Football! YOU BET!

/in /by

FNGs:  None

Warm-up:  Planted flag after rolling up facing 8 PAX ready to go!  Willy Mays Hayes, OH Claps, Seal Claps, Sir Fazios, Static Stretching with nice mumblechatter

Thang:  Mosey with football lateraling all the way, Ho-Ho-Ho! and picked up a medium rock.  Stubbs was funny and grabbed an XL.  Bastard.  (JK)  Circled up for the following exercises with rocks in cadence rotating one spot to the left:  Curls for the girls, Rutrows (when I came to the XL rock), bus drivers, ground pounders, squats, slap the rock, OH press…Singles with tricep extension.  On your six for six inches, nipplers and chest press.  Return rocks.

Mosey to various fields until we found a flat area on the pitch.  Ran routes for points.  Those PAX not throwing or catching conducted LBCs, Squats, Imperial Walkers, etc.  Competiion moved to 4 PAX playing football, QB, WR, Stationary defense doing SSH in front of QB and a Defender.  Rotated through all positions.  Lined up again for drop kicks/punts.  One PAX ran after the kicked ball while remaining PAX did exercises.  Moved into a 4 v 4 with GUMP being center/referee/cheerleader,  Lots of nice throws and catches.  Checked some PAX for stick -em.  Mosey back to parking lot for Mary.

Mary:  static stretches in a circle.  Some PAX got friendlier than others.  Something about a recent hike/tush play.  Lots of laughs for sure.  Each PAX shared a rose and a thorn.

Q forgot to do name-a-rama.  Blame his age.  YHC took us out.  Lots of Prayers for Family, Jobs, Surgeries

Honored to lead. – Dauber

Leadership Lessons

/in /by

YHC wanted to help build the leadership principles of initiative, contingency management, and succession planning with todays convergence crew at Crazy Ivan and Cletus. To that end, Q decided it was best to stay asleep until exactly 5:30am and then see what happened.  

FNGs: None

Warm Up: Something probably, I was brushing my teeth

The Workout: YHC had promised some upper and lower body work in the pre blast, where PAX could choose their own adventure. Drawing from that direction, @pikachu took a crew for lower body work while @bestinshow took a crew to work on upper body with kettle bells. Plan that was formed involved a switch of activities for the two groups about halfway through.

As the groups split, the Q finally arrived and fired up the Xmas music. A playlist with some truly horrific takes on xmas classics. 

Upper Body Thang:

3 rounds, of 9, 12 and 15 reps each

  • Goblet Squat
  • Cleans
  • KB Hopover Burpees
  • Single Arm Rows
  • Single Arm Snatches
  • Jump Lunges

Lower Body Thang:

Ascending progressing where you would work forward through a seriesof exercises, then reverse back to the start, then add another exercise the next round. Took place on the small tennis court

  • 20 Merkins, Bear Crawl across short side, 20 LBC IC, Crawl Bear
