No Rep Count

Leave a comment

Simple 4 Corner workout, 3 exercises at each cone, rep count started at 5. Original plan was to add 5 reps each lap, but a read a quote from Ali. “I don’t count my sit-ups; I only start counting when it starts hurting because they’re the only ones that count.”

1st cone
– Squats
– Lunges
– Calf raises
– Farmer Carry/Bear Crawl to next cone
2nd cone
– Bent over row
– Upright row
– Curl
– Overhead carry to next cone
3rd cone
– Flutter with press
– American Hammer
– Simba
– Sandbag toss with Man Maker
4th cone
– Dead Lift
– Clean
– Clean w/press
– Rifle Carry

We made it through about 3 rounds.

BHAG at the Hive

Leave a comment

YHC was making up for a missed Q two weeks ago due to sickness. As I was reviewing previous backblasts, I came up with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal for the workout to circle the entire FMHS while carrying the KB with pain stations along the way. I hadn’t seen it done so that was the plan.

Weather was perfect. Felt like an early Fall and time for college football.

WARMUP:

SSH x 10
Windmills x 10
Merkins x 10
Arm Circles x 10

THE THANG:

With the BHAG of circling the school, which is approximately 1.5 miles, we moseyed stopping (4) times for the following:

21 KB swings
18 Upright rows
15 Goblet squats
12 Curls
9 Tricep extensions
6 Manmakers

MARY:

Finished at the end with a circuit of the following:

LBCs
Flutters

WARMUP: Quick lap of the parking lot then windmills, squats, light stretching
THE THANG: As the newly appointed (and very temporary Site Q) we did a mozy out of the parking lot and hung multiple rights to get to the parking lot behind Hobos for some four corners.
Pax to complete all exercises at each corner then do a full lap around the parking lot before getting to the next corner. Corners broken out as:
– Upper body (20 reps each) Merkins, CDDs, Dips, Shoulder taps
– Lower body (20 reps) Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs (20 reps) Big boy sit-ups, American hammers, Flutter circles, Box cutters
– Full body (20 reps) Burpees, SSH, Mike Tyson’s, Single-leg merkins

Mozy to the parking lot across from what used to be the Hardee’s. (Kimbrell’s) Pax planked up for 4 plank-jacks, Mountain climbers, Shoulder taps, Superman’s. Rinse and repeat for reps at 4, 8, 16, 32.

Since we were in downtown Fort Mill, we did a quick history lesson on why the town has its name. (We are located half way between a British fort built to protect the Catawba Indians and Webb’s Mill). In honor of the town’s founding in 1873, we did 18 Merkins then ran down to the bottom of Main Street for 73 SSH.

We had about 5 minutes left at that point, so we did a mozy back to COT.
MARY: About 2 minutes worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel, Grow Ruck, H.I.M. Camp
COT: Family, Health, Marriages

Three lessons and……burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to Kimbrell’s parking lot. The following exercises in candence with burpees in between.

Windmills
Cherry Pickers
Imperial Walkers
Hillbilly Walkers
Seal Jacks
Side Straddle Hops

THE THANG: Mosey to the site formerly known as Footloose

Lesson 1 – Treat the body rigorously so it does not fail the mind.

Partner DORA – 50 burpees, 100 squats, 150 flutter kicks

Mosey to the top of the hill at the parking lot on Monroe White for lesson 2.

Lesson 2 – You have power over your mind, not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.

7’s in the lot – Burpees on one end, NUR to the other lunges on the opposite end. Note – Tesla is fast.

Mosey to Print Shop parking lot for LBC’s in cadence and rosalitas in cadence.

Mosey to the Millstone downtown. Touch the Millstone and do two burpees.

Mosey to the Parking Lot on Massey for Lesson 3

Lesson 3 – You should not give circumstances the power to rouse anger. For they do not care at all.

19 merkins of different types at each light pole.
This idea looked better on paper than in reality and the 559 bell rang while in the midst of attempting completion of these. PAX headed back to COT to make the 0600 deadline.

MARY: Was left at the Print Shop
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many – read your newsletter
COT: always the 5th core principle

Cubbie – thanks for the call. Always a privilege to lead.
