Challenged everyone to go for at least one more rep above what they think they could do during this workout. We are capable of more than we think. 

 

Tha-Thang

Mosey to the CMU Pile and grab one that we will work with throughout the beatdown

 

We set up around the parking lot for 3 rounds of each exercise with a run around the median in between. Exercises as follows:

3×20 walking lunges (After 20 walking lunges, leave cmu, run around the median back to where you left off.)

3×10 thrusters (Between each thruster take 2 steps) median run between each round

3×10 Big Boy Situps (Knuckles to ground behind your head, heel tap at the top) median run between each round

Some 10 counts were sprinkled in by various HIM’s

 

New dock work up next

While group 1 went through a plank variation the second group laid down on the ground next to the dock then got up and immediately got onto the dock. 3 rounds then tap a HIM doing a plank to let them know it is their turn. The below planks were completed in the three rounds: 

Standard Plank

Crab Plank

Freestyle plank

 

Grabbed our CMU’s and headed back toward the CMU pile

 

We circled up and complete 4 rounds of the following:

40 Rocky Balboas

10 CMU swings

 

We then moseyed back to the AO.

We had enough time for 1 minute of flutter kicks

“A society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”-Greek Proverb

I changed the quote a little since none of us are old. “A society grows great when wise men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in.”-Greek Proverb

Challenged everyone to break out of any self-centered loops we find ourselves in a begin to lay the groundwork for the next in line, even if we won’t reap the benefits of our labor.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Shared some Boomer (even though I am a Gen-Xer) insights on discipline around Health, Faith, Marriage, Singleness, Fatherhood, Career, Friendships, and Finances.  Read “Choose your hard” poem (stolen from Coolio).  Hebrews 12:11 “No discipline is enjoyable while it is happening – it’s painful! But afterward there will be a peaceful harvest of right living for those who are trained in this way.” NLT

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We thought about the Ultimate Avenge (not Thor).  Vengeance is mine says the Lord.  Which takes a bigger man – to get vengeance or to not seek vengeance?
MOLESKIN:
Always an honor to Q.  Always inspiring to workout with HIMs.  All will be excited to know that I’ve started time studies to make sure we get through the entire cycle (in the short time we have) at least once the next time I Q a Thor’s Day Heavy.  Because, wearing out every muscle group is half the FUN!!!
