Lt Dan

No Legs and Two Big Balls

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: SSH, Arm Circles, Some Clapping

The Workout: All PAX gathered a Cindy and readied themselves for an upper body beatdown. YHC is working through a knee issue, so we were doing this Lt. Dan style, no legs.  

Tabata style workout, 45on/15off, AMRAP all exericises:

2 rounds:

  • Chest Press
  • Overhead Raises
  • Dying Cockroach
  • Hex Press
  • American Hammers

15 merkins after each round

PAX then lined up shoulder to shoulder in a V-SIT and passed a 25lb med ball down and back a few times – Group American Hammers

2 rounds:

  • Curls for the girls
  • Halos
  • Weighted WWIs
  • Overhead Press
  • Dips

15 merkins after each round

Second round of group american hammers

1 round:

  • Rows
  • Plank
  • Standing Dead Lift
  • Shoulder Shrug
  • Low slow flutter

15 merkins

Mary: PAX sat in a circle and a large exercise ball was introduced. All members of the circle held a V-sit while throwing the ball around the circle. One merkin penalty for each time the ball hit the ground. The total darkness supplied by Purple Cobra added to the excitement. 

Yeehaw’n through 1985

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: side straddle hops, daisy pickers, windmills, sir fazio arm circles

The Workout: Supposedly there was some large rotating storm in the area, thankfully it was a nice breeze and some drizzle for us. Nevertheless, a shelter workout was planned and that’s what we did. 

Tabata style rotation- Three sets of 4 exercises (30 seconds on, 15 seconds off) for 4 rounds. First set- mountain climbers, split lunges, erkins, and dips (RIP triceps). Second set- star jumps, dry docks, wall sit, plank jacks. Third set- LBCs, WW1, box cutters, saw plank. ~5 minutes left so we cooled down with some stretching, felt great. 

In celebration of my birthday we listened to the top hits from the year of my birth (’85). There was also a “yeehaw” sound on the timer that played around every 30 seconds. The music and the yeehaws got some laughs early on but were soon replaced by groans. The commercials from my free version of Spotify (like Lebron) were icing on the cake.

Mary: covered in the third tabata set

Announcements: Lots of events coming up- watch slack for updates and opportunities to serve.

T-Claps (Recognition): none specifically

Prayer: P.S.I. and family for safe travels

Relatively cool morning

/in /by

Warm Up: SSH, good morning, frankenstein, imperial walker, slo-mo merkins

The Workout:  YHC had nothing planned for today because YHC is lazy.  Started with 7’s in the parking lot (burpees & squats).  Mosey to the covered shelter for BTW & People’s Chair (X2), moseyed to the stage thing, stopping along the way for an exercise the name of which is escaping me at the moment, for dips & box jumps (X2).  Moseyed some more around the track and had some fun with Carolina Dry Docks and Reverse Lunges (X2).  Mosey back to stage thing for more dips, some derkins, then headed back.

Mary:  Started with a move I saw at F3 Timeshare in Myrtle Beach – On your six in a V position, start with left leg extended while the right leg is tucked to your chest.  Hold for 10 seconds.  Switch legs, hold for 10 seconds.  Then both legs extended, hold for 10 seconds.  

After that was popcorn Mary.  Box Cutters, Freddy Mercury, Jane Fonda, Heel Taps, and some elbow-to-opposite-knee thing that Jellybeans called.

T-Claps (Recognition): Prayer:  Forceps getting ready for a move to DC while also prepping for an interview to move up in his company.

Extra Shots for Everyone

/in /by

FNGs: None

Warm Up: SSH, 20 merkins OYO in honor of @vasoline “they are the only merkins you’ll get all day”

The Workout: Q arrived about 30 minutes ahead of the workout to find @jellybeans, @bobby boucher and @sunshine (Tyler Mosko) and @gamecock already EC-ing. Q joined for a few trips around the park ahead of the route. A few extra tequilla shots if you will.

The ME was hot and sticky, and generally felt like a bad decision as we wandered through neighborhoods, through downtown, to the end of Academy St. and the back to the start along Judd Pkwy.

Upon arrival back, @flop and @jellybeans squeezed in a few extra steps to hit their targets. A great jog with great mumblechatter, nothing breeds comradery like shared misery.

I forgot what we did after the run, probably some prayer requests and T-Claps. All of the morning tequila gave me brain fog.

@Finkle was missed for our travels.

Warm Up: SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Good Mornings, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps

The Workout: I like workouts that help make daily life better. Even though my daily life isn’t like being in the Army, they have some great exercises for strong movement. Today’s workout was inspired by the ACFT.

Thing 1
Started with a run around the baseball fields. Stopped at the rock pile and got a mediumish rock. 3 rounds of the following:

  • sumo squat w/ rock
  • overhead press w/ rock
  • ruh rohs w/ rock
  • hand release merkin
  • plank
  • sprint to the end of the parking lot, mosey back

Returned rocks and ran around the soccer fields, stopping back at the tennis court concession stand. All in all we got about 1.5 miles in.

Thing 2
We had some extra time because these dudes are BEASTS. 2 rounds of People’s Chair, Urkins and Dips.

Mary: Popcorn Mary followed by some yoga / stretching.

Announcements: F3 South Wake picnic, Memorial Day Murph

T-Claps (Recognition): Shooting Blanks for coming back out for his second workout. Keep it going!
