Webb-O-Rama

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH x13 while we wait for Twister
Mosey to small Springs parking lot right off 160
SSH x20
IW x10
Windmills x10
Flutters x10
Mountain Climbers x10
Mosey to Millstone Park

THE THANG: Webb-O-Rama
4 cones set up along path heading from Millstone Park toward Main Street. On each cone were 2 exercises to be done in Jack Webb style (1:4 ratio)

Cone 1- 1 Burpee : 4 SSH
– >> Bear crawl to next station
Cone 2 – 1 Big boy sit up : 4 American Hammers
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 3 – 1 Knee tar N’Diaye : 4 Squats
– partner wheelbarrow to next station
Cone 4 – Traditional Jack Webb –
– >> Run down to Main Street then around to first station

Instead of doing all 10 reps at once, we broke it up into 3 rounds.
Round 1: 1-4
Round 2: 5-7
Round 3: 8 and 9 for cone 1, then just 8 for cones 2-4 since we ran out of time.

Total mileage clocked in at 2.7 miles.

Lots of mumble chatter about runaway Q-drenaline, prime number counting, Knee tar N’Diayes speed, Weinke timing, and murder.

Thanks Kermit for the opportunity to lead!

Burpees with Bells

Leave a comment

Surprisingly cool morning here at WEP.

After a brisk 2 mile pre-run with Beaker we gathered Slash and began the workout.

5 minute buy – in

100 HR Merkins However every minute we had to run the hill to the entrance of the parking lot and then back down the hill once the second minute hit and vicea versa until the 5 minutes were up.

WOD: All Exercises are with a Bell. Curls, Merkins, Lunges are split between right and left. (so 25 per side for the Merkins)

30 Tri Extensions
30 Curls
40 Squats
50 Merkins
60 Swings
40 Thrusters
30 Lunges
30 Man- Makers

In addition every 3 minutes we had to run to the top of the hill again and do 3 burpees and run back.

One trip through the WOD got us to 5:57. We did some Mary that included Flutters, Big Boy’s, Hammers and a 1 minute plank to get us to 6:00.

Great workout and great fellowship this morning. We all mentioned how we like these smaller groups from time to time on how it increases accountability and encourages fellowship.

Thanks to Beaker for the opportunity! Until Next time!

Nice morning at The Armory.

Ran the bells across the lot. dropped and circled for a warm-up.
walkers (Imperial/Hillbilly), merkins, squats, LBC, Rinse & R.

7 boards set out. Rotate from one board to the next with a short run in between. Boards had bell exercise 15 count, both sides (L & R), non-bell exercise, finished by a 10 count bell exercise, both sides.

Returned across the lot with the boards and flipped the one at a time until time ran out.

Lots of lifting.

Thanks for the opportunity, first bell Q in many, many years.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

We warmed up and then dove into this year’s Mental Battle WOD which can be viewed here.

Mental Battle WOD 2023

Men don’t fight alone. Don’t live alone (no friends, family, community) and don’t forget about your brother.

With that The Thrill is gone.

There’s a 4-letter word that has dashed more dreams and held back more potential than any other. “Just.”
“You’re just not my type.”
“You’re just not smart enough for this class. Just quit now and save yourself the embarrassment.”
“You’re just not tall enough. You’re just not fast enough.”
“You’re just not college material.”
They said Jesus was just a carpenter from a nowhere town. They said his followers were just fishermen and outcasts. Just is a way people try to hold you back. Don’t let others tell you what you can’t do or who you can’t be. Just do it.
