Pendulums and clocks at Golden Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy to the corner of the HT parking lot then mountain climbers, merkins, CDD, Moroccan nightclubs, American hammers.
THE THANG: Mozy to the side of HT for wall sits. First person bearcrawls to the other side and does two burpees. Bearcrawls back. Each Pax goes once while others wall sit. Next round, everyone moves to plank position facing the wall. First person does 5 wall-tar-jai five then crawlbears to the other side for five merkins. Bearcrawls back. Rinse and repeat until all pax go once.
Mozy around back of HT and stop in front of the dumpster for three burpees. (Dumpster season not in full bloom yet, but it’s coming soon). Continue mozy through the neighborhood to the water fountain for pendulum 7s. Pax starts at top of the hill for big boy sit-ups and runs down (and back up) the hill to the fire department for Carolina dry docks. (6/1, 5/2, 4/3 etc.)
Once 7s completed, we 10-count walked to the fountain for clock merkins. Everyone starts at their own 6 o’clock and does 6 merkins. From plank position, side shuffle to 7 o’clock for 7 merkins. Rinse and repeat until we got to 12 o’clock. Due to limited time, we skipped 1 o’clock through 5 o’clock.
Mozy to COT.
MARY: not present. (Open to all men only)
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPs, blood drive, newsletter
COT: prayers for family health, end of school year

Jason Richards “Falcon”

Leave a comment

13 PAX + Falcon = 14. The same number of PAX that showed up in the gloom on 4/29/2024 when Falcon collapsed after his first workout. We are here to honor this man

WARMUP:
9 motivators – a crowd favorite
Low slow squats with coupon
Low slow merkins

THE THANG:
“Falcon Heavy”
14 SSH in cadence buy-in
———————————-
4 rounds of 26 each with coupons. Only progress to the next movement once everyone except Cohiba is done
Flutters with press (the hard way)
American Hammers (the hard way)
Lunges (the easy way)
Curls
Overhead press
No rest Thrusters – if the coupon drops below your chest, 5 manmaker penalty for everyone. This was abused
Shuffle a lap with the coupon
———————————-
14 SSH in cadence (called correctly)

We made 3 full rounds. Some would say we could have finished if we didn’t mess around with motivators during warmup. Scientists are now referring to these claims as “wrong”.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: loads of stuff this summer
COT: Lifting up Falcon’s family

Hill Street Nlues

Leave a comment

The hills were alive with sound of Pax making a downpainment for the day.

Two options were given:

Hill repeats on Harris Street

Or

Run the length of Harris Street and add more as wanted

All Pax leveraged this moment to “accelerate” into their day as directed by Band Camp.

WARMUP: A lap around the parking lot with SSH, windmills, tappy taps, MNC, and LBAC
THE THANG: Started with 7s in front of the Indian restaurant. We used the dry patch under the trees by the pet groomer with one BBSU and 6 burpees in the cloud of curry and garam masala. Mostly running but bear crawls were mandatory for 1/2 of the way back to the trees.
We then hoofed it to the fountain for 11s. On the bottom we started with 1 CDD. We ran up the hill to the second driveway of the fire station for 10 dips. Everyone finished!
Time was running short so after a walking 10-count or two “All Out” was called to the traffic circle on the other end of the apartment complex. Plank until the 6 and 10-count when everyone was in position. Mosey back to CoT and DONE!
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Things are happening all over the Fort. Do them.
COT: When we got back to the flag the rain was pouring harder than during the workout. Senator Tressel had to skedaddle as is often the case and we bid him adieu. For the rest of us, YHC expounded on the 2nd core principle, that we are open to all men, and ended in a prayer that the men we had there would go out and make the world a better place without agenda.
