Don’t fear the Reaper!

Rubber Ducky brought a full body pain session. Barkley showed up, “as always” his shield lock may have differing opinions. A contingent of marathon runners came by to see how the other side lives and said bell swingers are crazy. I even heard Band Camp contemplating his bell choices.

Google it…

I promised a workout that was simple yet effective… and that was my plan.

Also No Burpees!!

Started with an extended mosey to the “Badlands” Library. There’s even a book named in his honor there!

After that Moseyed to the corner in between First Watch and Cyclebar.

Did 20 HR Merkins and 20 Toe Touches. Then ran up to 160…turned right… turned right again then made another right… ending right back where we started for just about a .25 loop.

Then we did 19 Hr Merkins and 19 Toe touches.

So the plan was to continue the loops reducing the reps by one each time.

So at this point it became a you Vs. you. 33 minutes later…everyone was well over 3 miles and had their fill of merkins.

Simple… effective… Ocham’s Razor.

Thanks for the opportunity! Always appreciate the chance to start 1-0.

👊👊👊

Changing Seasons at Bushwood

9 Pax landed at Bushwood for a balmy November in the Fort. YHC reviewed previous Bushwood backblasts and found my Bushwood VQ from 2021 and decided to bring it back.

One thing I noticed from the backblast was the enthusiasm that I had for the being the Q. The world was beginning to come out of the global pandemic and the fellowship of the Pax provided much needed energy for me to deliver a beatdown. It was the closing of a season and nearing the end of a time of chaos across the globe that will shape our world forever. As I read it in my current mindset, I questioned my current season and the current chaos that surrounds me at this moment. There will always be chaos. YHC will always be going through seasons. Seasons of adversity and challenges and seasons of growth and positivity. Reading the backblast from 2021 was a good reminder of this.

Warmup:

The pax moseyed to the band lot for the following:

SSH x 30 (YHC got off to a rocky start on the cadence here)
IW x 15
Mtn climbers x 15
Peter Parkers x 15

Mosey to CRHS for Line of Fire

1 pax runs back and forth from the tower while the rest of the pax rotate exercises including:

Merkins
Squats
Mtn climbers
Burpees

Next round

LBCs
Flutters
Hello Dollies
Big boy sit ups

Mosey to front of CRHS and partner up

Partner 1 – Balls to wall
Partner 2 – Shoulder taps x 20
Rinse and repeat x 3

Next round
Partner 1 – Peoples chair
Partner 2 – monkey humpers x 20
Rinse and repeat x 3

Mosey to driveway
Bear crawl to 10 CDDs
Lunge back to 20 squats
Rinse and repeat 3 times

Mosey back to Line of Fire
Final round split between abs and shoulder work

Mosey home

During the workout, we discussed seasons of life and the examination of what season you are in with your M, your 2.0s, friends and work. It is important to put guardrails around a season of adversity for Mammon so that it does not affect your M and 2.0s. Its an ongoing struggle for me with work.

We closed with vulnerability and leadership across all of the Pax on their season, their prayers and their praises. All 3 Fs were covered today at Bushwood and YHC leveraged this energy throughout the day.

50 for 50

WARMUP: Yes, some of the usual
THE THANG: A circle of 5 stations of 10 reps each with bell. after each station we traveled to the center point and back in varying modes (lunges, bear crawls, etc). Total of 50 reps per circuit represented 50 yrs of pain as a Tecas Rangers fan, heading into Wolrd Series game 1 later on 10/27.

we made it through 4+ circuits.

NOTE: this is posted 10 days later and Rangers are champs!!

COT: Thanks to pax for posting to only my 2nd KB Q. Good to connect with new faces Liberty Bibberty, Wooden Leg and Rubber Ducky and to see Rolloff back out in the Gloom.

thanks for the Q stick Happy Hour. you were missed!
