46th Birthday celebration with plenty of sandbags

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.

The Monday After

It’s the Monday after a great CSAUP, wet, rainy, and pollen filled air. Three men went on an adventure on the trails behind the school, half a loop exiting at the bottom of the hill near the new construction.
We made a few stops to do a set of merkins and squats.
Great to get some fresh air, exercises, and fellowship this morning.

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!
