YHC will not be able to participate in this year’s Spartan CLT due to work schedule, so YHC brought a mini-Spartan to FDH (F3 DawgHouse).

Warmorama:

SSHs

Windmills

Arm circles

Michael Phelps

One of the featured obstacles of every Spartan is the Spear Throw.  So of course Spartan FDH will have a Spear throw with penalties.  Each pax gets a chance to throw the spear.  Squats are done by all while someone is throwing.  A kill shot means all pax only has to do 10 reps of penalty exercises.  A miss with the spear means all pax has to do 20 reps of penalty exercises, which were:

Merkins – total of 200.  My arms were jelly and still are as I type this.

LBCs – total of 180

Lunges – I lost count

Another Spartan favorite is the barbed-wire crawl.  We don’t have any barbed-wire, but at Spartan FDH, we can Bear Crawl, so everyone Bear Crawl to the next event! (In case your shoulders weren’t burning enough yet)

Would a Spartan be a Spartan without carrying heavy things?  Next up, Bucket brigade!

Partner up, Partner 1 carries the bucket with 50 pounds of sand across the parking lot (uphill), does 10 squats with the bucket, and then carries it back, while Partner 2 does the exercise:

SSHs

Apollo Onos

Mountain Climbers

Put the buckets away and run a lap back to the spear throw for Spear Throws With Mary.  The thrower calls out a Mary exercise before throwing.  A kill gets the pax 10 reps of the exercise, while a miss gets the pax 20 reps.  The ones I remember were:

Pretzel crunches

LBCs

RBCs

Low Dollie

Abs with Habs (but where’s Habs?)

Plank

Announcements:

Dawghouse anniversary next Friday

Torch is raising money to fight kid cancer

Prayer requests:

4-Wide’s coworker

Loveboat’s friend taking board exams

Tugboat and Ticonderoga’s job situation

Guys, jump in and sign up to Q.  Its a great way to make yourself better and make others around you better.
