Circle of Suck

First off, thank you to the Pax who chose to embrace The Suck today. It was 30 degrees with a 10mph North wind, so it felt like 22. Whether you’re a native Sandlapper or a northern transplant whose blood has gotten thin, today was about as shitty as it gets for us here on the coast. Thanks for supporting me and each other.

Warm up- 15 Tempo Squat, 25 SSHs, 10 windmills, 15 merkins, 15 LBAC F/R

Today’s beatdown was designed to be HIIT with a hard circuit followed by 30-90 seconds of rest, but I forgot to mention that part about the hard push and the rest. So everyone motored through without much rest. There were 7 stations, each of which had 3 exercises. Pax did the 1st exercise on each cone in circuit 1, 2nd exercise on circuit 2, 3rd on #3, then Pax choice for what they did on circuit 4.

STATION 1- 20 MERKINS, 15 WINDMILL MERKINS, 20 ONE LEG MERKINS

STATION 2- BEAR CRAWL TO NEXT CONE, 10 BBSU, 20 PLANK JACKS

STATION 3- LUNGE TO NEXT CONE, 15 MONKEY HUMPERS, 30 FLUTTERS 1-COUNT

STATION 4- TOY SOLDIER TO NEXT CONE, CRAWL BEAR TO NEXT CONE, 30 MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS 1-COUNT

STATION 5- 15 CAROLINA DRY DOCKS, 10 BURPEES, 20 OUTLAWS

STATION 6- 20 CURL + 20 OH PRESS, 20 1-ARM ROW EACH ARM, 20 BUS DRIVERS

STATION 7- 10 CRAB HOPS (SQUAT, JUMP ON CURB, SQUAT AGAIN, JUMP BACK = 1 REP)

 

The usual suspects were at the front and after their 4th circuit picked up the 6 for a 5th circuit or half of one.

Blocks back to pile, but had a few mins so added 15 curls followed by 20 count static hold, 15 tricep extensions, 15 block squats

Circle up for Mary- 15 Penguins IC, 20 Freddie Mercurys (O’Douls), 20 pretzel crunches (Flop)

Announcements- Freed to Bleed next weekend the 4th; Shield Lock starts next week; Catapult Anniversary and AOQ handoff coming in Feb.

Prayers: asked for wisdom and guidance for Rebecca, CD’s M, that her upcoming choice of career path is the right choice and the right path for their family. Thanked God for the lesson in humility for Pikachu’s 2.0 Skyler as she navigates her driving test (again). Basically God, please guide her to not do this:

Asked for comfort and understanding for Melissa and the whole Carroll/Metzger family as they continue to navigate the loss of their Beloved Bill.

Have a great rest of the week everyone.
