Sparty Start

Leave a comment

Short mosey run

Warmup: SSH (20xI/C); windmills; Imperial Walkers; Moroccan N/C; Low Slow Sqts; big arm circles; peter parkers; plank stretches

Thang 1: Mini-Spartan:
Start at bottom of hill, run up to pull up bars, do 10 pull-ups, then out to the street and crawl under the barbed wire (2 wires), then farmers carry cinder blocks about 100 feet out and back, drop blocks, back to the bars and do 10 toes-to-bar, run back to bottom of the hill and rinse/repeat.

Barbed wire detail:
Two cinder blocks staked horizontally, string a cargo strap across to another stack of two cinder blocks.

Place a second set of barbed wire ten feet further down. Two-block height worked well in my opinion, it’s a real crawl underneath and not a bear crawl. Top view:

IronPAX week -1???

Leave a comment

WARMUP: lots of stuff to get everyone loose
THE THANG: Cindies at the bottom of the hill by elementary school.
Called 11s on the hill with Manmakers at the bottom and Leg lifts over your head at the top while holding onto your block behind you for an anchor. 10 Manmakers at bottom to start so the bad stuff only gets less

Had to cut short around 3/8 or 4/7 for most so we could get back to COT and do about 8 min of cooldown and stretching.

We don’t stretch enough after working out. It would be one thing if guys hung out after a workout and stretched but we usually want to rush off or stand around and talk. Instead of trying to fill the last 5 min with random pain or Mary around the circle call some stretches. At most of our ages it probably would benefit more than the 5 min of exercises you squeeze in.

Dude Where’s My Car

Leave a comment

I’ve wanted to do this workout for YEARS! I was always worried we wouldn’t have enough time to do it.
WARMUP: 10 SSH, 5 Windmills
THE THANG: The Dude Where’s My Car workout is to do a rep in every parking space in the lot. There are 242 parking spots on the left side of the NaFo parking lot when facing the school from the field. Each row was an exercise, and you performed a rep in each spot. It went as follows:
Row 1 (25 spots) 1 Mountain Climber, then Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 2 (25 spots) 1 Bobby Hurley
Row 3 (26 spots) 1 Plank Jack, then Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 4 (27 spots) 2 Lunges
Row 5 (28 spots) 2 Merkins (this felt much like a burpee when you then got up to move to the next spot)
Row 6 (24 spots) 5 Calf Raises
Row 7 (22 spots) 2 sets of Shoulder Taps and Bear Crawl to the next spot
Row 8 (16 spots) 2 Big Boys
Row 9 (16 spots) 1 Burpee
Row 10 (12 spots) 1 Squat
Row 11 ( 10 spots) 1 Hand Release Merkin
Row 12 (11 spots) 10 single count Flutters
MARY: Since we didn’t find the car, we ran around the school to ensure we got it. Then we found our cars when we got back to COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: T&H tomorrow. Bethel Serve opportunity 9/5/24.
COT: Prayers for kids going to college, marriages and travel.

Thanks for the push and opportunity to lead a great group of men!
