Arms & Legs So Bad It Still Hurts

Leave a comment

<@UST30T7FF> and <@U01JUGK82TY> were Co-Q’s for the day. We decided to split it up by muscle groups. Ruby started first with arms and then Splinter took over with legs.
WARMUP: Warmup-y things.
THE THANG: Ruby’s 1/2:
Mosey to the playground for a all arms DORA. MOT is bear crawl 20 yards out and crawl bear 20 yards back to the playground, Exercises & Reps: At the swing set put your feet in the swing to get into a position to perform derkins, bring your knees to your chest while in plank position and then extend, then complete 1 derkin, that is 1 rep, partners complete 50reps, then 75 reps of a Merkin/ParkerPeter combo exercise, and then 100 reps of a WideArmMerkin/ShoulderTaps combo exercise. ARMS WERE BE SMOKED!!!
Splinter’s 1/2:
Indian Run 1 lap around WEP. Unfortunatly, becase Ruby killed us in the 1st half, we lost 60% of the PAX on the lap. Then we regrouped for some step-ups on the park benches, some calf raises then ran over to the hill. We lined up and raced up the hill not knowing what was going to be required of the winner and losers. Since there were 10 of us (to start) 1st Place did 1 more run up the hill and 100 squats, 2nd place 2 more runs up the hill and 90 squats, and so on. Second go round was 1st Place, 1 run up the hill and 100 lunges, 2nd place 2 more runs up the hill and 90 lunges and so on.
<@U035XDY7ABC> started talking to a guy at the top of the hill. He ended up EH’ing him on the spot to finish the last set and Mary. Welcome The Apostle.
MARY: 4 minutes of Mary

NMM
When we’re young, our heroes wear capes. As we age, our new heroes wear flaws, scars, and wisdom. They quietly show up, do the work, and expect no applause. Growing up isn’t about losing heroes, it’s about finding real ones.

You men are my heroes. You each have special gifts that I admire. You may not see it, but we do. Spending time in the Gloom with you men makes me better. Thank you.

King of the Ring – Round 2 – The Rocket Burner

Leave a comment

Ring of Fire – King of the Ring Challenge
Round 2 – Previous Kings are Q
Oh the humidity was cranked up!! Soupy swampy hot. ZERO breeze. Excellent mumblechatter in COT while we all stretched out. Senator Tressel came in hot, but caught up to us on the warmup run. 13 dawgs let loose!!

Warmup:
Slow run loop around the parking lot, approx. 400-500m, then circle up near COT for the following:
– 20 SSH
– 10 WM
– 15 MNC
– 15 IW
– 10 Strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the USMC JROTC building, roadway near the sidewalk to the pull-up bars for…..

THE THANG:
The Rocket Burner Circuit
Setup: 5 stations, each with an exercise. Some have modes of transportation listed to get to the next station. PAX are to grab 2 cinder blocks from storage and put them on the roadway near the sidewalk to the pull up bars. Then get after it. Cones were used to mark station locations. Station 1 was at the pull-up bars, station 2 was at the roadway, beginning of sidewalk to pull-up bars, station 3 was along the roadway, towards A.O. Jones, approx. 5-60 yds away, station 4 was same location as station 2, station 5 was at bottom of hill at stop sign. That is the circuit.
Do the work. No music, just work. Once all stations are done, scoring of one round is once you return to station 1 to start over. King is the one who does the most rounds.
Stations and MoT are:
1. 5 pull-ups, frolick (walk, skip, whatever) to #2
2. With one cindy, 15 overhead presses, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #3
3. With one cindy, 15 curls, then farmer’s carry BOTH blocks to #4
4. With BOTH cindies, 15 deadlift into calf raise. Full up, full down. Then no more cindies. Run downhill to #5.
5. 5 burpees, 20 lunges (10 ea leg), 25 LBC. Run uphill to #1
6. That is one round
7. Repeat

WINNER IS: BAND CAMP!! He was a machine, cranking out almost 6 full rounds (or was it 6 full, started on 7th?). Harry Carry was hot on his heels. Everyone cranked out at least 3. I got 4 full, started on 5th, but threw in the towel after pull-ups. A lot of excellent mumblechatter and push/pull from each PAX. Guys were REALLY going after it, pushing hard. No cinder blocks were harmed, too. :blush:

Stored the cindies just in time to get back to COT right at 6.

MARY: None

Announcements: The Barry is coming!! Read your newsletter, get involved!!

COT: A lot of P&P lifted. Do not carry it all inside.

Cake Boss came up with a GREAT idea with this King of the Ring challenge. Looking forward to the next rounds!! BRING IT!!!

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Blessings and SYITG.

Thrillmas In July

Leave a comment

Twas the day after the 4th and all through the Yard not a creature was stirring except 7 pax who wanted to work out hard.

Drop Thrill was on Q and had a devious plan. There was too much shoulder work for Ruby to stand.

On Grogu on Ruby on Float Bridge on Harry, on Dojo on Rumbling Bald things are getting quite scary!

The Pax were quite quick and just in time, finished the twelfth day and complained about burpees and boy did they whine.

Thrill being a wise old elf, finally let the pax breathe in spite of himself.

As he rode out of sight, the Pax swore they could hear him shout : Happy Thrillmas in July and to all, a good night!

1-run
2- Wide Arm Merkins
3-Jump squats
4-LBCs
5-Diamond merkins
6-Imperial walkers
7-Rosalitas
8-Slow flutters
9-Low slow squats
10-Lunges (10 each leg)
11-Merkins
12-Burpees

Off Road Racing

Leave a comment

Per the hype graphic/msg, felt like we needed to workout on the field instead of pavement. Was excited about the rain last night and the additional nastiness it would bring to the workout. Arrived to the site only to be disappointed as I stepped onto the field, mildly soggy, no puddles. Oh well, the 95% humidity made up for the lack of water obstacles! Mapped out a rectangle – approx. 15yards wide and 30 yards long. Strategically placed 6 pain stations along the perimeter of the rectangle. Each pain station had instructions for the exercise to be completed before traveling to the next pain station. Also gave the PAX a MOT so they knew how to proceed to the next pain station. Asked the PAX to compete with one another, race, push themselves.

WARMUP: From COT had the PAX carry the bags onto the field and to the starting point of our rectangular track. Started with SSHx20IC at station #1 and then explained the exercise and MOT. Once all PAX confirmed they understood we moseyed to the next pain station, asked the PAX to perform 5 burpees OYO and then explained the exercise and MOT. Followed this process and decreased the burpee count to 1 as we reached the final pain station. Moseyed to the starting point and ready to go.

THE THANG: Complete as many laps as possible. FishStix was king of the 40lb bag carriers and I believe either DeepDish or Maximus was king of the 60lb bag carriers.

Pain Station #1: 10 – Man Makers
MOT – Backward OH Toss

Pain Station #2: 20 – Bear Hug Squats
MOT – Bear Crawl w/ Pull Through

Pain Station #3: 15 – DeadLifttoCleantoPress
MOT – Alt Side Toss

Pain Station #4: 20 – Sand Bag Swings
MOT – Rifle Carry

Pain Station #5: 20 – Wide Sumo Squats w/ Front Lateral Raise
MOT – Front Press Toss

Pain Station #6: 20 – Derkins ( Feet on the SB )
MOT – Rack SB on shoulders and shuffle

MARY: NONE
