Simple, but not Easy

Leave a comment

Three got up early to do the hard thing. Here’s what we did:

Carry sandbag to the traffic circle at the bottom of Hubert Graham and back. Stopped 5 times to repeat 5 Manmakers, 10 OH Press, 15 Curls, and 20 Squats. 2.03 miles and great conversation about the positives and negatives of being dependable, reliable, and strong. Workout sucked but the company was great!

FYF: The Red Rocket Chronicles

Leave a comment

9 (or maybe 10 and I can’t remember who the 10th was) found a safe space while <@U012K8DDK7V>‘s dog microaggressed a bunch of them with his red Rocket at Currahee…
– Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
– Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he’ll eventually be grateful for
– 3D’s GTE prep continues, but he doesn’t mind if it doesn’t include any more Crawl Bears
– Italian Job only sang 3 90’s hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
– For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of “unable to hear” for his lack of compliance with instructions
– fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren’t looking.

THE THANG:
Evolution 1 = 1-mile time hack – 14 minutes to complete
– Starting at corner of school, around big loop clockwise, turn left to go behind the school. Take the outside lane in the small lot, then take a left around the big loop and continue to the flags at entrance of school

– 18 man-makers – buy in
– 26 curls
– 26 merkins

REPEAT if time (minus the man-makers — we forgot the deadlifts)

Ladders of fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
The usual, SSH, Moroccan night clubs, lots of arm circles, low slow squats
THE THANG:
Disclaimer… Tabatha: every time the alarm went off… 10 Carolina dry docks every two minutes, 10 squats 30 seconds after that
Evolution: toss your sandbag to light pole towards car pool line, carry it no next one following the street, toss, carry… and then we found a ladder… loaded up the ladder with sandbags, one pax will carry sandbag while the other 6 went under weight carrying the ladder on their shoulders, remember Tabatha? Well, every time alarm went off, ladder is grounded, dry docks and squats are performed, rotate pax on sandbag, keep moving… movement was dictated by Tabatha… back to start point, 5 minutes of broga… while at it… yes, alarm went off again… just a few more CDD and squats.

MARY: broga
