Honoring Noah

Cable guy took the full hour at Alcatraz. We started with a mosey down the street to the fire station and back. The FNG was running a little late and almost took us out with his vehicle, thus we named him Wipeout. Back to the parking lot. In Cadence exercises, all sets of 22 in memory of Noah, Cable Guy’s 2.0 who would have celebrated his 22nd birthday.
Continued with some partner sprints and sets of 22 merkins, squats, and Big Boys.

With 4 minutes left we did a mix of Core and shoulders until 6:00. Total was 250 Merkins today.

Final thoughts:

Throughout the workout this morning we were able to talk about a lot of good topics. One of which was the idea of “imposter syndrome “ and how all of us in a way encounter that in our lives.

I value and admire the openness each of us has and the perspective each of us share at these workouts. It’s what keeps me coming back. Specifically The belief and knowledge that anywhere I go I’m not alone…. Even in a parking lot at 5:00am In the pouring rain. 👊

Thankful for all of you! See you out there!

Kingsley Loop is a thing

WARMUP: I warmed up the PAX with CLEAR instructions

Based how hard some slammed the ball they had pretty easy lives so far or they where just hurting from all the kettlebell swings.

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.

Funky shorts day

THE THANG: Mosey up to church parking lot for accumulating BOMBS. Perform first letter, run to front of church for 10 merkins, run back to start. Do first and second letter, run,…repeat…you know the drill.
B=5 burpees, O=10 Os (abs), M=15 mountain climbers, B=20 big boys, S=25 surf Jack’s.
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!
