Sweet and Spicy at The Fort

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Peach Stand started us off with the warmup of SSH, Imperial Walkers, and possibly a few others gone from memory.

THE THANG 1:
PeachStand instructed Pax to pick a rock from the piles behind the amphitheater (and to choose wisely).
The “thang” was a ladder to “9”, starting with 8 Mike Tysons right behind the amphitheater, and 1 bomb jack at the entrance of the parking lot (up the hill). The mode of transportation running (or walking briskly) with our coupon held straight over our heads. Harry Carry did more running than anyone (perhaps even more than the rest of us combined).

THE THANG 2:
YHC took over and educated the Pax on the rules of a Webb-o-rama. 4 cones set up along path in front of the amphitheater. On each cone were 2 exercises to be done in Jack Webb style (1:4 ratio)
Cone 1- 1 6-count Burpee : 4 SSH
– >> Bear crawl to next station
Cone 2 – 1 Big boy sit up : 4 American Hammers
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 3 – 1 Knee tar N’Diaye : 4 Squats
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 4 – Traditional Jack Webb –
– >> Run Around parking lot, up the hill to the entrance, then back to first station
Instead of doing all 10 reps at once, we broke it up into 3 rounds.
Round 1: 1-5
Round 2: 6-8
Round 3: 10 (skipped 9 since we ran out of time).

Great work done by all men. Thanks for the chance to lead, JWOW.

The Board of Pain isn’t that hard. It isn’t completable in 45 minutes. But it ain’t about finishing, it’s about seeing how far you can go!

You:
– Show up
– Put forth the effort
– Share suffering amongst the PAX
– Build camaraderie
– Teach yourself that
– You can take on challenging tasks
– You will improve
– You accelerate when other men are striving alongside you

There are plenty of harder workouts. But the Board is doable by ALL MEN. Be present and try; that’s all it takes! You don’t have to get far; you just have to go.

How is it in our lives that we have a problem and the solution is the same? Be present and try

We ain’t getting it all done today, but today’s effort still matters!

WARMUP: Mosey to the swing & do an exercise
In c cadence all the way around the park – 9 stations, 9 exercises – .6 miles. Warmup complete

THE THANG: At the hill behind the restroom building – 10 squats at the bottom every time back down. Shuttle run to each light pole for 10 of a particular type of Merkin and return to the bottom for squats. Regular – pole 1, Diamond- pole 2, Wide arm – pole 3, Regular – Pole 4, Diamond – Pole 5. Plank for the 6 and on to the adjacent parking lot after a 10 count.

Soccer field parking lot – 7’s – Diamond merkins and Mike Tyson’s. Bear crawling and lunge walking were the suggested MOT’s.

After a ten count – we went to the infamous hill at the back of WEP for a Jacobs Ladder of 11’s.
Burpees at the bottom, nur up the hill, lunges at the top and jog back down. Repeating until pax had gotten their fill.

With 10 minutes or so to go, we moseyed together in reverse and, at each swing, an exercise was called in cadence. We arrived at the final swing at 0728 giving us 2 minutes to get to COT and arrive promptly at 0730.

MARY: No sir. Open to all men.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Were announced. And they’re in your newsletter too.

COT: Is and always will be the 5th core principle.

JWOW – thanks for the call. Always honored to lead. :eye:

Kettlebells: The Great American Pastime

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mountain climbers, overhead claps, merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Mozy to the adjacent parking lot where bases and cones were setup to form a baseball field. (Happy Hour’s and my son play on the same baseball team). Each base in baseball has a number associated with it. In order from 1-9, those are pitcher, catcher, first, second, third, shortstop, left field, center, and right field.
Starting at pitcher we did one rep then moved to catcher for two reps, first base for three reps and on and on until we got to left field for nine reps. One full round of the bases is 45 reps. Transportation of kettlebells alternated between farmers carry and overhead carry.
We started with goblet squats then moved on to kettlebell swings. We then got a 6/4/3 double play of flutters with a press. After the double play we resumed our base walking with clean & presses, then the next round was upright rows. For thoroughness, these two rounds we did left handed and right handed.
After the clean/press the Pax called for a 7th inning “stretch” so we did a few honeymooners and downward dogs before resuming. A brief rendition of “Take me out to the ballgame” was heard but thankfully didn’t last long.
Next round was curls and with limited time remaining, we did 20 tricep extensions with everyone at a base of their choice. When it was all totaled up, we were just short of 350 reps.
Not sure if everyone had fun, but everyone now knows that right field is #9!
MARY: skipped it
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Fast Five, newsletter
COT: Family and friend’s health
