Victory at the Armory

It technically wasn’t that hot this morning, at least according to the thermometer reading, but it sure felt uncomfortable. The air was so thick that it made the KB’s feel heavier. At 5:15am and with no FNG’s present, the welcome was said, the disclaimer was made, and the work began.

WARMUP:
– 20x SSH
– 10x Imp Walkers
– 10x Moroccan Night Clubs
– 10x Hillbilly Walkers
– Short Mosey around Parking Lot
– Farmer carry to parking spaces in front of fire pits

THE THANG:
– We split into two groups – even & odd.
– EVENS would do a KB exercise at the starting point, while the ODDS ran a 2-stop suicide with a KB-less exercise at each stop.
– KB exercise was done until the running PAX got back. 12 was the rep count every time for the KB-less exercise.
– Exercises would change each round & called by the PAX in rotating fashion.
– Started with KB Snatches & Burpees. Other exercises included (order/grouping may not be accurate): Flutters w/press & Merkins, Curls & LSS’s, Tri-Extensions & Plank-Jacks, Halos & Bomb-Jacks, Upright Rows & LBCs, and Lawnmower Lifts & Box Cutters.

MARY: None at COT, as we got back w/6 seconds to spare, but Mary was included in The Thang, so there shouldn’t be any FOMO.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

COT: Prayers for Maui. Prayers for Click Bait’s travels to & from Maui and his efforts while there. Prayers for all in need and for everyone & everything that remained unspoken this morning.

Monday Morning Constitutional

Scheduled Q is rumored to be on IR, so YHC grabbed the stick. Welcome, no FNG’s, disclaimer was made. PAX were not content with the mediocre disclaimer, so it was redone & core principles were also reviewed. No more grumblings were heard, so we began!

WARMUP:
– 20x SSH
– 10x Imp Walkers
– 10x Hillbilly Walkers
– 10x Large Arm Circles (5/Fwd & 5/Rev)
– Farmer carry KBs to fire pit area

THE THANG:
– Find a partner – we had 8 PAX, so 4 groups. First group called an exercise. Partner #1 did reps while Partner #2 ran a lap around the parking lot following the curb around where we were gathered. Reps continued until the 6 was in, then switched. After 2nd partners completed their lap, next group called the next exercise.
– Completed 3 rounds. Audible was called between round 1 & 2 to shorten the loop. Due to time, the lap was shortened even more between rounds 2 & 3. Exercises included Man Makers, Swings, Curls, 2-for-1 combos (such as clean & press), OH Presses, Sgl Leg Deadlifts, 6″ Leg-Raised Holds w/Presses, American Hammers, and more.
– Back to COT for Mary.

MARY: Various – Rotating PAX Choice
– LBCs
– Flutters w/press
