LR Clowncar beatdown

WARMUP: Disclaimer brought to you by Slow Jams then an introduction to my fellow CO Q’s and the theme of the beatdown, Accountability, was explained and what that means to me. Followed by some in cadence exercises and stretching.
THE THANG: Mosey to bus loop where Slow Jams called curb 7’s. Starting with 1 curb dip, bearcrawl out to next curb for 6 incline merkins, crabwalk back. So on and so forth.
Cubbie was next up. He provided his insights on our group and where accountability plays its part. Mosey to pull up bars for partner station work. 1st station – 10 pull ups, 2nd station – 25 WW1 sit-ups, 3rd station – 25 leg lifts, 4th station – 25 v-ups, 5th station – 25 lbc, 6th station – 25 dragon flutters. Following the completion of all stations we then took a mosey to front entrance hill.
Skipper then took the helm. He zeroed in on a stoicism based message that aligned with accountability in your personal actions. We then proceeded with 5’s from light pole to light pole with lunges and jump squats. Final mosey to the band lot where Half Shell finished with a final message on how our accountability plays an important role in keeping him on track. He thanked us with 50 yard sprints and exercises that summarized the entire workout. 25 CDD’s, 25 Merkins, 25 BBS, 25 Superman’s, 25 Squats, 25 calf raises.
MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: bethel men’s, stuff the bus, tortoise and hare, blood drive
COT: we all got an opportunity to share what was weighing on our hearts and minds. Because after all, we are men and whether we like it or not, we can’t fix everything on our own. Don’t be ashamed to be vulnerable and reach out for help!

2024.28 Armory

Standard warmup…

One of my favorite KB formats is the 3x3x3: 3 rounds of 3 sets of 3 exercises. But to mix it up, 2 sets from the current followed by 1 set of the previous, so A-A, then B-B-A, then C-C-B… I think this allows a little longer recover before heading into the 3rd set which helps you to push harder. I’m going to tell myself that, cause I am still in pain two days later.

Set A:
Clean into a 1 arm thruster x10 (5 EA)
Front raise x10
Single-leg dead lift x10 (5 EL)

Set B:
Bent row x10EA
Tricep Extension x10
Squat x20

Set C:
One-arm swings x10EA
Overhead Press x10EA
Racked split squat x10 each side

Between rounds cooldown lap ending in a 20yd bear crawl to spike the heart rate to get ready for the next round.

This was a tough one. I’m pretty sure Band Camp thought I was making it all up, cause I don’t have to put Sharpie on my forearm… Welcome FNG Splash Pad! Hopefully there was enough fun in there to offset the splashing / dry heaving…
