The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

Leave a comment

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

NMM
Training in less than optimal conditions builds resiliency and prepares you for sub-optimal situations in the future. Sure this workout would have been more palatable in the Spring, but we did what had to be done in the conditions that we had, and we’re all better because of it. I’m sure there’s a life lesson in there.

Thanks for the opportunity this morning. I hope this is the hardest thing you do all day.

No One Escapes Alcatraz Without Doing Hard Labor

Leave a comment

Pulled in with 5 minutes to spare, unloaded the whiteboard of pain, and got ready to honor someone who fought harder than we ever will in a 45-minute workout.
Today’s beatdown was in memory of Kathleen “Mrs. Burns,” the M of F3 Puget Sound’s Burns, who courageously battled pancreatic cancer for 571 days before passing on August 21, 2022. The workout was built as a tribute to her strength, endurance, and spirit.

THE WOD: “Mrs. Burns” Tribute
(Goal: 5 rounds – Completed: 3 rounds IC)
Buy-In: Run ~0.35 miles (approx. 500M)
Each Round (x3):
– 20 Overhead Coupon Presses
– 20 Burpees
– 20 Curls
– 20 V-Ups
– 20 Goblet Squats
– 13 Man-Makers
– Run ~0.35 miles again

Team Grinder – The Block Chain:
– Stack all Cindy’s at the front
– Line up the PAX
– First HIM passes a block down the line
– Last HIM restacks it, moves to the back
– Repeat until every man has cycled through
– (Yes, it was slow. Yes, it burned. Yes, we’ll probably do it again.)

COT:
– Announcements, praises, and prayer
– Challenge: Carry more than just weight today—carry each other
– Wrapped with Coffeeteria at Tega Cay Deli because fellowship matters

Strong men showed up. Stronger reasons kept us going.

Halfway there…… 10 Seconds….

Leave a comment

Beautiful day in the Gloom. Always look forward to Q. Great turnout at the sink for my madness with a timer.

Warmup:

SSH x 15
Seal Jack x 15
Plank Jack x15
Mountain Climber x 15

Pick up something heavy get to the field

All Pax line up facing a series of cones. All Pax have to do the following with their Block or Sandbag

50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press
100 Squats
25 Man makers

Every minute on the minute they will hear a beep. When you hear the beep you move to a cone.
Mode of Transportation between cone 1 and 2 is Overhead carry. Mode of Transportation of cones 2 and 3 are murder bunny or Bag toss.
Wash rinse repeat until all reps are done.
There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!
