THE THANG:
We will work together to accomplish a difficult task, which will be completing a high number of reps of various exercises, all together, as a PAX. As we complete the reps, we will cross off the markers to track progress. If we do not complete all reps with 5 minutes left, we end with 30 Deconstructed Burpees, otherwise, we will do Stargazers. I RECOMMEND GETTING IN LOOSE GROUPS OF 3-4. Tasks:
CMU Pile:
– 700 Curls (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 700/20 = 35 markers)
– 700 Overhead Presses (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 700/20 = 35 markers)
– 700 Rows (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 700/20 = 35 markers)
BABY CARDIAC:
– 30 Sprints up Baby Cardiac (Marker indicators 1 trip each, 30/1 = 30 markers)
SUICIDES:
– 30 Suicides (Marker indicators 1 suicides each, 30/1 = 30 markers)
CORE WORK:
– 700 LBCs (2-ct) (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 500/20 = 35 markers)
– 300 Big Boy Situps (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 300/20 = 15 markers)
– 300 American Hammers (2-ct) (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 300/20 = 15 markers)
PAVILION:
– 700 Jump or Step Ups (2-ct) (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 700/20 = 35 markers)
– 200 Decline Merkins (Marker indicators 10 reps each, 200/10 = 20 markers)
– 400 Bench Pullups (Marker indicators 20 reps each, 300/20 = 15 markers)

We actually got through TWO ROUNDs of this! Nice work!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Hot Toddy Quadruple Q (Quoddy Toddy) next Saturday!!
COT:
So I used this same Q on the evening of the January 6 riot at the Capitol in 2020 because I wanted to do something collaborative, where we work towards a common goal. And I’m doing it again today because we need more of that as a nation, because right now, guys, we are still a broken and lost community.

COOPERATION: I find that activities like what we did today, where guys of different perspectives on life collaborate and cooperate and work together, are very important these days. As the saying goes, Team Work Makes the Dream Work. I didn’t always get to do the exercise I wanted at several points in the workout, but my group did, or it needed to be done reach our goal. I’m sure the same goes for all of you. But there’s something satisfying and dare I say FUN in doing a task together and accomplishing something. If more HIMs around this country would embrace that mentality, I think we would be a much stronger nation.

ACCOUNTABILITY: The second concept that I think this workout exemplifies is accountability. If we didn’t reach our goal, we held ourselves accountable and did the punishment exercise. We talk about accountability a lot in F3, and I think that’s a real strength of this group. Whether it’s giving a shout out to a Brother who hasn’t posted in a while, or hasn’t Q’d recently (Thanks for the call-out, Crawdad!), or guys that participate in Shield Locks, or do a weight loss challenge, or whatever, we hold each other and ourselves accountable. Because without holding each other and our colleagues and fellow citizens accountable for their actions, it is much easier to slack off, break the rules, not make those hard decisions and take those difficult actions that help everyone, including yourself.

SO COOPERATION AND ACCOUNTABILITY. Those are the two concepts I wanted to focus on in the workout and my Word. Those are two things that I think are important to being a HIM and an effective Leader, and two things that are sadly lacking in today’s society.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Hot Toddy Triple Q next week

COT:

Brad Stulbeg:
Consistency is more important than intensity. If you win at consistency, you have a good chance of winning at everything else. Consistency means:

– Showing up on good days and bad days.
– Zooming out and playing the long game.
– Focusing on the process over outcomes.

James Clear:
If you want to maintain your sanity, reduce stress, and increase your odds of long-term success, then you need to plan for failure as well as focus on consistency. Research from Stanford professor Kelly McGonigal has shown that the number one reason why willpower fades and people fail to remain consistent with their habits and goals is that they don’t have plan for failure.

Planning to fail doesn’t mean that you expect to fail, but rather than you know what you will do and how you will get back on track when things don’t work out. If you’re focused on being perfect, then you’re caught in an all-or-nothing trap.
Meanwhile, if you realize that individual failures have little impact on your long-term success, then you can more easily rebound from failures and setbacks. Being consistent is not the same as being perfect.

Citius – Altius – Fortius – Comuniter

Stronger – Higher – Faster – Together

Steve Prefontaine was an Olympic runner from Oregon in the 70s and also the namesake of my dog.

He was a flat out runner that didn’t buy into strategy, or %, he was a flat out runner.

My fav quote from Pre, that I couldn’t remember is, “To give anything less than your best, is to sacrifice the gift”.

Hit me in the car.

Hope all of you men work to get Stronger – Higher – Faster – Together.

Good to be back

FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
WARMUP: one squat

THE THANG:

Four different stations after you partner up.
First patient one partner does an exercise while the other partner runs to the next station and runs back and switches with the other partner.
Do this three times and then go to the second station and run from the second station to the third station and so on and so forth

This is a classic ribbed workout, not much needs to be said. Except for the fact that because I did not have any instructions, it was like a bunch of wild horses, figuring out what to do and people were running around like chickens with their heads cut off.

MARY: stretching with ribbed
