Beautiful Morning Beatdown

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Rolling in late, had stepped up to start the beat down while I got out of the car. I gave a quick disclaimer and continued with a warm up of IW, SSH, LSS, runner’s stretch, merkins, MC.

Mosey around the campus. Every few hundred yards, circle up to hold a plank for the 6, then five merkins. Then continue. After about 5 minutes of moseying and merkins, an unnamed PAX asked whether there was a weinke for this workout to which I ~threatened~ answered, be careful what you wish for. We moseyed some more and after the second lap, we went to the railings at the back of the theater for supine rows x15 oyo. Mosey to more railings and more supine rows for a total of three sets & mosey back to COT to unload some kettlebells from my car

THE THANG
Partner up and each pair grab one of four kettlebells: 20LBs, 25LB, 35LB, 50LBs. With partner & bell slow mosey to the ~bottom of the hill~ adjacent parking lot. The bells are arranged from lightest to heaviest. Partner one does exercise with the kettlebell and partner two runs to the opposite side of lot, does and exercise and return, and switch. After each set, all pairs rotate up to the next bell, except the PAX who were on the 50LB, they get some relief by going to the start. We did this until all PAX got in reps with all the bells before starting a new round of exercises which were:
P1: KB swings, P2: 3 burpees
P1: one arm row, P2: 3 merkins
P1: thrusters, P2: 3 lunges 2is1
P1: Romanian DL, P2: 3 flutter 2is1

Riffle carry the bells back to COT, swapping with your partner or another PAX as needed.

It’s always an honor to lead in the Fort and always fun to challenge myself as I hope I challenged the PAX. Good work to everyone and let’s hope I didn’t scare away the FNG

12 Corners

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yes, tried to gauge fitness level of FNGs. Leave no man behind, but (push them hard enough so we) leave no man where we found them

THE THANG: Mosey, stopping frequently to group back up for:
5 burpees
10 merkins
15 squats

Eventually with 15 minutes left in the workout. We “stumbled upon” 5 hidden sand bags. Partner up,: one partner works, one partner rests, then switch

– 5 clean and press
– 5 squats
– 5 presses
– 5 manmakers
– 5 over the shoulder

Carry the sandbags back. Trade with partner as needed

Stopped for some flexibility before arriving at COT.

Mary – keep flipping the bag alternating with your partner until 0600.
