The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

Leave a comment

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

We moseyed to the bottom of the steep hill.

THE THANG:
Thang 1 – Welsh Dragons
Starting at the bottom of the hill, Bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 1 merkin, 1 plank jack, and 1 shoulder tap (R + L =1). Repeat, adding 1 rep to each exercise each time—bear crawl forward 4 steps, then do 2 merkins, 2 plank jacks, and 2 shoulder taps. Repeat until you reach 10 reps or the top of the hill. We didn’t make it to the top so Nur to the top.

Mosey to the basketball courts.

Thang 2 – Wilt Chamberlains
Named for Wilt Chamberlain’s NBA record 100-point game. Starting at one baseline do 100 LBCs, then run to the opposite baseline and do 100 squats. Return to the first baseline to do 100 flutter kicks (R+L =1), and then run to opposite baseline and do 100 lunges (50 each leg).

Thang 3
Using the Parking spaces start at one end, Bear Crawl 2 lines do 1 Merkin, Crawl Bear 1 line and do 12 squats. Bear Crawl 2 lines do 2 Merkins, Crawl Bear 1 line and do 11 squats. Repeat until you do 12 Merkins an 1 squat. My math was off so we finished 10 and 2 or something like that.

This is the workout that happened at slow burn today

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, hb walkers, imp walkers, Abe vigotas, plank time, Peter Parkers
THE THANG: the road along the storefronts has 4 crosswalks starting at one end, we ran suicides, with the crosswalks serving as successive end points. Each time we hit one of those end points, we did merkins and mountain climbers, and each time we returned to start we did big bois and flutters

Rep count for each exercise was 5 the first time through, then 10, then 15 and we got part way into 20s when time expired.

I often wonder what the people sitting at the Tesla charging station think while they’re sitting there adjacent to our tom foolery. And if any of them haven’t returned because of us. In all honesty, being held captive to whatever madness is going on around you during your charging is 1% in the con column of any of my EV buying decisions. But I digress

NMM
Training in less than optimal conditions builds resiliency and prepares you for sub-optimal situations in the future. Sure this workout would have been more palatable in the Spring, but we did what had to be done in the conditions that we had, and we’re all better because of it. I’m sure there’s a life lesson in there.

Thanks for the opportunity this morning. I hope this is the hardest thing you do all day.

Bad Decisions on Gardenia

Leave a comment

Been a while since Q’ing and not in my best shape but felt like we all needed a kick in the teeth and had some bad ideas…

WARMUP: Sasquatch and YHC ran about 2.5 mile pre-run down Dave Gibson, past school, and up around Walmart.

THE THANG:
Head towards Gardenia hill in Baxter ~1.5miles…

Monkey humpers on 160 until a couple cars passed… maybe 20 IC

Every quarter mile stop for IC exercises that stacked….
merkins then add LBCs then add LSS then add SSH

At bottom of Gardenia come up with a lot of bad ideas….

all you got to the top then struggle through some IC SSH for the 6

Mosey to bottom

Nur back up to first light pole then IC SSH for 6

Bear crawl to next light pole then IC MNC for 6

All you got to the top then IC SSH for the 6

Return to COT with stops every quarter mile for stacked IC exercise

SSH then add LSS then add LBCs then add Merkins

MARY: IC IWs, IC Freddie’s, IC AHs

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Schweaty Barry 7PM July 22

COT: Yup

Bad things happen all the time – keep a positive attitude always and those around you will be better off
