However….

This routine was designed to show you that you don’t actually need any of that to get a good work out in. Just need the drive to push your self and about a 7 foot open square space…

#NoExcuses

Thanks as always for allowing me to lead. You are a phenomenal group of men and I’m blessed to be a part of it.

CoT- Staples is moving his mom into memory care today. Please keep them in your prayers.

Soccer Mom and LMP are continual prayer request.

Im pretty sure the the final score was 14-7 with Team Dope failing to catch two balls thrown in the basket on the second drive. Also the fact that 3D only had one flag on their first score, YHC would have for sure had him down if the flag would have been present…

15 Minute Pre-Party:

Led by Typo+ with Old Hickory. Not 100% for sure. As we were cruising in it looked like there was some sort of crawling on the asphalt.

Medic: Lots of 80’s stuff on Sex Ed’s playlist… everyone seemed to enjoy it, I actually have no idea what was played…. However, I can tell you that Colter Wall was not played, which was sad to say the least.

4 Square Partay…..

24 PAX in Attendance : Nimbus 1500, Staples, TVG, 3rd Degree, Old Hickory, Show Me, Ulysses, Topper, Double Bird, Tebow, Piccolo, Barney, Spartan (HTH????), Mr. Opus, Numb Tucks aka “Onion”, FNG “Freud”, Hush Puppy, FNG “Guack”, Manscape, (TH???), Mic Drop, IGeezy, Mu-dadgum-Fasa…, Professor X,  YHC Kermit on Q.

Pre-party…. 

Led by 3D…. we started off with a Bear Crawl, 1 MILE… after the Bear Crawl, we Crawl Beared back, but we increased it to 2.5 miles. It was pretty easy. Most of us were feeling pretty good, so after that we did some sidewinders up and down the bleachers. MOT, Hand Stand… Prof X beat us all, even though N-15 was able to complete it with one hand, P-X still won… go figure. We did a quick mosey to under the bleachers where we completed 10 pull ups, however, we did them without using our arms. 3D over achieved and did 15, as usual. Since we didn’t do enough BC’s and CB’s on the front end we decided to Bear Brawl the remaining time. At that point, my arm actually fell off, I was still able to beat 3D, but N-15 beat both of us, he actually completed the entire routine blind folded and drunk…. story of my life.

In reality we actually did

Bear Crawl – Crawl Bears 10-20-30-40-50

(3D and Numbtucks smelled like onions)

Side Winders on the Bleachers

10 Pull-ups

Bear Brawl 10-20-30-40-50

Nobody was actually drunk… I think.

Attendees were 3D, N-15, YHC (KermiT), P-X for an undisclosed amount of time….

Medic: A variation of several PAX request. Great playlist fellas, except that no one could actually hear it unless you were in the middle of the field and I got stuck listening to frikkin ABBA,… thanks Tebow…

6:00a.m. starts with a quick intro, the fine print details.

WarmUps :

GMs OYO

SSH’s IC 20x (3D and Numbtucks kept sniffing each other)

Thang (4 Square)….

4 Square is pretty basic…..

But for real.

It was super complicated…. and to complicate it even further, my dadgum instructions didn’t print. So we were stuck with two print off’s, when I needed 4……

Even though we were low on instructions Old Hickory, TV Geezy, Mic Drop, & KermiT CoQ’d/Team Lead each group.

So the 4 Square was very similar to the previous 4 Square pictured below. However the MoT was Sprints to midfield, and (Numbtucks stunk) the CoQ/Team Lead could audible MoT at any given time. Also qty’s changed for the following:

WWI 25x

Summers 50x

Starfish 25x

American Hammer 50x

Abyss Merkin 50x or 25x (Depends on whether or not you were in fragrant range of 3D or Numb Tucks…)

Bench Press 40x (3D had an awful stench)

Flutter Kicks 50x

Baby Crunches 75x

Side Dips 25x

Dwarf Kicks 25x

It was pretty cordial. Just ask Freud. —-Merlot anyone?—-

We wrapped it up and sealed it with a quick lap around the track with some good ol’ fashion GM OYO, Tebow Stretches, Cherry Pickers (or maybe that was at the beginning), and some Willie’s. (Numb Tucks and 3D both were found in a remote location, both very stenchie…)

Post Party – 

Led by no one-

Take my frikkin coupons back to Big Blue.

There were a lot, and several PAX helped.

Other News-

The Burden Run

22 PAX in Attendance : Creeper, Nimbus 1500, Stats, Staples, TVG, 3rd Degree, Old Hickory,  Cheez Whiz, Swinger, Show Me, Numb Tucks, Whoops, Ulysses, Sprinkles, Topper, Double Bird, Mickey Mouse, Pocahontas, Tebow, Little Miss Piggy, Ragdoll, YHC Kermit on Q.

Pre-party…. 

Numb Tucks led 3D, TVG, Staples, Stats, Nimbus, & YHC on a 45 min off the cuff blaster.

Starting off with suicides on the tennis court. Partner up and PAX A suicides 7 laps while partner B planks. Each PAX continues this rotation in decreasing number, finally ending in 1 lap.

It was lovely to say the least. And I have failed to mention that is was already a stunning 98 degrees (J/K 72…) with a negative wind… it was pretty much like walking through warm pudding this morning except we were actually running through it.

Next 15-10-5 DIBs 3 Rounds. Where Im pretty confident that not a single PAX was actually keeping up with whatever they were doing because it would have been nearly impossible with that much MC….

Next was a quick mosey to the small bridge for a quick Bear Crawl (I felt cheated) and down the trail to the semi steep incline where we Crawl Beared up (I did not feel cheated…)

Then we continued our mosey around the pond where there was another speed bump of 50 calf raises. Which are deceptively difficult at 5:30a.m.

Mosey back to parking lot and called it a wrap. Thank the Lord.

Thanks Numb Tucks for stepping up and leading. Next time maybe Stats can get get there on time and he can lead….. :[

Medic: Brought to you by Metallica. History lesson included….

6:00a.m. starts with a quick intro, the fine print details and an impromptu prayer for those seeking The Higher Power. 

WarmUps :

GMs OYO

Willie Mays Hays OYO

11ish SSH’s IC

High Plank (Lifting L&R Arm)

All the while giving a schooling on the background of Metallica and James Hetfields faith, or lack there of, depending on where you stand.

Thang (Burden Run)….

Think of a Indian Run mixed with a Batan Death March, meets a Ruck Sack and a Shovel Flag Carry, yep it freaked me out a bit too.

Its a little hard to explain you kinda needed to be there (TWSS?) but I’ll give it a good ol college try, which is destined to fail like all my other good ol college try’s….

PAX start to mosey as the lead PAX carries shovel flag. Starting Rear PAX drops and does 2 Burpees with said ruck. PAX then sprints to about 10 yards in front of the lead PAX (Carrying Shovel Flag) to provide enough time to drop the ruck and grab the shovel flag before he is passed. Now the new rear PAX continues in line until he reaches the dropped ruck where he then puts on the ruck, drops and does 2 Burpees, then sprints to 10 yards in front of the lead PAX, drops the ruck, and is handed the shovel flag. Rinse and Repeat.

This is the MOT for the entire workout.

Speedbump #1  (The Sidewalk)

50x Jane Fonda’s (I think that’s what they’re called) Lay on your side and raise your leg as high as you can. After 50 roll to your other side and repeat. Numb Tucks started complaining after 4… he was pretty consistent.

Speedbump #2 (The Curb)

25 Incline Merkins… They were more like baby incline merkins because the only incline was the curb….

Speedbump #3 (The Busses)

25 Decline Merkins. It just seemed right. There was a hill, we needed a speed bump to allow others to catch up, and bada bing bada boom.

Speedbump #4 (The Ledges)

I enjoy God’s created natural areas. I also like to pull out a few Sasquats when we can, so there’s that. Also, I enjoy meandering through the woods, so to train for the elevation gains and losses we used the ledges as a stair master.

25 Sasquats

50 Step Ups = (Step all the way up the ledge and back down with both feet, facing the ledge, counts as 1)

50 Step Downs = (Standing on top of the ledge and facing out, step all the way down with both feet and then back up, counts as 1)

Yes, you read that correctly.

Speed Bump #5 (The Cluster ….)

Theres was nothing “OK” about what happened here…

50 Negative Leg Raises

50 Negative WWI

One PAX literally crapped himself while doing one of the exercises. Because it completely disrupted the flow we did a 10 Burpee penalty for that ol messy mess.  That was completely uncalled for, thanks Wiz 🙂

We continued in our reps and a couple PAX broke out with amnesia and could not remember how many frikkin WWIs we were doing to the point that Q got a little irritated with folks inability to remember a simple number repeatedly, so,…  In honor of amnesia we did 10 more Burpees.

Speed Bump #6  (The Parking Lot)

Since now we are honoring things,…. In honor of Little Miss Piggies 16th wedding anniversary we finished the morning off with 16 Ironmikes each side is a half…. cause that makes sense right? After we finished, LMP stated that he is looking forward to 10 more years of marriage, so to honor that…. we did 10 more Ironmikes each side as one.

Thats a wrap.

Post Party – 

There wasnt a Post Party cause degummit everyone was frikkin spent. Or nobody stepped up. I actually forgot that we didn’t do a PP until I started writing this sentence…

Other News-

  • 2nd F opportunity:

We have quite a few. If I miss one I’m sorry so here goes: This coming week after Defiant and after Broken Wheel those who are interested will be meeting at E&B for a nutrition accountability group…. There are rules, goals, consequences, and rewards. Thanks Numb Tucks for leading this.

Next Friday we are doing some climbing at Ascent in M’Boro around 6:00pm. and then food and beer afterwards. If you’re interested hit up Kermit.

In July Stats is heading up another challenge, I forget the deets but check Slack for more info, Im sure we will be seeing some emphasis on this as it draws closer.

  • 3rd F opportunity:

Staples coworker Robert lost his life this week. Lift up Roberts family as they are grieving.

Thank you HIM for burning it out today.  Its a blessing to have the opportunity to serve you guys.

Peace out!

Little Miss Piggy is leading a few PAX in a 40 day 1 mile run challenge. YHC is participating in this so to get the mile in PAX completed a variation of the 1 Mile Indian Run. Basically a Bataan Death March but instead of Burpees the PAX had to pass off a 5ft steel bar to last PAX in line, where last PAX would then execute 7 squats while holding steel bar over his head then catch up to the group, pass off the bar, and run to the front of the line… R&R throughout the workout.

Speedbump #1  (.15ish Miles) Back Side of Track

2 Burpees

Speedbump #2 (.3ish Miles) Field House

PAX found a partner and proceeded to do 5 rounds of Wheel Barrows up the stairs. MOT back down the hill to the bottom of the stairs was Bear Crawl. Everybody really seemed to enjoy this…. 🙂 Each PAX went up the stairs 5x and down the hill 10x

Somebody said something about a 3 Burpee attitude adjustment… so we did 4….

Speedbump #3 (.65ish Miles) Field House

PAX stayed with previous partner and executed 20x each of Abyss WWII

Proceded by….

5x Low and Slow Merkins IC with a 5 sec hold on the bottom.

Speedbump #4 (.8ish Miles) Back Side of Track at the Benches

25x High Incline Merkin

25x Low Incline Merkin

20x Abyss WWII

Speed Bump #5 (.(9ish Miles) The Bridge

Cant pass the bridge twice with out a quick Bear Crawl & Crawl Bear.

Many PAX were pretty tapped by then and the CB was quite difficult, YHC is guilty of not being able to fully complete the CB back across… 🙁

Speed Bump #6 (1.1 Miles) The Parking Lot

Medic died on our last 30 yards of the mosey so that was a good sign to end it.
