Geezer Butler

Big crowd this morning at Block Party. 24 men started their day off right, some ran, some rucked, and some stuck around and the rest followed the old geezer.
First stop, the bank on the corner, actually it is a pharmacy now. Circled up for exercises in cadence (SSHs, MNCs, IWs, WMs). Next, we selected a partner. Bear crawl to the middle of the parking lot, 10 partner merkins, bear crawl back to the curb, rinse and repeat 3 times.
Next, we ran down to the town hall offices, 3 rounds of Mike Tysons (set of 10). Back on the road, up to the top of the hill on Williamson St. 3 rounds of Partner pushes between the light poles. I was corrected, one of the poles was actually a flag pole (old man eyes). Next, hold plank, down to elbow, six inches. Back down the hill, return to the top of the parking lot. Brisk mosey to the parking lot across from COT with the brick wall. Dora 1-2-3, 200 Carolina Dry Docks, 300 Squats, 400 LBCs. Partner 1 performed the exercises while Partner 2 ran to the wall and did 3 muscle-ups.
Back to COT

Adequacy in Question

Kermit was not having the thought of a Clemson party at the Hive, so he came decked out in his Vols gear to represent. One would say he was adequate in his preparedness. Although his attire was the wrong color of orange, YHC would say…

Wegmans and I are currently doing a workout program, complete with exercise movements that tend to make you scratch your head at how they are possible.

Each of us questioned our adequacy in attempting the below movements. Between each set we ran a quarter mile.

Core
• Landmine Wood Chop x 36 (18 ea side)
•  Single-Arm Overhead Sit-Up x 60 – 30 ea side
• Deadlift x 40

Lower
• KB Goblet Squats x 40
• Calf Raises x 50
• OH KB Squat x 40

Upper
• Half-Kneeling Single-Arm Landmine Press x 48 – 24 per side
• One armed KB Row x 48 – 24 per side
• KB Chest Press x 20

Core 2
KB Side Bends x 40 – 20 per side
• KB Straight Leg Sit-Up X 40
• KB Deadlift x 16

At the end of it all, layers were shed and sweat was dripping. Solid work by all involved.

COT was good. Prayer requests spoken and prayed together. Show up next time to be part of it.

Thanks Airborne for the final Friday of the year!!

Punch List out.
