KABOOM at Colosseum

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer only
THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: World’s shortest mosey (10yds), 5 Burpees, Mosey more, Shoulder Taps, Mosey more, SSH, Mosey more, Toy Soldiers, finish the Mosey to the back lot.
THE THANG: We had a circle of cones ~10yds out from the center cone. On the outside of the circle, we’d complete the round of exercises, 10 reps each, then bear crawl to the center cone for 2 wide-arm merkins, then crawl bear back to the outside circle and wait for the six.
Rd 1: 10 Carolina Dry Docks & 10 Peter Parkers
Rd 2: 10 Parker Peters & 10 Dips
Rd 3: 10 right side lunges & 10 left side lunges
Rd 4: 10 Slooooow Squats & 10 Jump Squats

Light Poles: This is something I’ve never done and had no idea how long it would take. Remember, not a pro and this is peer led.
Starting at the first light pole, run up two light poles, NUR back one, then 2 V-Ups.
From that point, run up two more light poles, NUR back one, 3 V-Ups.
Continue all the way up the hill to the 13th light pole, adding 1 more V-Up at each light pole.
Mosey back to the 1/2 wall I love so much and grab a partner.
Partner 1: 5 Over & Backs (more complicated than it should’ve been)
Partner 2: Burpees
Flapjack
As a group, 10 Muscle Ups.

10 Windmills IC
10 Hillbilly Walkers IC
10 LSS IC
10 MNC IC
10 Shoulder Taps IC
10 Merkins IC

THE THANG: Coach Pat Summit’s Definite Dozen
12 Stations. First round as a group, then OYO.
First Round: 10 reps each
Second Round: 20 reps each
Third Round: 30 reps each
1. Merkins – Respect yourself and others – There is no such thing as self-respect without respect for others.
2. Sumo Squats – Take Full Responsibility – There are no shortcuts to success.
3. LBC’s – Develop and Demonstrate Loyalty – Loyalty is unilateral. You have to give it to receive it.
4. Bomb Jax – Learn to be a great Communicator. – Communication eliminates mistakes.
5. Calf Raises – Discipline yourself so one else has to – Self-discipline helps you believe in yourself.
6. Pull Ups – Make hard work your passion. – Do the things that aren’t fun first and do them well.
7. Lunges – Don’t just work hard, work smart. – Success is about having the right person in the right place at the right time. Know your strengths, weaknesses and needs.
8. Wide Arm Merkins – Put the Team before yourself. – Teamwork doesn’t come naturally; it must be taught.
9. Big Boy Sit Ups – Make winning an attitude. – Combine practice with belief. Attitude is a choice. Maintain a positive outlook.
10. Seal Jax – Be a Competitor. – Competition isn’t social. It separates achievers from the average. You can’t always be the most talented person in the room, but you can be the most competitive.
11. Squats – Change is a Must – Change equals self-improvement. Push yourself to places you haven’t been before.
12. Carolina Dry Docks – Handle Success like you handle failure – You can’t always control what happens, but you can control how you handle it.

God often hides opportunities to be faithful. Don’t miss them

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

Mosey around the parking lot admiring the new smooth pavement. Then some SSH, Windmill, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers & Hillbilly Walkers. Finishing with a mosey over to the band lot. Which it should be noted is not nicely newly repaved…

THE THANG:

Kind of a modified shuttle run design

From the end zone line, run to the other end zone and do one squat and run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, then run back.

Once back, run to the other end zone again, do one squat, bear crawl 10 yards, do 2 squats, bear crawl 10 yards and do 3 squats, then run back.

Continue doing this until you are doing 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 squats, each with a 10 yard bear crawl on the return (so the return run gets shorter each revolution).

I interspersed some of this with a brief discussion of the impact of walking in faith in my life. God often presents opportunities that appear as struggles or obstacles/setbacks in our life. He never promised life would be easy, but did promise it is for a purpose. Life life with a purpose and faith in a bigger picture, and often you will see in hindsight, those obstacles were the refiners fire preparing you for opportunities you never even imagined.

Hebrews 12.1 says “Let us run with endurance the race that is set before us.”
