The Total Body Destroyer

YHC gave the Disclaimer and also Noted last time I Q’ed a KB workout everyone hurt for at least a week.

WARM UP:
We started off with

15 – imperial walkers
15 – wind mills

Slowlesy to the larger parking lot where the board was set up along with some music

Explained this is OYO not a group effort as they looks on the pax did not look amused by the number of reps.

THE THANG:
Also on every minute on the minute 3 KB man makers.

After the first 2 rounds I Omahaed that to every 2 minutes as it took about 30sec to get done and few seconds to gain your composure back.

50 KB Thrusters
75 KB Stright Arm overhead Ground Taps (this is done on your six with the KB straight above your chest. You then proceed to lower the weight over your head till it touches the ground. This works you lats like a lat pull down in the gym)
100 KB Curls
125 KB Swings ( this is definitely a full body exercise)
150 KB Halo’s smoke those shoulders
175 KB Squats

Due to time we Riffle Carried to the opposite end of the parking lot then found our way back to COT.

There was a lot more intended but due to the stupid time constraints we only made it this far.

Planked it up for the 6.

Hope I lived up to the Hives expectations and my KB reputation.

Announcements:

Dam to Damn Bar 10k, Christmas party

Prayers:

Alot of health concerns with families getting sick, elderly parents sick and in well. It’s always hard around the holidays when we find ourselves in a house hold with sickness

rolling around. 🙏

Taking responsibility

YHC clipped the Ms car on the way out of the driveway this morning – initial reaction was to find anything and anyone else to blame…. I was running late because no one moved the elf, and I couldn’t find my running shoes because my son “put them away in the garage”, and my M didnt pull all the way up in the driveway.

The truth is I didn’t do the basic things required for the task like taking a walk/look around the car or adequately use my mirrors. These were all completely under my control and I failed.

Human nature is to deflect blame to others, as HIMs we need to resist this urge. We can’t blame other’s for our own complacency.

THE THANG:
run to Allison park stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

once at the park, yhc led IC exercises until the 6 arrived (squats, reverse lunges, sumo squats). Once all PAX arrived, we assumed plank position and performed in cadence shoulder taps (40) and then in cadence squats (30) while each PAX performed one max set of pullups.

ran back to Earthfare stopping every 1/4 mile for 10 merkins.

used remaining time to do 4 corners at Earthfare with10 reps of sumo squats and wide arm merkins at opposite corners.

couple minutes of Mary to finish.

strong work by all today.
