The Truth Matters

Leave a comment

Thermostat read 22 degrees at 0500hrs, but Cake Boss had Johnny Cash playing early and we never felt it. YHC was curious who, or how many would show in these conditions, but was pleasantly surprised with 12 faithful, including some newish PAX and some Upper Management that brought the mumblechatter!

This is “Q-School,” let’s get the disclaimer correct.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional – you are participating at your own risk – you are responsible for your own well-being – you are here voluntarily, and you are not paying to be here – know your limits and do the best you can – modify as necessary.

WARMUP: Let’s mosey. Loop around the student parking lot. Plank in a Circle of Pain for the 6. With the 6 in, went over The Mission and the 5 Core Principles – in order!
– 20 SHH IC
– 10 Windmills IC
The mumblechatter was excessive here. No clue how many Windmills we actually did, so… 5 burpees OYO. It did its job and quieted the PAX, for a moment.
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
– 10 MNC IC
– Yoga – Reminded the PAX of the DRP and why we’re here; to GET RIGHT.

THE THANG: Mosey to Pull-up Bars – Plank for the 6.
Discussed various types of workout formats, i.e. Pearls on a String, 7s or 11s or 21s, DORA, 4 corners.

We started with 7s this morning – 6 pull ups at the top of the hill, 1 burpee at the bottom. Made sure that we picked up the 6 and completed ALL of the reps.

Instead of asking for a 10 count, YHC continued to preach and advised the PAX of alternate ways to catch a breather if the PAX need it. We discussed properly planning your Q to ensure you have enough to do for the duration of the workout, to wear a watch, to try to address all of the parts of the body in the workout, and again, to leave no man behind.

From there, we partnered up and grabbed a coupon. Completed an AMRAP of the following exercises while your partner ran down to the stop sign and back:
– Derkins with feet on coupon
– Squat with coupon
– Overhead press with coupon
– American Hammers with coupon

Mosey back to CoT

MARY: Flutters, LBCs, Peter Parkers, Plank Jax with various PAX practicing commands and cadence.

Failure is fine

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered with our sandbags and left those for a quick mosey after a quick disclaimer. Came back for SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Came back to our sandbags and took our carabiners and clipped the ends to each other. Put them on our shoulders and then walked VERY close to each other. Alternating shoulders as needed but honestly, this lasted about 200 yards before the Q realized this wasn’t shaping up as it was in his head. Along the way we did curls and then curls and overhead presses.

We then unclipped and did 10 manmakers. We then took our bags to the tiered area and partnered up at the bottom. 1 partner with a 40 and 1 with a 60.

Partner 1 took both sandbags to the top and partner 2 stayed at the bottom doing pushups. Once partner 1 got back, there was a flip flop. Rinsed and repeated this.

Did this again with dips (just 1 round) and finished with flutters but for flutters it was a farmer carry.

Headed back towards COT but stopped at the curb for another idea…that didn’t pan out. With 2 sandbags removed, each pax laid down with a sandbag held in a press and then passed it down the line (last 2 guys had no bag yet) and then the first 1 guy that passed the bag ran to the other end in an Indian run style plan. Again, idea was ok but execution wasn’t great.

Moral of the story today – have a plan, execute plan, adjust plan, move forward.
MARY: we spared a few min

Today’s workout was proof that it can be simple and still difficult. No PowerPoints needed. No extra explanation. Just Merkins and running. Do enough, and you feel it.

How many times in life do we make things more difficult than they need to be? We worry about things that never materialize. We make excuses to not do something because it might be uncomfortable. We worry ourselves with ornate scenarios we create in our minds that have little to no basis in reality. Sometimes we need to just do the thing. Face it. Do it. Win it. Move on.

What do we need hands for

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Spider-Man ran away…right away. And I don’t think I had said anything yet. Guess he just felt like runnn-ning.

Quick disclaimer as in 3 seconds fast. We call that efficient when you don’t have any rookies.

Ran to the parking lot over by the Indian restaurant for some warmup. Started with SSH, windmills, low slow squats, slow merkins, mountain climbers, and cherry pickers. Some of us didn’t even use our arms to stretch – pretty amazing.
THE THANG: 3 exercises, ran maybe a 100 meter loop, and did the exercises again.

Exercises were 20, 20, 40…and you picked which numbers applied to which exercises.
1. Merkins
2. Squats
3. Shoulder taps (double count)

1. Lunges
2. American hammers (double count)
3. Calf raises

1. CDD
2. Plank jacks
3. Seal jacks

1. Dips (on your planking partner)
2. Flutters (double count)
3. Overhead claps

Some of this was counted in cadence, some was done OYO.
MARY: Bandcamp took us out in some stretching
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: always
