Modified Laredo – Cowboy Up!

Leave a comment

Wasn’t a coincidence that I participated in GTE-59 where we had the opportunity to complete the Laredo WOD during the event, then was DR in Houston, TX for a week – birthplace of our fallen hero, and then was asked to lead the Honey Badger workout the following Monday. So, this morning we honored Staff Sgt. Laredo who gave everything for his WHY. What are willing to give, or give up for your WHY?

WARMUP: Regular culprits were performed with the proper call out – NEISPMICE

THE THANG:
Normal Laredo WOD is the following:
24 – Merkins
24 – Squats
24 – Walking Lunges
Run 400meters
Complete 6 rounds

This morning we amped it up a bit:
24 – Man Makers w/Cindy
24 – Squats w/ Cindy
24 – Walking Lunges w/Cindy
Run 400meters

Completed 6 rounds for a total of :
144 – MMs w/ Cindy

Don’t Carry Your Burdens Alone

Leave a comment

Theme: How are you carrying your burdens?

Think about these things:

How the weight of your burdens feels as you physically move around.

How hard would it be to carry multiple burdens at a time?

How hard would it be to carry these burdens alone?

How does it feel to lay your burdens down?

Carry the Burden

Brick never leaves you. Hold it in one hand, carry to chest, overhead, do push ups on it, etc.

Thang

4 stations around Veterans Park/Main Street. 2 exercises at each station. 10 reps each.

Station 1 – Veterans Park
American Hammer and LBCs

Station 2 – Hobos
Merkins and Curls

Station 3 – Top of Main
Thrusters and Reverse Lunges

Station 4 – FM Pharmacy
OH Press and Shoulder Raises

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. – Matthew 11:28

Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. – 1 Peter 5:7

A burden shared is a burden halved.

The weight you carry today builds the strength you’ll need tomorrow.

FYF: The Red Rocket Chronicles

Leave a comment

9 (or maybe 10 and I can’t remember who the 10th was) found a safe space while <@U012K8DDK7V>‘s dog microaggressed a bunch of them with his red Rocket at Currahee…
– Ruby Slippers flew in 10 minutes early to be 5 minutes late
– Falcon Crest was hoodwinked early in his rucking career by Mainframe into buying a 45# plate, which is something he is sure he’ll eventually be grateful for
– 3D’s GTE prep continues, but he doesn’t mind if it doesn’t include any more Crawl Bears
– Italian Job only sang 3 90’s hits, which is indicative of how tired he must be from his weekend in Wichita
– For a hearing doctor, Decibel claimed a lot of “unable to hear” for his lack of compliance with instructions
– fishstix taught us his award winning atomic wedgie techniques to be employed at a later time. Probably when you aren’t looking.

Evolution 1 = 1-mile time hack – 14 minutes to complete
– Starting at corner of school, around big loop clockwise, turn left to go behind the school. Take the outside lane in the small lot, then take a left around the big loop and continue to the flags at entrance of school

– 18 man-makers – buy in
– 26 curls
– 26 merkins

REPEAT if time (minus the man-makers — we forgot the deadlifts)
