Impossible Island Hopping

Leave a comment

WARMUP: moseyed with some stops along the way. No feedback on the cadence calling. The PIP I was on was in full effect. Finished with Bonnie Blairs X 10.
THE THANG: In honor of The Pirate, a 4 corners, 20 reps at each corner. Merkins, Derkins, Heels to Heaven, and Big Boys.

Mosey and Sprints 2X to length of the parking lot changing pace at every island. Another idea taken from Pirate.

Picked two islands to do an Impossible Mile:
First Lap: Burpee Broad Jumps
Second Lap: Lunge Walk
Third Lap: Bear Crawl
Fourth Lap: Mosey.

Everyone LOVED the Impossible Mile.

Truly an honor to GET TO share doing difficult things with these men.

MARY: some did, some not so much.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Stuff the Bus, LaGrama, Bethel, Bourbon, Cannoli Run!
COT: Lifting up all those going through life’s beatdowns and enjoying the time when the storms pass.

Blimps are fun

Leave a comment

Another super humid morning but it was great seeing 11 other guys show up to get the day started right. Quick disclaimer then mosey around park stopping at each swing for 2 exercises. 10 counts of imperial Walker's, cherry pickers, tempo merkins, low slow squats, wide arm merkins, etc. Mosey down trail behind park to the grass hill for accumulating BLIMPS. 5 burpees, then either run up big hill or smaller side hill and return. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, nur up hill. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 imp squat Walker's, bear crawl up hill (not my idea but someone really wanted to bear crawl). Same 5, 10, 15, then 20 merkins, run up hill. Same 5, 10, 15, 20, then 25 plank jacks and nur up hill. Last round 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 SSHs then mosey back to amphitheater. Partner up. P1 does flying squirrel while P2 holds plank. P2 drops to 6 inch plank hold and P1 jumps over. Repeat for total of 8 flying squirrels then flap jack. Yog around amphitheater then rinse and repeat. Yog back to COT for a few ab exercises then times up. Appreciate the opportunity @U08QLQH6J68

MARY: Included in Dora series

ANNOUNCEMENTS: July 4th convergence at Catawba Ridge 0700 launch time

COT: The theme today was built around Struggle because the Summer Steam has kicked into high gear and the core of the F3 engine for me is Shared Suffering. These pax suffered through a tough workout with grit and encouragement throughout. The Struggle in the Gloom can be hard, but the hardest struggles come once we leave the parking lot after COT. The suffering life deals is real and difficult. And the personal struggles that exist inside the heart and mind can be the toughest of all.

Don't believe the lies in your head that other men aren't struggling. We all struggle, from the sharpest and fittest Nantan to the gimpy pax trying to get off IR. DON'T STRUGGLE ALONE! The reason we post is to build the grit and the brotherhood that will get us through every struggle!

Appreciate the contributions of all throughout the workout and in COT!

Thanks for the invite JWOW! You were missed.
