Tuesday morning smoke session

AO: Firehouse

When: 08/30/2022

QIC: Sirmixalot

PAX (7): Ace Ventura, LifeLock VPN, Lightweight, Schneider, Sirmixalot, Suarez, Zuckerburg/Snorlax

Preamble:

YHC wanted to create a simple but brutal workout to challenge the PAX. As it turned out this was quite effective. We do have a couple of PAX recovering from illness so I am sure this was harder for them than it normally would have been.

Warm-O-Rama:

Moseyed around to the spot.

SSH, Sun Gods, Moon Gods, Good mornings, and Weed Pickers.

Moseyed back to the top of the hill.

The Thang:

Each PAX selected a sandbag and we proceeded to do 21s – Stating with 1 rep of each exercise and increasing by one each round. – After performing all reps for each round PAX moseyed down to the next light pole and back. We did not do this as a ROUTE 21 where you move. Instead we came back to where the sandbags were.

Exercises –

1. Merkin

2. Push Press (essentially deadlift the bag and flip up into clean position peform a squat and then an overhead press. Only deadlift on the first rep – then repeat to complete all reps) Example can be found at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1W9w0KPfdCw&ab_channel=ClubhausFitness – just make the squat portion deeper.

3. V-up holding sandbag

Start with one rep each, run to light pole – come back and do 2 reps each, then 3 and so on until 21.

YHC had more planned but this took the entire time. I don’t think anyone made it past the 18 reps round.

Will definitely revisit this one in the future.

 

COT:

I shared a couple of thoughts from the book The Obstacle Is The Way that I am currently reading.

We had a discussion about NLB workout coming up later this month.

Moment of silence

Several prayer requests were mentioned.

Prayers

We were sans coffee today so no coffeteria.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

As always, it’s an honor to lead.
