Black Diamond is uncovered at The Stockade

Warm-up began with short mosey to church parking lot. Some pax were lucky enough to carry a sandbag. Teams of three were formed, luckily we had just enough to form six teams. Seven rounds of exercises, team members rotated to each exercise. The first exercise (motion) acted as the clock. Once complete, rotate to next exercise.

Round Motion Exercise 1 Exercise 2
1 Run to church Squat with SB SSHs
2 Sandbag carry H/R Merkin LBCs
3 Inch Worm merkins Flutter/press Calf Raise
4 Sandbag toss Shoulder Taps Jump Squats

Great job everyone!

Importance of Running Backwards

WARMUP: Plank-updog-downdog-merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-shoulder taps; Plank-updog-downdog-peter parker; Plank-updog-downdog-plank jacks; Plank-updog-downdog-diamond merkins; Plank-updog-downdog-other variety of dynamic plank work and so on and so on
THE THANG: Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Partner merkins x20, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x15; Windmill merkins x10, flutter kicks x20, partner leg throws x10 — a little extra Mary mixed in.
Mosey to the apartments- complete dynamic warmup including hamstring sweeps, walking RDLs, deep lunge walks, toy soldiers, high knees, butt kicks; BACKWARDS sprints up the hill towards the fire station x4; Last sprint was a challenge- each pax had to surpass their previous stopping point before tagged by YHC, otherwise the group was subject to an unknown penalty (probably burpees)… no one will ever know because the threat of penalty motivated everyone to sprint backwards that much faster!
We discussed THE IMPORTANCE OF RUNNING BACKWARDS at COT. If you’re getting some miles in with your fellow pax and they’re dogging it for whatever reason, it’s important to be able to run backwards faster than they’re progressing forwards, look them in the eyes, and say whatever motivating (or demeaning) statement to give them a kind gut check! SkateOrDie knows this too well from YHC.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres tonight!
COT: Beaker’s son turns 4 today. Prayers for physical and mental illness among the pax. Prayers/praise for Halfshell’s boys heading to camp.

All about Mark’s Ass

This morning started innocently enough. Good group of PAX showed up and as we were about to get started Change Order mentions his butt was sore from all the squats and lunges yesterday. So we mosey over to behind the tire shop to warm up. He immediately says he’s not sure he can do step ups on the wall so we start with windmills…then do step-ups. It all pretty much went downhill from here. Series of exercises using the wall: windmills, step-ups, SSHs, derkins, squats, inkerins, mtn climbers, more step-ups, overhead claps. From there mosey to the far end behind the center, past the ever-ripe dumpsters, for some shredder sets.

First set – 10 hand release merkins, 9 mtn climbers, 8 hr merkins, 7 mtn climbers…..down to 1 mtn climber then finish with 10 hr merkins.
2nd set – Legs, more Change Order mumblechatter: 10 squats, 9 lunges, 8 squats…..1 lunge then 10 squats.
3rd set – 10 hello dollies, 9 freddie mercs, 8 hello dollies….1 freddie merc then 10 hello dollies. Keep feet off ground for entire sequence.

Mosey up to parking lot in front of church. Series of cards on far end of lot. Each card has a group exercise and a hold exercise. While 1 PAX runs to get card, rest of PAX do the hold exercise. Then when PAX returns we do the group exercise. Group exercises were 10 burpees, 15 diamond merkins, 15 jump squats, etc while hold exercises were plank punches, squats, SSHs, etc. However it worked out the first couple of cards were mostly leg exercises so Change Order was really happy to talk about his ass soreness some more. Finished a round of this and then moseyed back to COT for a few abs. A little light on the miles today but we got in everything else. Thanks for the opportunity to lead today Slow Jams!
