Q1.0 Get Right
The Pursuit Of Proper Personal Alignment

“A man must Get Right before he can do anything else

To understand the Get Right, picture a man vigorously rowing a boat across a fast-moving stream. If it suddenly capsizes so that the keel is skyward, the man would have to right it—return it to its upright position—before he could continue rowing. Until he did that he could not make headway against the current and get his boat to the far bank. At best, he would be simply trying to survive, clinging to his capsized boat as it was pushed by the current to points unknown downstream.

Now apply this image to the life of a man. If he has become (or always was) un-Right, he cannot make headway in any aspect of his life. The fast moving current of his surrounding circumstances will sweep him yon while he clings desperately to the hull of his overturned boat. Worse, his Concentrica —the passengers that he is charged to bring safely to the far bank—will be right there in the water with him, helpless because their husband, father and boss can do little more than focus on his own survival. Before he can help them, or himself, he has to Right his boat.

An unfit man is a slave to his lack of self-control”

5 posted this morning at La Mesa for the last of a series of Cleveland Rocks beatdowns and the last workout of the year. It was in the 40’s with very clear sky. Pax was happy to hear we were not doing any upper body today after Saturday’s beatdown.

Disclaimer given.

20 Cherry Pickers IC, 20 SSH IC,
20 Imperial walkers, 20 Abe Vigodas IC,
100 Moroccan Night Clubs IC

The Thang:

Run to hill, run down & plank waiting for rest of PAX to show up.  First to 25 bobby hurleys. Run back up hill and plank again. Now first to 25 Monkey Humpers. It was a bit dark on the hill so we ran around La Mesa repeating the above with a few Last Man Sprints in the mix.

Count, Name, BOM.

too fast too furious

6 posted this morning at La Mesa. YHC put on the seat and wheel heat while headed to the AO. 41 degrees… East coasters must be laughing at us.

We jumped right into the workout. 5 burpees OYO and then 10 SSH IC…repeat with 4 burpees, 10 SSH…,3,2,1 etc.

Then we started to run. Stop and do Wheel of Merkins (YHCs new favorite) IC, then run some more. Stop for some copper head squats, IC. Now crab walk and stop for some mountain climbers. YHC found a new way to do the mountain climbers that works the core aggressively. We will do many more of those in the days to come as YHC has the next 3 Qs!

The pax completed most of that in about 13 minutes. So we had to fill up 30 more minutes. More running, some monkey humpers in front of the beautiful holiday decorations around La Mesa, more wheel of merkins… repeat.

Disclaimer was given at the start. Count, Name, BOM. Sharkbait shared how happy he was with the turnout on this cool Monday morning.

We will be having a post on Christmas at the beach. Are there any other AOs at a beach?

THE THANG

Kicking off Thanksgiving with a “TURKEYS” inspired workout. I wanted to use frozen turkeys as coupons…but Flea talked me out of it, something about salmenolla….

After grabbing our coupons.

AMRAP of “TURKEYS”

Thrusters x 15

Upright-Rows x 15

Rock-ee x 10

King of Heart suicides (run forward to the first cone, then backward run to the sideline, then fwd to the second cone, etc. rinse and repeat till an entire set of suicides was accomplished).

Yoke walk to opposing sideline and back

Star jacks x 10

. The mumblechatter was that everyone seemed to hate the Elf on the Shelf…I’ll have to come up with a different “E” exercise for the next holiday.

Caterpillar / Fuzzy Wuzzy Leg-o-rama

DISCLAIMER: Given

Warmup: 
SSH – 30 IC… I think I lost count and just kinda went with it!
Goofball – 25 IC
Mountain Man Poopers – 15 IC

THE THANG
We began with a Caterpillar routine: formed a line in the plank position. The last pax would box jump over the remaining pax. This continued in the same a la fashion of an Indian run.

Once on the other side of the soccer field, we returned back via “Fuzzy Wuzzy” this was a bear crawl Indian run routine back to the starting sideline.

Howling Monkey: this was a COP where all pax grapped their ankles, the first pax began 10 monkey humpers, as soon as he was finished the next pax began 10 monkey humpers, this continued around the circle for a total of three times!

Not to lose the soreness in our legs, we mosey’d to the bottom of the hill.

We performed a few rounds of Sun Gods.

Then 125 squats, OYO. Immediately once the pax was down with the air squats he mosey’d back up the hill to shovel flag.

We still had about 7 mins left, so we began a “7 mins of Mary”

LBC, plank jacks, atomic sit-ups, and gas pumps. After each exercise all pax would sprint to the opposing sideline and back to the starting sideline.
