  • Filling the Void – from Mahatma

  • Block City – from Mahatma

    Beautiful Morning in Metry
    YHC arrived 5 minutes early and decided to review an article and got side tracked, looking up it had just turned 5:30. With haste YHC jumped out the truck, grabbed 2 blocks from the back and headed to the cage. The Knots crew was already peeling off, and 6 pax awaited…..after a quick disclaimer (while tying shoes) we headed to the field.

    Warm Up variation of count:
    Windmills
    Good Morning Stretch
    Burpees
    SSH
    Mnt Climbers
    Peter Parker Peter

    Head to bleachers – Merkin climb up X 2 then transition to bleacher snake run 3 burpees at the gym end then work our way back 3 burpees on the other.

    Push up ladder with block crucible to finish, rinse and repeat

    Bear Crawl at 5 yard increments from goal line to the 50, then 25 merkins
    Mosey to the other end of the field – then mosey from goal line to the 30 – perform 10 Carolina Drydocks – bearcrawl to the other 30 – 10 more Carolina Drydocks sprint to the goaline.

    Somewhere we did Indian Runs with reverse block pass.

    A little Mary mixed in. Back to the cage with 2 minutes unused – we filled it with 5 Burpees and some gas pumpers

    COT – Be a Good Samaritan

  • Shmedium Rocks in the Field – from Mayhem

    YHC grabbed the Q ten hours before game time.

  • Running with Friends. – from Charmin

    KnOTer’s aside, it seemed as if most of the Pax today ran with someone at some point. Goes to show that we all cross each others paths at some point.

    COT involved praying for those who are suffering and going through tribulations.

  • Descend the Ladder con Roca – from Bolt

    Warmorama of the usual; Vagabond erroneously thought Kenna Brah had the Q and I’m sure regretted showing up for another of my musically schizophrenic playlists.
    The Thang: Descending Ladder with a rock (10 reps/exercise down to 9, 8, etc. reps/exercise): Squat (coupon), OH press, Curls, chest press, tricep press.
    Begin at first tree along side the parking lot facing the gym (it was here that Mahatma took off to second tree to do exercise one—not the directions!), Carry rock to second tree for second exercise where we all paid five burpee penalty for the transgression.

    At fifth tree plank on the six, turnaround and head back the opposite way with one less rep/exercise finishing at starting point. Rinse/repeat until we’ve descended the ladder.

    It was prior to starting round six that I introduced the skip exercise rule: call out, “skip” and roll Deca die of pain for our fate that replaces the skipped exercise, advance to next tree and resume the ladder. Mr. Rogers went first, followed by several others; we did ultimately finish the ladder in time to return rocks and circle up at the flag for Rochamburpee until time: winner does five merkins, loser does three burpees.

    Honored to lead and totally spent; this one sucked. COT.

  • Never Forget – from Bolt

    22 years ago the USA was changed forever by an attack like no other; today we remember that day, honor those who died, offer reverence, and ponder the years in between as well as those ahead of us.

    Warmorma of the normal stuff to everyone’s beloved lead off song.
