Introduction
Opportunity…I seemed nobody wanted to grab the Q and YHC had not been down south for a minute so why not. Weather was looking a little ‘sus’ but I knew we had areas at the AO to take cover should it be required. LFG
Warm-O-Rama
The Warm Up consisted of
Motivators
Down/Up
Michael Phelps
Tappy Taps
Arm Rotations
Had PAX Stretch OYO while YHC explained some of the movements they would be doing (Catalina Wine Mixers, Thruster, SDHP Coupon Jump Overs, Push Press, Bent Over Rows)
As the weather was a little ‘sus’ (possible lightening?) moved the PAX to the Aquatic Center Building where we could be under some cover (just in case)
The Thang
THANG1
EMOM- 6 Minutes
Alternate between movements.
Movement 1: 6 Catalina Wine Mixers then as many SSH until minute was up
Movement 2: 25 Air Squats
As it appeared the threat of lightening had passed, we moved from out under the cover and started
THANG2
5 Rounds – Each Round is a 5 Minute AMRAP (reps). Perform first movement for 1 min then rotate to next movement, etc. 1min Rest after each round
Performed movements in order.

As we had a few PAX that left their canned goods at home, as a group we did a few burpees and then moved into Mary which consisted of leg raises, flutterkicks, and gas pumpers
Circle of Trust
Announcements (we have alot of stuff going on over the next month or so) were read by Foreclosure. Thanks brother!
A read a COT from Sparkler the other day and it resonated with me so much I felt it was important enough to read again just in case PAX had not heard or read it. So basically, I stole it from Sparkler!
I’m tired. And no I’m not talking about me physically. I’m tired of people. I’m tired of asking them to push themselves further than they have ever gone physically. I’m tired of their excuses, self-limitations and laziness. I’m tired of asking people to step up and lead. I’m tired of hearing the discouragement from people outside of this group not willing to take the hard path. Most of all I’m tired of people not living up to their potential because they are getting in their own way. It’s exhausting and it makes me want to do this all on my own so that I don’t have to watch another person quit on themselves.
BUT I will never stop asking you to get better. Or asking you to step up and lead. Or telling everyone to do something they think they cannot do. Why? Because the reward is far greater than the disappointment. To watch others, succeed when they didn’t believe they could originally is what life is all about. And doing it all together is simply more fun. But Why? Because there is untapped potential out there for so many people and they are looking to us to unlock it. But Why? Because you all motivate me to be better and hold a higher standard.
So, if you are ever tired of people and the negativity and the all-around bs of the day to day just remember why you are doing everything you are doing. Because the reward of even ONE person who changes their life outweighs the quitting and negativity of an entire population. Aye!
