11
The theme for today’s workout was in celebration of my son’s 11th birthday. We started with a quick warmup of side startle hops, merkins, burpees, and lbcs. Took a quick mosey to the park and stopped every light post to complete an exercise (monkey humpers, gorilla humpers, merkins, CDDs, and burpees). Next, we did 11s with flutter kicks and lbcs.
After that, we split into two teams of 6 and did a relay race. The winning team got to choose the exercise and the amount of the losing team. The first race ended in a tie, and being the hard working men we are, it was decided one team would choose the exercise and the other team would choose the amount. After the first race, we did Freddie Mercurys, and after the second relay we did Moroccon nightclubs. We continued our stroll through the park with a quick mosey to the hill where we continued our theme of 11s with exercises at bottom and top of the hill. Once we knocked out the hill work we mosey-ed back to the finish. A great work for all.
Thanks for allowing me to lead.

Day 7 – HIPAAPALOOZA

February 27, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Day 7 of HIPAAPALOOZA.

1 word can sum it all up – EXHAUSTED

At this point in the festival we all just wanna go home and jump in the Fartsack. But we got 1 more show to do.

The Thang:

10 KB Swings  in 1 minute. If you finish your 10 KB swings before 1 minute is up do another exercise (Merkins, LBC’s, Dips, etc.)

We did this for 25 minutes. If you did the math that’s 250 KB Swings with some EC mixed in

We did 10 per minute as the focus was on form. You are also able to grab a heavier weight and get a solid 10 in.

We have plenty of time left so let’s start working on Turkish get-ups.

Because how do you get better at Turkish Get-Ups???

Jocko : Do Turkish Get-Ups!

Side note, if you do KB work the Swing and TGU are the only 2 exercises you need to get a painful workout in.

Rudolph led the PAX in a how-to session. Take off your shoe, balance the shoe on a closed fist, perform a TGU.

Repeat

Repeat again

Repeat once more

Put your smelly shoe back on and grab a Kettlebell.

Do Turkish Get ups – 5 reps per side

Repeat

BootCampers were back so lets mingle with them for some MARY

No Ten Count

February 27, 2019 / / 0 Comments

Little mixup during the HIPAAPALOOZA week. Site Q calendar had YHC booked for the GOAT but I know I had committed to the Pub that week. Got it all straightened out with Dr. Seuss and told him I owed him one. Besides it’s been a long time since I’ve posted here and was looking forward to it. Wanted to try some new things out there so decided to do a little recon the afternoon before. Cramerton has some really nice areas if you go beyond downtown. I had been thinking about how I wanted to do a weinke and had a good idea in mind. I have been pressured into attending Ranger AO in Metro by a few Metro PAX. Ranger is said to be the most intense, hardest AO in all of the Nation. Before I go there I need to build up my stamina as they are go, go, go with no breaks from what I’ve heard and read in their BB’s. So here’s what we did:

Disclaimer

SSH 15 IC

IW 15 IC

Merkins 15 IC

Pledge

*Breaker Breaker took off on a mosey by himself to get some miles in. 

Let’s Mosey!

Broke seems to think I took off at a 7min pace up Center St. Good, that was my plan. I think those Metro guys go at about a 6min pace so 7 was a good start for me.

Right on 10th to the 1st Baptist Church parking lot.

Round 1:

5 Merkins

Bear Crawl 5 parking spaces

5 Bobby Hurley’s

Bear Crawl 5 parking spaces

5 Burpees

Mosey up 8th take a right on 11th to the CB Huss boat launch parking lot.

Circle up and on your 6

LBC’s 50 IC

I asked Broke for a 10 count, before he got his first letter out of his mouth I said “HAHA There aren’t no 10 counts in a Varsity workout!!! Next exercise is…”

Flutter Kicks 50 IC

Mosey up the wooden bridge towards softball field. Flooded walkway to the left hindered part of my mosey plan. New route, go right. To the concrete bleachers from 1943 with a 50% grade stairway. Looks treacherous.

At the bottom 20 dips

run up stairs

5 burpees at top

run down stairs

R&R 4 more times

Plank for 6 at top when finished.

Mosey out of Cramerton rec complex to 8th. Left on 8th downhill to gazeebo

10 pullups

1 lap around downtown

10 pullups

10 diamond merkins

Mary – PAX choice

Prayer requests

Dr. Seuss took us out

We got in 2 miles but fell about 2 miles short of a Ranger workout, maybe next time. Oh and according to Tesla, I’m still a pussy?!?!? Great workout with you men this AM. Honor and privilege to workout along side of you. You push me to be better and faster.

AYE!

“Thankful to get hard”

February 27, 2019 / / 0 Comments

We call it “the gloom,” this this morning at PrisonBreak, it really didn’t feel gloomy. Yes, it was still 0530, but it seemed that the air quality and temperature were above the classification of gloom. Anyway, as always I arrive a little early and Volt is headed out for his run. Shortly  after, several roll in. It looked like we were going to do more rucking than running by the show of packs being unloaded. Tater Hole hops out and is looking for Sparky. Apparently they made arrangements at Folsom yesterday for Tayer Hole to borrow Sparkys ruck pack. Needless to say, he was left hanging. Sparky was a no show. That didn’t stop Tater though. He partnered up with Meatsuit and put in some co-ruck mileage. The group was pretty diverse with  ruckers, mall walkers, runners, joggers, and walkers. Some PRs were made.

All arrived safely back at start.

Announcements; Rooster CSAUP, P200, Lincolnton Middle School 5k(get with Sparky)

COT- prayer requests lifted

BedPan took us out in prayer

We all have our moments when we pray out loud. Sometimes what you really mean to say just doesn’t come off the tongue quite right. Remember, that’s OK, we all do it. During his prayer, Bedpan was thankful “to get out here and get hard with the guys.” Needless to say, Folsom found it pretty good time with it.

Thanks for coming out to the premier running AO in all of Dallas.
