Parting is such sweet sorrow

Leave a comment

Tomahawk came with one mission and one mission only, to take ass and kick names. It has been a great few months reviving this long forgotten relic. I can’t think of a better way to send Tomahawk back to the depths than with todays Gladiator Games.

It renewed my faith in the pax that they aren’t ALL squishy. Sure some still cant do a proper lunge (Bandcamp), but I saw hope. Hope that pax don’t stay complacent, hope that harder AOs like Tallawah and Kitchen Sink become the new norm, and hope that we will continue to push each other.

Who knows, maybe Tomahawk will be needed again one day. But for now… Birdcage signing off

WARMUP: SSH. Cherry Pickers, Merks, Rebel Merks, Diamond Merks, Imperial Walkers, Nightclubs, Squats, Honey Mooner, Downward Doggie, Windmills, Mosey…
THE THANG: Keep it simple: Mini – Ladder – start at 5 reps w each rung in ladder adding one rep ( 6, 7, 8, and 9) 5 Bomb Jax, 6 Diamond Merks, 7 Big Boys, 8 Donkey Kicks, 9 Seal Jax!
Next up – some 11s ( that Bass couldn’t wait to get started )
We started top of the hill with Bobby Hurleys then moseying down around the bend and up the Hill to a spot so close to the starting point ( other side of road) and knocked out Plank Jax to keep the math working…
Called an audible half way thru to assist with the hill climbs and descents- finished out the 11s on a flatter area of the entrance. Almost infringed on the Minnow Pond parameters ( but who was measuring the total ground covered??)

MARY: 4 mins of Mary completed with a solid use of Heels to Heaven by Gemini who challenged the Pax up to a 15 count ….when the mumblechatter began after passing the standard 10 count! Nice work by all!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes!!
COT: Prayers for Geraldine who was being comforted at Hospice ( prayers for Slash and family), Family ( teenagers for ChickHawk), health and fellowship as we head into Summer.

Halting Ring of Fire

Leave a comment

17 pax posted at Ring of Fire.

Started with a run. Did some Toy Soldiers and carioca.

Warm up with: SSHs, windmills, imperial walkers, Moroccan n/c, Low slow squats, big arm circles, peterparkers, plank stretches.

Ran around to the back of NaFo.

Did bench work: step ups (10 each leg), incline merkins (12 I/C), dips (12 I/C), butt touch squats (12), decline merkins (10 I/C), calf raises (18).

Proceeded to run some more, and stopped at the band practice lot. Did “Munitions factory”:
Pax do low plank for 1 min (this is home), then bear crawl about 100 yards (this is your commute), then do work at your factory making BOMBS (pax do 25 each of: burpees, OH claps, merkins, big boy sit ups, squats), then commute back home doing a nur, then plank for the six.

Then we ran to the pull up bars.

Did 6 pull ups and 6 toes-to-bar
.
Next run back to shovel flag for some mary…we did the Sally (Moby’s Flower) routine where leg raises for “bring sally up” and 6 inch leg hold on “bring sally down”.

Fini, COT.

Pre-run at 5:45, most of you missed the memo.
Litter pick-up followed, most of you missed the memo.
Lesson learned: write back blasts immediately, for memory sake and the potential of losing your Weinke.
Warm-up stuff
Wait for Bass and Fogerty to finish their pre-run
Back and forth across the lot with other warm-up stuff
Wait for Bass and Fogerty
Monkey Humpers facing away from Bass and Fogerty
5-10-15-20-25 accumulator with running around the track in between (for some/most)
Some wall work
Some picnic table work
Much light to light work and then more light to light work
Old Bay led the way
BitCoin honorable mention
I gave the stellar effort a Q should give
Anchorman pre-ran
Dojo …. Is still busting a$$ while on IR
Bass and Fogerty looked good doing it

Looks like we made it,

Looked better on Paper!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walker, Nightclubs, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Squats, Merks, Flutters, …etc
THE THANG: Pick a parking spot – let the fun begin – round 1: 3 exercises 10 reps each SSH, PlankJax, seal jack – flutters as the pax rotate down to next parking spot vacated in a rotating fashion ( bear crawl was mode of transportation)
Continue this cadence until you arrive back at original spot.
Round 2 – same cadence – 5 reps each – using parking block – Iron Mikes, Dips, and Bomb Jax – mode of transportation (mosey)
Time was flying so we stopped midway and headed for the “hill” by the football field that has a small minor smidge of an incline – where we began a round of 6s( modified to 4 s) due to time with Squats at bottom and Merks at top of hill.
Headed back to COT at the clock was ticking …
Mainframe helped us knock out 3 mins of Mary. Nice work by all!!!
The weinke looked better on paper. Q had to call a few audibles to make the time and reps bearable ( no pun)
Bear Crawls were welcomed with some mumblechatter:)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Cannoli run, Triple down Saturday w either the Yard or the Fort boot camps – coffee – then 5k at the Cannoli. Cake Boss celebrates a birthday yesterday 05/17, and read newsletter. Prayers for Luka and family. Sign up for meal train for Vuvu!!!
