A Tribute to

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A quick run up the hill to pay tribute…to the hill.  Then we paid tribute to Cha-Ching with an inspired OYO 11 burpees followed by 33 SSH.  Ran down the hill and to the big parking lot for another inspired 11 and 33.  Then ran to the band parking lot for another 11 and 33.  The meaning behind 11 and 33, don’t remember but Cha-Ching may!
THE THANG: Ran over to the front of the school by the benches and broke out the “alternative” music in tribute to Slash who’s recovering from knee surgery.  (Alternative music wasn’t very alternative so fail on YHC part).  We did the exercises below and then ran a lap around the parking lot after each set.
– 10 burpees, ~30 seconds Al Gore
– 15 diamonds, 30 monkey humpers
– 20 hand release, 50 calf raises
– 25 wide arm, 50 flutters
– 30 reg merkins, 40 step ups
– 35 rangers, 25 incline merkins
– 40 CDD, 30 hammers

Ran back to COT.
MARY: got through 3 min worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Xmas party, shanking with Stang
COT: CSPAN around the horn!

You Could’ve Stayed In Bed

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run the parking lot down and back, twice. 5 Jump Squats. 10 Merkins. 15 Mountain Climbers. 10 Windmills.
THE THANG: I’m not sure how much ground we covered but the intent was to get ~2mi plus a good workout to make getting out of bed worth it. After all, we have way too many guys staying in bed on a Saturday morning. Anyways, back to the topic at hand.
Line up on the left field line and bear crawl to the McDonald’s sign on the outfield fence. 20 Mountain Climbers. Bear crawl back for 20 more Mountain Climbers.
Run to the main hill on the back side. Run to the bottom, dodging deer, 5 burpees, NUR up the other side, 10 Carolina Dry Docks. Run back to the bottom for 5 Burpees then NUR up to the original start point for 10 more Carolina Dry Docks.
Head to the Pull-Up Bars:
Each PAX must complete 20 Pull-Ups and while you’re not doing Pull-Ups, you’re cycling through 10 Merkins and 20 American Hammers on repeat until everyone is done their Pull-Ups.
Head over to the 2nd most famous hill, Tara Tea Drive, again, dodging more deer.
Run to the bottom, 10 Jump Squats, run up, 10 Diamond Merkins. Complete 3 rounds.
Head to the field for a modified Jack Webb series:
1 WWII sit up : 4 Flutter Kicks. Complete all the way to 10:40.
Get on the line and run to the net and back.
Here’s the new one. Two lines, get in a plank position, head to toe. Man in the back does 5 Wide-Arm-Merkins then bear crawls to the front of the line (Indian Run style). Keep cycling through for about 50yds.
3-tier suicides.
MARY: Sprinkled in throughout the workout…that’s more my speed. We did finally close it out with Grave Diggers, Toe Touches and elbow planking.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter (3 convergences in a row starting on Thanksgiving, Turkey money drive, clay shooting, etc)
COT: You should’ve been there. Our guys are carrying a lot these days. Head up, shoulders back, eyes clear and lean on each other as needed.

Sharknado Again?

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We ran 1/4 mile and did the usual except for SSH’s they suck and Hill Billy Walkers are better.
THE THANG: Sharknado was called again because I’m not original and couldn’t think of anything else to do, so twice in a month seemed fine to me. Also I know how much Trucker loves it. The hand release Merkins where just for Cyclops. Here’s how it went.

10 Burpees / Run down Hill and back to top
20 Hand Release Merkins / Run down and back up
20 Big Boy Sit-ups/ Run down and back up
20 Monkey Humpers / Run down and back up
20 Scorpion Dry Docks / Run down and back up

Goal was to do entire cycle 5 times, most made it to three complete rounds. This shut up the mumble chatter very quickly as we got 3 miles in just three rounds.

MARY: Returned to COT for 5 minutes of stretching as I try to do at end of all my Q’s.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Dam To Dam Golf Tournament is Friday December 9th at 10:00AM Waterford Golf Club in Rock Hill. Contact Stang with any questions.
COT It was done.

Skunked

Leave a comment

4 men showed up for a chilly morning at FMHS. Quick mosey to the band field (no signs of Band Camp). Warm ups (SSH, Imperial Walker, Windmill, Squats). Next, we used the field markers to do a burpee ladder. 1 burpee at each 10 yard marker adding 1 every 10 yards running back to the end zone.
Next, we moseyed to the freshman drop off area. Three rounds of dips x20. Continued our journey around the school to the pull-up bars. Three rounds of pull-ups x5 and squats x10.
Mosey to the front of the school. Two rounds of 1 minute toe taps. Back to COT for Mary (LBCs, Flutters, Hello Dolly, Freddie’s).
