Staying Warm at The Ranch

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSHx30InCadence, run to the front of the school with buttkickers, high knees, and karoake on both sides.
THE THANG: Arrived at the front of the school after warmups and quickly started to work.
Round #1 – 4 sets – Leg Day HIIT – Complete rep count of 1st exercise and then move right into the 2nd exercise and continue until time is called. Each set is 1 minute with 10sec of rest after the 1st set, then 15sec after the 2nd, and so on.
1st exercise was BSSx10 each leg
2nd exercise was Alt Jumping Lunges

After 4 sets were completed of the above we moseyed to one of the back parking lots behind the school.
Round #2 – Started on one end of the lot and made it to the other end by bearcrawling 2 spaces forward- stop to perform 2 Diamond Merkins, then crawlbear one space back and perform 1 Diamond Merkin. Lots of grumbling as it was a longer parking lot than I remembered.
After completion of the above we moseyed to the playground Round #3 – Performed same routine as the 1st round but with different exercises.
1st exercise – 10xPullups
2nd exercise – V-Ups
After completion of the above we moseyed to the backside bus loop. Split the group into 3s.
Round #4 – Half the circle by placing 2 PAX on both sides, they both start to perform burpees. 3rd PAX on the team runs from PAX#1 to PAX#2. When he reaches PAX#2 the 3rd PAX stays put and starts to perform burpees while PAX#2 runs to PAX#1. Performed this routine for 7 minutes.

WARMUP: yes. you’d be crazy not to

THANG:

https://wodwell.com/wod/daniel/
(most finished in 35ish)

https://wodwell.com/wod/clovis/
(got in 1.5ish rounds, only 8.5 left to go…)

Was hard today. YHC is especially struck by 1st Lt. Clovis Ray leaving a job in investment banking at age 32 for an Army commission.

Prayers for those that still miss 1st Lt. Clovis Ray and SFC Daniel Crabtree at their Thanksgiving table every year.

Rally Round NaFo

Leave a comment

There’s something special about having 3 people posting together. The group is small enough to keep everyone together and it’s easier to have some meaningful conversation along the way. I really enjoyed my time with these guys this morning. IT was a cold one!
WARMUP: 10 SSH, Imperial Walkers, merkins, Mt. Climbers
THE THANG: A leisurely run around NaFo, We toured the campus while stopping at each feature to various exercises. At each stop we discussed Thankfulness and what our response should be to all that we are thankful for.
MARY: LBC, Flutters, dying cockroaches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter
COT: Prayers for all that we are thankful for!

1 minute in the Kitchen

Leave a comment

This was the first time Qing at TC Elem. Not the closest sight for me. Started with a mosey around the back with a couple stops for SSH, stretch, IW, HW more mosey. Get to bus drop off area for more warm up MNC, O/H Clap, merkin and Peter Parker. I came by earlier and dropped off sand bags and station cards.

We had 4 stations with 4 rounds. The thang was do each exercise for 1min and then move to the next station. Complete 4 stations = 1 Round. After each round a lap around the bus parking lot.

Round Sta 1. 2. 3. 4
1 – Curls. Merkin. Dips. LBC
2 – O/H Press. WAM. MH. Plank Jacks
3 – Curl/Hold. Diamond. Calf Raise. Plank Tucks
4 – Squat. CDD. SSH. Flutter

Mosey with bags back to front of school for Mary. Closed out with COT.

Thanks Maximus for the opportunity to lead and share the sandbags from an old AO “Normandy”. AO was an original at the complex and had a mix of Indian Land and FM guys. That is where my F3 journey started 10yrs.

Old & Grizzled

Leave a comment

Instead of giving a long disclaimer, I made the mistake of saying this was an old and grizzled group of vets. It pretty much went downhill from there. But in my defense we did average about 50% brace rate (knees, elbows. ankles, etc).

Anyway, short mosey around the lot then circle up for some warmups. Hillbilly walkers, 4 count squats (crowd favorite), mtn climbers, peter parkers, parker peters, MNCs.

Relocate over to near pull up bars. Partner up for lazy dora. 100 merkins: p1 does 10 while p2 holds plank. Switch back and forth until 100. 200 LBCs: p1 does 20 LBCs while P2 does 6″ leg hold. Switch back and forth until 200. 300 squats: p1 does 30 squats while p2 holds Al Gore. Switch back and forth until 300. 400 SSHs: p1 does 40 SSHs while p2 hangs on the pull up bar. Switch back and forth until 400.

I had more planned at front of school but based on time audibled to stay close to start point. Stay with same partner for partner burpees. P1 does burpee, then P2 does burpee, keep swapping back and forth up to 25 total then run to stop sign and back. 4 rounds (100 total). Finished up with 20 big boys and 20 flutters.

We may be old and grizzled but it was a really fun morning. Lots of mumble-chatter seemed to make time fly by. I appreciate all the old and grizzled as well as newer less grizzled guys we have in this group. Thanks Cake Boss for the opportunity to lead!

WARMUP: Mosey to pickup a few cones and headed around the back of the school, with some dynamic warmups (toy soldiers, karaoke) along the way. Stopping stop texting the parking lot in front of the school for some more warmups: SSH, Windmill, Merkins, SSH, Imperial Walkers all 10 count in cadence
THE THANG: Mosey to a corner of the band practice field (parking lot) and provided instruction:
– Burpee Broad Jump 40 yards, sprint to opposite end zone
– Bear crawl from sideline to sideline
– Lunge Walk 49 yards, sprint to opposite end zone
– Bear crawl from sideline to sideline
– Rinse and repeat (reduced burpee broad jumps to 20 yards)
– Rinse and repeat (reduced burpee broad jumps to 10 yards)
– Mosey to first cone for plank waterfall (each PAX completes a 10 count in succession – TapOut is apparently not learning how to count properly in school as his 10 counts last about 48 seconds
– Mosey to the second cone and complete a side plank waterfall (flip in the middle)
– mosey to school entrance looking for cameras to do some monkey humpers – no cameras..no monkey humpers, but we did use the benches for dips, Derkins, step ups and box jumps – all 10 count OYO
– Mosey to side of gym for wall sits and a few 10 counts (yep – TapOut can’t count at a normal speed) and burpees for good measure
-Mosey back to COT (returning the borrowed cones along the way) to run out the clock doing some Mary (flutters, weezie Jefferson’s, and the crowd fav: body destroyers)

MARY: see above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: poker, bourbon (?), and Christmas party (??) – just read the newsletter
COT: travel, world events, good decisions, new opportunities
