Failure is fine

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered with our sandbags and left those for a quick mosey after a quick disclaimer. Came back for SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, cherry pickers.
THE THANG: Came back to our sandbags and took our carabiners and clipped the ends to each other. Put them on our shoulders and then walked VERY close to each other. Alternating shoulders as needed but honestly, this lasted about 200 yards before the Q realized this wasn’t shaping up as it was in his head. Along the way we did curls and then curls and overhead presses.

We then unclipped and did 10 manmakers. We then took our bags to the tiered area and partnered up at the bottom. 1 partner with a 40 and 1 with a 60.

Partner 1 took both sandbags to the top and partner 2 stayed at the bottom doing pushups. Once partner 1 got back, there was a flip flop. Rinsed and repeated this.

Did this again with dips (just 1 round) and finished with flutters but for flutters it was a farmer carry.

Headed back towards COT but stopped at the curb for another idea…that didn’t pan out. With 2 sandbags removed, each pax laid down with a sandbag held in a press and then passed it down the line (last 2 guys had no bag yet) and then the first 1 guy that passed the bag ran to the other end in an Indian run style plan. Again, idea was ok but execution wasn’t great.

Moral of the story today – have a plan, execute plan, adjust plan, move forward.
MARY: we spared a few min
ANNOUNCEMENTS: complete

Temps dropped a bit so the plan was to keep us moving to stay warm.

Moseyed to the playground. 1st exercise was Pull Ups, 2nd exercise was 4 count Wide Arm Merkins.

Moseyed to the loop behind the school. We were moving this morning so YHC had to improvise a ‘filler’ to kill some time. PAX made 3 trips around the loop, at the start and 1/2 way point we performed burpees Lap 1 – 2 burpees at each spot, Lap 2 – 4 burpees at each spot, Lap 3 – 6 burpees at each spot.
