If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.
Bruce Lee
YHC arrived at the VSF at 0525, and there were no eager men of F3 anywhere in sight. To be honest, YHC’s heart sank a bit, as this may be that day when it would be a PAX of one. Where were the regulars, like Surge and Kim Chi and JV? Through the gusts of wind, YHC saw cars approaching. One, then and another, and so on. There were 2 men, then 3, then 7 upon Triple Shift and Yo-Yo’s arrival! Tinkles visit to Okwata, along with the regulars showing up, gave YHC great joy. Hawgcycles arrival made 8, and it was time to go beyond our limits, it was 0530……
But first, the Disclaimer, and then….
The Thang
On your six!
WW2 Situps IC x 15 – these are the 2 per four count, but still count as 15. Breaking plateaus…..
Mosey to the fountain, knee highs as we mosey around it, followed by karaoke one way and the other.
Circle up on the grass on the lake side of the fountain for a warm up:
SSH IC x 31 – cause 31 is my thang
Hill Billy’s x 15 IC
Arm Circles x 10 front, x 10 back. YHC tried to hold back the excitement of what was to come next…but the hints began to drop….
How about we all go to the bar, maybe for a drink? No, we’re men of F3! We’ll have a double!
Jack Webb Ordered a Double at the Barre!
All together…
1 merkin, followed by a seat against the bar at the fountain for double air presses, aka double shots
2 x merkin…..4 shots at the bar
3 x merkin…..6 shots at the bar
4 x merkin…..8 shots at the bar
5 x merkin…..10 shots at the bar
6 x merkin…..12 shots at the bar
7 x merkin…..14 shots at the bar
8 x merkin…..16 shots at the bar
9 x merkin…..18 shots at the bar
10 x merkin….20 shots at the bar
Why did YHC type all of them? Because YHC really likes that one. It is a true downPAINment on our journey to break limits!
10 x WW2 Situps IC
Is that a mountain? It’s a levee, but close enough!
Burp Back Mountain! Partner up!
One PAX does quadraphilia up the mountain, and runs back down, always facing the lake x 3.
Other PAX does Burpees AMRAP, with the goal of 100 cumulative.
Once your team finishes, continue the quadraphilia run up and down the mountain until all PAX is complete.
10 x WW2 Situps IC
Mosey to the House of Pain!
4 stations:
Pull ups AMRAP
Step Ups AMRAP
Dips x 20 (timer)
Jump Squats AMRAP
Rinse and Repeat x 3 rounds
10 WW2 Situps IC
Back to the levee, for more mountain fun!
Run to the top of the levee and do 1 burpee, and run down to the other side
Run back up to the top, do 2 burpees, and run to the other side
Run back up to the top, do 3 burpees, and run to the other side
Run back up to the top, do 4 burpees, and run to the other side
Run back up to the top, do 5 burpees, and run to the other side
Burpees are a great way to test one’s limits, and it’s even a better test when one throws in a levee.
Back to the VSF
10 WW2 Situps IC
Just enough time left for Mary
Flutter Kicks IC x 15
Hello Dolly IC x 15
Real Freddie Mercury’s IC x 15
Tin Snips x 15
Dying Cockroach IC (sort of) x 15
Count off, Name-o-rama, announcement, intentions, and a prayer to the Sky Q for the intentions, and to help us to have an impact upon those needing support this day.
Okwata never fails to be a challenge, and it’s a great AO to test one’s limits. If any PAX feels a plateau in their life, YHC recommends a post to Okwata to push the limits, and break through that plateau!
I was honored to lead today!
Moleskin
