Rainmaker, but no Raun

Leave a comment

five men showed up at Varsity for a rainless workout.
We started with a short mosey down to the elementary school for warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills). Next, some dynamic stretching: Knees to chest, lunge walker, jog, butt kickers, reverse lunges.
Next, merkin clock. Plank position, Q called out a time, moved to the hour and performed merkins.
Mosey back to the High School. 7s at the bus line, squats at the bottom, CCDs at the top, and run between stops.
three rounds of dips and derkins, 10 count reps
Back to the shovel flag, run to each light post, perform an exercise. First round – Squats, Second round – LBCs, and Third round – Burpees, all 10 count.
Back to COT.

The Accumulator hit by inflation is painful for everyone

Leave a comment

We had 12 Pax, make it 13, Splinter drove through the Circle of Pain while we were doing out Side Straddle Hops. While I did prove a disclaimer, I forgot to mention incoming vehicles as a potential hazard.
Back to warm-ups (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches, Peter Parker, Parker Peters)
Next, we moseyed to the entrance of the Middle School. The workout for the remainder of time was The Accumulator:

Do the exercise and take a lap around the buffet. Rinse and Repeat, accumulating each exercise.

10 Merkins – 20 Flutter Kicks – 20 Squats – 30 Plank Punches – 20 LBC’s – 20 Carolina Dry Docks – 10 Burpees

Unfortunately, the above reps were impacted by inflation, here are the revised reps:

15 Merkins – 25 Flutter Kicks – 25 Squats – 36 Plank Punches – 28 LBC’s – 25 Carolina Dry Docks – 15 Burpees

**lesson: inflation has a random impact on prices (in this case reps)

Most pax got through the full list, some of the crazies (fast pax) started from the top again. Back to COT.

Doras under Tension

Leave a comment

WARMUP: It was cold so the 3 of us needed to get moving ASAP. Moseyed for 5 minutes and wound up in parking lot in front the baseball field. Triangled up and performed the following all in cadence: SSHx20, WMx8, CPx8, Merksx10. We were warm and ready to work.
THE THANG: Different take on Dora that worked out well with 3 and would work with pairs as well. The flow was to run for 5 minutes ( make use of the campus ) and then perform a 1 exercise DORA routine, run for 5 minutes, another 1 exercise DORA routine, etc… We got in 3 DORA routines which were as follows:
DORA#1 – run distance was approx. 25yards out, partners performed 10 alternating lunges together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held AG until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.
DORA#2 – run distance was approx. 40yards out, partners performed 10 merkins together, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held Plank until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice. There were multiple merkin variations used.
DORA#3 – run distance was approx. 20yards out, partners performed 10 lower leg lifts, once completed 1 of the group took off on the run while the others held 6in until the runner returned. Completed 6 rounds as each of us ran twice.

Inaugural Jaeger

Leave a comment

Beautiful March weather (seriously it was a perfect day) for the 0800 launch of the Eröffnung Jäger. PAX were assured by Grinder that the routes were well marked and there were no Zima-miles. This proved to be 99.9% true (you could still get lost if you wanted to…)

The premise was solid. 4 man team (2 Ruckers, 2 Runners). Runners had longer routes and teams met at checkpoints for team exercises before they could head to the next station. The pain stations were tough. Lutefisk about killed the PAX at the first one. (Oh, that was just me?) Triple Lindy had us loading munitions. Cake Boss brought candy, but it was not a sweet treat. (Could have also been that the leg leading to Alison Park was soul crushing….) Tinsel forgot it was a CSAUP and thought he was prepping for a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs wresting match.



The finishing team results:
1.) Vuvu/Beaker (for the record you were suggested to have a 4 man team…)
2.) Cobra Kai’s crew (that included the mythical Gekko)
3.) Camp 3D’s Sugar Shady Band Bug
4.) Cornerstone’s posse
5.) Poppins’ Chimney Sweeps (seriously impressive that Badlands ran back from the final pain station to connect with his teams’ Ruckers)
6.) The Entourage around Shield
7.) Slow Jams and the Lake Ridge Wanders
8.) Lake Wylie’s Wild Thing drinking Whiskey and enjoying a Big Mac (great to see these guys from across the bridge here for the CSAUP)

Afterwards at the Print Shop, we celebrated the Dam 2 Dam fundraising effort where The Fort is sending $7,500 to Defend the Fatherless, $7,500 to Autism Strong, $7,500 to the Fort Mill Care Center, and $10,000 to the F3 the Fort endowed scholarship.

It is an honor to be part of The Fort alongside some amazing high impact men. On behalf of Grinder and the entire planning crew, this backblast is respectfully submitted by the smallest cog in the Jaeger machine—Band Camp.
