Line up in the grass facing South for 5x grass drills= chopping and rolling

COT with YHC taking us out!

NMM:  The focus of today was working through not so awesome conditions, not giving up and not letting the guy next to you down.  Strong performance by the PAX!  Shoutout to Butt Dial who is not only the first 4:13 member to bring an FNG, but he’s also expecting a new arrival and could use our prayers for a healthy baby.

New Year, Same PFT

PAX:  Umbrella, Venus, Faulkner, Toga (QIC), Too Tall, Ponzi, Hugs Not Drugs, Enron, Nurse Ratched, Penny Loafers, Not a Sport, Double Check, Plus 1 more?

Gloom Factor:  Nada, 70 and Sunny

13 redwoods set some bars today as the PAX took on the USMC PFT.  It went something like this:

Thang: Mosey to the park for a very brief warmarama with an explanation of the day’s events.  Two columns on the pull-up bars for strict form pull-ups.  Partner up for 2 minutes of crunches.  Mosey to the street and start 3 mile out and back route heading West on Maryland Way, turn left on Granny White and reverse direction at the Virginia Way light.

The PAX closed with a brief Mary session, COT and Umbrella’s finest roast.

NMM:  YHC hadn’t really done this since college, so it’s always good to see what that looks like.  The PAX will plan to leverage this little activity quarterly with goals now set for the coming months.  Strong work today!

Stay Classy,

Toga

Stonewall 2021 : Agassi and the Job Rocker 2.0

6 joined us today. @deepdish and @cowboy were early and late participants as they ran the big loop.
@Ringo, @moneyshot, @porcelain and myself held down the fort.
With Job Rocker 2.0 in hand, we moseyed to the tennis court.
The play list was all Eric Clapton. Old and new stuff. Apparently @moneyshot thinks that Clapton is boring and soulless. I beg to differ.

The WOD-
Warmup for 5 minutes
Then begin the Agassi Adventure. @porcelain looked up on our website the new found term for “suicides” as this is no longer PC. Apparently Andre hated running them on the tennis court, so the term “Agassi’s” was born.
Buy in on the baseline-
10 merks
10 dry docks
10 thrusters
10 dips
10 Freddy Merc’s
Then regular Agassi (running to free throw line, then half court, then opposite free throw line, then far touch line).

We proceeded to do this 8 times in total.

5 exercises To buy in the
3 regular running Agassi’s
1 side shuffle with hands up

Then small break that consisted of each man standing under their own basketball net and proceeding to do full squats then explode to touch the net with both hands.
This exercise was timed for a full 4 minutes with no break.

Then back to Agassi’s with the 5 exercises on the baseline to buy in.

2 sprinting full in under 32 seconds as group with @moneyshot winning

Then 1 crawl Agassi – first bear crawl(1/4), crawl bear (1/2), bear crawl (3/4), then crab crawl to far touch line and bear crawl home.

Then broad jump burpee Agassi.

Then Mosey to tennis court for another full court Agassi with net included.

Then mosey to parking lot for 7 minutes of Mary

Mixed bag of Margaret’s, Lbc’s, ankle touches, skyTouches, Ww 1’s, and Plank to finish.

Excellent work men. 100% attendance at coffeeteria.

It’s always fun hearing Deepdishes stories. Ask him next time you see him about his Lexus. 😊

Bomber – 01.01.21 – “NYD Divergence”

12 HIM braved the rain for a full-body assault to kick their 2021 off with a wonderful burn.

QIC: Princess Aurora

PAX: CB, Crablegs, Crawlspace, Cub Cadet, Hi-Viz, Michelin Man, Red Skull, Siri, Toothless, Vector, Whataburger

THE THANG:

After the obligatory wishes of Happy New Year and the disclaimer, mosey up to the clubhouse circle for COP:

  • SSH x 21
  • LBAC x 10
  • OH Claps x 10
  • R LBAC x 10
  • WMH x 10
  • SnL Squats x 10

Head over to the covered breezeway to find some dry ground for the main course. The start of a new year is the perfect time to take a measurement of our fitness. The idea behind this Benchmark WOD was to make it something easy to replicate throughout the year to mark progress. All you need is your body and less than 20 sq ft of space.

AMRAP for 21:00.

  • Ab Thrusters x 5
  • Merkins x 10
  • Squats x 15
  • Prone Snow Angels x 20 (face down, perform arms portion of snow angel)

With our number of rounds completed personally noted, it was time to actually get wet and mosey down to the low wall back at the flag. 2020 may have beat our “butts,” but we put it “behind” us and showed 2021 who’s “boss” with this posterior-focused circuit. All exercises x 20 (each side where applicable). 3 rounds total.

  • Jane Fondas
  • Elevated Single Leg Hip Thrust (foot on low wall)
  • Frog Pump (APD with soles of feet together and heels pulled toward crotch)
  • Explosive Bulgarian Split Squat (rear foot elevated, explode up out of split squat enough for foot to leave ground)

Time to shake out the legs and get some running in. Hill sprints up the driveway to the stop sign nonstop for five minutes. Rest as necessary.

Finally, PAX circled up in lot to give the lower body a break and get our Blackjack Webb on. 1:3 Merkin:Air Press (from knees). Ladder up to 7:21.

Breathing a sigh of relief after that final air press, it was time for Mary. All exercises x 21 IC (single count)

  • LBCs
  • Flutter Kicks
  • Box Cutters
  • Scissor Kicks
  • Leg Raises

COT/BOM

MOLESKINE:

Really proud of the guys that showed up in the face of what was supposed to be some nasty rain, and I was pleasantly surprised that it actually let up for basically just the hour we had together. Qing the NYD workout is always fun for me, and I’m really grateful that the PAX haven’t voted me out of that role yet.

I shared some words about today really being no different than yesterday with the exception that a few numbers on the calendar changed, and I firmly believe that. A quick rollover of the clock isn’t enough to heal the hurt and brokenness in the world. Thankfully, it’s also not enough to wipe out all the good and right things we’ve experienced over the last year. However, one can’t argue the mental shift that occurs at the start of something new, and I would encourage all of you to think about what you’d like to accomplish this year and set goals to achieve it. Most importantly, invite someone into that pursuit because it’s the accountability and encouragement that will make the difference in seeing those goals through.

BULLHORN:

  • Crawlspace on Q next week at Bomber
  • Check out Big Bang’s message about the Backyard Ultra to support Spicoli. Kicks off tomorrow and involves *a lot* of running.
  • Go Tigers.

PA out.
