Disney 3/5/26 “MICKEY”

/in /by

Warm Up: Mosey around the soccer fields and then circled up for some 22 counts of SSH, Frankenstein’s, Windmills and Good Mornings. 

The Workout: All the pax took a tour of Disney to see all the rides that the park had to offer. The riders were exposed to the Abyss, A Small world, Tomorrow Land, Haunted Mansion, and  Space Mountain before we took the long trip back to the start. 

MICKEY was with us the entire way and showed why he is still the OG. 

M- Monkey Humpers- 25 single count then run to the bottom of the Abyss hitting all steps on the way down and on the way back up. ( 3 Rounds) 

I- Imperial Walkers  – 20 single counts with a run to the end of the parking lot and back (3 rounds) 

C- Carolina Dry Docks- 15 reps- Run to the 3 corners of Tomorrow land 

K- Kerkins- Knuckle Push ups- 10 reps, Run up to the haunted mansion and back down (3 rounds) 

E- Everest- Step ups with a squat at the top- 10 reps, 5 on each side. Did a set of 25 SSH, hops and then did a run to the top of Space Mountain for round 2, came back to round 3 before recovering on the jog. 

Y- Yurpess- Wide grip Burpees, with a spread arm Y jump at the top (3 Rounds) as we moved with some quickness back to the starting line. 

There is a reason this is the happiest place in South Wake 

Mary: None (no Time)

  • Warm‑Up:

A Rope, Murder, and Tachycardia

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Warmed up with SSH IC, Daisy Pickers IC , Willie Mayes Hayes IC, and stretching.

The Workout:

  • After retrieving some frigid Cindys from the cache, we begin main event #1 with some traveling Bunny Pounders (Murder Bunnies with Cindy for traveling along the parking lot and ascending reps of Ground Pounders at each line for 13 parking spaces. At the far end we retraced our route traveling by lung walks and stopping at each line for an ascending rep count of sumo squats all while hugging our Cindy tight to the chest. (Don’t want Cindy to get too cold )
  • For main event #2, we assumed formation around the Battle Rope with Cindys at the ready. With the rope looped around a study (and icy) light pole, each man took a turn churning out 30 rope slams as fast and hard as possible while the onlookers held a squat and contemplated their life choices. Once the man on the rope finished, he checked in heart rate and divided by 10 to determine the number of reps that the squatting onlookers were required to perform. (HR 135 = 13 Reps, HR 150 = 15 Reps, etc). The harder and faster you go on the rope , the more pain you impose on the group. As the man on the rope gasped cold humid air, the onlookers dutifully banged out their reps. These sets were repeated until each man had a chance on the rope. The mandatory exercise was changed for the next round and the cycle continued for four rounds .
    • Rope + Off-set Merkins (on the Cindy)
    • Rope + Curls fu du Gurls (with Cindy)
    • Rope + Calf Raises (on the Cindy)
    • Rope + Mountain Climbers IC (next to Cindy)

Mary: Stretching

Announcements: Q’em All Challenge, Post Tracker (Self-Accountability)

Prayer: None named but prayed for the day and the PAX in general.

Toughest Mile Challenge

/in /by

15 PAX showed to test their strength around the track 4 times. This was brutal but we all pushed ourselves and got stronger.

We started at 0515 with a few warm up exercises. Then it was on like Donkey Kong.

Lap 1 – broad jump burpee
Lap 2 – lunge walk
Lap 3 – bear crawl
Lap 4 – run

Most guys finished up right around the hour mark. We had 3 ruckers join for COT. Maybe we can do this again to see how guys improve. Or not!

COT then prayer.

Awesome job guys. Thanks for joining me in another stupid idea.
