Kingsley Loop is a thing

WARMUP: I warmed up the PAX with CLEAR instructions
THE THANG: Fartleks on Kingsley Loop, not Kingsley loop. Notice that one is a proper name and one is well, not. Run laps alternating moderate and fast pace. Rabbits got 5.
MARY: No Mary

Naked Man Moleskin: I had it worked out. But I guess I need to do a better job of Vision Articulation, Persuasion, Exortation. *Noted
Fort Mill Pax are the best around!

Last but not least some Global warming with a twist. I broke out the 15lbs slam ball as we got in to Al gore position and each person took a turn slamming the ball as hard as you lived 5 times. Based how hard some slammed the ball they had pretty easy lives so far or they where just hurting from all the kettlebell swings.

Great work by all men, my legs and lower back are going to feel this one for a few days.

Zima Miles

It was dark. It was dank. Visibility was low, but the pain was high. After giving an overly thorough disclaimer, collecting everyone’s social security number, and signing a waiver, we were off for a quick mosey around the park.

Warmup:
SS Hops
Tappy Taps
Windmills
Moroccan Night Clubs
Polish Mating Dance (Goofball)
Stretching

The Thang 1:
7’s on the walking path. Merkins on top of the hill (not Chip Hill) and Squats at the bottom of the hill (again not Chip Hill). Mode of transportation was running.

Mosey over to the parking lot.
LBC’s
Dying Cockroaches 🪳
Big Boy Sit-ups
American Hammers

Mosey over to the grass field for a Jack Webb. It was 1 lap around the field and 4 v-ups. We did a total of 10 laps and 220 v-ups. It was glorious.

Back to COT for stretching, announcements, prayers/praises. There was a meeting of the Bob’s at the Tega Cay Deli afterwards for some deep discussions over coffee.

JWow out.

Partner up for jump overs. P1 holds plank, P2 jumps over and does flying squirrel, repeat up to 10, then switch. We did 10, 8, 6, 4, 2. At 6 we switched to burpees instead of squirrels and added hand release merkins to plank.
Mosey back to lot and grab some curb. 20 toe taps, 20 dips, 15 toe taps, 15 dips. Finish up with 2 slaughter sets. 10 box cutters, 9 dying cockroaches, 8 BC, 7 DC….after 1 Finish with 10 box cutters. Keep legs off ground for entire series. Second set, 10 hand release merkins, 9 mountain climbers….Finish w/10 hand release…crowd pleaser after a lot of chest work. Mosey back to COT.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Apparently I missed the memo on funky shorts day. Grassy Knoll tried but it was Spectre for the win w/a fancy pair & matching headwrap. So next week the PAX will need to rise to the challenge.
COT: Thx for the opportunity Slapshot!

Band Camp took the hill

Very delayed in writing this but since Band Camp finally came to a ruck workout and keeps ‘reminding’ me about it, I’ll try to remember what we did.
Ruck up and grab sandbags and head over to small field for some sandbag relays. Grab everything and head over to base of heart attack hill. Partner up and split taking sandbags up the hill. Drop the sandbags at the top and head back down. This trip up no straps. Suitcase, fireman, overhead, however you want to carry your ruck up the hill. Almost lost Tinsel to hills namesake bit his BP finally came down. Link the sandbags together for team weight. Everyone rotated on and off to help carry the weight most of the way back to COT. Times almost up so break apart the sandbags and huff it back for COT. Thanks for the Q opportunity Divac! And I promise next year when Band Camp returns the back blast will be prompt.

Skunked

4 men showed up for a chilly morning at FMHS. Quick mosey to the band field (no signs of Band Camp). Warm ups (SSH, Imperial Walker, Windmill, Squats). Next, we used the field markers to do a burpee ladder. 1 burpee at each 10 yard marker adding 1 every 10 yards running back to the end zone.
Next, we moseyed to the freshman drop off area. Three rounds of dips x20. Continued our journey around the school to the pull-up bars. Three rounds of pull-ups x5 and squats x10.
Mosey to the front of the school. Two rounds of 1 minute toe taps. Back to COT for Mary (LBCs, Flutters, Hello Dolly, Freddie’s).
