WARMUP: Mosey around the small loop with butt kickers & toy soldiers mixed in. To that, add a few warm-up exercises.
THE THANG: Everyone gets the opportunity to complete the 60×60. This is where you start with a sand bag on the ground and hoist it over your shoulder and repeat for 60sec.
Now, partner up so there is 1 sand bag per partner group. Collectively, toss your sand bag around the big loop. Yes, the big one. Most PAX traded off after 5 throws. Pick up the 6 and help out where possible.
Everyone grab your bag and line up at one end of the parking lot, staring down our target ~75yds away.
Run to the other end, 25 American Hammers I/C
NUR back and 15 Dead Lifts with the bag.

Dump Truck Mayhem

Leave a comment

Bringing the Kitchen Sink theme Eastward to The Premier CRHS AO, Bushwood. Coupons were everywhere—and I do mean everywhere! The frequent 5:45am dump truck visit was right on time at the middle school bball courts across Spitz’s namesake driveway, White Rd. The pax did a nice job, as instructed, creating a Cindy barrier to test our dear friend, The Dump Truck Driver’s, wit. Barricade be damned…our friend made meat mince of the ill-formed concrete blocks. As he accelerated towards our barricade, the pax stared in amazement in disbelief that our obstacle would do no good, and no good it did. Slash’s donated Cindy (one of six we’ll call Charlie) came as one unit. Charlie left as a pile of ruble with a splitting headache I’m sure. Poor fella took the full brunt of an accelerating 5 ton dumper determined not to be delayed in route. Charlie’s funeral at COT was a somber occasion, but we made the best of it as YHC turned the theme into Disruption and Perseverance. Unfortunately Charlie’s perseverance was for not—Slash, liking only the beautiful and pristine, declined Charlie a home for his return.

Sink roulette deck of cards

Leave a comment

17 eager and excited pax showed up. Some brought sand bags, some brought just their willing attitude which was quickly put on point upon the pile of sandbags awaiting them.

After a quick run around the parking lot, a few in cadence SSH, followed by burpees, and that repeated a few times, it was time for business.

Deck of cards was the game. Rules were simple. Follow the count on the card and suit to the key on the paper.

Here’s the extra kitchen sink rule: for the 4 cards laid out, 1 card was chosen by a pax to either pick red or black. If correct, follow the card suit/count. If incorrect, penalty was double the count.

All exercises were done with your sandbag.

– 2-7 diamonds manmaker
– 8-Ace diamonds squats
– 2-7 spades lunge
– 8-Ace spades merkins (just do regular merkins
– 2-7 clubs clean and press
– 8-Ace clubs flutter w/ a press
– 2-7 hearts chest press
– 8-Ace hearts curls
– Joker gear carry shuffle 100 yards and then 1 min sandbag toss over shoulder, 100 yard shuffle
– A few “breaks” were added which included some slick run cool downs and a few gear shuffles with no bag toss

For the record, there were some incorrect cards chosen which were a crowd favorite as you’d expect.
