Practicing Moderation in Moderation

WARMUP: SSH, CASBAH #2s, IW,HW, Baby Arm Circles fed &back.
THE THANG: Squat Line Meat Grinder
Teams: 2 teams, 5 men per team
Space: Parking lot 40yd length
Gear:
• 2 identical stacks of 8 exercise cards (one per team)

Objective
First team to burn through their entire stack AND complete the final center-line sandbag pass wins.
Flow
1. Both teams start at their stack on opposite ends.
2. On “GO!” flip top card → whole team completes the written exercise together (same reps, no sandbagging).
3. As soon as the rep is done, the entire team sprints together to the center line.
4. Drop into a tight shoulder-to-shoulder wall squat (asses low, no one stands).
5. End man grabs the sandbag off the ground and the line passes it hand-to-hand all the way down and all the way back while staying in squat.
→ One full down-and-back = complete pass

1. When the pass is done, team sprints back together to their stack, flips next card, repeat.
2. After the last card is completed, team still runs to center ONE MORE TIME and does a final victory pass.
3. First team to finish that final pass wins.

Lots of Lightposts

Five men showed up on a crisp morning right before sunrise. We moseyed out to the main road stopping at each light pole for an exercise. The rep count was low so we focused on good form. We headed back to the school performing exercises at each lightpole back to the main lot.
With five minutes remaining, we repeated multiple rounds of dips, Mike Tyson’s, and wall taps.
Great job guys!
