Pendulum of pain

WARMUP: grandpa jacks, hillbilly walkers, dynamic plank stretching, gravediggas
THE THANG: ran towards RedVentures, stopped at Handels to do a quick set of Dark Helmets favorite lifting heavy chairs over head a few times:

OH PRESS 10x
DERKINS 10x
CURLS 10x

Then we moseyed to the road with lightpoles headed down to RV where I explained the thang

Starting at bottom of hill, we ran up back to top of hill by Carolina Butcher, performed 1 Kraken Burpee then ran back to bottom of hill.

From there we bear crawled the other direction up the hill to first tree where we performed what I called a crab dip, from the crab position take hand and touch opposite foot, then flip flop and then do a dip.

We did 10 of those and then crab walked back to bottom of hill.

Then we ran back up hill towards other side and dropped off one light pole and performed 2 kraken burpees, ran back down to bottom of hill and then bear crawled to second tree up other side of hill, then performed 9 “crab dips”
Then instead of crab walking we changed to NUR (good feedback from pax)
Kept doing this until we achieved 5 kraken burpees and we ran short on time so had to mosey back, stopping to bear crawl up hill by Carolina butcher.

MARY:

Flutters until 6
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Bethel, battle bot send off, convergence
COT:
Honor to lead the men today, asked for feedback which we don’t do enough of. I personally felt it was a bit sloppy and not super well adjusted for time but it’s hard to tell sometimes how long a plan will take to execute…so get me on your Q schedules men! Lastly we talked about keeping the Sad clown at bay, he never actually goes away, we just keep beating him into submission every day we take the DRP.

swinging in the park

WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walking, Low Slow Squat
THE THANG: Mosey to the amphitheater. Pax will start with 3 burpees. Then we performed the pendulum. PAX swing from the bathrooms to the first set of swings on the opposite side of the amphitheater. At the bathrooms there were 12 BBSU, at the swing 12 4-count flutters. Every round decrease by one on both sides. Always 3 burpees in the middle.

OnlyFans, Cubbie, and YHC made it to the 3 count with Skipper and Soup making 4 and Slash picking his way back to CoT earlier than the rest of us.

Mosey back with two extra stops for burpees. That means everyone should have had about 60 burpees in their morning diet.
