Shout out to the originator, Jekyll. He started this many years ago. Each week during the month of June, he would q this workout at Laces. Pax would show each week trying to get better each week.

I have a love hate relationship with this workout.
1. First workout I posted to in the Fort (many yrs ago)
2. 2nd workout I brought Shady to. He hated me for a few days after
3. First workout I q’d after my heart attack (2 yrs ago). The one and only time I believe Pax allowed the Q to clipboard Q.

Warmup hanging out with the bot

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

SSH
low slow squat
merkins

mosey down left side of school
changing mode of transport at each light pole
mosey
nur
bear crawl
karaoke
lunge walk

stop at end of blacktop
suicide runs down the length of the driveway area using the 4 lights as the stopping points

3 rounds. 1 minute each. Split into 2 groups
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Plank
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – Al Gore
Switch
Group 1 – dead hang
Group 2 – hold a lunge
Switch

activating the lats during a dead hang helps with the movement and also recruits more muscles to punish. We don’t do a lot of grip work, nor pullups due to the nature of the F3 sites, so I think this is important to incorporate OTB or more regularly in workouts.

AMRAP 12 minutes
20 merkins
20 plank jacks
20 bomb jacks
5 burpee pull-ups (PAX can use their momentum from the jump to assist)

THE THANG:

5 pull-ups
Mosey back to COT

MARY: yes

ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots of 2nd F

COT: Named our FNG Focker. He is Funhouse’s daughter’s boyfriend so it seemed appropriate. 17 year old who is going to be a senior at Catawba Ridge, and we are glad to have him.

Funbags and whining

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, side straddle hops, windmills
THE THANG: Indian run w/ 40# sandbags. Front guy gives bag to next guy, drops to do 5 merkins, then sprints to rejoin line telling front person to pass bag. Broke into 2 teams and did that for a lap. Then stayed in teams and did sandbag pass back, last person runs with bag to front. Did this across field Then down to bottom of big hill. At bottom of hill, stay in 2 teams. Both teams had to complete 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 LBCs, 200 squats, 100 bent over rows w/sandbag, 5 laps running up hill, and 3 laps with sandbag up hill. These were totals by team. Sandbags were not to be dropped at all 5 burpee penalty for dropping bags, no penalties for the first 30 minutes.
Back to the grassy area to pick up the 60# Funbags, 3 Pax decided to run away before more pain was inflicted.
Next evolution was the tunnel of love; form a line and stay in plank position about 3 ft apart from other pax, pull/drag the sandbags sideways until we reach the other side of the field, back to start with same movement.
We formed two teams of 5, movements:
– sand bag toss (sideways) using only 60 # bags, alternate between all pax, across the field and back, loosing team did 5 burpees.
– squat, clean and toss with 60# bag, across the field and back, losing team did 5 burpees.
– bear crawl sand bag pull/drag, across the field and back, loosing team did 5 burpees.
Lots of whining coming from a few pax.
Done with sandbags, 10 burpees for everyone. Run to pull up bars, two rounds of 5 pull ups for everyone.
Back to COT, one minute AMRAP hand release merkins. Most pax completed 30 reps, a few pax more than 40, form was of the essence.

COT: prayers for all pax and family members that are going through health issues.

Tinsel out!

bootcamp with running

Leave a comment

6 PAX and a FNG gathered around the flagpole for the Pledge of Allegiance. Disclaimer was mumbled by the nonprofessional.

WARMUP: SSH and Windmills. Mosey to the Town Square

THE THANG: Shamelessly stolen from Grout with some slight modifications.

Round 1
5 Burpees
10 Big Boys
15 Carolina Dry Docks
20 Lunges
25 American Hammers
30 Shoulder Taps
35 Monkee Humpers
40 Flutters
45 Mountain Climbers
50 Squats
Run a Hill leg, North to 160 or South to Patterson, 5 squats then return to Town Sqare for Round 2.

Round 2.
Same as Round 1 but exclude the 50 squats. After the 45 Mountain Climbers are completed, run a Flat leg, East or West on Academy, 5 Merkins, then return to Town Sqare for Round 3.

Round 3, same as Round 1, exclude the 40 Flutters, then run a Hill leg, 5 squats, return to Town Square for Round 4.

Continue working down the ladder to Round 10 with only 5 burpees between each running leg. I finished 5 rounds.

There were a lot of excercises between each run, and the PAX were strongly encouraged to transition quickly between each excercise so we could get our mandatory miles completed.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Gekko speaking at Hanging with Stang today. Sign up for yardwork at the Fort Mill Care Center. Read your newsletter.

COT: FNG, Gavin, was Eh’d by Stang. Gavin is college student on summer break, and is visiting from OK. Get to know this guy while he is here. He recently completed his diver certification and his F3 name quickly was The Bends. Google it.

Blessed for the opportunity to led at Minnow Pond. Thank you Jeckle for the opportunity. I kicked a dent in this high mileage AO average pace today. It was a bootcamp with running. Should have climbed the ladder to get more distance. I got 3 miles and a complete body workout. I’m not a professional.
