Putting in a Little Hard Work

On this day at Folsom we put in some hard work. We didn’t run away from the hard work but instead we ran head first into it. After a quick warm up and some good stretching we headed off to the Big Flag Pole at the Ag Center. We stopped multiple times along  the way but kept the body moving with Lunges and Jump Squats. Once at the Flag we said the Pledge we caught a quick breather and an active recovery stretch. Once finished with that we ran through 5 rounds of the following.

  • 5 Mike Tyson’s
  • 10 Sissy Squats (heels on the curb)
  • 15 Mountain Climbers
  • Run a Lap

Once we finished up there we headed to the fence by the horse track for several rounds of Inverted Body Weight Rows and Body Weight Triceps Extensions.

After this the arms were trashed so we headed around the track to finish them off with a few sets Reverse Grip Incline Merkins on the bleachers paired up with some Jumping Box Squats also using the bleachers.

We’re cutting it close at this point so we mosey back for the COT. We stopped a few more times on the way to do 3 Kraken Burpees at each light on the way back. We hit the last light in the parking lot finished the Krackens and it was TIME.

COT, Prayers, Praises, Etc…

 

 

 

 

 

 

VQ @ Pain Lab

It was a cold morning at the final Gashouse / Pain Lab for 2023, so cold in fact there was ice on the ground… ok it had apparently been dumped from a cooler the night before but you get the drift!  Flintstone had the Q for the bootcampers & warmed us up a little.  We broke w/ 7 PAX for PL.

The Thang:  Zombie walked w/ coupons down to the amphitheater.  We completed the warm up with a round of 60 Second Circle (High Knees – 1 Burpee, SSHs – 2 Burpees, Moroccan Nightclubs – 3 Burpees, Imperial Walkers – 4 Burpees, & 30 seconds each of the “patented” RoL & LoR.   Next up was box jumps up the amphitheater rows (5) followed by 5 curls.  In honor of 2023 we completed 4 rounds w/ a final 3.  Next was Flip Flops w/ 1 partner counting up to 23 LBCs & the other counting down from 23 Squats.  Instead of Merry Christmas it was on to Happy New Year w/ Step-ups & Derkins.  Note to self… I think Tube forgot to yell Happy New Year as even Whoopie thought we completed enough to qualify for the Chad 1000!  With just 2 more PAX & ~ 15 minutes left YHC Omaha’d so we could move up to the top of the parking lot to play w/ some Spartan workout props.  We rotated through tire flips, sledgehammers (not the PAX although he was here), farmer carries, OH claps w/ bricks, gravel bucket carries, & squat presses or curls.  Back to the flag for about a minute of Mary.  TIME!  It was honor to lead you men.
