Carry the Load

Leave a comment

10 men carried heavy things on a sweaty Wednesday morning at the Sink. Here’s what we did:

Warm-up

  • 10 Low Slow Squats (IC)
  • 10 Imperial Walkers (IC)
  • Front Fold Stretch
  • Side Stretch

Mosey to flag pole

The Thang
The PAX brought a ruck, sandbag, and kettlebell each for a large loop carry then exercise routine. It looked like this:

Round 1

  • Carry your ruck, bell, and sandbag for 1 lap followed by
  • 30 Calf Raises, 30 KB Swings, and 30 Merkins

Round 2

  • Carry 2 items for 2 laps followed by
  • 20 Curls, 20 Flutters w/ a Press, and 20 Squats

Round 3

  • Carry 1 item for 3 laps followed by
  • 10 Burpees, 10 Sit-up to Press, and 10 Bench Press

NMM
We often ask God to lighten our load, but sometimes He strengthens us by teaching us how to carry it. That looks like showing up when you’re tired. It means investing in others even when you see little results. It means leading when recognition is absent. It means remaining faithful to your mission instead of being fixated on measurable success.

Keep going, especially when it’s tough. The process is shaping you into a stronger man.

Dark Helmet

WARMUP:
THE THANG: We did a couple of loops around the Kingsplex, with some bear crawling and crawl bearing in honor of the Other Band Camp (@UGU3XR5RP – not present), some running up Textile Hill, and lots of NOT stepping on the grass…
We wrapped with a Mary tribute to Iron Balls McGinty. All in all, it was real nice time…

Moleskine:The mumblechatter was on point this morning. Pollo’s balls dominated the list of topics of discussion… whether it was that they were encased in metal, or being eaten by handsome crabs, we all now know too much and will need to scrub our brains.

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Prayers for many things and a call to give to Living Waters International…

Go do some freaking good today. You're way more capable of it than you give yourself credit for.

Simple and sweaty

Leave a comment

I saw something online about how the 21-15-9 series was the most optimal workout routine so I decided to test it out. Quick disclaimer, light jog around the lot, some warm-up stretches, then pick up bags and move to front of school.

21 reps each of clean and presses, bent over rows, and jump overs. Front rack carry bag to end of columns and back. Repeat same 3 exercises but 15 reps of each. Bear hug carry bag to end and back. 9 reps of same 3 exercises then front rack carry down and back.

Next series is walk over push ups, squats with bag on back, and over the shoulders. 21 of each, single shoulder carry down and back. 15 of each, other shoulder carry, 9 of each, then front rack carry down and back.

Over head carry to end of columns. Bag toss to next cross walk. Back to COT and finish with 21 big boys. Solid work by all PAX. Thanks for opportunity @U088CUMTQ05
