Introduction
Planned to spend some time getting to know our coupons…an early morning rendezvous? Body was feeling a little beat down so was going to pivot to accommodate for how I was feeling though I quickly realized we don’t Q for ourselves, we Q for those that will be in attendance. So back to the original plan
Warm-O-Rama

Abe Vigodas
Arm Circles
Michael Phelps
Imperial Walkers

The Thang
THANG1
The first THANG was completed as a group. Reps on Q’s up. Took short breaks as I saw some PAX starting to fall off. Runs were OYO but once completed were instructed to join the 6
40 Thrusters
800mish Run
30 Thrusters
400mish Run
20 Thruster
200mish Run
THANG 2
Initially this was going to be a OYO but I find it’s harder for guys to hide or better yet not give all when we do as a group. So these were peer led.
20 Burpees (EH’d Fish Tape to lead the group on his down, rest as needed)
200mish Run
30 HRM (on Q up)
400mish Run
40 Sumo Squats (on Q Down)
800mish Run
THANG3
Finished off with some OHP on Q’s up before rotating to Mary
Mary was a YouTube inspired (ripped people from South Africa) mix of core exercises. Felt like a good mixup of exercises we don’t do
Circle of Trust
HODL excelled at SQ duties and my COT was inspected by some recent COTs I heard as well as conversations I’ve had with some of you Men. Focus was on time and how we know it’s undefeated. We can’t stop it but we can in a way overcome it through action. If you’ve been postponing something because you’ll do it tomorrow, next week, next year, etc. well if it’s important to you well we can overcome time by doing it now. Take action.. That opportunity to do it later may not be there in the future. We are not promised tomorrow ….so go see that person you haven’t seen in awhile, go take that trip you always say you’re going to take, go have that conversation with that person you’ve been intending to chat with…Take Action!!

A few call outs are in order. Firstly thanks for having our 6 HODL. Thanks for reaching out to get the plan and offer assistance as needed. Huge congrats to T-Dubs from F3 Outlands for coming in from downrange and for dominating in the Hand Stand Push Up challenge. Well done sir! Thanks to all the PAX that showed up and put in the hard work we all were able to witness each others solid efforts! Finally, HUGE kudos to Fish Tape! I know we keep running into each other and there are instances where I try and poke you a little to do a little more. I as well as many of the Men in the gloom see the effort and know that you can do way more than you think. For that matter, anll of us can do more than we think. Good on you brother for embracing the suck and breaking down walls!!! We all start somewhere!!!
