What it is to be a Good Man

Leave a comment

WARMUP: In Cadence: Imperial Walkers, Cherry Pickers, Hillbilly Walkers & Windmills. Counted off.

THE THANG: Took off for a basic run and boot. 3.02 miles with stops along the way.
Pain Station stops included: merkins, squats, burpees, cocaine bear crawls, Carolina dry docks, jump squats, etc as we moseyed from COT to Dam Rd and back.

Many words were given and they all mattered and defined. From honest, accountable, virtuous, dependable etc all great words. There is no perfect definition but we should all be striving to make sure we are doing all we can to be a Good Man because the world badly needs Good Men. The words above that we do without thinking keep it up, those that we have to strive to do better at – keep working at it – the world needs GOOD MEN. You have 31 days to close 2025 and set the tone for 2026 – go be a Good Man!

MARY: Sprints, hot white speed sprints!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announced, Fort fill free to edit – Rock Hill announcements pertinent to Fort is F3 in RH Christmas Parade this Friday Dec 5th – see me if you’d like to join. SLT Handoffs Jan 1st NYD Convergence.

COT: Prayers and praises and I prayed us out.

Thankful for the privilege to lead this workout.

It is what it is!

As is typical of YHC, I wanted to do some ladder work at the Ballroom to keep the Pax moving today so I researched old backblasts for ideas. While not original, I love reading the old backblasts to see the Pax, the mumblechatter and the work being done. I stumbled on a few good ideas from Fogerty and Cake Boss but settled on a Bonsai from 2022 that included over 700 reps which I thought was appropriate for our 1st sub 30 degree day this Fall.

WARMUP:
After a thorough disclaimer, we commenced to Indian Run to the track with the 6 doing 5 merkins and then sprinting to the lead.

We circled up in the track/football field parking lot for the following:

SSH x 30
Cherry Pickers x 10
Seal Jacks x 20
Windmills x 10
Plank Jacks x 20
IW x 15

We moseyed to find a gate that was open so that YHC could deploy the Weinke.

THE THANG:

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 1 burpee
Run to the 20 yard line, do 2 burpees
Ladder up then down to other goal line

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 5 merkins
Run to the 20 yard line, do 10 merkins
Ladder up then down to the other goal line Run

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 squats
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 squats
Ladder up then down

Line up on the goal line
Run to the 10 yard line, do 10 flutters
Run to the 20 yard line, do 20 flutters
Ladder up to the 50 then pause
Bear crawl the remaining 50 yards

Mosey home

Met at the ROF for a little bit of this and a little bit of that

Leave a comment

Normally, I’m the type of PAX that likes to create routines where you complete a lot of reps of a few different exercises when I Q a workout. Decided to switch it up a bit, and as my man JWOW like to say, we did a little bit of this and a little bit of that, but a whole lot of work was put in!

WARMUP: 3 minute mosey followed by all of the usual suspects with a proper call out – NEISPMICE. If you know you know!

THE THANG: After our warm-up we found ourselves next to the bars, shocker!!!

Partner #2 10 Thrusters w/ Cindy
After partner #2 completes 10 Thrusters, Partner #1 completes a max of 5 pullups and can come off of the bar while part#2 must complete 10 Diamond Merkins before switching to the bar.

Moseyed to a wall.

Wall Work – 2 Rounds Each

20 second extended arm plank hold w/ feet on the wall – right into 10 merkins w/ feet on the wall.

AB – Tabatta – 2 Rounds
Hold Crucifix Plank position for 30 seconds, right into 30 seconds of American Hammers

Moseyed to the loop around the playground.

Lap Work – 1 Round Each
