Met at the ROF for a little bit of this and a little bit of that

Leave a comment

Normally, I’m the type of PAX that likes to create routines where you complete a lot of reps of a few different exercises when I Q a workout. Decided to switch it up a bit, and as my man JWOW like to say, we did a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but a whole lot of work was put in!

WARMUP: 3 minute mosey followed by all of the usual suspects with a proper call out – NEISPMICE. If you know you know!

THE THANG: After our warm-up we found ourselves next to the bars, shocker!!!

Partner #2 10 Thrusters w/ Cindy
After partner #2 completes 10 Thrusters, Partner #1 completes a max of 5 pullups and can come off of the bar while part#2 must complete 10 Diamond Merkins before switching to the bar.

Moseyed to a wall.

20 second extended arm plank hold w/ feet on the wall – right into 10 merkins w/ feet on the wall.

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.
