Little bit of rain and jacked up jack webbs

Leave a comment

WARMUP: collected in the parking lot, very quick disclaimer and off we went. Ran a nice big lap around the baseball fields, settled in for some SSH, windmills, low slow squats, and then we went into a Jack Webb. Senator wanted to go faster in the Jack Webbs but Uber started to get air.
THE THANG: Ran over to hole #2 where we did 3 exercises.
1. 10 diamonds at the tee box
2. 10 jump squats at the valley
3. 10 4-count flutters at the green

Then rinse and repeat in reverse starting at the green with the diamonds and back to the tee box. We did this 3 times and running back to the tee box was horrible and very hilly and it’s as terrible as I remember it.

We ran back to the Runde parking lot for some 4 corners.
1. 20 CDD
2. 10 hammer sprinter combos (hammer left/right, into left/right crunch)
3. 20 merkins with (Parker Peter into Peter Parker – so 4 merkins for each Peter movement)
4. See #2 again

Rinse and repeat 2x more times but cut the numbers in 1/2 because some of this looked better on paper.
MARY: Airborne special along with some Superman.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D awareness
COT: of course!

Something with hyenas

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Showing up to the small crew of misfits was honestly a treat. After the disclaimer, we started with a short and slow mosey. 30 seconds in, the mumblechatter and “complaining” was alive. The mosey was about 1/4 mile, maybe. We did these exercises for the warmup with some pausing, some gasping, some stopping: SSH, windmills, low slow squats, merkins, back and quad stretches.
THE THANG: As we moved over to the turnabout area in front of the football field, YHC had 10 exercises with rep counts written down.
1. Plank horizontal pull throughs- 10
2. plank vertical pulls – 10 (up/down 1 arm is 1)
3. 1/4 Turkish get up – 5/side
4. Hammer twist each side into sprinter sit up- 10
5. Dying cockroach with straight arm kb extension – 10
6. Kb swings – 20
7. lunge with kb leg pass through – 10
8. Kneeling wood chops with kb – 10/side
9. Flutter with kb straight arm hold – 20 double count
10. Plank row with Parker Peter- 10 per side

After round 1 we did a short mosey (or partial mosey) and back for rinse and repeat until time ran out…ended after #8.

You had to be here for the Kielbasa stories.
MARY: core was a focus area during workout so no Mary today.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: blood drive, D2D bar, Feb Epic fundraiser
COT: enjoyed the chatter with these guys and did a quick around the horn for prayers and praises.

Bing was in town. It was a real good time.

Leave a comment

Bing probably has a much more interesting version of all this, but suffice it to say, it was a good time. I went first half and Bing ended the hour. It’s not going to be a great backblast, but it will capture the fact that there were men there and what their names were. That’s gotta count for something…

WARMUP:
We did.

THE THANG:
We lifted some stuff. Then Bing made us do a lot of Bear Crawling and something called a “Pit of Misery”. Hateful stuff…

MARY:
No chicks.

Test Taking Anxieties

Leave a comment

Pledge of Allegiance right at 05:16 ( a little late due to mumblechatter)
WARMUP: Quick warmup right in the parking lot. All double count.
15 SSH
10 WM
15 IW
15 MNC
Then off to the corner of Main and Confederate to start the Thang.
THE THANG: The APFT – Army Physical Fitness Test
2 mile run
2 min of Merkins, AMRAP
2 min of big boy situps, AMRAP
Form matters or else it is not a rep.

Starting at the corner of Main and Confederate, the loop for the run was 4 laps of
– Down Main
– L on Academy
– L on Withers
– L on Confederate
– Back to corner on Main – that’s about .47 mi. Repeat 4X.
– 4th lap ended about halfway down Academy to make it an even 2 miles.

Everyone crushed it! Cubbie was king on the run, just below 8min pace. Tesh absolutely killed the merkins. Cubbie was also king on BBSUs.

Since the APFT calculator’s final scoring is based on age, the younger you are, the harder it is to pass, Tesh barely failed, but IMO he crushed it. That’s just fuel for next time.

I plan on Q-ing the APFT once a quarter to track progress.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the newsletter. Get involved!

COT: The holiday season is a time for family, friends, and joy. Not everyone may have that in their lives right now. If you see or know someone in that situation, consider being the one that brings joy into their lives during the holidays.

Also, the holiday seasons – Thanksgiving and Christmas namely – are a time when most people open their hearts, and wallets, and give more than usual. That’s a blessing for sure, and I am not taking that for granted, but imagine how much better this world would be if everyone would do that all year around. We should not need the holiday season to encourage that from others, we should be living in love every day, just like He did.

Blessings,
