Leave a comment

Wanted to put together some fun as a tribute to Masters weekend. Pulled a few ideas from other regions in years past and put together a Masters themed weinke.

Warmup

Per typical golf warmup routine….very minimal.

Divot Fixers (Cherry Pickers)
Back Rotations aka “This Thingy Right Here”
Touch Your Toes 3 or 4 Times

Moseyed to football field to start “Round of 18”. Wind prohibited setting up “tee markers” beforehand, so carried them with us as we went along.

The Thang

Burpees each hole = 1 x hole par (Par 4 = 4 burpees)

A brick workout broke out in the midst of a Shield Lock discussion

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Took a lap around the COT parking lot performing karaoke, buttkickers, and highknees. Circled up close to my vehicle because we needed to grab some bricks. But, before each man grabbed his source of pain we performed 10xSSHinCadence, 10xWMinCadence, 10xCPsinCadence, 10xMNCsinCadence, and 10xMerkinsinCadence. Short mosey to the vehicle, popped open the tailgate, and everybody grabbed some bricks.
THE THANG: COT parking lot is marked as a football field. Started at the goal line and lunged walk to the 50yard line. Every time PAX went down into their lunge they were asked to perform a lateral raise with the bricks. We stopped every 10 yards and executed 10 Burpees.

Next, we moseyed to a nearby grassy area. Time for a Jack Web of pain. 1 Merkin – 4 OCs w/ bricks. We definitely felt the pain by the time we made it to 10 Merkins – 40 OCs w/ bricks.

Moseyed back to the 50yard line. Ask the PAX to reverse lunge walk back to the goal line. Every time the PAX went down in to their lunge they performed a front raise with the bricks. We stopped every 10yards to perform 10 BombJacks with the bricks.

Didn’t need to travel far for the next Jack Web of pain. PAX circled up and we started with 1 Squat – 4 LowSquatPulses. While pulsing PAX were asked to hold their bricks in a front raised position. Legs & shoulders were burning by the time we made it to 10 Squats – 40 LowSquatPulses. A lot of funny commentary regarding everyone’s pulsing technique and pulsing speed ( apparently I’m a slow pulser ).

Last, but not least, asked the PAX to lie down on their bellies for some Superman Poses. We held each pose for a 10 count by YHC ( apparently, I’m also a slow counter, blame it on my Southern upbringing ). 1st pose was arms straight out with bricks in hand and legs together, 2nd pose was arms in field goal position and legs spread slightly apart, 3rd pose was arms in airplane position with legs spread shoulder width apart, and 4th pose was arms in parachute position with legs spread wide apart. Performed 2 sets of each pose.
MARY: Had time for 15xAlternating Single Leg V-Ups and 30x Touch your toes crunches, of course, all exercises performed with bricks.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter serve tonight, the upcoming Jager CSAUP ( can’t wait for this one ), Rock Region’s 10 year anniversary, and a few others that I’ve failed to remember.
COT: ShowtoKnow

Ring Around the Parking Lot

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey and some other things
THE THANG: Dora – one partner ran in one direction while the other farmer carried two Cindy’s the opposite direction. Connected with the partner and did two burpees, switched the run for the farmer carry. Each time we met our partner increased burpee reps by two and switched the run and carry. Completed four laps in the parking lot for about a mile of run, mile of farmer carry split by each team and a total of 72 burpees by all. Hit the pull up bars for a series of three exercises: 3 pull ups, 6 leg raises, 9 bar taps/squats ran through this for about ten minutes.
MARY: Flutters until we couldn’t flutter and merkins til the six.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes.
COT: Many prayers and praises for all varieties.

No talking = leadership opportunities…and a shovel flag handoff!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: started things up with very little voice and the voice lasted about 2 min before going out.

Got things going with SSH, low slow squat, merkins. I think that was about it because talking and calling cadence was not happening.

Mosey over to the front of the school for some additional warm up.

Ran over to the corner for some partner work.
THE THANG: Dora is game so we partnered up.

Shower curtain helped call out the exercise.
100 diamonds
200 lunges
300 flutters (4 count)

Partner 1 runs back to the front of school, partner 2 does exercises until back

We then ran over to all the benches by the R wing and did some 7s using the benches running back and forth between benches.

Exercises were dips and derkins.
MARY: some stretching, some core, and some burpees??
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jester was our Q source point today so this was covered throughout the workout thanks to JWOW, shower curtain, and Esso.

Also a big shovel flag transfer! Thanks to Cyclops and congrats to Warning Track!
COT: of course!
