I Think We Where On A Trail

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Was Done
THE THANG: Olaf asked me to Q several weeks ago and forgot all about it. Had he not texted me the night before I would not have shown. 0515 rolled around and we had 3 pax plus me. First time ever meeting Butter Fat, what a cool awesome dude. And he wore some Altra Lone Peaks so he was in the cool kid club already! We grabbed our rucks and sandbag and I took the boys to a trail or at least tried to find it, behind Earthfare that our humble Olaf is in process of making. I think we found parts of it. We made our way down Dave Gibson Blvd. to a trail that I’ve never been on before (Shocking I know). All in all we got around 2.5 miles while passing the sandbag back and forth throughout. Olaf underwent hand surgery so he rolled in at the end much to our surprise.

Deep Burn at The Stockade

Leave a comment

It was a cold November morning in the Fort, but there was an lingering anticipation of a deep burn to keep the PAX warm.

Warmups:

·  Side Straddle Hops
·  Windmill (Trucker Friendly)
·  Tappy Taps
·  Hillbilly Walkers
·  Donkey Kick (In Cadence)
·  Down/Up Dog
·  Let Stretch

Everyone was feeling warm and we were off.

The Thang:

We were all feeling lucky this morning, so the Q decided to invite a friendly game of blackjack into the mix.

·   1 Merkin & 20 Leg Lifts = 21 reps of a deep burn
·  Run to the other side of the HT parking lot
·  2 Merkins & 19 Leg Lifts = 21 reps of a deep burn
·  Run to the other side of the HT parking lot

You can see a patter forming. We worked our way down to 20 Merkins & 1 Leg Lift.

If my Zima math is correct we did 210 Mekins, 210 Leg Lifts, and ran across the parking lot 10 times….Carry the 1.

We moseyed over to a wall for what the holy grail of the Exicon calls “Descending Testicles”

Descending Testicles:

·   15 degrees on the wall and 10 Derkins
·  45 degrees on the wall with 10 Derkins
·   Ball to Wall with 10 Derkins

We added 30 American Hammers & 30 squats.

Mosey over to COT with 5 minutes left. Might as well throw some Bear Crawls with Carolina Dry Docs in.

We did a Jack Webb with 4 Bear Crawls & 1 CDD. We made it to 36 Bear Crawls and 9 CDD’s until time ran out.

Prayers for Slapshot’s Mother-In-Law, my friends Mother-In-Law that passed, and safe holiday travel.

Funky shorts day

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey around teeter, deep breathes at the dumpsters, circle up on far end. SSHs, windmills, low slow squats. MNCs. Finish up warm ups with mucho chesto. 10 merkins, 10 diamonds, 10 wide arm, 10 stagger right, and 10 stagger left.
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!

There’s a hill here?

Leave a comment

I was late. It’s a long story. Happy to tell you any other time

WARMUP: Olaf took the PAX that were on time to the FW parking lot for some stuff that YHC missed
THE THANG: Hustle down the hill and hit the very dark trails. YHCs light is in the other car so it was fun navigating the gloom. No matter. We got to the hill by the GHMS lot and up we went.
At the top bear crawl both ways across the street and 20 4 count flutters with press.
Down the hill and 20 4 count ruck curls and overhead presses. Repeat up and down with same reps.
Bottom of the hill we head back and stop at each bridge.
1. 10x LSS
2. 15x Overhead press
3. 10x Ruck Curl
4. 10x LSS
Then it was time to airport power-walk back to CoT. With the last 300 meters a ruck run to meet up with the STL crew
