CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
No chains on me.

I listen to Christian rap music and I love it!  Lecrae, Trip Lee, Tadisha, NF, etc.  One artist has a line in his song that says “Because of Him, I’m so free I got no chains on me.”  Look at the chain we carried around it has two hooks, one end is attached to you and the other is attached to the sin, troubles and hardships we face on a daily basis.  Each link is a struggle, challenge, guilt, and we are carrying them with us.  When we have life in Jesus, he breaks our chains.  He saves us.  He cuts the anchor dragging us down and causes us to live with Him in love.

Some of you here may not know Him, may not be saved, or may not be walking with Him.  Talk to me, or one of the other men here about that.  And if you are saved you need to be out in the streets spreading the message of our Chainbreaker.

6 exercises to improve mental toughness:
1. Get rid of extrinsic motivators – no music, no training partner. Suffer in silence alone
2. Develop good habits – Mentally tough people are more consistent than you. They create habits and relentlessly stick to them
3. Learn to ignore things you cannot control – Stoicism is the ability to endure pain and hardship without display of fellings and without complaint
4. Ruck – put a heavy pack on and go walk for hours.
5. Farmer carry – pick up some heavy shit and go for a mile walk.
6. Hang – grab and pullup bar, a tree branch or some playground equipment and start a timer. Work up to 60 seconds.

SSH x 20  with increasing speed

THA-THANG:
8 stations set up in front of the outhouse.  2 minutes at each station then rotate to the next.  The jump rope station was in the middle so, naturally, we used that as the catalyst to “encourage” (pronounced: make fun of) the person jumping rope!  All this while Lynyrd Skynyrd played blissfully in the background….good times.

  1. Curls (30, 25, 20 dumbbells)
  2. Squats (60 sandbag)
  3. Calf Raises (40 sandbag)

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about yesterday’s TN House vote on the governor’s school voucher program and the impact it’s having on Rep. Zachary.   Used this scenario as a reminder to the PAX of the importance of the decisions we make and the impact they have on our surroundings.

MOLESKIN:
Shooter and Wagon Wheel somehow managed to break 2 jump ropes today…clearly millennials struggle in this area.  Shooter eventually resorted to air jumping, with fancy tricks!
