You Could’ve Stayed In Bed

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run the parking lot down and back, twice. 5 Jump Squats. 10 Merkins. 15 Mountain Climbers. 10 Windmills.
THE THANG: I’m not sure how much ground we covered but the intent was to get ~2mi plus a good workout to make getting out of bed worth it. After all, we have way too many guys staying in bed on a Saturday morning. Anyways, back to the topic at hand.
Line up on the left field line and bear crawl to the McDonald’s sign on the outfield fence. 20 Mountain Climbers. Bear crawl back for 20 more Mountain Climbers.
Run to the main hill on the back side. Run to the bottom, dodging deer, 5 burpees, NUR up the other side, 10 Carolina Dry Docks. Run back to the bottom for 5 Burpees then NUR up to the original start point for 10 more Carolina Dry Docks.
Head to the Pull-Up Bars:
Each PAX must complete 20 Pull-Ups and while you’re not doing Pull-Ups, you’re cycling through 10 Merkins and 20 American Hammers on repeat until everyone is done their Pull-Ups.
Head over to the 2nd most famous hill, Tara Tea Drive, again, dodging more deer.
Run to the bottom, 10 Jump Squats, run up, 10 Diamond Merkins. Complete 3 rounds.
Head to the field for a modified Jack Webb series:
1 WWII sit up : 4 Flutter Kicks. Complete all the way to 10:40.
Get on the line and run to the net and back.
Here’s the new one. Two lines, get in a plank position, head to toe. Man in the back does 5 Wide-Arm-Merkins then bear crawls to the front of the line (Indian Run style). Keep cycling through for about 50yds.
3-tier suicides.
MARY: Sprinkled in throughout the workout…that’s more my speed. We did finally close it out with Grave Diggers, Toe Touches and elbow planking.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter (3 convergences in a row starting on Thanksgiving, Turkey money drive, clay shooting, etc)
COT: You should’ve been there. Our guys are carrying a lot these days. Head up, shoulders back, eyes clear and lean on each other as needed.

The Sergeant Major

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

Mosey to the track
50 SSH IC

So in honor of Veterans Day I created a custom WOD in honor of my father Sgt Major Horace Pysher.

The reps are indicative of the units he’s served in throughout his career.

The Sergeant Major:

28 Burpees
1 mile run
28 Burpees
56 Big Boy Sit-ups
1 mile run
28 Burpees
56 Big Boy Sit-ups
112 HR Merkins
1 mile run
28 Burpees

All told it’s 3 miles + 112 burpees Sit-ups and Merkins.

(As we got to the end I offered a 200yrd bear crawl as a substitute to the 112 HR Merkins. )

Great push by all …Harry Carry was the #king of the day! 👊

Thanks to all who showed this morning and to all veterans for your service!

Orange is the new NC State Red

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mossy to playground for SSH, IW, HW, merkins
THE THANG: Each PAX completed 10 pull-ups then ran the path. For round 1, 15 merkins at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 20 LBCs at each swing. Complete another 10 pull-ups and repeat path with 15 squats. Wrap it up with 10 pull-ups. Not sure Dark Helmet completed pull-ups or proper merkins since he was in the dark the entire time. Slapshot was leader as he’s trying to encourage PSU football team to whip up on that school to the south (No Pusher that doesn’t mean South Carolina) – Ohio State. Maximus wore the new NC State colors orange for his failed bet on them beating Clemson (but the ACC is a basketball conference not football conference 🤷‍♂️). Band camp never stops pushing PAX and Kermit is still in cloud 9 for Tennessee (the real orange) for beating the other school to the south (again, not South Carolina nor Georgia). Bobber even posted and complained that the monkey bars were wet (isn’t he a fisherman? Aren’t they always wet?)
MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS: skeet shooting sign ups!! Shower curtain collecting coats
COT: prayers for Shower Curtain continued healing, balance – even better harmony.

RING OF FIRE – 12OCT2022

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Not much in the way of warm up. 15 burpees to get the blood flowing, a short jog for a few Abe Vigodas, Cherry Grabber Tappers (or whatever the heck we call these), and some SSH.

THE THANG: As I have now learned that I make moderate workouts and am only around for the yapping, instead of telling you all that we did, just imagine a nap. It was probably about like that.
Just kidding… here’s what went down…
Mosey to corner of AO Jones and HS driveway (by stadium)
Find your rock
– 30 curls
– 30 OH press
– 30 chest press (on 6)
Run up AO Jones to next entrance
– 20 flutters (4-count)
– 20 LBC
– 20 Dolly
Run up AO Jones to the first light
– 10 Wide-arm Merkins
– 10 Regular Merkins
– 10 Diamond Merkins
Run to the light at Springfield
– 5 burpees
Back down the hill – repeat each station as you go
Turn left at the rock station
Run to the painted crosswalk
– 20 squats
– 20 calf raises
– 20 bombjacks
Run to pull-up bars
– 10 pullups
– 10 knees to chest
– 10 dips on the curb
Bottom of the hill
– 5 burpees
Back to corner – repeat each station – THAT’S 1 mile and one rep.
Go as hard as you can and as far as you can for 45 minutes.

MARY: It’s for dudes only.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.

COT: The 5th Core Principle.
