Cones and Reps at The Ranch

WARMUP: Quick mosey with a stop for mountain climbers, MNC, low slow squats
THE THANG: Mozy over to Springfield Middle School where we placed four evenly-ish spaced cones the length of the drop off before you get to the hill. From the start we ran to the first cone for 20 reps each of shoulder tap merkins, monkey humpers, box cuttahs, and plank jacks then ran back to the start. From there we ran to the second cone for dips, squats, flutters and Mike Tyson’s. Back to start then to cone three for CDD, bomb jacks, American hammers, SSH. Ran to start then on to cone four for merkins, calf raises, BBS, and burpees. (20 reps for each exercise at each cone)
Quick mozy back to start then we ran to the top of the hill and partnered up. At the top of the hill, each partner did three burpees then ran to opposite sides of the hill for 50 reps each of the selected exercise. After each exercise they ran back to the top for three burpees with their partner. Rinse and repeat with SSH, LBCs, Merkins, Squats, Overhead claps, CDD.
Mozy back to COT with a stop to pickup all the cones.

Grating of Cheese

We started the workout off this morning with some foreign concept…this thing called stretching, and the PAX dug it.

7s – Burpees and squats with a loop around the parking lot in between each set.

The Cheese Grater – This was a fan favorite this morning. It is similar to an Indian Run :running: but you are planking with bear crawls and pushups. It was terrible as Sir Charles says.

Dora: Partner 1 – 100 flutters, 200 Hello Dollies, and 300 LBCs. Partner 2 – Run a lap around CVS.

Back to COT for prayer slow and praises.

Prayers for Half Shell’s mom, Charlie Kirk, family, and country.

BHAG at the Hive

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

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
