WARMUP: Quick lap around the main parking lot (not going behind the stores), then circle up for the following, 10-15 of each:
– SSH
– WM
– IW then HW
– MNC
– Strawberry pickers
Then mosey not too far from COT for….
THE THANG:
Ladder of Deconstructed Burpees
A loop of .25 mile was set up, the same one we used as a warmup.
Do the exercises, then run the loop. The idea was in each round, you do an exercise that is part of the standard burpee.
Ascending ladder (run a lap between each round)
Round 1: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
Round 2: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 (2ct) mountain climbers (10 each leg)
Round 3: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 2 ct MCs
Round 4: 4 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 MCs + 10 merkins + 10 jump squats w OH clap
Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)
>> Take off 1 burpee and 1 exercise
Round 5: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 7: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
>> Rinse and repeat

  • One evolution is 16 burpees, 70 LSS, 50 MCs (2ct), 30 merkins, 10 jump squats

Everyone got at least 2 full completions of this evolution (ascend then descend is one evolution), and started another full ascension. Overall, everyone got at least 3 miles. Good push by everyone.
MARY: No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Mentioned some of the things in the newsletter. Read it. Get involved.
COT: Alot lifted up.
Thanks for the opportunity to lead. SYITG.

Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

Leave a comment

Lots of dudes showed up to the Pond Party this morning .
Pledge..Let's go
First stop, The Pharmacy for SSHs and a couple burpees
Next Stop, New parking lot, Old Hardee's
10 merkins, 10 Squats, 10 LBCs.
Partner up with like speed so you and partner arrive at the destination at same time. I didn't do a good job explaining this, no worries we made it safely to the Post Offices
Same exercises, back to the parking lot, same exercises with partner dips and merkins until six arrives.
Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
Back to COT
Prayers for Wegmans Boston Marathon adventure.

2026 QvQ Round 2

Leave a comment

QvQ Format:
20/20
PAX Vote in 4 categories
V.A.P.E.

Rabbit:
Divide into two teams

Every man runs 25m and nurs 25 back and the completes 2 squat jumps and 2 burpees.
WWR but add 2 reps to each exercise after each trip out and back. Team with the most reps in total wins.

In addition, each team selects 2 pax to hold Cindy’s above head … Cindy can't drop below the head… if they do the team loses their count and starts over at zero

15 minutes of work.

After time expires, Hold AlGore and plank while the preacher preaches about asking for help and looking for a brother that might need it. (Let's do this for each other men!)

Last 4 minutes jail break 50m and do 5 Big Boys… again but do 10… keep adding 5 and sprinting until time expired.

Stage Coach:
Partner work
Partner 1 will run to the other side of the field and back to partner 2. Partner 2 will be doing an exercise that slowly progresses across the field until Partner 1 returns and switch. Continue switching off between running and exercises until you’re across the field.
Exercises – Bear Crawl, lunge, broad jump burpee, crawl bear and reverse lunge

Results:
Stage Coach won two categories, but Rabbit also won two and had the most overall votes. Win goes to Rabbit.

Great work by both Qs sharpening their leadership today.
