:black_joker: Texas Hold ’Em Beatdown Rules
Setup:
– Regular deck of cards. Assign each suit to an exercise:

– Number = reps (face cards = 10, Ace = 11, Joker = Q’s Choice)

Upon the showdown (post-River card), everyone “Pays up”. Winner calls out easier/alt. exercise for himself & the pax that pay up w/ time to spare (until the 6 is up)

Quotes shared w/ Pax throughout the workout (Common theme of paying your debts):
Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”

Marcus Aurelius – Meditations 6.30
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.”
(And if you said it—do it.)

Seneca – On Anger, Book III
“A promise is a debt.”

John Wooden (legendary coach):
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are.”

George Washington:
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
(Good company pays their IOUs.)

F3 Lexicon – Freed to Lead
“Your word is your bond. If you said it, own it. If you owe it, do it.

Peter Parker’s

THE THANG:
Do Overs

I created the MXC – Most Extreme Elimination Challenge. Form teams of 3. Split work among the team. Complete Groups I and II separately. In between sets in the group, do the mode of transportation before the next set.
After Groups I and II are complete, farmer carry bell to the top of Bob Jones Stadium road and back

Farmer Carry to top of hill and back

After challenge was complete, I asked teams for time. 15-20 minutes was average.

I gave the team a “do over” and the challenge was to be repeated but faster.

COT: You were given a second chance. How will you use? What will you do better? Get a faster time. what bad event happened to you: layoff, parenting, divorce. What will you do differently next time?

Improvements: I would shorten the bear crawl distance and bell carry distance.

Music: The Killers – Hot Fuss

Leg Day at the Box

WARMUP: It’s the Coach’s Box, there is no warm-up. Ain’t nobody got time for that!!! Gave the disclaimer 2 min prior to start time, no time to waste.

THE THANG: Moseyed to the hill in front of the school.

Time Under Tension: Partnered up, Partner 1 runs down the hill and back up while Partner 2 holds the Al Gore position, flapjack. Completed 3 rounds.

Moseyed to the school and found some benches.

Bench Work: Step-Ups and BSSs were the exercises.
15 Step-Ups with the right leg followed by 15 Step-Ups with the left leg, go immediately into BSSs 15 each leg. Continued in this manner for reps of 12 & 9.

Moseyed back to COT area and asked PAX to circle up.

Jack ‘Jane Fonda Style’ Webb: 1 to 4 ratio escalating to a total of 10 & 40. Exercise for the 1 was Forward Lunges ( on the 2 count it was 2 lunges per leg, 3 count was 3 lunges per leg, and so on ), Exercise for the 4 was low squat pulses ( get deep into an Al Gore position and then pulse with your legs ).

Legs were feeling it afterwards.

MARY: It was LEG DAY so she was not invited.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Went right into our conversation about motivation vs. fear. Discussion went a little over our time limit so this part was skipped.

COT: STK

BOP Kitchen Sink Style

Brought a BOP to the Kitchen Sink.

WARMUP: Not enough time for a standard warmup. Warmup was reviewing the list of exercises on the BOP as there were some combo exercises , PAX performed 2-3 reps to ensure they understood and to practice good form. The latter probably faded towards the end of our time together.

THE THANG:
Normal BOP format – Transport route with a mode of transportation ( most of the time this is simply running, not at the Kitchen Sink ), complete the listed exercise, and then repeat until finished or time is called. No one finished so maybe some adjustments can be made if brought out again in the future.

Transport Area was approx. 15 yards long in the upper parking lot.
Mode of Transportation: Overhead Backward Toss, walk to your SB and perform 1 ManMaker, toss it again, 2 Man Makers, repeat until the end of the 15 yard area ( avg. 4 tosses in this direction ). To come back PAX were asked to alternate Rotational Side Tosses, walk to your bag and perform 1 ManMaker, alternate sides and toss again, 2 ManMakers, repeat until you reach the finish line ( avg. 3 tosses in this direction ).
BOP Excercises: All rep counts were 50 ( total ) of each exercise
1. SB Swings
2. Alt Shoulder OH Press
3. Sumo Squat w/ High Pull
4. BigBoySitups
5. Thrusters
6. Anti-Rotational Plank Pulls w/ Perter Parkers
7. Straight Lower Leg Lifts w/ a Hello Dolly
8. Alt Single Leg Deadlifts w/ Bent Over Row
9. Alt. Forward Lunge w/ WoodChop
10. V-Ups
