“QUARANTINE DAY FORTY SEVEN”

RONIN DAY 10
Kusunoki Masashige
Masashige began as a small time land owner who answered emperor Go-Daigo’s request for military assistance during the Nanbokucho Wars. Starting as a small-time leader with only five hundred men to his credit, Masashige rose through the ranks serving as a general loyal to the emperor Go-Daigo during the Nanbokucho Wars. Masashige is most famous for his undying devotion to his emperor that persisted even through the emperor’s exile and up until his death at the hands of fellow samurai, and traitor, Ashikaga Takauji. Leading up to the battle with Takauji, Kusunoki pleaded with his emperor to refrain from a direct battle with him, opting instead for the guerrilla-based tactics that had served them well to that point. Go-Daigo dismissed his Kusunoku’s concerns, and despite his knowledge that the emperor’s orders were basically a death sentence, Kusunoki marched onward to face Takauji where he suffered a massive defeat and was forced to commit seppuku.Following his death, Masashige was seen as the forerunner for a samurai’s undying loyalty. Upon the removal of the Tokugawa shogunate during the Meiji Restoration in the mid-19th century Kusunoki Masashige become a national symbol of loyalty, and his image was again used in World War II in propaganda posters to keep soldiers loyal to the emperor.

“MAGISTERIUM”
5 rounds not for time:
30 double unders
15 squats
15 push ups
15sec handstand hold

Note: The Magisterium program is meant to be done at home. We started this program while still in quarantine with no date as to when the gym would reopen. It is a good program that everyone can do at home with minimal equipment. The goal of this program is to develop skills and work capacity in certain areas. Mastery of double unders and handstand while building stamina and capacity for running, pull ups, push ups and squat volume. All this will lead us to one of the most well known workout, “MURPH” later in July. “MURPH” is 1mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups and 300 squats then run 1mile again. All this while wearing a weight vest. Partition all the reps as needed. This workout requires preparation and that exactly what we’re doing. But there are no shortcuts, hard work, commitment and consistency is key. Let’s go!!!

“RISE ABOVE THE STORM AND YOU WILL FIND THE SUNSHINE”

“MAGISTERIUM”
3 rounds not for time:
50 double unders
15 squats
10 push ups
5 bent over rows

Note: Good warm up for today’s workout

“RANDY”

For time:

75 power snatch 75/55

Rest 5min

75 toes to bar

*Every time you break, perform 10 push ups (this is only for the toes to bar, not for RANDY)

Randy Simmons, 51, a 27 year LAPD veteran and SWAT team member was killed February 7 in the line of duty. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Officer Simmons’ wife and two children.

“RANDY” being a benchmark on it’s own, it should be your focus for today’s workout. Don’t hold anything back for this hero workout. Rest 5min then perform 75 toes to bar, knee raises or situps. Basically, today’s workout is 2 separates scores, RANDY on its own and total time.

Time intent: 5 to 10min for Randy and 5 to 10min for the toes to bar. Total time for both, approximately 15 to 20min

Strength

Front squats
5-5-5-5-5

Note: No METCON today. Just some pure lifting. Front squats are from the ground so you’ll need to either power clean or squat clean the barbell first. If you squat clean, it counts as your first front squat. Rest as needed between sets but aim for approximately 2 to 3min max. Perform a few warm up sets and start your first set around 50% of your max. Let’s have fun, enjoy each other’s company and hangout. It’s important to understand the value of “heavy” days on their own. We don’t need to do high intensity every day. The nervous system needs a break from those more than you think. Besides, most of us need to ease back into lifting. After all, we’ve been away from the gym for 3 months.
