Day: February 5, 2024

Day one PR challenge and I’ve got rep and count cheaters at the first workout. We did a simple WOD but it was a ton of reps.
Round 1 100 reps. each – Merkins, Squats, Big Boys, and SSHs. Rinse repeat but drop the reps. by 25 until you get to a final round of 25 each. This was very similar to our PT test with the exception of the useless running which I intentionally left out. There was however a timer and every 3 minutes we stopped where we were and did 3 burpees. Very simple but very effective. You’ve got to pace yourself in those first two marathon rounds so that your body doesn’t die before you get to the sprint rounds.

Well first thing I saw when we started was someone doing half reps.Then I’ve got Ball Joint and SA tag teaming reps looking like Midnight Express after the Road Warriors kicked the snot out of them at The Starcade 89’ Scaffold Match. Next I saw the worst version of face down arse up crawling on your knees Merkins I’ve ever seen. I guess that’s the version you want to practice if your boss has a tiny desk. I can tell you now that the things I saw out here today are burned into my brain and I can’t unsee them. I heard a hey man It’s You vs You. Well if we’re going to cheat that bad we need to change that motto to If You Ain’t Cheating Then You Ain’t Trying. It wasn’t all bad though I had guys pushing and grinding through the suck. On another high note I had the Peoples Champ back out here in the Gloom with us this am and he appeared to have picked up right where he left off before Lynn Good abducted him last month. Then there was Westside this guy is like the original Terminator literally said nothing just grinding through rep after rep with impeccable form and performance. He’s the only one to get through the all rounds from what I could tell. Dude went Beast Mode.

We finally got through that mess and headed back up for the Pledge and COT.

Folsom Winter Nationals 2/10 at 0630

There were several spoken and unspoken prayers. As always we’ve got way too many things to be thankful and give praise for.

Thanks For The Support and Opportunity.

Well that’s all for now I’m sure I will get the chance to critique more of you guys in the near future. Until then remember If You Ain’t Cheating then You Ain’t Trying.

With pushing rocks starting we had a big crowd (15) at Midoriyama.  The days are getting a little longer and I felt like it would be a good day for some ultimate frisbee.  It was a really fun game but the outcome was the same. GOOD WORK LEPPARD!!!

AO/Region: Crows Nest – Lake Wylie

It was good to be back at the Lake this morning!

We started off with a typical F3 warm up: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Moroccan Nigh Clubs, Windmills, Produce Pickers, and Hillbilly Walkers.

Then we mosied over to the picnic shelter for a few rounds of work that included: 10 Step ups each leg, 10 dips, 10 split squats each leg, and 10 incline merkins. We followed each set up with a lap around the basketball court. We did 3 sets.

After that everyone got excited for an “Ab Destroyer” Dora. We did 100 in and out on the swings, 150 big boys, and 200 LBC’s

That left us just enough time to run a set of hillside 11’s, with CDD’s at the bottom and jump squats at the top.

We gratefully made it back to COT to meet up with the runners!

Thanks Sprocket for the opportunity to lead!
