Beaker Mayhem Beatdown

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH, Moroccan Night Clubs, Low Slow Squats, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Carolina Dry Docks, Plank to Downward Dog to Honeymooners
THE THANG:
There were plenty of sandbags to go around.

PAX split up into groups of 3, each group with a sandbag and everyone with a KB.

Routine went as followed:
1 PAX jog/walk with the sandbag to the other end of the parking lot and back while the other 2 PAX perform workout. PAX 2 takes sandbag, goes to the other end and back while other 2 performs workout. This goes on until all 3 have carried the sandbag. Then workout switches.
After 2 workouts everyone planks up until the 6 gets in, then performs 7 manmakers as a group.

Repeat 2 more times

Workouts as followed:

Squats – Merkins – Manmakers
Beakers (A Uhaul with an added overhead press) – Rows – Manmakers
Flutter kicks – Calf Raises – Manmakers

Wrapped up with some Chest press – Freddie Mercury Jack Webs

Lots of mumble chatter about fupas and legs not working.

Great job guys! Thanks for the Q!

Beaker out!

Leave a comment

BLOCK PARTY Q – 03May2022
• Warm Up in the lot a minute or two with windmills, merkins, some stretching…

• 5 stops:
1. Parking lot Startex
2. Lot next to Hobo’s/Gazebo
3. Lot by Blue Ridge Financial Planning/MacAulay and Assoc
4. Lot just before corner at FM Dentistry
5. Lot after Bank

Round 1 – No Brick – at each stop:
– 15 burpees (each partner must do them all)
Round 2 – Take Brick – at each stop (each partner must do them all):
– 20 curls
– 20 Shoulder Press
– 20 Flutter with Press (double count – count the presses)

NMM:
– Olaf made coffee. At the AO. Plugged into a light pole. No one was surprised.
– Everyone likes running with Cinderblocks
– That is a lie.
– Fresh Prince came for his second post today. He did not break, so we presume he will be back.
– @peanutbutter was a no-show. I cried a little.
– Olaf and Johnny Utah almost kept up with Maximus and YHC, but we had a second block advantage. Basically it means they were CRUSHING it.
– Trucker only complained a little.
– That is a lie.

This is my report.

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.

WARMUP: run up the big hill, merkins (10), mountain climbers (20), little stretching, low slow squats (10), windmills (8), distraction 1 —> car drove by = 1 burpee
THE THANG: distractions.
– For every car or plane we saw or heard = 1 burpee that increased by 1. We made it to 10 burpees by the end. There was a 10 second buffer as well as a max out of 3 cars as we approached areas where more cars would be seen. No planes so that was weird.
– Light posts = 10 merkins. Treated these in clusters since there are a lot of lights and yes, lights had to be on.
– “Fort Mill” signs = 30 LBCs.
– Doors to the school, or any door = 20 squats. Again, clusters because there are a lot of doors. – Benches = 20 step ups total.
– Parking spots that had a 1 + 0 = 10 bomb jacks. Max of 3 sets in 1 area as this added up quickly.
– overall, we ran all over campus in a bit of a scavenger hunt / bingo / distraction mentality
MARY: made up for some MARY with a final set of squats and final set of 10 burpees
ANNOUNCEMENTS: AKA, bourbon tasting, Doty race…read your newsletter
COT: distractions are too easy throughout your day. What are you doing to be focused if you have a goal? Do you have a way to “remind” you? Do you write this “thing” on a piece of paper and look at it throughout your day? Do you look your M or 2.0s in the eye when they are speaking to you? Are you present or distracted and do you know it?

16 PAX for The Fort and 6 PAX for Milllkshake on a lovely spring morning

Battlebot started off with disclaimer and straight into warmups in the amphitheater parking lot… first warmup exercise he called was Goofballs, and with that the milllkshake crowd had seen enough and split.

We then began a mosey on trail towards Harris Street Park with a pain stations along the way

use full length of basketball court – high knees there, duck walk back

10 reps each exercise-

use benches – Bulgarian Split Squat, Incline Merkins, Step Ups, Derkins, Dips

use swingset – pullups

Burpees

Run halfway back up trail towards WEP until you get to the beer bottle, turn around and hit the full circuit again

 

BattleBot handed Q to YHC at about 0658 and we began our mosey back towards WEP – about 3/4 of the way back we stopped for 25 LBCs (IC)

Continued to WEP playground where we partnered up for a DORA – Partner 1 exercises while partner 2 runs from playground to the statue on the hill.

Exercises:

50 reverse pushups on swings (short on swings so a couple groups got to do 50 pullups)

100 hand release merkins

150 squats

 

We finished up the last 7-8 minutes with a HIIT 45Sec ON 15Sec OFF doing the following exercises:

Burpees, Freddy Mercuries, High Knee Taps,  SSH,  In&Outs, Side to Side Squats, Shoulder Taps

 

Congregated back at the parking lot with about 30 seconds to spare and Al Gored to finish at 0730.

 

Got through announcements and started Prayers/Praises before I realized I forgot Name-a-Rama.  Another reminder that I am surely not a professional.

Thanks for the opportunity Grinder
