46th Birthday celebration with plenty of sandbags

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
300 yd mossy without ruck
Moroccan night clubs, windmill, low slow squats, SSH
THE THANG:
Pick a sandbag and perform the following:
The idea was to get 46 reps of each exercise so I broke it down into 3 cycles, 15+15+16 with a 300yd lap with ruck and sandbag after each cycle has been completed. Use you sandbag for all exercises, ruck on at all times except for last exercise:
Sandbag toss
High pulls
Curls
Squat
Over the shoulder toss
Bend over rows
Chest press (no ruck)

As planned it took about 50 minutes to complete all 3 cycles
MARY: 10 minutes of broga
ANNOUNCEMENTS: the Manion is coming, Chupacabra is coming out of hibernation, AMRAP for autism is coming in April
COT: stays at COT

It was great to start my birthday with such a fine group of PAX; Jäeger beer to take home for each attendee.

Leave a comment

Nine men covered more than three miles with an early morning trip to Wally World. Here’s what we did:

The Thang

21s – In unison PAX does cadence count Side Straddle Hops, counting aloud 1-5. Reps 6-21 are all mental and everyone must stop together at 21. Five Penalty Burpees for missing the cut off.

Run 1 Mile to Wal Mart

7 of Diamonds – Four corners with exercise reps increasing by seven at each corner (7, 14, 21, 28)
70 Merkins
70 Flutters
70 Squats
70 Bombjacks
70 American Hammers

Mosey back to AO – stopping periodically for 21 Carolina Drydocks and 21 Knee Tar Jais.

NMM
There’s an old Italian saying, “after the game, the king and the pawn go into the same box.” When our days are done, it doesn’t matter how much money we made or how fine our possessions were. We should use our time to get right, live right, and lead right so we can leave right. Stay humble, be kind, and love always. That’s the legacy that lasts beyond when we close the box on the game.

Aye!

4 minutes until the Kraken

Leave a comment

Nice and warm for a Colosseum WO and a Flag Handoff.

With a FNG present we included the 5 core principles and the F3 mission. I started the “clock” which meant that every 4 minutes throughout the course of the workout each PAX would do 5 Kraken Burpees. With that I got into the warmup.

100 SSH (IC)
15 Merkins (IC)

So for the majority of this workout we ran to separate spots from the Colosseum Shovel Flag to the Carolina Eye Center Parking Lot. We would stop along the way where I would call different exercises in Cadence in this order.

5 Merkins (IC)
10 LBC’s (IC)
15 (Flutters IC)
20 HD (IC)
25 (Squats Low Slow IC)

As we ran back towards COT we stopped briefly into the “purple light” near the Tega Cay Coffee Truck. Everyone wondered where the glow sticks and foam pit was. Good questions obviously but it was not a rave or a college basement party so we did more Kraken Burpees.

As we approached the final few minutes Backdraft complained there were not enough squats so I obliged with 50 low slow squats that segwayed nicely into 5 more Kraken Burpees.

Got back to COT where we executed a Flag handoff to Rebound and named a FNG Blacklight.

All in all it was a good workout where we ended up with about 50 Kraken Burpees and around 150 Merkins, 180 LBC’s and just about 2 miles (slightly over or under depending on the watch)

Always honored for the lead and for the opportunity.

Thank you!

All told we only covered a mile in distance today. YHC hopes the PAX still got their money’s worth of out this free workout, open to all men, held outdoors, peer led with no assumption of expertise, that ended in a COT.

COT:
Shot for the Prayer of St. Francis, but didn’t quite have the thing memorized. Memorize is my word of the year, I’m working on it.

Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
Where there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
And where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master,
Grant that I may not so much seek
To be consoled as to console;
To be understood, as to understand;
To be loved, as to love;
For it is in giving that we receive,
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
And it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.
Amen.

An honor to lead such a solid crew.
