Introduction

Bernie accepted the challenge for his first BD post and I Q’ed a BD for the first time!

Warm-O-Rama

We started with the Dilly Dilly “hit” drill during 5 Core Principles, then used a couple trucks as support during my classic stretch drills (double doinkers, Squatros and calf stretches).

The Thang

In the preblast I called for everyone’s favorite non-coupon exercises.we split into two groups and ran slingshot together around the AO, stopping when everyone performed one sprint. Then the two new line leaders led the group in one or two of their favorite exercises. We finished with some core work at the flags.

Circle of Trust

Love Right

An F3 poem by Quatro

When you love in the right order you love better.

If love your mammon before your 2.0’s, your work will thrive until your family falls apart – then you will have nothing to work for. But if you love your 2.0’s before your mammon, you will work better so you can provide for them – everyone wins when you love right.

If you love your 2.0’s before your M, you’ll seem like a great dad until your lack of love for your M leads to a failed marriage – then your 2.0’s will have doubts about what a man even is. But if you love your M before your 2.0’s, they will see the importance of commitment and learn humility – and they will love better one day as a result. Everyone wins when you love right.

If you love your M before your SkyQ, she will feel special until an obstacle comes along that is too big for you to handle on your own. Having no greater power to lean on, you will be crushed by the weight of the world, inevitably failing to meet each others expectations. If you love your SkyQ before your M, your love will grow as you humbly move toward a greater purpose together. Everyone wins when you love right.

If you love yourself before any of these things, you will become increasingly isolated as you push others away by your selfishness. But if you love yourself last, you will find true peace, fulfillment and joy through service to others. Everyone wins when you love right.

Love to the best of your ability by loving in the right order. Love has a compounding affect when it’s done right.  And everyone wins when you love right.

I just feel the need to reiterate the acceleration of Bernie. He busts it at every workout, and easily completed his first BD – in his mid 50’s! Way to go Bernie!!
