Friends don’t let friends skip leg day! @ the Bulldog

I’m starting to see More of Les Nessman. Keep it up brother, good work!

I have not been working my legs enough, so I decided to give ’em some attention.  This sounded good on paper, so let’s see what happens.

3 rounds, 50 seconds each with 10 seconds to transition to the next exercise.

Set 1: Sumo squats, Bulgarian split squats, Sumo walk, baby makers, wall sits, step ups, Romanian dead lifts. Rinse & Repeat 3x’s

Set 2: kickbacks, calf raises, side leg raises, forward leg raises, mountain climbers, side kick throughs, alternating side squats. Rinse & Repeat 2x’s – ran out of time for #3.

Announcements: Convergence Monday @7am, meet at FUSE with a glove?

Prayer request:  Turtleman, Norwood, Huckleberry, Tiger’s mom & dad, Orangeman’s oldest daughter, What’s Up’s nieces son’s heart transplant 🙏

Good work this morning men. Thank you for the opportunity to lead 👊

Cemetery Hill

Any of ya’ll been to Gettysburg? If not, you need to go and do it and do it in the spring or summertime, when the battle was fought. You need to see it that way. Cemetery Ridge was where the Union army dug and it gave them the high ground. The National Cemetery that Lincoln gave the address was on the hill behind the ridge. It is massive. Make sure you see it. It’s a very moving place.

YHC decided to take the pax into the cemetery for a little hill work as the Goat just was a little “soft” to be frank. And YHC was looking for something a little more since this was “shred” weekend with the canyon coming up. So off we went!

COP:

Easy jogs across the parking lot to do this:

SSH X 20 (jog)

IW X 20 (jog)

Tesla Stretches

Mtn Climbers X 20

Mosey over to the cemetery and down to the bottom of the hill.

About 2/3 of the way we stop and do some “chop-chops”. @ 5 of them.

Back to COT and a 2 minute plank.

NMM: Hot, humid morning. But a good one! Everyone put in the work and we did the work. Great day to be alive boys! Every day is. Be grateful.

F3 The Storm – August 29, 2023

Pulling into Stuart W. Cramer High School I noticed that many of the parking lights were off. I had planned my weinke around them working, so I was going to have to “go off the cuff” with my Q in the morning.  Seeing no FNG’s I gave a brief disclaimer and we took off on a mosey to find some lights.

The mosey took us down toward the lower parking lot at the visitor side of the football stadium.
