Q: hambone
PAX: Chunks, Pep, Dilbert, Under the Table, Country Parkour, Sunshine
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
CONDITIONS: Sky’s out thighs out

WARMUP: 1 lap truffle shuffle. Sunshine was looking good on the run.

THE THANG: Dilbert Country Parkour Country Parkour showed a tad late because of fatherly duties, but they definitely got the work in thanks to burpees.

Yes, burpees.

10 burpees. Go.

10 burpees. Go.

Feeling tired yet?

Chunks got out of the mental funk and started carrying the boats.

10 burpees. Go.

After 12 sets, Q decided he was no longer tired and decided to move the crew on.

The pax moved onto another lap around the park with a stop for low and slow merkins in cadence.

Pax finally moved to the hill to truffle shuffle up and do more merkins. Yeah, we did that a few times. Pep looked okay, but I promise he was feeling great.

Pax headed back towards the start and did some flutter kicks to round out the abs.

MOLESKINE: pax were sulking after the third set of burpees. How many more will we do? How much more of this can we take? Mind has a lot of power over the body.

All pax moved out of their funk and got hard after set 9. By set 11, everyone was getting stronger.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: nah

COT: prayers for kids present and kids to come.

Take a Load Off Fanny (The Weight)

AO: the-castle
Q: hambone
PAX: Chunks, Sunshine, Crawlspace
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: These were “teasing” conditions–thought it was gonna be warm, but it was actually still kinda chilly

WARMUP: 1/2 mile run

Walk the weights over

Go to the middle for some IST, SSH, and merkins.

THE THANG: run back and grab the weights (2x16kg kettlebell, 1x32kg kettlebell, 60lb sandbag, 2x15lb plates, 1 20lb ruck)

Round 1 (x2):
farmers’ carry with 2x16kg kettlebell
squat with sandbag
plate steer with weight plates
deadlift with 32kg bell
jog it out

Round 2(x2):
farmers’ carry with 1x32kg kettlebell
sandbag press
figure eights with 1 16kg kettlebell
swings with ruck
jog it out

Head back to start.

MOLESKINE: I played a little rinky dink and fooled the pax by thinking we were running back to the weights–we ran past them at one point and did some extra running. YOLO.

I always enjoy adding in some weighted work. After running and bootcamping quite often, it’s good to do a metcon that is disguised as strength work.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: May the 4th be with you, and may you be with us on the 4th as we launch Hendersonville F3.

COT: Prayers for surgeries, babies, wives, and another year of life.
