COT: Rumbling Bald asked for a challenging workout, hopefully this delivered.

I struggle to push myself with an AMRAP style IronPAX workout like Thang 1. Usually I get bored and my motivation wanes after round 3. So, I switched it up and called the reps. This was to keep me motivated as much as the PAX.

https://f3nation.com/get-right is never over because “The Time is Always Now.”

If something isn’t solid in your world, what are you gonna do about it? The time is now.
Put aside your ego, doubts, fears, worry, hesitations, past, limiting beliefs, and get started. The time is now.
You know what needs to be done. Gentlemen, the time is now.

“There is never a time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge
is in the moment, the time is always now.”
—James Baldwin

Grateful to share the gloom with you this morning

Shoulders and Shuffling

WARMUP: Disclaimer and light jog to the space between Walgreens and Jersey Mikes for COP
THE THANG:
COP (all in cadence): SSH x 25, Squat x 25, Mountain climber x 25, Freddie Merc x 20, LBC x 25, Windmill x 10, Diamond merkin x 15, back and shoulder stretch LH/RH, Jump squats x 20
Make a loose formation and mosey to the HT lot near the brick landscaping wall on the left side of the lot. The Pax stopped 4 times and did 5 burpees at each stop on the way to the wall.

At the wall, we did 11’s. Decline merkins and dips OYO (crowd pleaser).

Mosey about 20 yards from the wall and plank it up facing the wall. Hold plank/6″/elbow plank while the Pax, one by one, ran to the wall, did 3 box jumps or step-ups, and ran back.

Mosey to a section of striped lot across two rows and side shuffle along the striped rows in a zipper fashion for 6-7 rows. At the end of each row, do a burpee. Al Gore for the 6. Rinse and repeat back to the start, substituting bomb jacks.

Mosey to the small grassy area next to the landscaping wall for a traditional Jack Webb (1:4, merkins and overhead claps to 10)

Mosey to COT for Mary.

MARY: Box cutter x 20, American hammer x 20, Hello Dolly x 20, Superman hold x 2

Whew – summer’s coming. There’s much more sweat today than in the past few weeks. We hit the shoulders hard today with the 11’s and Jack Webb’s. I think those will be felt tonight. Great to see <@U07TVBVVC3X> today and looking forward to his V-Q next week at GC. Everyone put out a great effort today, and it’s always a pleasure to lead the Pax at <#C02PFBMMZL6> – one of my favorite AO’s of The Fort! Thanks again for the Q-spot <@U01CGBKBQ64>
