Funbags and whining

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, side straddle hops, windmills
THE THANG: Indian run w/ 40# sandbags. Front guy gives bag to next guy, drops to do 5 merkins, then sprints to rejoin line telling front person to pass bag. Broke into 2 teams and did that for a lap. Then stayed in teams and did sandbag pass back, last person runs with bag to front. Did this across field Then down to bottom of big hill. At bottom of hill, stay in 2 teams. Both teams had to complete 100 burpees, 200 merkins, 300 LBCs, 200 squats, 100 bent over rows w/sandbag, 5 laps running up hill, and 3 laps with sandbag up hill. These were totals by team. Sandbags were not to be dropped at all 5 burpee penalty for dropping bags, no penalties for the first 30 minutes.
Back to the grassy area to pick up the 60# Funbags, 3 Pax decided to run away before more pain was inflicted.
Next evolution was the tunnel of love; form a line and stay in plank position about 3 ft apart from other pax, pull/drag the sandbags sideways until we reach the other side of the field, back to start with same movement.
We formed two teams of 5, movements:
– sand bag toss (sideways) using only 60 # bags, alternate between all pax, across the field and back, loosing team did 5 burpees.
– squat, clean and toss with 60# bag, across the field and back, losing team did 5 burpees.
– bear crawl sand bag pull/drag, across the field and back, loosing team did 5 burpees.
Lots of whining coming from a few pax.
Done with sandbags, 10 burpees for everyone. Run to pull up bars, two rounds of 5 pull ups for everyone.
Back to COT, one minute AMRAP hand release merkins. Most pax completed 30 reps, a few pax more than 40, form was of the essence.

COT: prayers for all pax and family members that are going through health issues.

Tinsel out!

Mostly Respectables

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Imperil walkers Followed by LBC’s Followed by Low Slow Squats
THE THANG: The Chunk of the workout was: 7 light post. 5 merkins at each light post. Transportation was running to each. Once you get to next light post you must run back to the beginning and do 5 merkins at every light post ect ect. the fore runners where Fogerty, Bassomatic, The Twister and Senator Tressel

After we completed there was a nice hill next to the drive and I decided lets go exploring. so we made our way to the bottom where 5 of us stayed and did mountain climbers (Senator Tressel call by the way) while the other 4 Pax NURED up the gravel hill. Once at the top they yelled down to us and we NURED up the gravel hill while they did 10 Burpees. Once we made it to the top we did 10 burpees. By the time we finished the Burpees the 45 min clock was looming in so we made our way back to COT.
Once we arrived we got on our six and just spent 2 min in the quite listening, smelling the air, and just being still. we are way to often on the go and never take time to just be and be in that moment.

Once again grateful for the opportunity to Q

Tengo at The Ballroom

Leave a comment

It was a thick humid morning in The Fort, but eleven HIM decided to get out of the fart sack and take their daily dose of the red pill and accelerate. FNG Red Card posted so the disclaimer was thorough and so was the pain!
Warmup:
20 Side Strattle Hops
10 Windmills
10 Tappy Taps
10 Merkins
Down/Up Dogs 🐕
LBCs

Mosey/Toy Soliders/Kareoke over to the bridge of pain for a Tengo with Dora.
Partner 1: Run across the bridge to the locker room and back.
Partner 2: 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 Flutters

Next lunge over to the bleachers for some bleacher work. I took a deep dive into the archives of the exicon for this next exercise called the Aiken Legs. Was it named after Clay Aiken or Aiken SC? That is the deep mystery of the exicon (from the exicons lips to God’s year).

Aiken Legs:
20 Squats
20 Step Ups
20 Clave Raises

Aiken Chest:
20 Merkins
20 Derkins
20 Incline Merkins

Aiken Abs:
20 V-Ups
20 Crunches
20 Lowe Back Raises

Moseyed back to COT for prayer ans praises.

Locking Shields, a how to…

Leave a comment

Great Invergence today at WEP to close out an entire month of acceleration.

Now that we have finished a month of accelerating HIMs all over the Fort, how do we maintain that acceleration?

Answer? ACCOUNTABILITY!

Best way to execute accountability? Locking shields with fellow PAX.

Best way to consistently lock shields? Join a Shield Lock.

Today we heard from some 🛡🔒 PAX sharing experiences, advice and offering up themselves to their fellow PAX to learn the power of 🛡🔒.

To know more, ask a PAX that was present.

Need guidance or advice moving forward?  Reach out to @Pusher and he will point you in the direction of success and accountability.

Using a Sandbag Timer at The Ranch

Leave a comment

IT was a warm windy morning (but dry) as we all gathered at The Ranch.  We began with a quick warm-up of SSH, Monkey Humpers (for Bobber as he drove in), Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, Windmills and Moroccan Night Clubs.

We then moseyed over the the front of the school to be a bit protected from the wind and did 2 sets of wall sits with a 10 count down the line followed by plank-45 degree, BTW each for about 20 seconds.  It should be noted that during this portion Bobber seemed very confused that further movements would follow the pervious one and seemed to be trying to get a jump start heading back to the parking lot each time.  The look of confusion as he returned to the wall was priceless… each time…

The body of the work consisted of AMRAP of the following movements with the timer being a PAX shuffling with a 60lb sandbag (120 for Bobber) to the painted rock and back. Several PAX commented that this list seemed similar to Tuesday only without the set number of reps, to which I pretended not to have heard… I mean there are only so many options right? Plus I’m sure I added at least a few new things… I hope…

  • Squats
  • Merkins
  • Monkey Humpers
  • Donkey Kicks
  • Calf Raises
  • Mountain Climbers
  • Side Straddle Hops
  • Al Gore with Moroccan Night Clubs
  • Box Cutter
  • Plank Jack
  • Dry Docks
  • Seal Jacks
  • Flutters
  • Shoulder Taps

We completed about 3 rounds and then returned for COT
