Senior moment…

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: None
Warm Up: None, already warm from the EC or Ruck EC’ers
The Workout: Sprinkler led the rucking crew out for over 3 miles.  YHC took the remainder of the PAX on a mosey down to the Lake and up Bass Lake Rd.  Lots of complaining this morning on the route…Maybelline was particularly salty that YHC didn’t venture too far off from the normal AGS route, however, YHC hadn’t been at AGS all year, so it was new to him :).  Great work by all today, picking up the six and general banter and mumble chatter.  YHC closed with the count and announcements, moving to prayer, he was reminded by Pikachu that he had yet to do name o’rama…we all forget sometimes, right?  Closed with prayer requests and then pledge of allegiance.  YHC was informed by POTS that May is Military Appreciation Month, so I recommend all Q’s to say the pledge post COT to close as a great reminder of the men and women who have served and continue to serve our nation everyday.
Announcements: Sleep in Heavenly Peace opportunity to serve
T-Claps (Recognition): Bobby Boucher for hard work and determination!

FNGs: None

EC: Norm, Red, Sprinkler, Katniss, POTS, Gamecock

Warm Up: Good mornings, Willie mays haze, Imperial walkers, Hillbillies, SSH, Sir Fazio arm circles

The Workout:

Part 1: Wheel of Misfortune.

Circle up with one PAX in the middle. The PAX on the outside are assigned an AMRAP exercise, and the PAX in the middle acts as the timer and does 10 burpees. Once he’s done, rotate to the next station with the top of the circle coming into the center for his turn at burpees. We made three rotations. Outside exercises were: Sumo squats, Shoulder taps, High knees, Angle grinder, Daft Punk (Around the world lunges), and Crab Cakes.

Part 2: Next Man Up, Crop-duster style

One PAX calls a terrible exercise for the rest of the group then heads off. PAX that called the exercise then “bones the fish” side-shuffling along the parking space lines moving up the parking lot then mosey back.  Rotate and the next man up calls an exercise then leaves. There was revenge, cruelty, anticipation, and way too many burpees.

Mary: There was enough Mary in Part 2.

Announcements: FV 4 mi and bible study black ops on Wednesday, Tequila Sunrise on Saturday

T-Claps (Recognition): All the visitors to KG!

Prayer: Local family with losses in the family, Martini, Praise for Sprinkler and POTS’s kids graduating

The Workout:

Moseyed to the Bus Drop off. We split up into pairs and then a pair took one of the three islands.

Run in opposite directions around the island. When you met your partner do 7s counting down of Broke Back Shoulder Tap Merkins. Every time you meet you decreased the number. We went down to 1. Once that was wrapped up we did laps around the island. Partner A did bear crawls and Partner B did Lunge walks. When Partner A needed a break Partner B took over the bear crawls and Partner A did lunges. After one lap we switched to Gorilla Walks and Lunges.

Mosey to the wall for mobile balls to the wall. The pax waiting held their Squat Hold. As pax held balls to the wall and moved down the length of the wall.

Moseyed to the playground and split up in three groups. One group went with Emeril to the hill. One group with Flanigan to the play ground and the last group with me to the wall. The hill group was the timer. 5 trips up the hill running backwards. The folks against the wall held squat while lifting up one leg and switching. The playground group did pull ups. Once the 5 trips where completed group one went to the wall. Group 2 to the hill and group 3 to the playground. Repeat until all groups ran the hill.

Then we made our way up the stairs. We then found our original partners and wheelbarrow to the flag pole/stop sign.

Warm-Up: Good Mornings 15 IC, Side Straddle Hop 30 IC, 5 Burpees OYO, Fazio Arm Circles 10 IC forward & back, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps 15 IC

Workout: Split into 2 groups and Indian Run to Parking Garage and completed a lap around lower level. Split Group 1 & 2 on each side of parking spots. Each PAX was instructed to get on a white line. Started with 1 Merkin on white line and slide over to next space for 2, back to the left for 1, then back right for 3 until we reached 5.

Next was a bad idea Bearcrawl Burpee Indian Run. The Pax in rear had to pass everyone until they got to the front where they completed a Burpee. We did this until we ran out of real estate in parking lot.

Stayed in 2 groups, Group 1 ran the stairs to the top for 5 burpees while group 2 was doing AMRAP big boy sit ups. Repeated 3 times except changed top floor to Merkins and bottom floor to squats.

Then we got out of the stifling parking garage and went to the top floor.  Guantanamo’s 2 rounds and then we split up in groups again. Opposite ends of parking garage PAX was instructed to 30 IC Crab Jacks while the other PAX 30 IC Lunges. Moseyed and swapped ends. Repeated except not IC. Ikachu

Great mumble-chatter with all the PAX.  Got some grilling tips from Fonzie and shared some parenting advice with Cancun (I hope it was well-received). Stopped at Breach’s for coffee-teria. Thanks brother!  Just a beautiful morning with great fellowship.

Cackling and Clucking on the Yard

PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There are some PAX (POTS) that simply shut down the mumblechatter with burpees. YHC can typically deal with some mumblechatter during the warm ups or even Mary at some point…during the workout…nah. Those that were, according to POTS cackling and clucking (you know who you are) put in some reasonable work on the Yard this morning, so the guest Warden didn’t punish. Apparently, the pain stations equipped with many types of coupons were enough anyways…13 men…a record for Prison Yard…did the crimes and did the time at Hilltop Needmore Prison today.

All prisoners got to play with the toys multiple times.
Mary: Put the coupons away, followed by LSF x30 IC and LBC’s x30 IC.
Announcements: May Main Event…only two more days to sign up. Bed build info on Slack. Breach will Q a Travis Mannion workout Thursday at Tiger Blood.
T-Claps (Recognition): Lots of EC this morning…LED, Breach, FRAM, Nemo, Mookie, Deadbolt. Nemo’s first time on the Yard…looked like he’d done time before….good work!
Prayer: Shamwow! injury and hopes he or all injured PAX can get back after it! Motor Boatin’ a prayer of thanks for the accountability. Breach took us out including the moment of silence for our military and first responders on the front lines. Honored to lead this strong group this morning!
