THE CONDITIONS

Pre-dawn gloom, precious morning light, and a stack of angry-faced logs waiting at the fence line.

WARMARAMA

With heavy iron, sharp edges, and lumberjack work on the docket, the Q focused on getting the shoulders, back, core, and legs primed and warm:

  • Side Straddle Hops (SSH)
  • Merkins
  • Carolina Dry Docks
  • LBCs
  • Arm Circles (Forward & Reverse)
  • Raise the Roofs
  • Ukrainian Soldiers
  • Imperial Squat Walkers

THE THANG

Phase 1: The Dark Rotation (Dry Run Triple Check)

While the gloom was still thick, we divided into 3 Triples to master the rotation loop and get familiar with the station switches around the double basketball courts:

  • Station 1: Log Step-Ups
  • Station 2 (The Timer): Basketball Court Lap (Sprint around both courts)
  • Station 3: Ranger Resistance (Abs)

Phase 2: Introduce the Axes

As the light started to break, we brought in the steel:

  • Station 1: Wood Splitting at the Fence Line
  • Station 2: Basketball Court Lap (Timer)
  • Station 3: Freddie Mercuries (Abs)

Phase 3: Dual Log Splitting + Indigenous Court Movement

To burn out the last of the logs, we opened two splitting stations along the fence while the rest of the PAX executed an Indigenous PAX Run / Indian Run loop around the basketball courts:

  • Court Movement: The moving line cycled through Bear Crawls, Lunges, Alternate Lunges, Butt Kickers, and high knees.
  • Fence Line: 2 PAX actively splitting wood at the two log stations, rotating back into the moving court line as wood split.

MOLESKIN / COT

Solid, gritty effort from all 9 PAX this morning. Swinging axes in the gloom is no joke, but the PAX handled the safety protocols like pros, brought the noise, and left it all on the courts. The rotation on the court movement kept everyone on their toes! But No toes were lost in the performance of this workout.

Prayers for DK and his recurring back spasms. for the pax that aren’t out and we need to recruit and for the impact we’ll make today on some knotty issues in our lives. Keep on splitting those logs gents.

Bonus: Firewood was distributed and everyone went home with a fresh load for the hearth! Thanks for letting me lead, men.

AYE!
