout the course of the workout each PAX would do 5 Kraken Burpees. With that I got into the warmup.

100 SSH (IC)
15 Merkins (IC)

So for the majority of this workout we ran to separate spots from the Colosseum Shovel Flag to the Carolina Eye Center Parking Lot. We would stop along the way where I would call different exercises in Cadence in this order.

5 Merkins (IC)
10 LBC’s (IC)
15 (Flutters IC)
20 HD (IC)
25 (Squats Low Slow IC)

As we ran back towards COT we stopped briefly into the “purple light” near the Tega Cay Coffee Truck. Everyone wondered where the glow sticks and foam pit was. Good questions obviously but it was not a rave or a college basement party so we did more Kraken Burpees.

As we approached the final few minutes Backdraft complained there were not enough squats so I obliged with 50 low slow squats that segwayed nicely into 5 more Kraken Burpees.

Got back to COT where we executed a Flag handoff to Rebound and named a FNG Blacklight.

All in all it was a good workout where we ended up with about 50 Kraken Burpees and around 150 Merkins, 180 LBC’s and just about 2 miles (slightly over or under depending on the watch)

Always honored for the lead and for the opportunity.

Thank you!

Punishment for missing free throws

Leave a comment

WARMUP: the 0445 pre-run

THE THANG:
Shuttle runs
Using the rows in the parking lot (~20m apart) numbered 0-5, starting at 0, shuttle run to 1, return to 0. Run to 2, back to 0, etc until Pax got to 5, then start over from 1.

First 3 rounds (1 round being shuttle run through 1-5)
Burpees everytime you came back to 0. The number of burpees were equal to the number of the row you ran to.

Second 3 rounds were jump squats following the same rules as the burpees but by a factor of 4.

Last 3 rounds were 4 SC mountain climbers x the number of the row you ran to.
Those that finished before 6, did shuttle runs with no exercises.

Every 3 rounds was just over 1 mile.

This Weinke was stolen from @Anchorman
Do day one, run around medical building.
Plank for 6.
Do day two, day one then around the building, etc

5 Squats
6 Burpees

During Plank we got to hear about each PAX’s favorite place from where they grew up that was still there last time they went back. Slash and I had a bit of back-n-forth because the Greenway wasn’t really here when we were growing up and so much has changed in Fort Mill. Plus we both lamented Tony’s Pizza burning down.

@Cheddah- Jones Donuts
@Weezer- Al’s Fries
@OldBay- Breaker’s Pool Hall
@Mainframe- Texas Tavern
@Cyclops- Alfee’s Pizza
@JWOW- Vinny’s Pizzarama
@dilbert – Baseball Field
@Change Order- Intercoastal Waterway
@Flounder- Mosquitoes (WTH? Your favorite?)
@Esso- The Complex
@Slash- Village Pizza
@Shady- Sweet Sensations ice cream (and massage parlor?)
@Band Camp- Bartlett Tree Farm

An honor to lead.

Litter pick up – Community Svc

Leave a comment

March 18th is tentatively set as our first pick-up for the US21 adopt-a-Highway litter pickup! We will have 4 opportunities in 2023. Once a quarter is the plan.  All supplies provided ( bags, gloves, safety vests, pick up sticks, eye-wear, and fellowship) All that remains is YOU.
Plan for about 1 hour and 30 mins – 2 hours maximum. We will meet at the Harris street park around 7:45am.
We will walk up the hill to US21 and split up into 2 groups.  One group will head north to the Peachstand and back and the other group will head south to Sutton Rd and back.  (1 mile each direction)

We could use 10-12 guys to keep this an efficient and timely process. 2.0s and Ms are welcome as well as anyone who would like to participate in our community svc event.

Thank you to all who participated in 2022. Looking forward to seeing new faces as well as the HIM who assisted last year.

US 21 from the Peachstand south to Sutton Rd ( Circle K – gas station) is the road that we adopted!!
