PAX: T-Cell, Tiny Dancer, Venus & En Fuego (QIC)
Conditions: A pleasant wind chill hovering south of 9 degrees
Four PAX didn’t let some unreasonably cold temps stop them from getting after it this morning, hitting up The Skunk for a workout designed with 3S2T in mind (Strength, Speed, Stamina and physical / mental toughness).
The THANG:
0530 – Disclaimer given, we grab T-Cell’s 30lb homemade brick coupon and off we mosey. Arrive at soccer field for COP – SSH, LBACs, WMH, GMs and Scorpion Stretch. We mosey to end of field behind the goal, where instructions are given for the 3S2T inspired activities:
- Strength
- Perform 30 merkins, 25 squats, 20 WWIs in order; straight into…
- Speed
- AYG sprint length of soccer field
That’s 1 set, we RxR until we’ve completed a total of 4 sets. Bottoms officially soggied after first set of WW1s – we modify next sets to perform WW1s on path vs field, giving two nods to victory in that 1) not as soggied bottoms and 2) lengthier sprints now in place. After completion of the 4 sets, we grab the coupon for:
- Stamina
- Coupon Bataan Death March -> Last person drops and does 5 burpees while the rest of the PAX mosey in a line (lead PAX responsible for carrying the coupon). After completing the burpees, the last PAX runs to catch up with the group, tapping the new (last) PAX on the shoulder, who then stops to begin his 5 burpees, while the former burpee’ing PAX runs to the front of the line and takes over coupon reigns. Run approximate .5 mile loop, and end back at soccer fields for Round 2:
- Strength
- Perform 30 four-count flutter kicks, 25 iron mikes and 20 atomic merkins; straight into…
- Speed
- AYG sprint length of soccer field
That’s 1 set, we R&R until we have completed a total of 3 sets, where we grab the coupon for:
- Stamina
- Coupon Bataan Death March Round 2 – another .5 mile’ish loop
Arrive back at parking lot with 90 seconds to spare. Grab a parking space lane, bear crawl to opposite side, perform 10 irkins and 10 derkins, crawl bear back. Time.
COT:
- Prayers for Bad Boy and his M for their upcoming March 12th due date
- Prayers for Tiny Dancer and his family as they navigate this season of little sleep
- March 23rd CSAUP, aka The Scorpion, is a go. 0600 launch – get your HCs in
- We closed with a message on leadership, specific to the word “accountability”. We all know the importance of promoting an atmosphere of accountability within our lives / careers – though if you are like YHC you typically think of holding colleagues accountable by delivering a task and holding them accountable to complete said task. A slightly different spin offered in that accountability literally means to “account for one’s ability” – so challenge to the group was to think of ways as leaders within our home with our Ms and 2.0s that we are encouraging and fanning the flame of their God-given gifts and abilities toward further development. Accountability is not solely promoting an atmosphere of completion and compliance (though important), but also encouraging those around us to develop their gifts, develop their talents, and put them to use for the betterment of themselves and those around us.
Great work today men #KSA
