Keep the Mettle off the ground
All Comanche BackblastsSeptember 21st, 2020
During YHC’s preparation for today’s beatdown, 3 options were given to the PAX on Slack. @snowsuit was the first and only one to chime in and suggested the KB Never Touch the Ground beatdown over Doomsday Clock or Fear the Mettle Spear Beatdown. The weather was very Fall like at 48F plus we could clearly see Venus, the moon, and a bunch of wild rabbits running around. We also had 2 guests from Comanche in @Buckwheat and @vulture. A full disclaimer was given and we then circled up for Warmarama which at that time @no_name arrived in his SUV instead of his bike. I am assuming it is a little awkward to carry a KB on a bicycle.
WARMARAMA
- Mummy IC x19
- Skiers IC x15
- Prisoner Squats IC x13
- Weed Picker IC x10
- Plank-A-Rena IC X5
THE THANG: A Walk Across Parking lot( ̴ 50 feet) – 15 reps x 2 rounds
On one side of the parking lot, the PAX line up and do 15 reps of the exercises on the left side. We then walk across the parking describe in the middle of the exercises below and perform the exercises on the right on the other side of the parking lot. The KB lunges across the parking lot of killers!
- Curls Walk holding KB overhead Skull Crushers
- Squat Thrusters Farmer walk KB Chest Press
- Lawnmowers(2=1) KB Lunge walk (Ouch) Upright Rows
- KB Swings Walk holding KB at Chest Sumo Squats
- KB Shoulder Press Walk holding KB overhead KB Dips
DOOMSDAY CLOCK
PAX circle up and count rep one at a time like count-o-rama. First PAX says one and does one curl for example, then the next pax calls 2 and does his curl and we continue until we collectively get to 50. The other PAX hold the position until it is their turn to count (position listed on the right side)
- Curls x 50 – Holding position is at the top
- Squat Thrusters x 50 – Holding position is in low squat
- Skull Crushers x 50 – Holding position is overhead
- KB Swings x 50 – Holding position is with KB resting close to the ground
- Shoulder Press x 50 – Holding position is overhead
MARRY
- Poutine Low Flutters with KB X15
- Scissors with KB X10
- W with KB X10
- Stretches
COT/BOM
- Great to have @buckwheat and @vulture join us this morning. YHC is extremely impress with a 12 year old who gets up at 5:00 am to exercise with grown men. Also love his competitiveness.
- Thankful that @snowsuit is recovered from his injury. Beatdowns are much better with his presence.
- Glad to see that both @no_name and @surf n turn are posting quite a bit. They are both great additions to our AO and F3.
- Starting next Monday, Mettle will move back to the Highland Creek Sportsclub.
- YHC is still trying to get approval to move back Tuesday to Friday beatdowns to Highland Creek Elementary (HCE). But after an email and speaking to front office, YHC left detailed message to Admin Assistant but haven’t heard back. Hoping we can make a return to HCE in October. FiA has moved their beatdowns been back to HCE on Mondays but haven’t asked permission. I guess easier to get forgiveness than permission.
- YHC is travelling starting tomorrow morning early and will be out until Thursday. A little nervous about air travel, but will take all covid precaution and pray for the best. With that in mind, YHC will not be back to our AOs until next week, again as extra precaution and consideration for our PAX.
- Have a great week gentlemen! I was great leading this morning.
