Disclaimer disclaimed.

Mosey around HT parking lot. Circle up for
– 20 SSH IC
– 10 Windmills IC
– 10 LSS IC
– 10 MNCs IC
– 10 Hillbilly Walkers IC

THE THANG:
A little Buy in first. 7’s with Burpees and Bomb Jacks. Sjouldve been Box Jumps but YHC forgot the boxes.

Mosey to grace Church parking lot for the real Thang. Board of Pain had 7 exercises. Do all exercises and run a lap. 1st round had 20 reps, then 30 reps, then 40 reps, and finished with 10 reps.
– Merkins
– Squats
– LBCs
– CDDs
– Monkey Humpers
– American Hammers
– Flying Squirrels

Senator Tressel’s alarm went off at 5:49am, he said “good bye” and began to leave. YHC thought this was odd, but knew he had already completed the workout so no harm no foul.

Timing was a bit off, so we did one last round of 10 reps of each exercise, then moseyed back to CoT for some Mary.
MARY: Flutters, Box Cutters and Hello Dolly

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Burpee Fest this Saturday, Bethel Mens Shelter, Jaeger coming up!

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.

Ladders, sandbags and Merkins

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, windmills, hillbilly walk
THE THANG: divided the pax into two 4 men teams, two ladders, plenty of sandbags… loaded up the two ladders with 2×60# sandbags each, picked them up, sat the ladders on shoulders and started walking; a timer will go off every two minutes to remind us to do 10 merkins with rucks on. Pick up and the ladders and go around the soccer field, big loop, every time the buzzer went off (2 minutes) we did 10 merkins, completed one big loop and dropped the sandbags and transformed the ladders on A frames, 1 pax will carry the ladder overhead or on shoulders and go around the small loop while the other 3 pax will toss the 60# sandbag until the ladder comes back around, switch ladder to next pax, each pax had the opportunity to go around twice. The buzzer reminded us of the 10 merkins every 2 minutes.
Opened up the ladders again and this time we loaded them up with 160# each, farmers carry around the small loop, buzzer every two minutes for 10 merkins each time.
Back to the flag

Play time is over

Leave a comment

WARMUP: it’s sweep the leg. We did a burpee ladder instead on way to school drive. Starting with 1 worked our way up to 5 then back down performing the burpees at each light pole on way down Dave gibson, we also stopped every so often to perform exercises IC waiting for 6

THE THANG: short version of longest mile with using light poles, lunge walk to 1st pole, then bear crawl to 2nd then crab walk to 3rd.
We all picked up 6 before moseying to back of school by bottom of hill where YHC did not provide very clear instructions at start so had to run around and update pax as we went. but we started 11s with HR Merkins (10) and BombJacks (1) at last pole top of hill. Plan was to drop a pole each lap so it would get progressively shorter think the gazelles got up to round 6 or 7 but we still ran out of time, and a couple PAX got back a min or two late

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Christmas party, lots of Saturday CSAUPS coming up, PnP tomorrow, HIM camp. We named hashbrowns

COT: yep!
