Introduction

After two weeks of not being able to post I was half dreading this . . . but also looking forward to getting back on the horse.

Storms in the early morning let to an audible after hearing a lot of thunder. So for safety it was all under the pavilion. In retrospect, the rain stayed away during the workout.

Loving the new heavy sandbags. . . .  hopefully everyone else will too. 😉

Warm-O-Rama

the usual

The Thang

Partner up.

First DORA

  • One partner does a “monster merkin”. Starting in plank position, Each hand on one coupon, do a row with your right arm, then your left, then do a merkin. Thats one rep
  • Partner does a power clean from the ground with a 65-75 pound sandbag.
  • alternate reps one at a time (switching when tired) to count up to 100 reps total

Second DORA

  • One partner sits on the picnic bench with a sandbag on the top of their feet. Do leg extensions.
  • Partner holds a coupon in Rifle Carry.
  • Switch when needed. 200 total leg extensions

Third Dora

  • On your 6 like you are doing a big boy sit up. Legs bent and feet flat on the ground. Your partners feet directly next to yours, facing each other. Putting the sandbag on both your feet as a counterweight, one partner does a big boy holding a coupon, then passes it to their partner, who does a big boy sit up.
  • Alternate until 80 coupon big boys are done.

  • Keep doing this until 6AM.

Circle of Trust

CoT was about a sequence in “The Good Dinosaur”.

In the movie a T Rex voiced by Sam Oneill tells a story about being attacked by three crocodiles. Arlo the good dinosaur wishes he wasnt scared like the T Rex. The T Rex says “who says I wasnt scared? You cant beat Mother Nature. You cant beat her or outrun her, but you can get through it. You can find out what youre made of.”

The moral is that you can be scared of a lot of things in life. But instead of trying to avoid it or put it off . . . get through it. Sack up  . . . face your fear . . . and get through it. Find out what you are made of.

So if you havent . . . go to a black diamond. Find out what you are made of. See what the guys that post a hundred times a week are talking about. Go face your fear of peer judgement, fear of falling out, or fear of not ebing able to keep up and go attend one. I guarantee you can do it.

Naked Man Moleskin

Great freaking group this morning!

Dumpster Fire kicking ass and finishing up the ATR 13 at Iron Lion!! Congrats!!

Country Grammer and Mellencamp were trying to avoid callouts by the Q for taking breaks . . . . I SEE YOU BOTH. 🙂

Mellencamp with a stealth HC . . . picking up the slack for Speaker City and Cowbell

Magellan and baywatch were kicking ass and taking names all morning.

The two giants . . . backdraft and sulley were keeping a steady stream of merry mumblechatter all morning.

Faceplant and Dumpster Fire quietly sneaked off to a corner of the pavilion for the bulk of the exercises. No idea what was going on over there . .  .

Faceplant disappeared for a cousin eddie “code brown” for awhile. I thought we actually lost a PAX at a BC were we literally didnt move from under the pavilion.

Baywatch had a “blair witch” thing going on for NoR. Then realized he didnt start the video so we had to do the whole thing over again.

Looooove the new sandbag toys . . .  🙂
