A Pirate’s Life – 5 Years in the Gloom

/in /by

Five years ago YHC stumbled into Mutiny not knowing what he was getting into. This Sunday (6/21) marked the anniversary, and it felt right to honor it by taking a look back.

Today’s beatdown was not written by YHC. It was written by Dauber in February 2020, built in honor of POTS — Mutiny’s former resident pirate and the AO’s spiritual patron as Dauber described. YHC ran it as close to the original as the morning would allow.

Warm-Up

Circle up in the half circle:

  • 25 SSH

  • 10 Don Quixotes

  • 10 Daisy Pickers

  • 10 Sir Fazio (forward and reverse)

  • 10 Seal Claps

  • 10 Overhead Claps

The Thang

Part 1 — KB Circuit (Dauber’s Rock Circuit, adapted)

First lesson of the morning: Mutiny’s rock supply has seen better days. KBs stepped in for rocks — Dauber would understand.

PAX grabbed a KB and lined up on the pavement. 10 exercises, 20 count or 10 IC:

  1. Curls for the Girls

  2. Rut-rows (bent-over rows)

  3. Overhead press

  4. Tris for the guys

  5. Toe taps

  6. Bus drivers

  7. SIMBAs

  8. Goblet squats

  9. Plank hold slap KB

  10. Ground pounders

Between each exercise: drop KB, back pedal about 80yds, 5 merkins, return. Repeat for all 10.

Part 2 — KB Core

On the pavement. KB held above chest throughout.

  • 20cc 6-inch leg hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 45-degree legs + 20cc hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 90-degree legs + 20cc hold

  • 10 chest presses

  • 6-inch legs, hold to failure

Banana Seat unsurprisingly went the longest before failure.

Transition

Skipped — the clock had other plans.

Wall Work

Mosey to the wall.

  • ~50cc Balls to Wall

  • ~50cc People’s Chair

Mary

On the tennis courts.

  • Pickle pounders

  • Homer to Marge

  • WW2 sit-ups

  • Peter Parkers

Prayer

Lifted up the kids heading out to summer camps this week and all summer — for safety and good memories. Prayed for strength to finish the week strong. Prayed for the leaders of F3 Southwake.

Closing Remarks

Grateful for 5 years of accountability in the gloom. Grateful for men who were doing this long before YHC showed up, and for men who keep showing up now. Winnebago — welcome back! These mornings are better with you in them.

An honor leading you men.

— Abacus the OG

Working on the Standard

/in /by

FNGs:

None

Warm Up:

Standard Warmup, including the Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals, and the 15 Penalty Burpees associated with the failure to know when called upon.

The Workout:

26 PAX this morning for a crisp April morning game of UFO.  We apparently still need to update the website to ensure the start time is updated to 0515 because we had 6 – 8 of the 26 show up after 5:15, I’m pretty sure they still owe ~15 burpees because they missed the warmup, haha.  Great work to all the HIMs that showed up, it is always great to get out and get our weeks started out right.

Mary:

Cleanup of the field

Announcements:

@finkle stepping up to take over the Nest, the mission is to Plant, Grow, and Serve.  For anyone who is part of the Grow, but not yet taken up the Serve, think about what you can do to take the next step.  Without it, the “Plant” will die.

T-Claps (Recognition):

Good Work to those that stuck around to complete the #corechallenge Day 6.

Prayer:

Fox Family, Struggling PAX both Monetarily, Family, Faith, and Health.  Our leaders and soldiers on the frontline
