Adequacy in Question

Kermit was not having the thought of a Clemson party at the Hive, so he came decked out in his Vols gear to represent. One would say he was adequate in his preparedness. Although his attire was the wrong color of orange, YHC would say…

Wegmans and I are currently doing a workout program, complete with exercise movements that tend to make you scratch your head at how they are possible.

Each of us questioned our adequacy in attempting the below movements. Between each set we ran a quarter mile.

Core
• Landmine Wood Chop x 36 (18 ea side)
•  Single-Arm Overhead Sit-Up x 60 – 30 ea side
• Deadlift x 40

Lower
• KB Goblet Squats x 40
• Calf Raises x 50
• OH KB Squat x 40

Upper
• Half-Kneeling Single-Arm Landmine Press x 48 – 24 per side
• One armed KB Row x 48 – 24 per side
• KB Chest Press x 20

Core 2
KB Side Bends x 40 – 20 per side
• KB Straight Leg Sit-Up X 40
• KB Deadlift x 16

At the end of it all, layers were shed and sweat was dripping. Solid work by all involved.

COT was good. Prayer requests spoken and prayed together. Show up next time to be part of it.

Thanks Airborne for the final Friday of the year!!

Punch List out.

Strong work by all. The Brayden hill is unforgiving.

Olaf’s prayer hit me right between the eyes. He dropped a timely prayer request after a weekend of distracted parenting. How much presence would my kids perceive that I give, if I asked them? Am I giving them all of me, or only some of me?

Thanks for the tap today, Badlands.

Let’s Try That Again…

After double booking a few weeks back… River Rat was able to get me back on the schedule to continue Rucktober into November… Ruckvember? The truck was loaded down with coupons, and we showed up on time. Check, check.

Now it’s time to work. We grabbed a few sandbags and one Jerry can and headed off into the gloom.

Iteration 1
Carry Coupon/Ruck up and down bleachers
10 Ruck Merkins
Switch Coupons, Rinse and Repeat
Ruck Lunges

Ruck around the track

Repeat with Squats, Coupon OH Press
Ruck another lap

Iteration 2
Coupon/Ruck CMIYC

There were three of us – so an improvisation was made. Drop rucks.

Pax 1 farmer carries two rucks, two other pax drop for 5 burpees. Up and sprint to Pax 1, swap position. Repeat for a lap. (Sprocket is faster than he looks, by the way!).

Grab two sandbags, no rucks. Pax 1/2 move forward while Pax 3 does 10 bomb jacks. Catch up/swap. Repeat for a lap.

Grabs rucks and sandbags. Pax 1/2 move forward with both while Pax 3 does 3 8-count body builders with ruck. Catch up/swap. Repeat for a lap.

Time was nearing expiration – so we headed back to COT.

Ended with 5 Ruck American Hammers IC.

Announcements
Thanksgiving convergences for both The Fort and The Rock. The Rock’s will take place at the JOC at 0630. Something mean and green and with casseroles… 🤷🏻‍♂️
Donut dash this weekend for The Rock
The Fort is having another blood drive on 11/17. Hit up 3D if interested. #freedtobleed

COT
Heavy prayers lifted up today. Pray the Lord’s will be done and the Kingdom of God can prevail in all of our lives.

Orange is the new NC State Red

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.
