Abs, Abs and more Abs + Communiation

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Lap around the Skillet, SSH, Windmills, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers
THE THANG: Since my shoulder is busted, it was time for some ab work. Line up on the goal line. Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 big boys. Run to the 20 yard line, add one more for 11 big boys. Do this all the way to the other end. 145 total big boys.
Come back the other way, we started on the goal line with 4 count flutters and then did the same thing, add an additional 4 count every 10 yards. By this time, most of us were toast, so starting at the 50 yrd line, we went down to 2-count flutters. 450 flutters total. Run around the parking. Then run suicides for the last 2:30.

Discussion was on Communication with our 2.0's and our M's. Lots of things that we need to do better, but it has to start with us. Be intentional with our communications with our 2.0's and M's. Remember that communication is a tool. Will we use that tool for good or evil?
MARY: Did you see that it was all abs this morning?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel!!!!! Get out and help!
COT: Mostly happened during our communication discussion.

Recess Time

Leave a comment

Disclaimer shared, The Yard Historian Minutes
WARMUP:
10 of each:
MNC
Wind Mills
Cherry Pickers
Hillbilly Walkers
Imperial Walkers

THE THANG:
4 Recess games of Yesterday

  • Game 1 — Red Light, Green Light: Everyone lines up on one end of the lot/field. Green Light = mosey/run. Yellow Light = walking lunges. Red Light = freeze and do 3 squats. If someone gets caught moving on Red Light: 3 burpees for everybody. Keep it moderate by making this more ridiculous than fast.
  • Game 2 — Four Square: Mark four corners roughly 20–30 yards apart. Each corner gets an exercise: 10 Merkins → 15 Squats → 20 LBCs → 10 Carolina Dry Docks. Travel between corners using different “playground transportation”: bear crawl for a short section, side shuffle, backward mosey, regular mosey. Complete 2–3 rounds.
  • Game 3 — Dodgeball Without the Dodgeball: Split into two teams on opposite sides. Q calls an exercise—plank, squat hold, Al Gore, etc. One PAX from each team races to the center and plays Rock-Paper-Scissors. Winner returns; loser does 5 reps of a called penalty exercise before returning. Next two PAX go. Completely unnecessary competition will naturally become extremely serious. 😂
  • Game 4 — Sharks & Minnows: One or two PAX are Sharks in the middle. Everyone else crosses the Yard. Tagged PAX do 5 squats + 5 Merkins and become Sharks. No tackling, diving or NFL combine nonsense—just tagging. Last Minnow standing gets absolutely nothing except bragging rights.

MARY:

  • Dips, Gas PUMPERS, Burpees, Heel Touch, Calf Raises, Merkins, LBCs variations

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Anniversary 9/29
COT:
Always stays in COT.

Hominy is tired, and he is improvising.

Leave a comment

I improvised this plan

Warmup exercises, slightly off from the normal warmup location.

Slow mosey around the grounds, around Lowe’s towards the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Stopped to do some extended planks, stopped to do a few exercises in cadence.

At the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Did an 80-160-240 DORA. Merkins. Squats. LBC.

I didn’t do burpees because I am fundamentally opposed to burpees in a moderate workout. However, before I finished explaining that, some PAX already cranked out a couple of burpees.

Bear crawl across the Chick-fil-a parking lot.

Mosey back to COT area.

Sevens. Calf raises on curb and merkins.

Mary. Peach Stand called Freddy Mercuries. Some others called a few exercises; I don’t remember which exercises anybody else called. I closed us out with an exercise right at 0600 on the dot.

COT. Peach Stand and Marty Byrde had to leave early. We were down to 5. What is said in COT stays in COT, but I can tell you that we shared some good stuff. Sometimes it’s easier to open up with a smaller number of PAX.

Blue Oyster Cult & Volleyball

Leave a comment

Music: Amazon Playlist (curated by Jim Cooke) “Blue Oyster Cult” The playlist is long. We just listened to the beginning.

Warmup:

  • Mountain Climbers
  • Big Boy Sit-ups
  • Imperial Walkers
  • Hillbilly Walkers
  • Windmills
  • LBC
  • Mosey a lap

Dora: 80-160-240

  • 80 Merkin
  • 160 Squat
  • 240 LBC

As each partner returns from their run, the partners pause. They take a volleyball and try to bump, set or hit back and forth until there is a fault. They may then add their number of successful touches in order to take away from their numbers.

Mosey a little bit.

Elevens.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: https://www.kcrg.com/2026/09/08/iowa-band-member-collapsed-heat-hawkeyes-football-game-taken-off-life-support/

  • healthy perseverance: Leaders are hardwired to push through discomfort, mask their pain, and show up for their people no matter the physical cost.
  • Where in your life are you pretending to the world that you are completely fine?
  • Vertical Accountability: relationship between you and the standard you hold yourself to.
  • Why is it so difficult for high-performing men to raise their hands and say, "I am hitting my limit, I need to sit this out"?
  • Horizontal Accountability: relationship with peers.
  • Are we actively looking at the faces of those around us, and able to see when someone is silently red-lining or are we too focused on our own performance?
