Wheel of Misfortune and too many reps

Leave a comment

Since I was going to be DR for my birthday, I decided to do my birthday Q a day early. I wanted a good one and didn’t realize how good it was.
WARMUP: SSH, windmills
THE THANG: We picked up Cindy and took her down to the elementary school playground. Around the loop, about 15-20 yards apart were 6 stations.
They included:
10 OH Press
25 Decline Merkins
25 Curls
25 Squats with the block on your back
25 Big Boys with the block
25 Chest Press
25 Bent over rows
Run around the playground.

My intention was to do 420 reps, but we all know what happens when we try to count when we are working out, so we ended up with 3 rounds of 480 reps.

MARY: Everyone called something for the last 5 minutes
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter. Lots of opportunities to give back.
COT: Prayers for a good 43rd trip around the sun.

WARMUP: gear up
THE THANG:
Partner up.
Round one weight vest and rucks on:
Partner one starts bag tosses while partner two completed ten sandbag squats and ten sandbag deadlifts then front carry’s to partner one. Partner two then bag tosses while partner one completes ten sandbag squat and ten sandbag deadlift then front carry’s to meet partner two. Both mosey back to the start where the kettlebells were left for ten swings and ten merkins. Mosey back to where the sandbags were left. Rinse and repeat for a small parking lot lap.

Round two:
One farmer carry both bags while the other farmer carry the kbs. Switched as needed but completed three burpees each time you switch. Big lap.

Round three: repeat round one for a smaller lap

Quick round of ten right arm kb snatch, ten goblet squats, ten left arm kb snatch, ten goblet squats and ten merkins.
MARY: some
ANNOUNCEMENTS: some
COT: It’s ok to let the ones you love know that you are grateful for them and appreciate all they do for you. It doesn’t have to be a special occasion or for any reason. Let them know.

“No Mercy” Monday @ STL

Leave a comment

WARMUP: NONE
THE THANG:
19 men took off at quickly for No Mercy Monday. After a quick mosey to South State Bank, we fired up the legs with 5 Bonnie Blairs to get loose.

From there, we charged down Dave Gibson Blvd to the bottom under the light pole — 5 Jump Squats at the base — then sprinted back up that glorious hill of pain. At the top, we pushed toward the school where, under the next light post, we knocked out 5 Apollo Onos before turning around and heading back for more.

Rinse and repeat. Several rounds. Just under 5 miles of pure burn, grind, and grit.

Bones and Farmers Only quietly crushed it, while Sasquatch somehow wasn’t even breaking a sweat while he led the pack and completed each excercise with amazing form.

Legs smoked. Lungs torched. Mission accomplished.

MARY: NONE

The distance between your dreams and your reality is discipline. You have to do the thing, especially when you don’t feel like it. 80% of success is showing up. The rest is willingness to work and learn. Put in the work and reap the rewards.
