What is this way?

WARMUP: started with the classic SSH, cherry pickers, merkins, low slow squats, finished with some hamstring and back stretching (which was amazing)
THE THANG: Pearls on a string theme where we ran all over “campus” to different waypoints to do the exercises below…adding a new exercise per stop…start with 10 merkins, next stop 10 merkins + 15 squats…and so on. Once we got to 30, we did 30 again and back down dropping the highest rep exercise at each stop.
– 10 merkins
– 15 squats
– 20 CDD
– 25 flutters
– 30 calf raises

Finished with a starfish / 4 corner. Paired up and went to each 4 corner coming back to the center for 3 burpees. Corners were: 10 wide arm, 10 bomb jacks, 10 jump squats, 10 American hammers.

MARY: circled up and each pax called an exercise.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter coming up in September!
COT: prayers for Caroline (Shady’s 2.1 teammate) surgery

Coupons Around Kingsley

WARMUP:
After coming in Hot…I presented a couple of coupons to the group and we discussed the 5 core principles for the benefit of our FNG. Unfortunately, we will need to practice those so that EVERY man knows them. (it was a little rough)

THE THANG:
Once we stumbled through the 5 core principles we were off. This was my first post at Sole to Soul so I wasn’t 100% sure of the logistics or area. I was simply told rucking with exercises so I planned to deliver.
I provided a 60 lb sandbag and a 35 lb kettle bell to carry as well and the PAX were instructed to bring them along.
Our first stop was behind Epic Chophouse where we circled up and did some movements:
Slow Low Squat
Merkins
Overhead Press
Bicep Curls
SSH (slick)
We then moved to behind Replay. Here we partnered up and played a little “catch me if you can”. FNG Half Pint took this very serious and Riggins had very little chance of catching him!
After we completed some Moroccan Night Clubs we did a full lap around the Kingsley property. Halfway around we found a traffic circle for Bear Crawls followed by some Overhead claps.
Upon returning to Broadcloth street we found a gravel area for some more movements:
Squat Thrust
Swings
Bicep Curls
SSH
We then moved to COT. The fun wasn’t over as we found benches and did 20 Dips and then calf raises with rucks overhead.

MARY:
We finished with some Mary including:
Flutters w/press
LBCs
Hello Dolly’s w/Ruck press
Freddie Mercury’s
1 minute plank with Ruck

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Diabeetus

WARMUP: First, we warmed up.
THE THANG: Then we did a lot of kettlebell stuff and ran a little.
MOSTLY, we listened to what might have been the worst playlist ever conceived. From the marginally incestuous Osmonds, to the Killers, to what was probably the biggest surprise which was Wilford Freaking Brimley. The diabeetus commercial guy you say? Yes. Beloved actor who starred in the 1985 hit movie Cocoon? Yes. He’s a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? Well, he was when he was alive, yes… but please tell me THAT isn’t the thing that you find most surprising. He has albums. Of music. Where he sings. Doesn’t that shake you a little more to your core? I mean… even just a little? And to add insult to injury (and trust me, his singing was injurious), there’s not a single freaking song on his album about DIABETES TESTING SUPPLIES. Seriously, lean into your strengths, Wilford. WTF? You know diabetes supplies like no other… and yet you choose to sing about someone’s silver-haired daddy…? I’m not sure what to think anymore… I’m not sure this world was meant for me…
MARY: Once again, girls aren’t allowed. Core Principle #2.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter.
COT: Core Principle #5
