Armies

AO: Patriot

QIC: Citrus

PAX: Cable Guy, Jenner, Lazlo, Lucius, Maguire, MySpace, Piccolo, Spokes, Wedding Singer, YHC

WARMUP: SSH, Hillbillies, imperial walkers, WMH, windmills, cherry pickers, downward dog

THE THANG:
If results are the only thing that matter, then today went exactly as planned – all arms were smoked. If following a plan to perfection is what counts…well, YHC wasn’t perfect.

As designed, the PAX partnered up, and there were 10 stations:

• Coupon Shoulder Press
• Coupon Chest Press
• Coupon Curls
• Coupon Tricep Press
• Coupon Atlas Press
• Air Press
• Merkins
• Plank
• Dry docks
• Shoulder Taps

YHC had planned for two 10 minute AMRAPs with an intricate competition that involved counting cumulative reps, prizes, and penalties. Turns out that moving quickly between stations, having partners working at different speeds, and aggregating counts isn’t easy.

Instead, the PAX did the following as partners, hitting every station once:
5x 1 minute AMRAPs
Fellowship lap (400m)
5x 1 minute AMRAPs
Fellowship lap (400m)

YHC mixed up the partners, then:
5x 1 minute AMRAPs
Fellowship lap (400m)

MARY: Flutter kick, LBC, ring of fire side planks

COT: "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face". Even for the COT, adaptation is key. After reusing yesterday’s COT this morning, YHC realized he missed a golden opportunity to invoke the sage pugilist, Michael Gerard Tyson. When the plan got punched in the face this morning, it was time to modify the approach. Be prepared to roll with it, today and everyday. That doesn’t mean "abandon the goal" – it means, do the work and be prepared to change things up on the fly.
