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!!!

Bar & Cindy Work – 3 Rounds
Partner Up – Partner #1 on the bar dead hangs
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

Moseyed to the loop around the playground.

Lap Work – 1 Round Each

Partner up for Catch me if you can
Partner #1 runs while Partner #2 performs 3 burpees, when Partner #2 completes the burpees he runs to catch Partner #1, switch! Each partner performed 3 sets of burpees.

Partner#1 bear crawls while the Partner #2 performs 5 burpees, when Partner #2 completes 5 burpees he runs to catch Partner #1, switch, each team completed 1 lap.

Bushpit Dual Q (or Q Duel?)

Leave a comment

Rock, Scissors, Paper for who took the warmup: Birdcage won

WARMUP:
– Indian run

THE THANG:
OldBay Part 1:
Run to first of 4 cones set up to cover a large area for “Catch me if you can”. Pax partner up, size doesn’t matter. Partner 1 does stationary exercise while partner 2 does moving exercise (working their way around all 4 cones). Once P1 finishes stationary exercise, they run to catch P2 then flapjack. Continue until they’ve made it around all 4 cones.

Exercises:
10 merkins and butt kickers
3 burpees and high knees
10 mountain climbers and karaoke

Birdcage Part 1
All pax grab some curb for merkin and shimmy: one merkin, then use arms and legs to sideways step to the right. Repeat until complaints were high enough.

Shake it out and then flip to other side of curb for dip and shimmy.

Pax then had to get in 5 lines for sprints back and forth in front of the stadium entrance.

OldBay Part 2
Pax line up on curb facing open side of parking lot for broad jumps and merkins. Pax instructed to take 2 broad jumps and then do 2 merkins. Repeat until the other side of the parking lot was reached, keeping count of how many broad jumps it took them.
14 jumps was the fewest, so all pax had to do 14 burpees.

Pax then lined up arms-distance apart, then dropped to a plan for railroad tracks. The pax at the end of the plank line had to make their way to the from the line by jumping over each planked pax. They then planked at the front of the line. Done after 2 complete cycles. We had a few minutes left, so we did 5 6-count burpees to satisfy the brass at the workout.

Birdcage part 2
Worked our way back to the front of the stadium where we did suicides, stopping at every tree for 5 bombjacks…until we run out of time (or tree, in the case of a few pax)

MARY:
Just a few moments for a few exercises. Bandcamp managed to get 2 6-count burpees in, because only dozens before wasn’t enough.

Great work by all. Thanks for the opportunity to co-lead, Birdcage.

Three lessons of leadership shared from Kirby Smart:

You will have to make hard decision that negatively impact people you care about

You will be disliked despite your attempts to do the best for the most

You will be misunderstood and not always have a chance to defend yourself

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read that newsletter – lots of ways to get involved

NMM – Closing thought – Upholding standards requires sometimes being unpopular. As leaders – we must be diligent in our assessment of how we carry and live up to those for our homes, families and communities we serve. Tell someone about what standards you are trying to uphold. Our effectiveness in doing so is only as good as our accountability measures in place.

COT: 5th core principle. #YHTBT

Thanks for the call Rosie. :eye:
