Shouldering the Burden

AO: mistymountain
Q: McAfee
PAX: Skeet, Flash, Transporter, Sanders, Mt. Men x3 + Fly Guy returning from the depths of basketball practice!
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: cold but not horrid

WARMUP: Willy Mays Hays + Deep Squat holds followed by a quick 1/2 mile mosey.

THE THANG: Started off with phase 2 of the Warm-Up, “10” Ultra-Merkins, but each rep consisted of 5 Merkins interspersed with toe taps, spidermans, and hop to standing.

Next we got into the good stuff; PAX took turns helping each other to shoulder the burden (literally) as 2 spotters helped a PAX to set up the appropriate weight for squats, deadlifts, and finally curls, each for reps of 15 (or to failure).

PAX circled through this rotation and performed flutters, American Hammers, J-Los, WW1s, and tons of merkin variations.

Finished off with a quick sprint.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Half Marathon coming up next Thursday 12/14!!

COT: Praying for Rockies’ little daughter who is undergoing surgery today.

Prayed out with an old germanic/norse inspired incantation:

My name is not my own; it is borrowed from my ancestors. I will return it unstained.

My honor is not my own; it is on loan from my descendants. I will give it to them unbroken.

Our blood is not our own; it is a gift to generations yet unborn. We shall carry it with responsibility.

Devils and Coupons v0.2

AO: devilsden
Q: McAfee
PAX: Skeet, Flash, Linus
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: Easy and breezey 60s

WARMUP: set up our game pieces, aka Troll Bait, aka Coupons, with PAX getting loose OYO. Special shoutout to Flash for getting in 2 miles via a nice mosey from his house to the AO!

THE THANG: Devils and Coupons v0.2!
There is a nasty troll that lives under the bridge at Devil’s Den, he’s a very nasty troll; slothful, lazy, arrogant, jealous, impatient, unkind, and persistently attempting to bring HIM down to his level. It is the physical embodiment of what Rogan and Goggins refer to as one’s “inner b”, and it must be defeated, again, and again, and again, in perpetuity.

To defeat the troll, our intrepid band took turns rolling for advantage and to determine rep count.
Station 1 – Dips (natural 2x multiplier)
Station 2 – Troll Killers aka Man Makers
Station 3 – Pull Ups (Merkins for the rest of the PAX)
Station 4 – Coupon Shoulder Press

Each round we increased the multiplier from 1x, to 2x, to 3x, and made it to 4x before time. In total each PAX performed ~100 dips, ~75 merkins, ~40 pull-ups, plus man-makers and shoulder press. Safe to say the troll was defeated, as were our arms.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Chad Challenge at Misty Mountain on Friday!
