EMOM at the movies…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Cherry Pickers, down dog, honey mooners, pigeon stretch, mosey to the parking lot in front of the movie theater.

THE THANG: 4 corner EMOM
(every minute on the minute)

PAX broke into three group and picked a corner to start at. Each corner had a different upper body exercise listed on a white board. You would preform the exercise for a minute straight then a buzzer would go off and you had 15 seconds to run to the next corner and get ready for the next exercise. Corners were about 80 yards apart. (No meters Merica)

Exercises were:

Thrusters with cinder block
Hand Release Merkins
Bear crawls
Curb Walks-(plank position facing curb and walked hands on top of curb then back down. Like step ups with hands….)

We did three laps of this then stoped and turned the boards over for new lower body exercises to do two more laps in the same fashion.

Lower body exercises:

Over Head Squats with cinder block
Butkus (Quick curb steps ups)
Jumping split squats
Duck walks

After that we ran to the fountain near movie theater and did wall sits while one person farmers carried bigger than normal cinder blocks around the fountain until each man went.

Then moseyed back to flag.

MARY: Flutters, Freddy mercury, side LBCs, held 6”, big boys

ANNOUNCEMENTS: bethel, 4Bs, and trash pick up all next week. Read the letter O’news

COT: was had, discussed, and prayed for

Egypt > Desert > Promised Land Bootcamp

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We started with a mile around campus, fleeing Egypt with a few dynamic stretches along the way. Made sure to circle back for the six. @U5MQ8FHV0 stepped up with some Side Straddle Hops while YHC went back for @U02DKM63B7B.
THE THANG: We finally arrived in the Desert, a few parking lot islands away from the Promised Land.
25 Merkins, 25 Squats, 25 Big Boy Sit-Ups, followed by a controlled run to the next aisle. Repeat.
YHC also learned what a zipper is (and apparently isn’t).
Our first complaint came from @U02DKM63B7B, which seemed fitting considering the Israelites’ experience in the wilderness. He also appointed @U0BEBRDB5U7 as his proxy for any reps he wouldn’t be completing.
Once we reached 100 reps of each, we swapped Merkins for Dips, courtesy of @U08NJ8FF1PF.
We finished with a sprint around the parking lot perimeter, making our final push into the Promised Land.
MARY: A little Mary roulette followed, with @U011KKZ17U6 calling Jennifer Lopez, only for @U02DKM63B7B to discover someone was apparently doing the Ben Affleck instead. Hilarious.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Consider donating to F3 to support something that’s changed so many of our lives. Be proactive in providing food for Bethel Men’s Shelter. Convergence next month at the Ranch (apparently there’s good parking). The Excavation at Forest Hill Fort Mill is November 13. A few parties coming up, details of which YHC has not retained.
COT: Prayers for safe travels, a successful surgery for @UJKGM3VKJ and a speedy recovery. Prayers for @U0AQZ0DGP97 as he prepares to start his new job next month. Prayers for the Pope and for those requests left unspoken.

WARMUP: BC led that….it involved burpees in cadence, but only after some creative running

THE THANG: Split into 3 groups, was gonna be 4, but Tesh was late. Rotated at Esso's whistle. Band Camp's job was to travel the groups in reverse and …… "encourage" full completion of the exercises

Esso had arms
Shady had core
Slash had legs

It was pretty solid. We know this because Esso could barely move his arms after doing it 3 times, Shady has a massive F3 tramp stamp from the situps, and Slash actually worked out the full duration according to all accounts

MARY: Again Band Camp called more burpees.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
14th year convergence at WEP on 9/29

COT: We discussed why shield lock is important. AND that it may not work the first….or second….or third time you try to form one. A man leads from his shield lock, without it I'm not going to be the leader I'm capable of being.

It's kinda like having access to outside consultants who know what's up and are tasked with being honest to you even when you don't want it.
