Culture Club Wins!

Leave a comment

Played a classic game of Uno and <@UNKNC6XNZ> was the winner! No burpee penalties were issued! Great job.

Blue – Merkins / Curls
Green – LBC
Yellow – Squats / Goblet Squats
Red – lunges / Chest press

Skip – Run
+2 – pick 2 exercises, 2 reps
+4 – 4 reps all 4 exercise
Reverse – Repeat last exercise
Wild – Change color

<@U05RN7GSDLH> was doing his Site Q duties and looking for the next leader to pass the Shovel Flag :flag-us:on to. :pickup_truck:

<@U05K5D10AG6> and his canine friend were in full effect. Checking form and sniffing for clues. :dog2: :mantelpiece_clock:

<@U07QXBKKF5F> posted for only his third time but already looks like a pro! Good work! And happy birthday to his 2.0 (son) :partying_face:. Just keep posting.

<@UN6PTD007> brought all the deep dish pizza from Chicago he could find and was King of the workout. :pizza: :prince:

<@UNKNC6XNZ> was singing :microphone: Do You Really Want To Hurt Me? And my answer was yes, with all the lunges we did.

<@UST30T7FF> or… Ruby! Ruby! Ruby! (See Kaiser Chiefs) was always encouraging and probably the strongest man there. So much so that he left the workout on his own two feet. No car. :muscle:

<@U061P7HUFRR> was out selling insurance and running laps around guys half his age. :male-office-worker:

YHC was blessed to lead such a fine group of men who want to get 1% better today in their mind, heart and body.

My report is trueish and is open to interpretation.

The Thrill is gone. :v:

Thirty Twenty Ten

Leave a comment

Total of six pax for an awesome morning of wind and rain. I had to lash the flag to a light pole as anything else would have resulted in “flag down!”
Count was three for bootcamp and three for IPC make-up.
Bootcampers had 1980’s tunes going and did the below.
Brief warmup: SSH, windmills, stretches.
Thang: 30-20-10
Pax do 30 reps of two exercises, then do 20 reps, then do 10 reps. Run a loop (we used the bus loop). Then proceed to the next pair of exercises. One exercise of each pair used a cinder block. The exercise pairs were:
Curls (w/ cindy) – Crunches
–run loop–
KB Swings – Flutters (count only right leg)
–run loop–
Merkins – goblet squat
–run loop–
OH Press – Pickle pointers
–run loop–
Chest press – big boy sit ups
–run loop–
Side bends – leg raises
–run loop—
Curls (w/ cindy) – Crunches
Fini
COT
30-20-10 because (in my mind/experience) 30 is the limit to executing with good form. I tend to get sloppy after that. The get down and get up aspect between exercises adds something.

Why Break Tradition?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None needed

THE THANG: Why break tradition. I’ve visited this AO a handful of times and on all but 1 occasion we ran Holbrook. Well, guess what we did this morning, run Holbrook. I would like to say thanks to my SL for all of the running we’ve done lately preparing for a 1/2 marathon. This was the first time I finished the route in under 45 minutes. Got to hang with Time Machine as he was my pacer. Thanks for the push brother!

75mins, a little complexity, a lot of effort

Leave a comment

The image of the board will be used as the workout details but in case others want to use this, here are a few notes to consider:
– Split the group if needed.
– Predetermine a good distance for the Mode of Transportation (M.O.T.) and ensure it’s clearly articulated.
– Keep repeating the “Thang” section until every PAX completes 1 time on the M.O.T.
– Give example of the exercise before that “Thang” section, not all examples in the beginning.
– Open to other feedback
WARMUP:
THE THANG: See image.

Dick Webb, AB Board of Pain, and Lifting Heavy Things

Leave a comment

Pulled into WEP and parked at the little lot at the top of the hill. Had to unload some heavy things before heading down the hill to plant the flag at the COT area.

WARMUP: Stayed in the COT area for warmups.
SSHx25IC, WMsx7IC, IWsx10IC, CPsx10IC, HBWsx10IC, MNCx10IC. Completed the warmup by moseying from COT to the playground at WEP.

THE THANG:
Thang #1: Asked the PAX to find a spot where they can perform pullups ( or modify ) and merkins. DICK WEBB – 1st exercise 1-10 – Pullups, 2nd exercise 4-40 – Merkins. Totals = 55 Pullups & 220 Merkins, arms were smoked.

Thang #2: There is small parking lot at the top of the hill. This was our lifting area. Weinkie in this area is written below:
Sandbag = 5 ManMakers
Cindy = 5 Thrusters
2 – 35lb Dumbells = 5 Squat/Curl/OHPress
SlamBall = 5 OH Slams
20lb Rope & 50lb Sandbag pull = pull for 20 yards around the cones set-up in the area.

At the bottom of the hill heading down to the COT parking lot there was an AB BOP – See below:
100 – LBCs
90 – Flutters
80 – Penguin Touches
70 – Freddy Mercurys
60 – Reverse Crunches
50 – Mountain Climbers
40 – Big Boy Situps
30 – Straight Lower Leg Lifts
20 – American Hammers
10 – V-Sits

The routine was simple. Starting at the bottom of the hill complete the 1st exercise on the AB BOP. NUR to the top of the hill and enter into the lifting area. Grab a heavy thing and perform the described exercise ( asked the PAX to rotate which heavy things they lifted each turn ). Run back down to the bottom of the hill and perform the next exercise on the AB BOP. Rinse and repeat until complete.

MARY: NO TIME
