Do The Work – Get Sore

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run almost 2 parking lot laps then circle up at the base of the hill at the entrance of the school property.
Typical warm culprits: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Wind Mills
THE THANG:
50% effort run to the stop sign at Whites Rd, 25 Merkins
Run back to the start, 20 Squats
75% effort run to stop sign, 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Run back to the start, 10 Jump Squats
100% effort run to the stop sign, 5 Diamond Merkins

Mosey past the start and continue to the parking lot adjacent to the stadium entrance for a bear crawl accumulator.
Bear crawl 3 parking lot spaces then 2 Carolina Dry Docks
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 3 CDDs.
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 4 CDDs.
Continue the trend until the end of the lot.
3/4 of the way through this evolution, I was reminded of a message that has been ringing in my head frequently. I shared this with the PAX:
“Everybody wants to be strong but nobody wants to be sore.”
This is a reference to wanting the hardship to pass while reaping the rewards of the finish product. As we all know, growth happens in the journey, long before you reach the finish line. Embrace the soreness.

Now, crawl bear back to the starting line then make our way to the goal line on the football field. We’ll be performing a modified “corners” evolution.
10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run across the field to the other side of the same goal line for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run 100yds to the other goal line but on the same side of the field for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C then across the field for 10 more Flutter Kicks I/C.
Now, run to the 20yd line and execute the same evolution while performing 10 American Hammers I/C at the stops.
Now, run to the 40yd line with 10 LBCs at the corners.
Make our way back to the start for a 100yd sprint then a 100yd NUR back.
Make our way back to the parking lot and run back to COT with a few stops for a Merkin variety along the way.
Lastly, 1min elbow plank hold.
Remember, don’t shy away from doing the hard work in life and embracing the soreness. Additionally, don’t assume you’ll get a fresh start to tackle a challenge because after all, nobody cares what you can do fresh.

MARY: Integrated throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: For Sure

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.

Music: The Killers – Hot Fuss
