Sparty Start

Short mosey run

Warmup: SSH (20xI/C); windmills; Imperial Walkers; Moroccan N/C; Low Slow Sqts; big arm circles; peter parkers; plank stretches

Thang 1: Mini-Spartan:
Start at bottom of hill, run up to pull up bars, do 10 pull-ups, then out to the street and crawl under the barbed wire (2 wires), then farmers carry cinder blocks about 100 feet out and back, drop blocks, back to the bars and do 10 toes-to-bar, run back to bottom of the hill and rinse/repeat.

Barbed wire detail:
Two cinder blocks staked horizontally, string a cargo strap across to another stack of two cinder blocks.

Place a second set of barbed wire ten feet further down. Two-block height worked well in my opinion, it’s a real crawl underneath and not a bear crawl. Top view:

IronPAX week -1???

WARMUP: lots of stuff to get everyone loose
THE THANG: Cindies at the bottom of the hill by elementary school.
Called 11s on the hill with Manmakers at the bottom and Leg lifts over your head at the top while holding onto your block behind you for an anchor. 10 Manmakers at bottom to start so the bad stuff only gets less

Had to cut short around 3/8 or 4/7 for most so we could get back to COT and do about 8 min of cooldown and stretching.

We don’t stretch enough after working out. It would be one thing if guys hung out after a workout and stretched but we usually want to rush off or stand around and talk. Instead of trying to fill the last 5 min with random pain or Mary around the circle call some stretches. At most of our ages it probably would benefit more than the 5 min of exercises you squeeze in.

Cha-Ching’s Legacy

So, https://f3thefort.com/2020/01/17/black-diamond-at-the-one-word-convergence/, because they guy would lay ridiculous beatdowns. And there’s just no need to reinvent the wheel. It’s already round and works really well (that’s also my Naked Man Moleskin). Plus that’s part of why we write the backblasts!
WARMUP: Yes, did that. Cha Ching didn’t, and I needed more warm-up. If you can’t do it, don’t Q it! FTC showed up late; so, he missed it.

THE THANG:
Cha Ching warmup:
EMOM
min 1 – 20 burpees (this was hard, counted them in cadence)
min 2 – 30 jumping lunges
min 3 – 40 penguins
min 4 – 50 carolina dry docks
min 5 – 60 side straddle hops

then we mosey a bit
did some peruvian mountain climbers and bulgarian split squats on a bench
mosey some more
bear crawl a bit

That’s when we hit the Jack Webb:
1 Mack Tar Jai
4 Jump Squats
got to 7/28, then moseyed to pull up bars

Hung on the bars for a while
Did some knee ups
Did some super slow pull ups

Got close to COT and finished the Jack Webb set

Then we had 6 minutes left, so we did the Cha Ching EMOM “warm up” sequence again. It was rough

MARY: Last Call called flutters in cadence for the first time.
