WARMUP:
– Indian run
THE THANG:
OldBay Part 1:
Run to first of 4 cones set up to cover a large area for “Catch me if you can”. Pax partner up, size doesn’t matter. Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercise (working their way around all 4 cones). Once P1 finishes stationary exercise, they run to catch P2 then flapjack. Continue until they’ve made it around all 4 cones.
Exercises:
10 merkins and butt kickers
3 burpees and high knees
10 mountain climbers and karaoke
Birdcage Part 1
All pax grab some curb for merkin and shimmy: one merkin, then use arms and legs to sideways step to the right. Repeat until complaints were high enough.
Shake it out and then flip to other side of curb for dip and shimmy.
Pax then had to get in 5 lines for sprints back and forth in front of the stadium entrance.
OldBay Part 2
Pax line up on curb facing open side of parking lot for broad jumps and merkins. Pax instructed to take 2 broad jumps and then do 2 merkins. Repeat until the other side of the parking lot was reached, keeping count of how many broad jumps it took them.
14 jumps was the fewest, so all pax had to do 14 burpees.
Pax then lined up arms-distance apart, then dropped to a plan for railroad tracks. The pax at the end of the plank line had to make their way to the from the line by jumping over each planked pax. They then planked at the front of the line. Done after 2 complete cycles. We had a few minutes left, so we did 5 6-count burpees to satisfy the brass at the workout.
Birdcage part 2
Worked our way back to the front of the stadium where we did suicides, stopping at every tree for 5 bombjacks…until we run out of time (or tree, in the case of a few pax)
MARY:
Just a few moments for a few exercises. Bandcamp managed to get 2 6-count burpees in, because only dozens before wasn’t enough.
Great work by all. Thanks for the opportunity to co-lead, Birdcage.
WARMUP: We warmed up
Went to the now famous buckets workout.
Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.
Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches
Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers
Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s
All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

NMM
We lift heavy so that we can carry heavy things – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Men who prioritize training are resilient and reliable, and as such, everybody wants what they have. But you have to learn to say “no” to some things. If you pour out everything you have, you will have nothing left to your family or for yourself.
Also, know that you have a brotherhood to help you shoulder the weight. You’re either going through it, just went through it, or will go through it. When you get overwhelmed, ask for help. You are needed, desired, and loved. Don’t let temporary problems cause you to succumb to a permanent solution. Talk, listen, share, and care. We need you. Your family needs you. And your community needs you.
Aye!
