A little of everything

Mosey from COT to larger parking lot. Did some SSH, Imperial walkers, and Hillbilly Walkers

THE THANG:
A variation of 4 corners.
From corner 1
Bear crawled across 3 aisles with descending merkins at each aisle starting with 20 (20-15-10-5) to corner 2.

Ran down the length of the aisle to the other side of the lot to corner 3. Did lunge walks stopping at each aisle to do squats starting with 20 (20-15-10-5) to corner 4.

Ran back up to corner 1. In moving from corner 1 to 2, did 5 burpees at every light pole. Ran to corner 3 from 2 and then did 20 Freddy mercury’s at every light pole from corner 3 to 4.

Ran back to corner 1. Did a bit of broga. Then moseyed to the first speed bump at the bottom of the hill.

Did a variation of 11’s running up and down the hill, starting with bomb jacks at both top and bottom for 3 rounds, switched to merkins for 2.

Deck of fun w/insurance

Started w/some stretchy things then mosey down to MS for 20 merkins, 20 squats, and LBC. Mosey for a while, 15 of each, mosey then 10, mosey some more for 5 each.

Deck of fun w/insurance:
♡ = hard release merkins
♧ = jump squats
◇ = big boys
♤ = monkey humpers
Ace=1, cards 1 – 8, do the reps at each of the three lines, suicide run style
9 – K (13 for those that are challenged), only do the rep at the far line
Each person pulls 2 cards. Before pulling cards PAX can decide if they want insurance. 5 burpees for insurance. If you take insurance and pull 2 high cards, group only does half of reps. But if one low and one high card then group does everything.

I think we made it through about 2 rounds. PAX took insurance about 75% of the time and it paid off 0% of the time. Anyway, something different to try and blend some running in with the normal deck of Death.

Also, not sure about Slash’s new diet but he needs to cut down on the fiber. Thank goodness we were outside and there was a breeze!

Currahee 24May2022

WARMUP:
Some old man stretchy things and a few merkins

THE THANG:
Heavy stuff we carried:
– 80lb bag
– 70lb bag
– 50lb bag
– Olaf’s Hammer of Justice
– Olaf’s 80lb bag of shit stuffed in a 60lb bag
– Log – it’s big, it’s heavy (-ish), it’s wood

– maybe something else?

As a group, we carried the heavy things around the back of the school to the playground and put them down. Marked off roughly 40yards.
Did 11s with Ruck Merkins and Overhead Presses.

Carried the heavy stuff (everyone has to carry something different each time) out to the right and to the end of the fence. Bear crawled with rucks to fire hydrant and back.

Continued loop around back of school to small parking lot for some ruck curls.

Continued carrying heavy things to front lot to play a little catch me if you can.

Final movement was practicing carrying our body weight (or close to it) for about 200 yds.

MARY:
It’s dudes only, bro.

Helping your brother bear his burden

WARMUP: SSH, Morrocan Night Club, Down Dog, Up dog, Merkins, Seated Surfers, KB squats

THE THANG: We began with a short mosey to the curb and back. Picked up our bells and lined up on a line in the parking lot. 50 man makers were called. It’s a lot. And it’s reminiscent of many of the burdens we carry. The PAX were challenged to push through and persevere. In turn, any PAX who finished was tasked to go take the bell of his brother and lighten the load. Demonstrating how we share the load with our brothers in need. No one goes alone.

After the glorious man makers, we moseyed to a more lit area for some station work. There were the following stations in a circle:
+Split Leg Squats 10 each leg
+Single Leg Deadlifts 10 each leg
+Calf Raises 20
+John Deere(lat pulls) 10 each arm
+American Hammers 20 IC
++The method of movements were bear crawls and overhead carries.
We completed 2 laps around the circle or so before COT.

COT: Praises for the acceleration of the Fort and the leadership were shared. Thanks for the opportunity to Q and participate in Q school week.

What idiot called this?

PAX showed up expecting for Shady to be on Q (which explains the large numbers). They had to settle for me, but I’m just happy to be Shady’s understudy. Hope he gets back to 100% soon

WARMUP:
SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Taps, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Merkin

THE THANG:
Extra weight. PAX had rucks, sandbags, and bells galore in honor of Gear MAYhem

3 groups
1 took a lap and did swings for the 6
2 groups carried weight the length of the parking lot, did 10 merkins, 15 squats, and came back.

Then we rotated. After everyone got to run we add weight

Between each set of 3 rounds:
(With no extra weight on)
5 manmakers
5 cleans (each side)
5 overhead presses (each side)

We got through 3 sets of 3 rounds

At one point during set 3, I causally and in a very neutral tone mentioned that my grip was shot. Vuvuzela pointed out that he’d never heard anybody gripe about their own Q so much. Maybe I mentioned something earlier too?

MARY: Uhaul Q-jacked for Mary a little early by my clock, but he doesn’t like manmakers.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter, lots of community impact going on!

COT: doing one thing really well is better than 5 things done halfway. Bear reminded us today that form matters. Do a good squat.
