What would you say you do here?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: yea, this is important

THE THANG:

  1. move the parking lot aisles. 1 burpee, run to the other end, 2 burpees, next aisle, 3 burpees, etc. up to 10
  2. mosey to the hill with the close light poles. 5 squats at the first, bear crawl to the second, 10 squats, bear crawl, etc. up to 30
  1. the last light pole was not illuminated….reminds me of a sad clown. A man who is present but the lights are off. So, of course we did reps there, because that guys needs them the most
  1. back down the hill with Carolina Dry Docks and crawl bear.
  2. mosey to the front of the school for a fake stop
  3. mosey to the back of the school for a short sprint
  4. mosey to the side of the school to climb the hill
  5. mosey back to COT with Dictator taking the lead

MARY: last 5 min and we rotated who led

ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter

COT: There are lots of guys in our lives with their lights off. Just a shell of what they could be. You can see it at work, in your neighborhood, at church, your kid's school, the grocery store, in a restaurant, etc. They're cosplaying at being the men they were created to be. F3 isn't the only answer for them, but it's a pretty dang good one. Go EH!

Egypt > Desert > Promised Land

Leave a comment

WARMUP: in cadence/out of cadence exercises including some windmills, some toy soldiers, some SSH, and an Elf movie reference from @U02DKM63B7B
THE THANG: We were taken out of Egypt into the Desert and into the Promised Land. Fleeing Egypt, we moved down the lot with repeated stops for 20 merkins and 10 squats, a reminder that freedom takes effort. In the Desert, we focused on endurance over speed, hitting 4 corners at a steady pace with some big boy sit-ups and low/slow squats (at a quantity I cannot currently recall because of the complaints being thrown my way.) We repeated the other 4 corners with some diamond merkins. After a perimeter run, Joshua 1:8 was shared to encourage us as we entered the Promised Land where we reversed direction around the (working) lights with 3 “easy” jump squats. Closing out we embraced a few more merkins and a mosey back to COT.
MARY: big boy sit-ups and squats countdown from 5
ANNOUNCEMENTS: @U0603USPHAS invited some feedback on the Q with mostly positive feedback which is unfortunate, but still appreciated. If I wanted to have my ego stroked I’d go to Orange Theory. @U0A739SGTL3 mentioned garbage pickup next Saturday somewhere. I was interested because it reminded me of the 210 hours of community service the judge hit me with years ago. @U0603USPHAS also shared a discussion event happening on August 28th at Forest Hill in Fort Mill at 6:30am called The Excavation.
COT: Prayers for @U06Q8DSSV5Y to get back out here and lean on brothers during this difficult time. Prayers for Mint Hill’s Windex to get back out and to be the one receiving encouragement. Prayers for all of us to understand the power of our words and the gift of being able to speak them.

Prison Break

Leave a comment

Lap around the parking lot, back to the parking spaces behind COT. Each Pax stayed inside there parking space and performed a series of exercises. Once completed, we ran a lap and began another set of exercises. The exercises were the following: SSHs, curb hops, Mike Tyson’s, bear crawl, crawl bear. Grave diggers, and CDDs.
We had some time left over at the end to do some stone exercises 1 minute of each: curls, overhead press, and squat thrusters.
Back to COT.

I Was Wrong, And I’m Grateful For That

Leave a comment

The rain was forecasted to be gracing us but instead, all we had was clouds and humidity, a lot of it. Based on some of our fair-weather posting habits, I assumed no more than 3 PAX would post here due to the chance of raindrops and thanks to 5 other men, there were 6 of us. It was exactly who needed to be there.
WARMUP: Run to the intersection with Opportunity Drive for some Side Straddle Hops & Walking Lunges.
Run down the hill to the drainage pond…sounds so glorious for some Squats & Merkins. Now, run to the parking deck entrance.
THE THANG:
At each level of the deck on the way up, and including the top:
5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 10 V-Ups, 15 Squats

At the top, run to the other side for the following:
5 Burpees, 10 Hand-Release Merkins, 10 Jump Squats, 15 Flutters (count the rt side only)
Perform that set at each level, including the bottom.
Run back to the circle for 20 American Hammers (I/C)
Run back to the pond for 20 Dips (I/C)
Run back to the intersection with Redstone Drive for 10 Low Squat Pulses (I/C). This was a nod to Santini.
Run back to COT.

MARY: See above

Push Through Complacency

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, down dog, honeymooner, cherry pickers, side lunges and some 5 second Merkins.

THE THANG: 20,15,10,5 cinder block reps with a run after each set. Two movements to super set each other.

Bench Press, Dips

Cleans, Bent over Rows

Squats, Over head press

Started each new set of movements together and took a 10 count before starting.

Ended with a burnout set of cinder block Thrusters. Did as many as you could.

Moseyed back to the flag for ab work until the clock hit 6.

Today was about push through the hard stuff and pushing through the complacency of a workout, work, marriage, faith every aspect of life. But remembering to stop and take a breath to reset your mind before doing the hard things.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Print shop cookout on 7/21 for defend the father less. Read your newsletter.
