KB BOP for Farmers

Leave a comment

Site Q let me know there would be a shovel flag handoff this morning so expected a large crowd. Means different paces needed to be accommodated, perfect for a BOP. Arrived early to set-up and get a prerun in, because I'm old and need the warmup, plus it's been a long week. Jogging around the parking lot next to the school I was able to watch the cars start to roll in. This energized me which is what I needed. I love F3 workouts for the fellowship; the fitness is a bonus. Time to work.

WARMUP: Moseyed/walked with bells from COT to the large parking lot by the school. Only 2 exercises called: SSH & Burpees. Did these a few times and we were ready to work.

THE THANG: BOP was on display at a light pole, explained the BOP and then had the PAX count off in groups of 4. With 4 groups created I let the PAX know that each group would farmer carry coupons, which were also located at the same light pole, to the other end of the lot and back. Group 1 would carry and upon return would alert Group 2 that it was their turn, so forth and so on. Rotated the farmers carry throughout the workout. Most groups had the pleasure of 4 carries, my group -#4 only had 3 carries. Most PAX made it into the 20rep block of the BOP and a couple of HIMs completed the BOP. Fun was had by all. BOP and coupons for farmer carry listed below:

Farmer Carry Coupons
2 – 45lb plates
2 – 45lb dumbbells
2- 35lb dumbbells
1 – 50lb Ruck + 1 – 50lb bucket

Egypt > Desert > Promised Land Bootcamp

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We started with a mile around campus, fleeing Egypt with a few dynamic stretches along the way. Made sure to circle back for the six. @U5MQ8FHV0 stepped up with some Side Straddle Hops while YHC went back for @U02DKM63B7B.
THE THANG: We finally arrived in the Desert, a few parking lot islands away from the Promised Land.
25 Merkins, 25 Squats, 25 Big Boy Sit-Ups, followed by a controlled run to the next aisle. Repeat.
YHC also learned what a zipper is (and apparently isn’t).
Our first complaint came from @U02DKM63B7B, which seemed fitting considering the Israelites’ experience in the wilderness. He also appointed @U0BEBRDB5U7 as his proxy for any reps he wouldn’t be completing.
Once we reached 100 reps of each, we swapped Merkins for Dips, courtesy of @U08NJ8FF1PF.
We finished with a sprint around the parking lot perimeter, making our final push into the Promised Land.
MARY: A little Mary roulette followed, with @U011KKZ17U6 calling Jennifer Lopez, only for @U02DKM63B7B to discover someone was apparently doing the Ben Affleck instead. Hilarious.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Consider donating to F3 to support something that’s changed so many of our lives. Be proactive in providing food for Bethel Men’s Shelter. Convergence next month at the Ranch (apparently there’s good parking). The Excavation at Forest Hill Fort Mill is November 13. A few parties coming up, details of which YHC has not retained.
COT: Prayers for safe travels, a successful surgery for @UJKGM3VKJ and a speedy recovery. Prayers for @U0AQZ0DGP97 as he prepares to start his new job next month. Prayers for the Pope and for those requests left unspoken.

Simple weinke with spotlight on importance of looping in a partner (or more than one) when life gets tough and when adversity extends for a long stretch. Don't do life OYO!

Thanks for the hard work by all and the invite from brother Pauly!

Noah’s Ark – Just the Animals.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: very warm already

THE THANG: mosey around the islands of parking. Stop at one side and establish our workout area. The theme is Noah’s Ark so we did as many animal related workouts as we could do (and do it twice) because there were no solo animals. All exercises incorporated getting from one end of the lot to the other across 9 parking spaces.
First up
Alligator walk across the lot and back
25 monkey humpers on either end
Kangaroo hops (broad jumps )
Bunny hop
Take a mosey lap
Next
Animal related stretching
Down dog
Scorpion (down dog with leg up and over)
Flying squirrel
Arm circles (Eagle wings)
Row boats (to save yourself)
Last up
Crab walk
Duck walk
Gorilla shuffle (sideways)
Penguin walk

(Forgot inch worms)

MARY: flutter kicks and dying cockroaches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: yes

Abs, Abs and more Abs + Communiation

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Lap around the Skillet, SSH, Windmills, Moroccan Nightclubs, Imperial Walkers
THE THANG: Since my shoulder is busted, it was time for some ab work. Line up on the goal line. Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 big boys. Run to the 20 yard line, add one more for 11 big boys. Do this all the way to the other end. 145 total big boys.
Come back the other way, we started on the goal line with 4 count flutters and then did the same thing, add an additional 4 count every 10 yards. By this time, most of us were toast, so starting at the 50 yrd line, we went down to 2-count flutters. 450 flutters total. Run around the parking. Then run suicides for the last 2:30.

Discussion was on Communication with our 2.0's and our M's. Lots of things that we need to do better, but it has to start with us. Be intentional with our communications with our 2.0's and M's. Remember that communication is a tool. Will we use that tool for good or evil?
MARY: Did you see that it was all abs this morning?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel!!!!! Get out and help!
COT: Mostly happened during our communication discussion.
