Lazarus – 12DEC2024

Leave a comment

Always a good day at the Laz. Opportunity abounds and we took full advantage.

WARMUP:
Usual warm-up type stuff. Windmills, merkins, that kind of stuff…

THE THANG:
First we pulled up behind the Greek place for a <@U01FDRQSQG3> and <@U0603USPHAS> favorite, some chair work. These freaking chairs weigh at least 55-60 pounds. And they’re awkward. Terrible. Did some overhead presses, maybe something else… I don’t really remember.

Then we ran it down to the parking deck at Red Ventures. Stopped at some light poles on the way down. Ran up and down the deck and the stairs and such. It was a real nice time.

MARY:
No chicks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
The 5th Core Principle.

The Truth Matters

Leave a comment

Thermostat read 22 degrees at 0500hrs, but Cake Boss had Johnny Cash playing early and we never felt it. YHC was curious who, or how many would show in these conditions, but was pleasantly surprised with 12 faithful, including some newish PAX and some Upper Management that brought the mumblechatter!

This is “Q-School,” let’s get the disclaimer correct.
DISCLAIMER: I am not a professional – you are participating at your own risk – you are responsible for your own well-being – you are here voluntarily, and you are not paying to be here – know your limits and do the best you can – modify as necessary.

WARMUP: Let’s mosey. Loop around the student parking lot. Plank in a Circle of Pain for the 6. With the 6 in, went over The Mission and the 5 Core Principles – in order!
– 20 SHH IC
– 10 Windmills IC
The mumblechatter was excessive here. No clue how many Windmills we actually did, so… 5 burpees OYO. It did its job and quieted the PAX, for a moment.
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
– 10 MNC IC
– Yoga – Reminded the PAX of the DRP and why we’re here; to GET RIGHT.

THE THANG: Mosey to Pull-up Bars – Plank for the 6.
Discussed various types of workout formats, i.e. Pearls on a String, 7s or 11s or 21s, DORA, 4 corners.

We started with 7s this morning – 6 pull ups at the top of the hill, 1 burpee at the bottom. Made sure that we picked up the 6 and completed ALL of the reps.

Instead of asking for a 10 count, YHC continued to preach and advised the PAX of alternate ways to catch a breather if the PAX need it. We discussed properly planning your Q to ensure you have enough to do for the duration of the workout, to wear a watch, to try to address all of the parts of the body in the workout, and again, to leave no man behind.

From there, we partnered up and grabbed a coupon. Completed an AMRAP of the following exercises while your partner ran down to the stop sign and back:
– Derkins with feet on coupon
– Squat with coupon
– Overhead press with coupon
– American Hammers with coupon

Mosey back to CoT

MARY: Flutters, LBCs, Peter Parkers, Plank Jax with various PAX practicing commands and cadence.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas Party, Bethel Men’s Shelter

COT: Stays in CoT

“Complacency Crusher: No Comfort Zones Here!”

Leave a comment

Rolled into the AO with four minutes left on the clock, a perfect reminder that sometimes showing up is half the battle—but the other half is leaving any hint of comfort behind.

WARMUP:
Started with a solid round to loosen up:
– Hip Openers
– Imperial Walkers
– Chain Breakers
– Windmills

Movement:
Moved over to the island, where we kicked things off with Toy Soldiers, followed by Butt Kickers back to the starting point, and ended with a WWL favorite—Power Skips.

THE THANG:

Mosey to the Large Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees

Mosey to the Front of the School:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– Omaha’d to include 10 Muscle-Ups

Mosey to the West Side Parking Lot:
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 Carolina Dry Docks (CDDs)

Mosey to the Backside of the Baseball Fields:
– Paused to discuss the importance of pushing against complacency, especially during the holidays. It’s easy to let our guard down with, “It’s just a holiday treat” or “It’s cold, I’ll skip today.” But when we hear that voice justifying the easy path, it’s a signal to lean in and push harder. Consistency beats comfort every time.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons

Mosey to the Tennis Courts:
– Bear Crawled up the staggered retention walls, pushing limits further.

– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Mosey Back to the Parking Lot Entrance:
Wrapped up our discussion on complacency by identifying areas in our lives where we tend to coast and could use improvement. Accountability comes when we’re open and honest, encouraging each other to level up.
– 5 Burpees
– 10 Hand-Release Merkins
– 20 CDDs
– 15 Mike Tysons
– 10 Dips
– 5 Prisoner Get-Ups

Originally planned for 10 Monkey Humpers, but we upped it to a solid 25 to finish strong.

Final mosey to the Circle of Trust (COT)

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– Thanksgiving Convergence
– Christmas Party
– Dam to Dam Bar 10k
– Upcoming Wine Dinner (details to come)

PRAYERS AND PRAISES:

Wrapped it up feeling stronger together and ready to take on the day.
