War eagle swoops down to attack the liger

Leave a comment

WARMUP: yes…ran up the hill by the football stadium for SSH, windmills, merkins, Moroccan night clubs, squats, and some stretching of the shoulders.
THE THANG: deck of cards was the game. Every 6 cards we ran about 100 yards and back. And let’s just say the exercises didn’t line up so well with the cards.
Diamonds: 2-7 were merkin with a KB pull; 8-A (fan favorite) we’re man makers
Spades: 2-7 lunges with bell; 8-A squat thrusters
Clubs: 2-7 flutter with a press; 8-A American hammers
Hearts: 2-7 curls; 8-A KB swings
MARY: nada
ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year coming up
COT: prayers for YHC’s M for job offer (which she got the next day), health for friends and families, schools and kids

Turkish Bapstismal Getup

Leave a comment

WARMUP:

yes….SSH for the stragglers to start, then a few of the standards: IW, Burpees, Shoulder Tap, Yoga, Slingshot, Halos, slight moseys, windmills with the bell low and high (not a crowd pleaser)
THE THANG:
Dan John’s Humane Burppee – look it up. It’s good stuff
Series of 5 reps with some moseys occasionally
– Cleans
– Racked Reverse Lunge
– Single Leg Deadlift
– Racked Bulgarian Split Squat
– Single Arm overhead press

The fun bit was a table of Dixie water cups set up. We did Turkish Getups with the water cups in our hands. Then Turkish Getups with the water cup resting on our knuckles. Good times. A few guys got wet; all of us were challenged

Finished with burpee snatches and pigeon lunge

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Virtual Sweet Tooth run tomorrow 5am
10 year convergence tomorrow 6:30am
10 year hang at the Print Shop tomorrow at 5pm

COT:
Prayers for Grout’s sister and her four children on the loss of her husband

Tax Man Cometh

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

KB Mashup

Leave a comment

7 showed up this morning at the Hive to the sound of Garth Brooks. Uhaul knows how much I dislike it so he made sure it was playing loud. We debated on what music to play for a bit and settled on 90’s Alternative.
Warm-ups consisted of several dynamic arm and leg stretches along with a plank routine to stretch out the back and hips.
The Mash-Up:
Each routine consisted of three exercises in each set with the fourth combining all three exercises. Here are the five routines:
• HALO
• ROUND THE WORLD
• SMURF ROTATION
• COMBO

• RACKED SQUAT
• RACKED LUNGE
• CALF RAISE
• COMBO

• PLANK PULL THROUGH
• ROW
• CURL
• COMBO

• SWING
• WINDMILL
• SHOULDER PRESS
• COMBO

• GOBLET SQUAT
• SKULL CRUSHER
• LBC
• COMBO (Most difficult, from squat transition to ground and back up to your feet after LBC)

First round 10 reps, second round 5 reps with some running in between rounds. Lots of discussion about Ben and JLO and their movie careers.
Great job everyone!

It was a beautiful morning in The Fort for 9 HIM to get decked by the cards of pain!

Quick warmup and off to the cards. The weinke was as follows:

A = Run a lap
K = Murder Bunny with Bell
Q = Bear Crawl with Bell
J = 10 Man Makers
♦️ = Curls
❤️ = V-Ups
♠️ = Snatch
♣️ = Squats

We got through 75% of the deck, but there was 100% of pain.

– JWow

Kind of like Currahee Tuesday, only this was on Friday and called Chupacabra…

WARMUP: Those are for the weak

THE THANG: Just some miles, down to Tega Cay Elementary and back. Stopped in front of the school for OYO sets of 20 of Squats, Overhead Press & High Pull. Just under 2.5M.

I don’t mean to brag, but my watch read 6:00:00 when we pulled up to COT…

COT: we were present for it
