Harold and Kumar go to coaches box

Leave a comment

WARMUP: helping one another pull our rain coats over our rucksacks.

THE THANG: Headed out towards the coaches box, logged around 3 miles total.

– Went one way to find a locked gate.
– Second shot was through the construction site but decided against.
– Third idea was the baseball field but with the rain we didn’t want to ruin the field.
– Finally we found a quick sneak through and made it to coaches box…just in time for some merkins and to turn around a high tail it back.

Along the journey we stopped for merkins; calf raises, and squats few times.

MARY: None

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Brawnys new site Q announced, tort and hare, Hog and Coyete; Bethels Men shelter.

COT: Prayers and praises for the guys being out there and supporting one another, stress of things not going according to plan, and hope for a none stressful environment with extended family.

Life is hard. Choose your hard. Marriage? Hard. Divorce? Hard. Fitness? Hard. Obesity? Hard. Debt? Hard. Discipline? Also hard. You can’t avoid hard, but you can choose your hard. Choose wisely.

I hope the workout is the hardest thing you do today. Maybe, maybe not. But when you train hard, you’re more prepared for the hard things life throws at you. You’re building strength and resiliency now to access later. Keep pushing.

Aye!

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!

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.
MARY: Load blocks into truck

At top of hill, accumulate as many squats as you can until the 6 reaches top of hill. Careful descent down the hill.

Continue our mosey down the path to remaining park benches.
