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.

King of the Ring – Round 2 – The Rocket Burner

Leave a comment

Ring of Fire – King of the Ring Challenge
Round 2 – Previous Kings are Q
Oh the humidity was cranked up!! Soupy swampy hot. ZERO breeze. Excellent mumblechatter in COT while we all stretched out. Senator Tressel came in hot, but caught up to us on the warmup run. 13 dawgs let loose!!

Warmup:
Slow run loop around the parking lot, approx. 400-500m, then circle up near COT for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 WM
– 15 MNC
– 15 IW
– 10 Strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the USMC JROTC building, roadway near the sidewalk to the pull-up bars for…..

THE THANG:
The Rocket Burner Circuit
Setup: 5 stations, each with an exercise. Some have modes of transportation listed to get to the next station. PAX are to grab 2 cinder blocks from storage and put them on the roadway near the sidewalk to the pull up bars. Then get after it. Cones were used to mark station locations. Station 1 was at the pull-up bars, station 2 was at the roadway, beginning of sidewalk to pull-up bars, station 3 was along the roadway, towards A.O. Jones, approx. 5-60 yds away, station 4 was same location as station 2, station 5 was at bottom of hill at stop sign. That is the circuit.
Do the work. No music, just work. Once all stations are done, scoring of one round is once you return to station 1 to start over. King is the one who does the most rounds.
Stations and MoT are:
1. 5 pull-ups, frolick (walk, skip, whatever) to #2
2. With one cindy, 15 overhead presses, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #3
3. With one cindy, 15 curls, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #4
4. With BOTH cindies, 15 deadlift into calf raise. Full up, full down. Then no more cindies. Run downhill to #5.
5. 5 burpees, 20 lunges (10 ea leg), 25 LBC. Run uphill to #1
6. That is one round
7. Repeat

WINNER IS: BAND CAMP!! He was a machine, cranking out almost 6 full rounds (or was it 6 full, started on 7th?). Harry Carry was hot on his heels. Everyone cranked out at least 3. I got 4 full, started on 5th, but threw in the towel after pull-ups. A lot of excellent mumblechatter and push/pull from each PAX. Guys were REALLY going after it, pushing hard. No cinder blocks were harmed, too. :blush:

Stored the cindies just in time to get back to COT right at 6.

MARY: None

Announcements: The Barry is coming!! Read your newsletter, get involved!!

COT: A lot of P&P lifted. Do not carry it all inside.

Cake Boss came up with a GREAT idea with this King of the Ring challenge. Looking forward to the next rounds!! BRING IT!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Blessings and SYITG.

The quickest way to lose credibility as a leader is to pass the blame to someone else. We are better than that. Great leaders pass the praise and take the blame. It builds trust, earns respect, and shows true character. Ego divides. Ownership unites.

Aye!

Off Road Racing

Leave a comment

Per the hype graphic/msg, felt like we needed to workout on the field instead of pavement. Was excited about the rain last night and the additional nastiness it would bring to the workout. Arrived to the site only to be disappointed as I stepped onto the field, mildly soggy, no puddles. Oh well, the 95% humidity made up for the lack of water obstacles! Mapped out a rectangle – approx. 15yards wide and 30 yards long. Strategically placed 6 pain stations along the perimeter of the rectangle. Each pain station had instructions for the exercise to be completed before traveling to the next pain station. Also gave the PAX a MOT so they knew how to proceed to the next pain station. Asked the PAX to compete with one another, race, push themselves.

WARMUP: From COT had the PAX carry the bags onto the field and to the starting point of our rectangular track. Started with SSHx20IC at station #1 and then explained the exercise and MOT. Once all PAX confirmed they understood we moseyed to the next pain station, asked the PAX to perform 5 burpees OYO and then explained the exercise and MOT. Followed this process and decreased the burpee count to 1 as we reached the final pain station. Moseyed to the starting point and ready to go.

THE THANG: Complete as many laps as possible. FishStix was king of the 40lb bag carriers and I believe either DeepDish or Maximus was king of the 60lb bag carriers.

Pain Station #1: 10 – Man Makers
MOT – Backward OH Toss

Pain Station #2: 20 – Bear Hug Squats
MOT – Bear Crawl w/ Pull Through

Pain Station #3: 15 – DeadLifttoCleantoPress
MOT – Alt Side Toss

Pain Station #4: 20 – Sand Bag Swings
MOT – Rifle Carry

Pain Station #5: 20 – Wide Sumo Squats w/ Front Lateral Raise
MOT – Front Press Toss

Pain Station #6: 20 – Derkins ( Feet on the SB )
MOT – Rack SB on shoulders and shuffle

MARY: NONE
