Honoring Noah

Leave a comment

Cable guy took the full hour at Alcatraz. We started with a mosey down the street to the fire station and back. The FNG was running a little late and almost took us out with his vehicle, thus we named him Wipeout. Back to the parking lot. In Cadence exercises, all sets of 22 in memory of Noah, Cable Guy’s 2.0 who would have celebrated his 22nd birthday.
Continued with some partner sprints and sets of 22 merkins, squats, and Big Boys.

Are you Tony Hawk?

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– 30-something SSHs
– Dynamic stretching on soccer field
– Discussion about the origins of my F3 name and the fact that a kid at Inizios really REALLY thought I was Tony Hawk – lol
– The F3 Name conversation spilled over to some of the other PAX present…Change Order expressed grievance over being picked on because of his career, Kermit apparently really likes broad jumps – I don’t know 🤷‍♂️

THE THANG:
A tour of the campus was the basic premise:
– Mosey to the athletic entrance: Lunges walks/reverse lunge walks w/ assorted exercises in between (bomb jacks, big boy sit-ups, monkey humpers, etc.) between light poles
– Mosey to bus loop: Merkin train (1 merkin and walk your hands 3 “steps” to the right) down one side of the curb
– Wall sits alternating with BTTW x3
– Merkin train part 2
– Mosey to the playground: 1 pull up, 2 chin ups, 1 Kraken Burpee, 10 knees to chest on the swings x 3
– Mosey to back of school for assorted stupidity (maktar jais on the wall, bear crawls, calf raises up the steps, broad jumps, more lunge walks)
– Mosey to front of middle school at top of car rider loop: 11s with big boy sit-ups at bottom of hill and burpees at top – completed 1/10, 2/9, and 3/8
– “Catch me if you can” sprint back to COT

MARY: 4 min of PAX favorites

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Charity Shoot and Bourbon Tasting coming soon
COT: Kermit took us out!

Running EMOM

Leave a comment

Warmup: (not really a thing today)

Had the PAX Line up behind me for a 14:00 minute running EMOM. We would move Indian-Run style  up to 160 but every minute on the minute we would stop and do :

1 burpee
2 BBS
4 HR Merkins.

We got a little over a mile and at the end we all had done 14 burpees 28 BBS and 56 HR Merkins.

We took a brief break to do some Windmills IC Then began Round 2  (the run back)

Same exercises and rep count as before but one twist. When we got over by the nice new parking lot by the Tega Cay Pediatric Dentistry we changed it from an Indian Run to an Indian Bear Crawl.

We did this for about 4-5 minutes and then switched back to the run.

We finished the 2nd round right around the sign for the Elementary school. Tally was 28 total burpees, 56 BBS, 112 HR Merkins with over 2 miles in running.

Staying in front of the sign by the elementary school with over 10 minutes to go we decided to:

14 LBCs IC
14 Flutters IC
Recovery Lap
14 Merkins IC
28 Low Slow Squats
Recovery Lap

4 Minute EMOM
7 Burpees each minute.

So for those wondering the “Stg. Major Workout in a pure form is :

1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
56 BBS
1 Mile Run
28 Burpees
56 BBS
112 HR Merkins
400 m lap.

I modified todays workout due to the 45 minutes timeframe and because I wanted to try out the running EMOM. It was a crowd pleaser!

Thanks for the opportunity to Lead!

Until Next Time!

Often all that’s necessary to succeed is to just not quit. But often I’ll quit on my parenting priorities because a screen is easier, or I’ll quit on house work cause there will be more laundry tomorrow….why do I refuse to quit on 8-count burpees, but don’t transfer that over to other areas of my life? Need to work on transferring the durability we build on the gloom to my entire life
