Nutcracker

Pax of 22 for NutCracker

Warmup

Jog around the parking lot and circle up for 22 rep of exercises (Imperial Walkers, Merkins, LBC’s)

Medicine ball Indian run to the industrial park, Man in front throws the med ball over his head to the pax member behind him. If the Medball hits the deck entire pax does 1o merkins.

At the industrial area, partner up size did not matter, Partner 1 would peter parker merkins up in the incline to the power transformer. Partner 2 would sprint to the transformer and back. repeat until the partners reach the transformer.

At the top of the incline, pax would perform a round of ab exercises in 22 rep count (WWII’s, Low Slo Fludder, Pickle Pounders) On the move over to the railings. Bear crawl plank hold down the railings to the end.

On the move back to the school, Trunk twist with Medball to the pax member behind you. The last man in line sprits to the front on of the line and we repeat. If the Medball hits the deck, pax performed 10 merkins.

Circle back up at front of the school for one last round of 22 merkins.

Ended in prayer, to go out and be a positive influence in whatever way the means.

Glad it’s Not a Turkish Getup Month Challenge

The Q was excited to get started this morning.  Bringing back a favorite exercise we haven’t done in a month.  The Turkish Getup!!

EC: Nemo thought it was a good idea to do a Murph for EC.  Roger Roger was there to do some push ups and cheer him on.

WarmUp:

Ran around the parking lot.  Before making it back to the circle we did some Frankenstein Kicks, High Knee pulls and High Ankle Pulls.
Circled up for rest of Warm Up

20 Cadence Count Side Straddle Hop
15 Cadence Count Good Morning
10 Cadence Count Fazio Arm Circles Forward
10 Cadence Count Fazio Arm Circles Backward
10 Cadence Count Hillbillie Squats

The Thang:

Partner up with someone with a similar Kettlebell weight.  Partners stood 3 parking spaces away.  Partner one started with 1 Turkish Getup Each Arm.  Partner two started with 2 Rockies (Burpee with the Kettlebell)  We counted up from 1 Turkish Getup Per Arm to 5 Turkish Getups Per Arm and 10 Rockies.  After you finished your exercise you bear crawled from your kettlebell to your partners kettlebell and did the opposite exercise.

After the Main course was completed we went on a walk with our Kettlebells.

John Cusack with your bell then we stopped and did 20 Bent Over Rows;
Partner 1 farmer walk the two bells while Partner 2 lunged walked.  We then circled up to do 10 Kettlebell Chest Press with Each arm;
Partner 2 farmer walk the two bells while Partner 1 lunged walked.  We then circled up for Weighted Homer to Marges;
Bicep Curled while walking.  We then circled up and did 20 Kettlebell Swings;
Tricep Press while walking.  We then circled up to do 20 Halos;
Each Pax then got to decided how they wanted to carry their bell to the last stop.  At the last stop we did 12 Cadence Count of the Bus Driver.  Just in time for the Holly Springs Run Club to run by us.

Joined Cletus for Mary and COT

Birthday Surprise at the nut

21 pax gathered to help YHC celebrate his 28th birthday – a good handful ran a funky EC route that Slide Rule came up with. 5:30 arrived and we were off with no FNG’s.

Group mosey to the basketball goal/playground circle, with kareokee and backwards runs along the way.

Warmup:
SSH x28 IC
Fazio arm circles x14 IC forward and backward
Standard Merkin x28

The first thing:
Pax got with an accountability partner for laps around the track, being told to push it all out there as there would be breaks between. Lap 1 was 7 burpees at each corner (total of 28) with LBCs x30 (YHC lost count) followed by pickle pounders x28 IC. Lap 2 was 7 turkish getups at each corner followed by Freddy Mercury’s x28 IC.

The second thing:
The pax then got to learn about Pikachu’s birthday surprise – another Q! 187 took over and moseyed us over to the bricks. All pax got two bricks – exercise 1 was a brutal wheelbarrel with brick in each hand march (hands coming out straight every “step”) with squats when breaks were needed. Pax went the length of the parking lot and then swapped. Exercise 2 was a reverse crab walk with bricks in hand the length of the parking lot. Bricks were returned and then it was time for….

The third thing:
The third Q was Skidmark. We went over to the playground for some 7s – pull ups and jump squats, alternating and adding up to 7. Skidmark then broke out his math skills and informed us that that was 21 of each, so we did 7 more of each to hit lucky number 28. We moseyed to the front of the school for a merkin clock where Skidmark impressed all by a)not stopping and b) calling for recovery on the one armed plank.

YHC lead some mary and took us out.

Words can’t express how much each of you and F3 mean to me – I’m a better man because of all of this and I’m grateful to have all of these HIMs in my life.

PS – Only two more years of hate 😉
