A Veteran’s Day Military Beatdown

11 Nov 2019

Q : Flea

DISCLAIMER: Given

Warmup:

4 PAX showed up today for a VERY foggy beatdown.

Weed Pickers – 20 IC
SSH – 50 IC
Hill Billies – 20 IC
Morrocan Night clubs – 25 IC

MODIFIED 21 GUNS

Exercises below were performed AMRAP for time. We ended up getting through it about 4X. PAX could complete the exercises in any order of their choice., but there were 5 exercises, representing the 5 branches of the military.

1 Lap around the field
21 Merkins
21 Step-Ups (each leg)
21 Burpees
21 WWII Sit-ups
21 Squats

After the first set was complete and we started the 2nd set. I asked all PAX to think of a Veteran in your life and how they’ve impacted the man you’ve become. During the 3rd set, PAX were asked to think of the days a veteran had impacted their own faith journey, whatever their beliefs may be. Finally, during the last set, PAX were asked to think about a time they pushed themselves further than they thought possible because of a veteran.

Ended with Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, COT, followed by Coffeteria.

A couple of events coming up. Expect an e-mail soon and think about a holiday Q if you can!

Veterans Day has been observed since 1954 by the U.S. and its origins date back to Armistice Day 1918, which marked the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front in WWI. Veterans Day preserves the historical significance of the 11/11/1918, but also focuses attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.

SSH – 35 IC

THE THANG

Since all of the pax that posted today were not at Saturday’s workout, I figured I’d give a taste of sprints!

-Doracides – We began with a partnered suicide run, as one pax would begin a [partnered] set of 100 Merkins, 200 LBC, and 300 Squats. As the pax finished his suicide run, he would pick up the count.

– Bear Crawl Ring of Fire – Combines exercises we have all come to love/hate! We formed a bear crawl circle around the shovel flag. Moving in a clockwise direction we began to bear crawling in a circle. When Q called the first Pax completed 10 merkins while other Pax plank; then next pax in line completed 10 merkins while other pax plank. Once all the pax had completed the merkins we began bear crawling again. Rinse and repeat for 3 rounds!!!!

-Black Jack – From Exicon – Circuit  Start on the sideline of the soccer field. Perform 1 Merkin – run to other sideline – perform 20 LBCs. Run back and do 2 Merkins. Run back for 19 LBCs. Repeat until you do 20 Merkins and 1 LBC, running between the sidelines. Always adds up to 21 We didn’t quite make it through the entire BLACK JACK! Q called it at 6:42 am.

– 3 Minutes of Mary!!!
-LBC x 20 IC
-Rosilitas x 15
-Leg raise x 10
-Plank Jacks x 15
