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.

There was a Frog

Disclaimer Disclaimed
Mosey to Theatre for Warm Up

Socratic – Are some men born to be lone wolves?
Spur – Man hunts best in a pack.
We see best from 9 through 12 to 3 o’clock, but we cannot see our 6. We are blind to our 6. We need others to help cover our 6. This horizontal relationship helps all the members of the pack.
WARMUP:
25 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
10 MNC IC
10 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga

THE THANG:
Socratic – Do communities benefit when men combine?
Spur – Men recognize the Advantage of mutual defense.
Men recognize the benefit of community. A HIM locks his shield with other HIMs to protect the people behind the wall.

The Thang – Ladder Work across parking lot with Bear Crawls in between. Eliminated the last exercise each round. All Reps were completed.
5 Burpees
10 Bomb Jax
20 Merkins
30 Squats
40 LBCs
50 Monkey Humpers

Socratic – Can a man begin the fight against adversity before he encounters it?
Spur – Acceleration of the Shield Lock requires Preparedness

7s of Carolina Dry Docks and Big Boys

Mosey to back of Theatre – Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall
MARY: American hammers til 0600

Mental Battle workout

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

Quick disclaimer and shared we would be doing the Mental Battle workout created by DropThrill.

THE THANG:
Little mosey into a secondary parking lot and did a warmup

SSH – 20
Windmills- 6
Imp Walkers – 15
Plank Stretching
Merkins – 10 IC

From there we ran over to bigger lot where I set up a “4 corners” this was the 7 provided exercises and one extra. We then did 4 laps on 1/2 the exercises and 4 laps on the second.

Exercises were:

Jump squats x 12
Merkins x 15
Plank Jacks x 20
Lunges x 12 per leg

Inbetween the first and second half we held plank and I shared some alarming statistics with mental health. We discussed F3 and it’s impact on my life and others, the importance of getting right, guard rails, shield locks and conquering the jester (all in light of the fact that mental health a very dynamic thing)

Then we did the second half…

LBCs x20
Burpees x 10
Monkey Humpers x 30
Mountain Climbers x 30

We had extra time so we did wall sits and balls to walls on side of movie theater, then we ran around backside and ran up a two story flight of stairs twice. Then we moseyed back around to COT and had enough time for 10, 6 point Burpees IC. Fun way to end it out.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: WTF or Waxhaw Trail Fest on 4/20, Bethel Men’s Shelter Rock Hill serve 4/4, Jeager 5/11 I believe.
COT:

Families, 2.0s health and of course mental health.
