ended with COT watts up was scared I was gonna forget to pledge an do namerama no faith 🤷‍♂️We did it took prayer requests and I prayed us out. Props to the tough guys that went to the murph afterwards that’s a lot to take on for one morning. Thanks again for the opportunity to lead men I had fun I’m liking the new Monday boot camp option everyone should come check it out.

on to the next one Westside

Rolled in this morning to a crowd of two. Slowly a few more Hims rolled in. This isn’t our normal crowd, where is everyone? The weather is freakin perfect this morning! 

Whoopee suggested we combine for the first half, so I prefer a good crowd, why not. It tends to create more mumblechatter. And I like to hear the crap that comes out of Whoopees mouth. We do the pledge and get right to it.

Whoopee has his toys broken out and Voodoo discovers that there is an extra box in the bed of his truck. He peaks inside and realizes that this box is in the wrong bed, he should have left these toys at home- oops! I’m glad I didn’t see them, I hope Voodoo isn’t scarred for life after seeing what’s in that box. When I asked about it, he said you don’t want to know. Whoopee just smiled and winked.

We get to work and begin doing the circuit that Whoopee has planned for us, except we are missing one thing. TUNES! Voodoo called it as I ran to get my Bose box. I decide that this little circuit needed some Metallica radio. I find that hard rock gets me to push myself a little harder. Unlike listening to something like Country music that just makes me want to cry about some ex-girlfriends or my dog that died. Everything is going great, Hermie is doing cartwheels across the parking lot and next thing I know, Whoopee has got me in a headlock and giving me Nolan Ryan’s to the face, wtf!? He apologized and said he had a flash back from when he was a little boy and someone tried taking his Twinkie. OK?

Warmups are over. Let’s get back to work! The Gashouse split off and went jogging and Painlab stayed for the real pain.

One set each: 50/10 we only have 30 minutes

Halos, frog crunch, Russian rows, side plank thread the needle, black widow knee slide, W’s,  1 minute rest

Butterfly sit-ups, seated corkscrew, levitation crunch, siteup elbow thrust, crescent tucks, backward 7’s. 1 minute rest

Burpees, squat shadow boxing, side lunges, CDD’s, and then Gashouse returned from their jog to help us finish some Marys.

Shout out to Turtleman who has the toughest workout of us all, stuck up in an isolated room at CMC Main. You got this brother, keep Pounding!

Thank you God for giving me the means to come out here and push my body. Thank you God for this beautiful weather to enjoy this F3 workout.

COT:

• D-Day was originally planned for 5 June but had to be delayed by 24 hours due to poor weather.
• The Commander in Chief of the German army in the west was Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt, who had 850,000 men at his disposal.
• The D-Day operation aimed at breaching the Atlantic Wall, a series of coastal defenses built by Nazi Germany between 1942 and 1944 that ran from Norway to the Franco-Spanish border.
• With an Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe seeming ever more likely, in early 1944 Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel was tasked with strengthening the Wall.
• Over 1.2 million tons of steel and 17 million cubic meters of concrete were used in building the Wall’s defenses, and this included 92 manned radar sites.
• By the time of the Allied invasion on 6 June, more than 5 million mines had been laid in northern France.
• A fake army made up of inflatable tanks and trucks was created in Kent to fool the Germans into thinking the invasion would take place in the Pas-de-Calais.
• Around 7,000 vessels of all shapes and sizes were used by the Allies on D-Day, including 139 major warships, 221 smaller combat vessels, more than 1,000 minesweepers and auxiliary vessels, 805 merchant ships, 59 blockships and 300 miscellaneous small craft.
• Over 4,000 landing craft used to transport the invasion force onto the beaches of Normandy.
• 73,000 US Troops and 83,000 British and Canadian troops crossed the channel on D-Day.
• Shortly after midnight on 6 June, around 24,000 US, British and Canadian airborne troops began landing in France.
• The Allies landed on five beaches in Normandy. These had been codenamed “Utah”, “Omaha”, “Gold”, “Juno” and “Sword”.
• Of the 34,000 men who landed on Omaha on D-Day, 2,400 were killed.
• On Omaha beach, the US 116th Infantry Regiment’s A Company lost 96% of its effective strength in one hour.
• The landing on Utah beach was ultimately successful with just 300 casualties of the 20,000 men put ashore.
• By midnight on 6 June, 132,000 Allied forces had landed in France, while more than 2 million were eventually shipped there in total, comprising a total of 39 divisions.
• Allied casualties on 6 June have been estimated at 10,000 killed, wounded, and missing in action: 6,603 Americans, 2,700 British, and 946 Canadians.
• Total German casualties on D-Day are not known, but are estimated as being between 4,000 and 9,000.
