Wheel of Gloom!!!

It was a little rainy but a lot windy for the Stockade debut of the Wheel of Gloom.

For those unfamiliar the wheel of gloom is each Pax taking turns spinning the Wheel. Each spot on the wheel denotes a workout with reps. Each rep is one point for the spinner… but all Pax do the exercises.

Exercises included burpees, Merkins, jump squats, LBCs, Freddy Mercury’s, Big Boys, among others.

The lighting round was a wheel of fortune type routine with correct letters earning points and wrong guesses resulting in LBCS.

Masterpiece solved the puzzle and racked up some big points.

Final round was a 1:00 minute Diamond Merkin Off between Masterpiece and Grassy Knoll.

Grassy won the final round and was given the chance to take a 4-pack of delicious White Claw OR choose what was in the box. Thankfully he chose the box and got a nice variety pack courtesy of Slapshots beer fridge. Masterpiece ended up with the Whiteclaw.

The point today was a decent workout with great fellowship. Thankful for those who showed. It was a fun time!

Until next time!

A gear WO broke out @ The Stockade

WARMUP: Arrived early and set-up the Harris Teeter parking lot as a battleground to deliver pain. Gave the disclaimer and we moseyed from COT to the battleground where I had 5 stations set-up. We moseyed to 4of the stations and completed SSH/IC/x20 and then made sure the PAX understood each exercise to be performed at that station. Last mosey was to the 5th station, where exercises were explained, enough talk, time to get to work!
THE THANG: Broke the PAX into 4 groups. Groups were dispersed to each of the 4 perimeter stations. At each of the 4 perimeter stations there were 4 exercises. Each PAX had to complete the reps for all 4 exercises before their group could mosey to the 5th station located somewhat in the middle of the 4 perimeter stations. The 5th station was a list of ab exercises. Here’s the flow: Group 1 performs the workout at Station #1, once completed the group goes to the middle Ab Station and completes the reps for the 1st exercise listed. Once the group finishes the ab exercise they travel to Station #2. Once the exercises are completed by all PAX at Station #2 the group travels back to the middle Ab Station and completes the reps for the 2nd exercise listed. So forth and so on, you get the idea.
All perimeter stations were set-up utilizing the grocery cart storage areas in the parking lot.

Station #1
10 – Pullups ( use grocery cart storage equipment, there is a place to modify to inverted rows as well )
20 – Overhead Presses w/ Cindy
20 – KB swings with 45lb. KB
30 – Unilateral Waves w/ Heavy Rope ( just count how many times you throw an arm up for reps )

Station #2
10 – Chin-ups
20 – 10ea arm – bent over rows with 45lb DB
20 – Lat Pulls w/Cindy
20 – Curls w/ Cindy

Station #3
10 – Switch Grip Pull-ups
10 – Overhead Sandbag Toss w/ 45lb sandbag
20 – CDDs with feet on the rail of the grocery cart storage equipment
20 – Tricep Extensions w/Cindy

Station #4
10 – Switch Grip Pull-ups
20 – Bent over rows w/Cindy
10 – Slam Ball throws w/ 30lb slam ball
10 – Man Makers w/Cindy

Station #5 ( Abs )
100 – LBCs
90 – Flutters ( single count )
80 – Freddy Mercury’s ( single count )
70 – American Hammers ( single count )
60 – Mountain Climbers ( single count )
50 – Reverse Crunches
40 – Big Boys
30 – Straight Lower Leg Lifts
20 – V-Sits
1 minute Plank
The group who tolerated my presence almost made 2 complete trips around the battleground, so it’s safe to say PAX completed 6-8 perimeter stations and made 5-7 trips to the Ab station. Great work fellas!!!

MARY: No time left for Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2DB10K, D2D, Rooster, upcoming CSAUPs, Bethel Men’s shelter
COT: Prayers were lifted up! God bless!
