COT: Great to have Cousin Eddie out for his 2nd post after FNG status last week. T-claps to Rebel for helping him launch well and to Cousin Eddie for giving Rebel some added purpose!

The workout today was inspired by Sprockets from F3Boone, who led a brick based workout 2 weeks ago. The intent today was to break out of our routine and to create an extra push and some accountability with a partner.

After 10yrs+ posting in The Gloom, I still find it tough to roll out of bed at 0430 most mornings. It’s easier than it once was but it’s NEVER easy! I know that I’ll get better if I post, but I’m also susceptible to the voice in my head saying “you need some sleep” or “you can still exercise on your own at 0600”. Either or both might be true on any given day, and when I’m focused on ME, then the odds of me giving into that voice are high. The key to rising early and posting with you, my brothers, is when I can focus outside of me and instead see YOU. I know how much I’ve needed you over the years, which reminds me that there are many mornings when you need someone else beside you in the Gloom. Making that choice to be that someone is always the extra push I need to get out the door. When I can surrender my self, my ego, my petty simple desires…that’s when I find that something extra — another gear, a purpose, inspiration, the Holy Spirit…whatever you call it for yourself. Surrender…give your morning for your brother…it’s a small sacrifice with a HUGE payoff.

Thanks to Kermit for the honor of leading the pax this morning!

Keep Posting!!!

WARMUP:

Got the WOD inspiration from Florida Georgia line day before while working the BoFlex. Board of Pain w/ acrostic SIMPLE.

Decided rk take 1 of 2 routes, hit WEP, run laps starting from playground OR run to QT and instruct the 12 to use discretion to stop, wait for 6 and execute BOP.

Rolling in and catching an earful of healthy mumblechatter, decided neither. We will run randomly to dimmly lit parking lots and execute BOP.

Ran up to the old Kimbrells for a little warmup.

– Low slow squat with a jump at the end. @darkhelmet informed me that it was called a squat jump

– imperial walkers

– shoulder taps

– stretches

THE THANG:

An arbitrary count if 15 for each exercise.

Board of pain:

S Shoulder taps
I Irkins
M Monkey Humpers
P Plank Jax
L Lunges
E Burpees (burpee has an E in it)

Run to 1887 Brewery, BOP

Run to the government building on the left on way back, BOP.  After much debate, no one knew what building it was and we found ourselves back at Kimbrells.

By then we started to spread out, causing more chaos.

Run down, take left at Amor and hit parking lot on left, BOP.

Per Jihnny Utahs request, hit Litte Caesars, BOP.

Run past COT, on left side of street, hit parking lot with kong brick wall, BOP.

Head back to COT for some Mary.

COT:

Quoting ZBB “ I have everything I need, nothing that I dont” was a pleasant reminder on being content and thankful for your blessings. Happiness is fleeting but joy is eternal.

Rather quiet, everyone’s life must be perfect.

NMS

I explained this was a clear demonstration how not to Q a workout.

You need to be flexible and know your PAX but you must be able to articulate clearly amidst the chaos of the gloom especially with the strong mumbkechatter hell bent on throwing you off and distracting you.

I personally wouldn’t have it any other way and am thankful for the PAX that showed and their relentlessness. Blessed to have this brotherhood in my life and always am appreciative to serve at BP.

Shout out to the originator, Jekyll. He started this many years ago. Each week during the month of June, he would q this workout at Laces. Pax would show each week trying to get better each week.

I have a love hate relationship with this workout.
1. First workout I posted to in the Fort (many yrs ago)
2. 2nd workout I brought Shady to. He hated me for a few days after
3. First workout I q’d after my heart attack (2 yrs ago). The one and only time I believe Pax allowed the Q to clipboard Q.

Bricks or Burdens

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey around parking lot twice mixing in buttkickers, high knees, & shuffles. Circled up and performed WindMills in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, CherryPickers in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo, Moroccan KC in cadence x 10, 3 burpees oyo, Merkins in cadence x 5, 3 burpees oyo
THE THANG: Everyone was instructed pick up bricks out of the back of my car. PAX were instructed to hold onto those bricks for the entire workout.
1st Round – While lunge walking 10 yards PAX had to raise bricks out to the side with each lunge. Once we reached our 10 yard destination we performed 10 Bomb Jacks with bricks. Did this for 5 stations.
Round #2 – Jack Webb – 2 exercises with 1:4 ratio concluding at 10:40. Exercises were Merkins on bricks and Overhead Claps with bricks.
Round #3 – Same stations we used for the previous lunge walk were used to perform a Burpee Suicide ladder. Starting line – 1 burpee, run to first station 1 burpee, run back to starting line 1 burpee, run to 2nd station 2 burpees, back to starting line 1 burpee, so forth and so on, 5 staions.
Round #4 – Supermans with Bricks – Lay on your stomach, performed 10 sec holds in 4 different positions -Superman, Field Goal, Airplane, Ripcord. Once PAX had a good understanding of the positions we went through them again with a 7 second hold and no breaks in between positions.
Round #5 – Indian Run with Bricks 3 times around the parking lot. If you’ve never ran with bricks you are missing a real treat.
Round#6 – Same routine as the 1st round, but with backward lunges as travel mode and instructed to raise bricks straight ahead, at each station PAX were instructed to sit in the Al Gore position with bricks raised to the front and perform 10 pulses. JWOW’s form was noticeable!!!
Round#7 – Circle up and get on your 6. Completed 25 toe touch crunches with bricks in cadence, 20 reverse crunches in cadence, 15 V-Ups with Bricks, and then 20 oyo WindShield Wiper leg raises. DONE!!!
