Failure will bring future success

Leave a comment

Sometimes you have a plan and it fails miserably. This morning I loaded a cart with sandbags, kettlebells , and other heavy objects, over 320 pounds. I thought the weight would have enough resistance to challenge the person pulling it. Unfortunately, it was only challenging pulling uphill. Not a total failure, the cart held the weight it advertised as its capacity.
We ventured around the carpool path stopping for three exercises. Bent-over rows, curls, shoulder press, Simbas, flutters with press, over shoulder toss, man-makers are some of the exercises we did this morning.
I will retry this cart at a future Q and get it right.

COT: 5th core principle

Q-school lessons shared from 3 C’s and four corners. Reminders that simple can be effective. In keeping the group together, four corners and self-explanatory exercises are helpful to keeping pax connected and together during a workout – all while embodying the credo of leaving no man behind but not leaving him where you found him.

Thanks for the call Deep Dish.

Heavy Laps

Leave a comment

6 men showed up at the new Block Party location, WEP.
We started with a job around the park, stopped at every swing for an exercise. Next, we emptied the back of my car filled with sandbags and other heavy objects. We carried the heavy objects to each swing. Dropped the bags, ran to the next swing and back, Rinse and repeat until back at the theater.
We had enough time to go around half the park with exercises ( merkins, squats, LBCs) at each swing, ran back to the start.
