Posted In: the yard

WARMUP: Brief mosey around the fake track by the gym followed by COP with various classics

THE THANG: The Main Event started with a brief stop at the only real grass at The Yard for some Knee Tar N’Diayes and Mahktar N’Diayes. Then we moseyed to the gym wall for three rounds of the following:

Donkey Kicks x10
Monkey Humpers x20
Merkins x30
Squats x40
Flutters x50

After each round we recovered with either Lunge Walks, Bear Crawls or Backward Lunge Walks

Mosey back to main parking lot for tunes by UHaul plus some more exercises

MARY: Bitcoin took the baton and led the pax through some Mary, capped by a plankorama triggered by UHaul.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many good things going on in The Fort. Read your newsletter and join in along the way.

COT: Welcome to FNG Stinger! he posted after hearing the Order of Man podcast with DOAH. Thankfully he chose to post despite what he heard. He will be back and will fit right in like he’s been here forever.

Bitcoin took the Shovel Flag today! Great to have this Accelerating pax step into a leadership role. Put The Yard on your Sat itinerary — he’ll keep this AO soaring!

The pax pushed through the Main Event with perseverance. Some mumblechatter from Crab Cakes and UHaul plus some Form Police from Peabody kept spirits light enough. Apparently Fogertys guidance that The Yard is a 45 min boot camp (and not a Moderate boot camp) hasnt made its way to all the pax. It’s clear everyone can handle it from today’s work, including our FNG Stinger who wasn’t far behind our King, Runy Slippers. Also near the front was Old Bay, who is clearly accelerating following his return to the Gloom.

Thanks to Fogerty for resurrecting The Yard. We have a trio of good options on Sat now — nice work!

Always an honor to lead the pax. SYITG!

Not Bunny Hopping Any More

Posted In: The Hive

WARMUP: run 1 lap around the perimeter of the parking lot. Circle up, Moroccan nightclubs, low slow squats, windmills.

THE THANG: Due to Quack Attack’s car, we had to start at the dark red lightning bolt. (See attached high tech AO recreation software) First call was to bunny hop suicides. After traveling to the first light, that was an extremely dumb idea. Modified to lunges. We would stop at each light pole, marked by the yellow circles. We would do 10 swings at each light, drop the bell and run back to the red lightning bolt, traveling in the direction of the blue arrow for the first. 10 merkins at the starting point and run to our bells. 10 merkins before advancing our bells via lunge walks now. 10 swings and run back to the start. 10 merkins at the start and run to the bell for 10 more merkins before lunge walking to the other side of the parking lot.

Next we gathered at the red hexagon. We would send 1 person to run the direction of the pink arrow to the other end of the parking lot and back. They were the timer.
The exercises we did:
Curls
Z – Press (with discussion about how it doesn’t look like a Z)
Chest Press
Calf raises
Swings
Squats
(In no particular order)

Next we gather at the location of the green arrow and did a similar suicide iteration at the first. This time we did overhead carry and squats. Merkins at the green arrow and again before advancing the bell with the overhead carry.

Did a couple moseys to the far end of the parking lot. Some people were chatting so called some burpees to grab the attention again.

Next we did some more calf raises to get these Pax ready for the Clave Boss!

Did another mosey and then some dynamic cool down, including toy soldiers, regular mosey and karaoke.

MARY: Airborne Hip thing and 1 last mosey
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year, Christmas party, BBQ CSAUP, Final Countdown
COT: Stays in COT.
