    WARM-O-RAMA:

    THA-THANG:
    Today’s routine was about carrying our burdens. Rampart was introduced to slam balls aka DBalls. They ranged between 15# and 20#.
  • Cones were setup roughly 50 yards apart. Utilizing a three count, we executed a behind the back over the head throw for distance. Starting after the second throw of each round we collectively sprinted back to the starting line, then jogged back to our respective slam ball and awaited a three count to throw. We did this until we reached the final cones. After the last sprint and jog back to the balls, we executed a burden run by carrying our slam balls back to the start line. After a quick resting 10 count, we repeated the process with the following throws: Chest pass, alternating arm shot put, and everyone’s favorite Granny style.

We completed the WOD by executing one 4 minute round of Tabata Slam Balls.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The goal of the workout was to understand carrying our physical burden. At the beginning 15 pounds isn’t a lot, but as the routine moves on that weight gets heavier. As men, we’ve been trained to carry out on burdens. The Word tells us to come to Him all who are weary and He will give us rest, for His yoke is easy and His burden is light. Furthermore, the Word tells us to share in each other’s burdens. The challenge is to turn over our burdens and then identify how we can help others (spouse, coworkers, children, etc.) with their burden.

MOLESKIN:
Killer workout. Group stayed strong.
