10 Year Convergence

Ten year celebration came to a close this morning with a convergence at WEP. 12 men came earlier for a run to support Operation Sweet Tooth. 84 men attended the main event with three great HIM leading the workout: CSPAN, Maximum, and WWL. No warm-ups this morning. CSPAN took his group around the block with various stops along the way. Seven reps of Flying Squirrels, Merkins, and Sit-ups. WWL had playtime at the playground. Burpees and Pull-ups along with running fast around the playground. Did I mention Power Skips? Maximum had a simple plan. Run backwards up the hill many times and destroy your abs with American Hammers.
We closed the chapter on the first 10 years.
Monday begin the next.
The future is bright.
How will you contribute to the next 10 years?
Make an impact.

Turkish Bapstismal Getup

WARMUP:

yes….SSH for the stragglers to start, then a few of the standards: IW, Burpees, Shoulder Tap, Yoga, Slingshot, Halos, slight moseys, windmills with the bell low and high (not a crowd pleaser)
THE THANG:
Dan John’s Humane Burppee – look it up. It’s good stuff
Series of 5 reps with some moseys occasionally
– Cleans
– Racked Reverse Lunge
– Single Leg Deadlift
– Racked Bulgarian Split Squat
– Single Arm overhead press

The fun bit was a table of Dixie water cups set up. We did Turkish Getups with the water cups in our hands. Then Turkish Getups with the water cup resting on our knuckles. Good times. A few guys got wet; all of us were challenged

Finished with burpee snatches and pigeon lunge

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Virtual Sweet Tooth run tomorrow 5am
10 year convergence tomorrow 6:30am
10 year hang at the Print Shop tomorrow at 5pm

Tax Man Cometh

WARMUP: SHH, IW, squats, run a lap in silence to remember Liza Fletcher. Lady from Memphis that was kidnapped, assaulted, and murdered while out on her morning run. She was a friend of my sisters and this hit home for me.

THE THANG: 3 rounds max reps you vs partner. A 100 dash was the timer for each exercise for each person. Upon completion of the exercise each person shared their total rep count. The person with the fewest reps had to do Burpees. Total number of burpees was the rep count differential after each exercise.
Round 1: curls, Uhauls, swings
Round 2: hammer curls, squats, tri extensions
Round 3: merkins on the bell, deadlifts, lawnmower pulls

Bonus: Sugar bug and Slash teamed up to tie every round. As a result they received burpee penalties every round.

My merkin form was called into question by Band Camp. I think this is purely a result of his kettlebell weight being 52lbs vs my 45lb. Band Camp had burpee penalties every round 🙂

Jack Webb from hell – remix

WARMUP: a little upward & downward dog, some low slow squats and single count merkins

THE THANG: moseyed over to WEP.  Starting at the first bench swing the PAX did 1 burpee and 4 merkins, ran to the next swing did 2 and 8, ran back to the first swing and then went to the 3rd swing did 3 & 12, then to the 2nd swing and up to the 4th bench swing, did 4 & 16 and so on until we got to 10 and 40.  
Since we still had some time left, YHC didn’t want to waste any time so we moseyed over to the playground and did a dead hang for a 10- count, 10 low slow squats, 5 pull ups and then 10 more squats.  With 4 minutes left we headed back to COT.  Arrived at 0600.
MARY: none

KB Mashup

7 showed up this morning at the Hive to the sound of Garth Brooks. Uhaul knows how much I dislike it so he made sure it was playing loud. We debated on what music to play for a bit and settled on 90’s Alternative.
Warm-ups consisted of several dynamic arm and leg stretches along with a plank routine to stretch out the back and hips.
The Mash-Up:
Each routine consisted of three exercises in each set with the fourth combining all three exercises. Here are the five routines:
• HALO
• ROUND THE WORLD
• SMURF ROTATION
• COMBO

• RACKED SQUAT
• RACKED LUNGE
• CALF RAISE
• COMBO

• PLANK PULL THROUGH
• ROW
• CURL
• COMBO

• SWING
• WINDMILL
• SHOULDER PRESS
• COMBO

• GOBLET SQUAT
• SKULL CRUSHER
• LBC
• COMBO (Most difficult, from squat transition to ground and back up to your feet after LBC)

First round 10 reps, second round 5 reps with some running in between rounds. Lots of discussion about Ben and JLO and their movie careers.
Great job everyone!

Lately, I’ve been reading this book called the exemplary husband. The definitions of mercy and grace were given. Though the words are similar in meaning, they are very different.

Mercy means not getting what you deserve. Grace means getting what you don’t deserve.

If God gives us what we don’t deserve freely, and withholds from us what we truly deserve, how should we live our lives? What do we deserve? I can tell you, it’s not very good. Yet God lavishes his grace on us. Think about that as you carry yourself in your concentrica.
