JUCO Jailbreak Tour

We renamed “The Juco Deck of pain” to the JUCO Jailbreak Tour because I like it better and it’s more of just the campus tour when we take out the two big hills (Mount Jucante and Jucomanjaro).  The full Jailbreak tour card set is here:

  1. 5 Rec Center Stair assents with the CMU  (right next to the CMU pile)
  2. 30 Railing Pull-ups (at the pull up stations )
  3. 50 CMU Curls (at the CMU Pile )
  4. 30 Lake Lunges (single count lunges at the lake)
  5. 30 Panther (top of Sophmore hill) Pickle Pounders
  6. Burpee Base Run ( 1 burpee per base on baseball diamond)
  7. 5 Stadium Hill Runs (on Success way)
  8. 30 Guard Rail Derkins (behind Maple Street)
  9. 3 Reverse Bear Crawl loop in front of ERC Building.
  10. Alternating Side straddles in Parking Lot 05 (go one full lot length – alternate on each row of stalls)
  11. Bernie two lengths of the Welcome Way Parking Lot (the biggest lot on campus).
  12. 40 CMU Push Presses (by CMU pile)
  13. Art Center Burpee Broad Jumps (2 lengths)
  14. 30 Brick Dips (@ low brick wall)
  15. 2 Career Path – Bear Crawl Loops (modified to be by front neon sign)
  16. 10 Maintenance Hand Stand push ups

We start out by randomly selecting a HIM to draw a card from the deck.  On the back of the card is written a location and an exercise.  We immediately do an all out sprint (Jailbreak) to that location and do the exercise.  Somebody then calls out a 30second count before the next person draws another card from the deck and we take off running.

Today our lucky winners chose #10, #8, #9, #11, #15, #16, and #1.

MARY:

Did Freddy Mercuries to the ACDC song Jailbreak. Each time they sang Jailbreak we did a Big Boy Situp.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM: 

Emmanuel is His name.  He is with you! God is with us.  Live it, know it, believe it, and act on it.  In these hard times: ask Him questions. Talk to Him. Wait for Him. Trust Him. Have a close relationship with Him. He invites us to. He takes pleasure in helping, listening, challenging, teaching you.  You are his beloved child.  Every step, every second.  Remember that now and always.

Tree biscuit – The Project

THE SCENE: 56 degrees and drizzling wet.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER : Ya’ll are crazy.. but very welcome here.

WARM-O-RAMA:

  • SSH (20 normal , 10 Double time)
  • 15 Windmills
  • 15 Mtn Climbers
  • High Knees  + Double time

THA-THANG: The Tree Biscuit

As a group, Run to an un-slapped tree, slap it, everyone call out the running burpee total,  do A single burpee, repeat.

Minutiae:

  • Scaling:
    • We travel as a pack, if you find yourself falling behind, skip a tree and burpee and keep moseying to catch up.  It’s more fun and less confusing to have the group stay together, especially when we alternate taggers.
    • Scaling is NOT cheating, it’s just scaling, no judgment here. You made it here and that’s enough.
    • We’re going to be zig-zagging all over the park so the better we can stay together the more we’ll be able to keep an accurate count and not leave people behind.  Plus it feels bad to tag a tree without everyone there doing it together.
  • Taggers + Number cadence
    • The tagger is the person closest to the nearest tree. They slap the tree and call out what the burpee running total is about to be. Similar to our cadence exercise routines, the whole group calls out the number and does a burpee.
    • The tagger is typically in the front of the pack, however since we are traveling in a mob fashion that’s not always true.
    • Similar to an indian run, each person should take turns being in front and tagging a tree. This makes the workout much more fun.  If you have already tagged several trees then just slowly fade back and let someone else tag the next one.
  • What’s a Tree:
    • We don’t do burpees for any old shrub. They have to be worthy. Trees should be about 6 inches around and 10 feet tall.
  • No Poison Ivy:
    • In an attempt to not to get too dirty and get poison ivy, we’ll pass trees that are surrounded by shrubs and tall grass. Luckily we are in a very well manicured park where most of the trees have nicely mowed grass leading up to them.
  • Terrain
    • We are going off road for sure.  The ground is very un-even around many of the trees. Be careful when running not to twist and ankle.  And don’t hit your face on a rock or root when doing a burpee in the dirt.
  • Volume
      • The louder you call out the number, the more you inspire your fellow brothers!
  • Milestones
    • At 50, 100, 150, 200 make sure the group catches up and circles around the tree, wait a few seconds. Do the burpee.  Celebrating these milestones adds to the encouragement factor.

It’s not about the numbers but in the spirit of healthy competition here they are:

Previous Tree biscuits from other AO’s

And Todays total

  • The Project 210 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MARY:

We burped until the clock ran out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Dueteronomy 17:7 “You must purge the evil from among you.”   Take this to heart men.  Purge the evil that lurks in you.  Bad habbits gotta go..  Swearing has to go.  Don’t be drunk.   Be kind not harsh.  Serve & support – don’t drain, dominate or trample.  Love – don’t fight, or fear. Surrender your ego and pride.  Lean on Jesus who is with us.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

“We need not reinvent what a man is, but only rediscover him. How? By forsaking the uncertain sounds of society and hearkening to the war drum of Scripture. God calls us to fellowship with giants — or those who slayed them — great men who have run the race before us and offer their strengths, weaknesses, and sins to instruct us on how to walk before God this side of heaven.” —  Greg Morse.

“Through You we will push back our adversaries; Through Your name we will trample down those who rise up against us. For I will not trust in my bow, Nor will my sword save me. But You have saved us from our adversaries, And You have put to shame those who hate us. In God we have boasted all day long, And we will give thanks to Your name forever. Selah.”

Psalms 44:5-8 NASB
