Introduction
It was a cool morning at TC and the early mumblechatter was in high gear. The turnout of PAX was high to see what the Q would hit them with after pre-blast promises of a full body burner.
Warm-O-Rama
Good Mornings – 10
Tappy Taps – 10
Abe Vigodas – 10
Motivators from 6
Ti Fighters – 10 forward, 10 backward
Mosey around the entire lot
The Thang
Pax were split into two groups to avoid overcrowding.
Strength exercises started at 30 reps. Reps were decreased by 5 down to five with 10 reps of a core exercise between sets. Then a form running exercise half the length of the parking lot to a station where 30 air squats were performed before completing the mosey the rest of the way around the lot. There were 5 exercise groupings:
Curls – Big Boys – High Knee
Skull Crushers – LBC – Butt Kickers
Chest Press – Leg Lifts – Lunge Walk
Overhead Press – American Hammers (4-ct) – Bernie Sanders
Upright Rows – Freddy Mercuries (4-ct) – High Knee Hops
Mary was Leg Lifts – 20, Amr Hammers (4-Ct) – 20, Pickle Pusher – 20, Big Boys – 40, Ring of Fire with 2 Merkins and finally 30 seconds of Star Gazers which was greatly appreciated by many.
Circle of Trust
YHC discussed how despite over 25 years of leadership roles in professional career, the last 4 months in F3 have forced him to really look inside to discover his Jokers and learn to lean onto them and do the opposite of what they are telling him to do. He acknowledged that he is still working on Get Right in his life and that he is a work in progress. He realizes he will never be finished. There is no destination, just the ongoing daily incremental progress.
Ended with the Lords Prayer and an Ave Maria to all unspoken intentions.
Naked Man Moleskin
More than a few Pax commented to YHC during the Thang on their appreciation for the design of the BC. All were challenged and pushed themselves, none finished all 5 Rounds.
The Q Juice was flowing heavy during Mary and YHC had to be reigned in on the pace of the Big Boys as most Pax were not keeping up. I realized that I wanted to out-do the Pax to show how tough I could be. But in that moment realized that the Q is not there to beat the Pax. He is there to challenge them. He needs to put them first. He needs to plan and prepare so they can get them most out of their effort. He needs to push them so they can get the most out of themselves. This is how he shows his love and respect for them. I was selfish. As I said, a work in progress.
