Kitchen Faucet Was Turned Off At The ‘Sink

Leave a comment

Bring your sand bag. Those were the instructions.
WARMUP: Short mosey with a few of the typical warmup exercises.
THE THANG: Grab your bag…sandbag, and meet me by the flag poles.
I reintroduced the GoRuck 60×60 and let them know it would be a regular exercise this morning. For the 1 person reading this, if you’re not sure what the 60×60 is, here you go.
Start with the bag on the ground in front of your feet. Bend over and put your hands on the bag, drop back to a plank, execute a pushup with your chest touching the bag, pop up into the bottom of a squat, rack the sandbag to a front-rack position, stand up then toss the sandbag over your head once you get to the top of the movement. That is 1. Turn around, address the sandbag and do it again. Repeat for 60 seconds.
To ensure we knew how to execute it, we performed our first 60×60.
Rack the bag and make our way behind the school to the back drop-off entrance.
15 of each exercise:
Simbas (because I love them and they’re harder with a sandbag)
Flutters with press. At rep #8, I was called out for not actually pressing my sandbag so I performed 8 correct reps once everyone else completed their 15. I’m thankful IJ called me out as I’m sure others saw this yet didn’t speak up. We need men in our lives who will speak up.
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the other end of the back stretch behind the school.
15 of each exercise:
Squats
Dead Lifts (Hopefully with proper form)
Thrusters
Slow(er) Calf Raises
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the corner of the loop by the lighted sign.
15 of each exercise:
Partner Derkins (no sandbag)
Curls
Overhead Press
Chest Press (15 I/C actually means 30)
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet over by the rock
Another 60×60
Partner Up
Partner 1: Farmers Carry the two sand bags an untold distance, probably 40yds then back.
Partner 2: Mountain Climbers
Flapjack
Rack the sandbag and go back to COT.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Rock Hill Rooster (I think) Partnership with Bethel on Sept 6!
All the others are in the Newsletter, or should be.
COT: Indeed

Billy Madison Loop

Leave a comment

6 of us dodged puddles and covered over 4 miles this morning. Here was what YHC dubbed the “Billy Madison” route:

– Circle Doby’s Bridge Elementary, up Neff Court
– Take the rocky path up and over Doby’s Bridge to and through Dominion Bridge
– Venture down Whites Rd, left at the Forest Creek Middle basketball courts, around the school, down to the track and back up and over Whites Rd again
– Circle Catawba Ridge High School, back over Whites Rd, through Dominion Bridge (up hill this time) and back to COT
– 4.16 miles total

NMM
When we all arrived this morning, it was pouring – like, you cannot see the road pouring. I think we all thought the worst about what was to come. Funny thing though, at 5:13 the rain stopped and we stepped off. We made the situation much worse in our minds than what was reality. There’s a lesson there. Maybe the thing you are putting off isn’t as bad as you think it is. Maybe you should just step off and get started. Or maybe it was just happenstance. Maybe.

Aye!
