Triple Nickel

This is a beat the clock exercise.  The workout is broken into 5 min sets.  Each rep is 1 min long.  During the rep you must complete 10 squats, 10 merkins, and 10 crunches.  If you finish within the minute you rest until the minute is elapsed.  The faster you complete the rep the more rest you get.  If you do not complete the rep in the allotted one min you immediately move on to the new rep.

After 5 reps, one running lap around the field.

Complete three, 5 min sets (5,5,5 or triple nickel).

Dealers choice

Words of wisdom:

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3: 5-6

Never take on impossible tasks alone.  Rely on your friends, break it into manageable pieces, and rely on God.  The workout today resulted in 150 squats, merkins, and crunches.  But it was not done in one shot, it was spread out to make it manageable.  We pushed each other through because that is what is expected of friends.  We finish with a prayer because we know God was helping us through.

Indian Sprints with KettleBell pass

Start at the base of a steep hill, we performed an Indian Run carrying a 15lbs KettleBell. Once the sprinter reached the front of the line, the KettleBell was passed to the back of the line until the last man began the sprint. Continued this for 10mins till we reached the “top o’ hill”.

Performed one round of “Deck o’ Beatdown”

Repeated the Indian Run passing the KettleBell, down and back up the hill.

Words of wisdom:

2 Corinthians 4:16-17 “Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For out light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all”

Words of Wisdom: Check out Q1.2 – The King and Q1.3 – The Queen. These are the daily discipline of physically training the body and the daily discipline over what is put in the body.

“You can’t out King your Queen.” – Dredd

It is impossible to train or maintain your body to your expectations by only having discipline over one and not the other.
