Bushwood Casino – Suplex dealing…

WARMUP: MOTIVATOR, Windmills, Imp.-Walkers

THE THANG:
:black_joker: Texas Hold ’Em Beatdown Rules
Setup:
– Regular deck of cards. Assign each suit to an exercise:
– Hearts → Merkins Diamonds → Squats
– Clubs → Big Boy Sit-Ups Spades → Jump Squats
– Number = reps (face cards = 10, Ace = 11, Joker = Q’s Choice)
– Change Exercises for Each Round…
– All Pax do exercises for Flop/Turn/River. Folding = 5-10 of “ante-exercise”. Betting (w/ IOU of ante-exercise reps) proceeds as with regular Texas Hold ’em. Upon the showdown (post-River card), everyone “Pays up”. Winner calls out easier/alt. exercise for himself & the pax that pay up w/ time to spare (until the 6 is up)

Round 2 & 3 (same as above… new exercises)
Hearts:CDD / Shakira

Quotes shared w/ Pax throughout the workout (Common theme of paying your debts):
Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”

Marcus Aurelius – Meditations 6.30
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.”
(And if you said it—do it.)

Seneca – On Anger, Book III
“A promise is a debt.”

John Wooden (legendary coach):
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are.”

George Washington:
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
(Good company pays their IOUs.)

F3 Lexicon – Freed to Lead
“Your word is your bond. If you said it, own it. If you owe it, do it.

THE THANG:
Do Overs

I created the MXC – Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Form teams of 3. Split work among the team. Complete Groups I and II separately. In between sets in the group, do the mode of transportation before the next set.
After Groups I and II are complete, farmer carry bell to the top of Bob Jones Stadium road and back

Group I
Mode of transport: Bear Crawl to cones and back
5 – Manmakers
10 – Curls
15 – Goblet Squats
20 – Bentover Rows
25 – Chess Press on 6
20 – Renegade Rows (1x)
15 – Flutters, Bell High (2x)
10 – Tris
5 – Manmakers

Mode of transport: run block around parking lot
20 reps
1. Deadlift
2. Shoulder Press
3. Cleans (1x)
4. Swings
5. Lunges
6. Snatches

Farmer Carry to top of hill and back

After challenge was complete, I asked teams for time. 15-20 minutes was average.

I gave the team a “do over” and the challenge was to be repeated but faster.

COT: You were given a second chance. How will you use? What will you do better? Get a faster time. what bad event happened to you: layoff, parenting, divorce. What will you do differently next time?

Improvements: I would shorten the bear crawl distance and bell carry distance.

Music: The Killers – Hot Fuss
