What a stupid idea- what time do we start?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 45 SSH, 10 windmills, plank and some stretching
THE THANG:
4 corners (in a rectangle)

PARTNER WORK

First lap

Partner 1 Bear crawls the long part of the rectangle while partner carries both bells in an suitcase carry
At halfway point switch places or as needed

100 halos- 25 of each at each corner
100 skull crushers- 25 of each corner

For short part of rectangle partner 1 does lunge walks and partner two does overhead carry with both bells, again switch halfway or as needed

Second lap same MOD

100 goblet squats
100 bent over rows

We had an odd number so the second group figured out a way to have someone always crawling and two ppl using bells to do work.

MARY:
20 American hammers with bells
Flutters
Pickle pointers

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Golf outing

Lots of discussion about WNC insurance, ultimately the fraud of such predatory companies, but more importantly the good men and women that are helping those in need which is anticipated to last well into the winter, Jcruise plugged an organization 2nd wave specifically designed to bring relief when this “first wave” is done.

Thanks for the callout 3D

COT: yes

The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

COT: The 5th Core Principle.
