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”.

WARMUP: Mosey around the small loop with butt kickers & toy soldiers mixed in. To that, add a few warm-up exercises.
THE THANG: Everyone gets the opportunity to complete the 60×60. This is where you start with a sand bag on the ground and hoist it over your shoulder and repeat for 60sec.
Now, partner up so there is 1 sand bag per partner group. Collectively, toss your sand bag around the big loop. Yes, the big one. Most PAX traded off after 5 throws. Pick up the 6 and help out where possible.
Everyone grab your bag and line up at one end of the parking lot, staring down our target ~75yds away.
Run to the other end, 25 American Hammers I/C
NUR back and 15 Dead Lifts with the bag.
Now, bear crawl to the other end, 25 Flutters I/C

Sink roulette deck of cards

Leave a comment

17 eager and excited pax showed up. Some brought sand bags, some brought just their willing attitude which was quickly put on point upon the pile of sandbags awaiting them.

After a quick run around the parking lot, a few in cadence SSH, followed by burpees, and that repeated a few times, it was time for business.

Deck of cards was the game. Rules were simple. Follow the count on the card and suit to the key on the paper.

Here’s the extra kitchen sink rule: for the 4 cards laid out, 1 card was chosen by a pax to either pick red or black. If correct, follow the card suit/count. If incorrect, penalty was double the count.

All exercises were done with your sandbag.

– 2-7 diamonds manmaker
– 8-Ace diamonds squats
– 2-7 spades lunge
– 8-Ace spades merkins (just do regular merkins
– 2-7 clubs clean and press
– 8-Ace clubs flutter w/ a press
– 2-7 hearts chest press
– 8-Ace hearts curls
– Joker gear carry shuffle 100 yards and then 1 min sandbag toss over shoulder, 100 yard shuffle
– A few “breaks” were added which included some slick run cool downs and a few gear shuffles with no bag toss

For the record, there were some incorrect cards chosen which were a crowd favorite as you’d expect.
