Dark and Light

Leave a comment

WARMUP: buy in: running the short parking lot with a burpee at every light (16ish)

THE THANG: carry coupons down through the dark path to Harris Street Park. Squats along the way for the 6. It was dark, but not as dark in our souls as the return trip….

Found the parking lot, but nobody saw the pre-set lights on the basketball court. 30 tricep extensions, 30 curls, finally some mumblechatter of “we could have just done this in the original parking lot”

Moved over to the basketball court. 2 Bells (one heavy, one light) set at half court. Bear crawl to half-court and switch bells (either with the one already there or another PAX), then keep bear crawling. Return trip was lunge walks with the same principle. Did squats at one end, merkins at the other, and swings the third time.

The trip to COT was illuminated up Harris street; trading bells as needed and carrying all the gear.

MARY: she weighed 200lbs and came out of Clickbait’s truck with her twin sister. We had to get them back in.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Cannoli Run – 5/20.
Bethel Men’s Shelter service tomorrow (5/4)

COT: Continued prayers for Luka

Clemson in the parking lot?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Bandcamp took the warmup as YHC wrote in chalk in parking spaces. Shieldlocks do this for each other.
THE THANG: 5 min buy in. Carry a weight (ruck, kb, ruck plate) from the parking lot and up the hill over your head. Get to the top, 10 burpees, back down the hill with your toy over your head.

One we returned to parking lot, parking spaces were marked with 2 exercises and had weight in each space at varying sizes. Instructions were, do one exercise in the space and run to the top of the hill where you’d do another exercise written down starting at the top. Finish that 1 exercise and go back to the bottom spaces and grab a new space and perform exercise, then back up the hill for the 2nd exercise on the paper…and down and up, down and up.

Exercises in the spaces:
– 45 lbs (or 50+): 1. 30 shrugs 2. 100 calf raises
– 40 lb sandbag: 1. 20 man makers 2. 25 shoulder presses
– 35 lb: 1. 40 swings 2. 30 curls
– 30 lb: 1. 40 squats 2. 30 lunges
– 25 lb: 1. 25 tri extension 2. 30 rows
– 30 lb ruck: 1. 25 merkins 2. 30 chest press

Top of hill:
1. 10 burpees
2. 15 diamonds
3. 20 hand release
4. 25 wide arm
5. 30 merkins
6. 35 Rangers
7. 40 CDD
8. 45 plank jacks (this is as far as we got)

Some of us, BC, wore a weight vest because that’s what we do.

MARY: 1 min of American hammers
ANNOUNCEMENTS: cannoli
COT: luka and Vuvu, specter’s recent move

WARMUP: one side straddle hop
THE THANG: one dude runs down a hill and does 3 man makers with kettle bell whilst rest of pax does merkins and other exercises with random counts. Oh, we also made weird grunting noises at the bottom part of squats for no apparent reason.

FITS is on fire to trigger the alarm!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Goal 1, get moving. Check. Goal 2, listen to feedback, then action. Check.

Started with short mosey to front of school to distance us from the sweet sounds of the school fire alarm which was the indicator FITS was in the house (or that the mother of all Clemsons had been dropped by Slash).

We did a big tour of the school stopping to do 2-3 exercises at each stop where the warmup turned into “the Thang”.  He was the warmup portion: windmills, low slow squat, cherry pickers, imperial walkers, merkins, down dogs, honeymooner, lunges, CDD.
THE THANG: Making our way to the back of the school, we stopped at the picnic table benches when HarryCarrey said “look benches”. #ListenAction

The benches offered us a stop for dips and Bulgarian squats. Not wanting to stay in one place, we vacated to the pull up bars where we did pull-ups, 30 second hang, knee to chest lifts from the bar. Next stop was in front of the elementary school at the bottom of the hill. 6 count burpees and jump squats.

Next stop, back of the school for more benches and Astro turf. More dips, CDD, team sit-ups, and laughter ensued single file leg lift throw downs. Good for those still on the turf, not so good for those that ran out of turf.

Next stop, almost off school grounds in the way back for: diamond merkins and BandCamp favorite, calf raises. And more low slow squats.

As we made our way back to COT, we paid homage to Al Gore and shoulder taps. Back up the hill when HarryCarry said “what about derkins” where stopped at the top for derkins, but not the kind HC wanted. #ListenAction. Partner up for 20 derkins where partner 1 planked and partner 2 put feet on partner one to perform derkins – swap after 20. Stopped at pull up bars for more pull ups and leg lifts before COT.
MARY: Circle up for rotating Mary before 0600.

Message: always with listening, there’s an action to be taken. Not everyone has to like the action or the decision to not take an action, but that’s leading. Indecisiveness leads to lack of trust and fear of failure. Failing faster leads to growth, practice, and learning to prepare better.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter, new 3rdF AO post the Wild at heart series.
