Start with the End in Mind

AO:  The General

QIC: Lucius

THE PAX: Buggy, Toolbox, Traveler, Two Percent, Zebra (DR from Lexington KY – Welcome!)

THE WARM UP: SSH, Mosey, LBAC (fore & aft), Mosey, Don Quixotes, Mosey, Cherry Pickers (old-man speed), Mosey, Moroccan Night Clubs, Mosey, AMRAP pull-ups, Mosey

THE THANG:

Con-Bear-Or Belt: The PAX bear-crawled between exercise stations, spaced 10 yards apart, then performed an exercise at each exercise station.  Exercises included:

– Squat jumps;
– 4x4s;
– Atlas shrugs (cinder-block shoulder-to-shoulder)
– Cinder-block presses;
– Cinder-block curls;
– Cinder-block bent-over rows;
– Cinder-block pull-throughs;
– Lunges;
– Lion-king squat thrusts (with cinderblock); and
– Man-makers (22 lb pavers).

The PAX completed two conventional trips around the con-bear-or belt, for 200 yards of bear crawling and 20 sets of exercise.  Unsatiated, they enjoyed a third “lightening round” around the belt, running instead of crawling between stations.

Rest Exercise: When not bear crawling and lifting things, the PAX enjoyed some sandbag R&R. They moved a 50-lb sandbag pass across the field and back Ricky Bobby style via the following methods: lunge walk, step-and-squat, and clean-and-toss.

THE MARY:  Flutter kicks; unnamed awful things (bring knee to elbow while weeping; thanks Toolbox); spider plank taps (thanks Zebra).

THE COT:  Some recent reading reminded YHC of the importance of setting and broadcasting goals.  Starting with the end in mind is a mechanism for clarity.  It tells you what you intend to do, and helps you figure out how to get there.  What goals do you need to revisit?
