Do You Suffer in Silence?

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– Moroccan Night clubs
– Low slow squats
– Imperial blocker

Gear up and head to amphitheater. Partner workout. All gear needs to get to the top of the amphitheater. Only one partner can carry at a time. Non-carrying partner must be completing exercises while partner is carrying. Once partner 1 gets to the top, he calls for his partner to bring something up the hill while he begins the exercises at the top. Once the second partner gets to the top, he begins to complete exercises while partner 1 heads back down to start empty handed. Then partner 1 calls for partner 2 to move, and he begins to exercise until he gets to remaining gear. Repeat.
Bottom exercises: goblet squat w/bell or block, calf raises w/gear
Top exercises: 2-hand upright row w/gear, calf raises w/gear
THE THANG:
Gear up and head to the parking lot in the back of the school for 4 corners. Drop gear in the center, but keep ruck on for all exercises. Every time you get to the center, complete 10 squats.

Take your bell-only to corner 1 and complete 10 U-Hauls, back to center, corner 2 bring bell and block and complete 10 alternating single-arm curls, back to center, corner 3 bring block-only and complete 10 lunge squats with block overhead, back to center, corner 4 bring bag-only and complete 5 man makers.

Repeat until it’s time to return to C.O.T.

WARMUP:
SSH
Windmill
Merkins
Peter Parker’s

THE THANG:
Do Overs

I created the MXC – Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Form teams of 3. Split work among the team. Complete Groups I and II separately. In between sets in the group, do the mode of transportation before the next set.
After Groups I and II are complete, farmer carry bell to the top of Bob Jones Stadium road and back

Group I
Mode of transport: Bear Crawl to cones and back
5 – Manmakers
10 – Curls
15 – Goblet Squats
20 – Bentover Rows
25 – Chess Press on 6
20 – Renegade Rows (1x)
15 – Flutters, Bell High (2x)
10 – Tris
5 – Manmakers

Group II
Mode of transport: run block around parking lot
20 reps
1. Deadlift
2. Shoulder Press
3. Cleans (1x)
4. Swings
5. Lunges
6. Snatches

Farmer Carry to top of hill and back

After challenge was complete, I asked teams for time. 15-20 minutes was average.

I gave the team a “do over” and the challenge was to be repeated but faster.

COT: You were given a second chance. How will you use? What will you do better? Get a faster time. what bad event happened to you: layoff, parenting, divorce. What will you do differently next time?

Improvements: I would shorten the bear crawl distance and bell carry distance.

Sht, I am going to be late for my Q

Leave a comment

Still trying to catch up on my sleep, I was late for my Q on Sunday. The group had already launched, so I had two choices when I arrived: go left or right. I went right which turned out to be wrong. Shuffled down to WEP to catch up to the group. No dice, back to COT, climbed the stairs overlooking downtown trying to locate the group. In the distance, I saw a blinking light. I quickly shuffled to catch up to them.
Crystal Lake had things under control by taking over for my misstep. He continued the Q with a backwards walk up the hill and we continue the ruck around the post office and back to COT.
Thankful for the group and the leaders who step up when needed.
