Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH. Cherry Pickers, Merks, Rebel Merks, Diamond Merks, Imperial Walkers, Nightclubs, Squats, Honey Mooner, Downward Doggie, Windmills, Mosey…
THE THANG: Keep it simple: Mini – Ladder – start at 5 reps w each rung in ladder adding one rep ( 6, 7, 8, and 9) 5 Bomb Jax, 6 Diamond Merks, 7 Big Boys, 8 Donkey Kicks, 9 Seal Jax!
Next up – some 11s ( that Bass couldn’t wait to get started )
We started top of the hill with Bobby Hurleys then moseying down around the bend and up the Hill to a spot so close to the starting point ( other side of road) and knocked out Plank Jax to keep the math working…
Called an audible half way thru to assist with the hill climbs and descents- finished out the 11s on a flatter area of the entrance. Almost infringed on the Minnow Pond parameters ( but who was measuring the total ground covered??)

MARY: 4 mins of Mary completed with a solid use of Heels to Heaven by Gemini who challenged the Pax up to a 15 count ….when the mumblechatter began after passing the standard 10 count! Nice work by all!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Yes!!
COT: Prayers for Geraldine who was being comforted at Hospice ( prayers for Slash and family), Family ( teenagers for ChickHawk), health and fellowship as we head into Summer.

WARMUP: Intro and disclaimer. Began rucking down towards the round about. stopped to do some curls, Squats and overhead press. all OYO.
THE THANG: Kept rucking to the far end of the Sunbelt parking lot. stopped to do some SSH, merkins, stretching, up and down dog. Rucks on and hiked it over behind Starbucks. Held AL Gore for a message about allowing ourselves to let others serve us. I talked about how grateful my family is from the outpouring of love we have received from so many people after my M’s surgery. Do not be affraid to allow others to serve you, you do not have to do the hard stuff alone. Rucked around to the back of the pond area and stopped behind the ale house. More curls, Squats and overhead press but in cadence. Rucked back to COT.

Bo-berry day

Leave a comment

Quick disclaimer then mosey over to front of school. Some basic warm-ups: SSHs, windmills (with appropriate amount of moaning), mtn climbers, parkers. Lap around drop off line to show everyone the .25 mile loop.

The Bo-berry mile (no clue where this name came from). 10 burpees, 15 merkins, 20 squats, run a lap. Repeat this series 4 times.

Partner up for some jump overs. P1 does a burpee while P2 holds plank. P2 then drops to 6″ hold while P1 jumps over to do burpee on other side. 10 burpees for P1 then flapjack. Repeat but this time only do 8 each partner.

Mosey over to benches under awning. 5 box jump burpees, 10 derkins, 15 dips, then run to stop sign and back. Rinse and repeat.

Mosey back for about 4 rounds of abs before times up and COT. Lots of chatter about FishStix’s form today but it was hard to really tell b/c he was usually so far in front of everyone. Great work by all this morning and thanks Headspin for chance to Q!

Proceeded to run some more, and stopped at the band practice lot. Did “Munitions factory”:
Pax do low plank for 1 min (this is home), then bear crawl about 100 yards (this is your commute), then do work at your factory making BOMBS (pax do 25 each of: burpees, OH claps, merkins, big boy sit ups, squats), then commute back home doing a nur, then plank for the six.

Then we ran to the pull up bars.

Did 6 pull ups and 6 toes-to-bar

Next run back to shovel flag for some mary…we did the Sally (Moby’s Flower) routine where leg raises for “bring sally up” and 6 inch leg hold on “bring sally down”.

Fini, COT.
