Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer and light jog to the space between Walgreens and Jersey Mikes for COP
THE THANG:
COP (all in cadence): SSH x 25, Squat x 25, Mountain climber x 25, Freddie Merc x 20, LBC x 25, Windmill x 10, Diamond merkin x 15, back and shoulder stretch LH/RH, Jump squats x 20
Make a loose formation and mosey to the HT lot near the brick landscaping wall on the left side of the lot. The Pax stopped 4 times and did 5 burpees at each stop on the way to the wall.

At the wall, we did 11’s. Decline merkins and dips OYO (crowd pleaser).

Mosey about 20 yards from the wall and plank it up facing the wall. Hold plank/6″/elbow plank while the Pax, one by one, ran to the wall, did 3 box jumps or step-ups, and ran back.

Mosey to a section of striped lot across two rows and side shuffle along the striped rows in a zipper fashion for 6-7 rows. At the end of each row, do a burpee. Al Gore for the 6. Rinse and repeat back to the start, substituting bomb jacks.

Mosey to the small grassy area next to the landscaping wall for a traditional Jack Webb (1:4, merkins and overhead claps to 10)

Mosey to COT for Mary.

Whew – summer’s coming. There’s much more sweat today than in the past few weeks. We hit the shoulders hard today with the 11’s and Jack Webb’s. I think those will be felt tonight. Great to see <@U07TVBVVC3X> today and looking forward to his V-Q next week at GC. Everyone put out a great effort today, and it’s always a pleasure to lead the Pax at <#C02PFBMMZL6> – one of my favorite AO’s of The Fort! Thanks again for the Q-spot <@U01CGBKBQ64>

Winging it at the Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick mozy then mountain climbers, Moroccan Night Clubs, CDD and for the crowd pleaser….SSH
THE THANG: Due to technology issues, the scheduled Q wasn’t there so we winged it and the backblast is unlikely to be fully accurate. I probably should have completed this backblast right after the workout but, oh well.
After warmup we jogged to the side of the Harris Teeter for wall sits. The Pax took turns bear crawling out and doing five merkins while the others stayed “seated”. Burpees then followed the merkins.
Mozy to just in front of the Dollar Store for 11s. We took requests and Senator suggested Diamond merkins and Kermit chose bomb jacks. Laps went from the Dollar Store to the Indian restaurant at the other side of the parking lot.
Once completed, we returned to the side of HT for BTW countdowns, overhead claps and likely other stuff I don’t immediately remember.
With time remaining, we did mini 7s running from the side of HT to the other side of the street. (Again, I’m not recalling what exercises we did but we took requests for inclusivity)
With a few minutes remaining we returned to COT for boxcuttahs, hello Dollys and flutters.
Despite no actual plan, it turned out to be a good beatdown and everyone got something out of it.
MARY: Yep
ANNOUNCEMENTS: All the usual stuff
COT: Kermit’s friend and her health, quality time with kids.

YHC was humbled by the opportunity to Q at the Stockade. This week I have been revisiting old BBs from Rock Hill in anticipation of my Q there this weekend. I stumbled on to the 1 year anniversary Q by Dredd and OBT which included (4) Dirty McDeuce by OBT along with some vulnerability about his recent deceleration of his fitness.

Jack Webb 1:4 merkin/plank jack until we hit 36 plank jacks.
Mosey to COT. Jack Webb 1:4 CDD/air press (kinda sucked especially on the knees). Mosey to church. DORA – 100-merkins 100-squats 50-Burpees. Partner loop was mode of transport.

Kettlebells: The Great American Pastime

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mountain climbers, overhead claps, merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Mozy to the adjacent parking lot where bases and cones were setup to form a baseball field. (Happy Hour’s and my son play on the same baseball team). Each base in baseball has a number associated with it. In order from 1-9, those are pitcher, catcher, first, second, third, shortstop, left field, center, and right field.
Starting at pitcher we did one rep then moved to catcher for two reps, first base for three reps and on and on until we got to left field for nine reps. One full round of the bases is 45 reps. Transportation of kettlebells alternated between farmers carry and overhead carry.
We started with goblet squats then moved on to kettlebell swings. We then got a 6/4/3 double play of flutters with a press. After the double play we resumed our base walking with clean & presses, then the next round was upright rows. For thoroughness, these two rounds we did left handed and right handed.
After the clean/press the Pax called for a 7th inning “stretch” so we did a few honeymooners and downward dogs before resuming. A brief rendition of “Take me out to the ballgame” was heard but thankfully didn’t last long.
Next round was curls and with limited time remaining, we did 20 tricep extensions with everyone at a base of their choice. When it was all totaled up, we were just short of 350 reps.
Not sure if everyone had fun, but everyone now knows that right field is #9!
MARY: skipped it
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fast Five, newsletter
COT: Family and friend’s health
