Gorgeous Friday morning at The Swamp and the PAX cam pouring in. Good split of Ruckers and Bootcampers showing up to swallow the daily Red Pill. It was April 8th and it had been a while since I pulled the Crazy 8’s beat down out. Ask Anchorman about Crazy 8’s. I know many Qs have their version, but I learned mine from Lil Mike who is one sick dude at Q. The man runs like a gazelle and I had to partner with him for Catch me if you Can……have you seen my legs??? Weiner Dog division!!

Ok here’s the Thang:

Mosey jog and, shuffles, backward jog, and some dynamic stretches to the circle on the main drag.

Single file line up for one of my hated gigs….The Indian Run…..each man takes 3 sprints to front before stopping. We had 17 in the circle so this was a sweet warm-up.

Mosey to Front of Target. Do a little wall sit and gather our 6 and breath.

I spoke to the PAX about Character and how we need to be who we are in Public in Private as well and if we are putting on a show, we fool nobody but ourselves. I asked the PAX to think of those in their life or whoever they think has great Character…..more to come.

Time to pay homage to the Red Balls

8 Balls each with an exercise written next to it. We will do 8 reps and bear crawl to every other ball and run the others…..remember April 8th….Crazy 8’s…..8 balls 8 reps…..just nutty!

8 Bombjacks, 8Russian Twists, 8 Freddy Mercs, 8 Plank Jacks, 8 Peter Parkers, 8 Diamond Merkins, 8 Donkey Kicks, 8 Monkey Hu….Squats (did not want to right humpers in front of Target)

After that Fun, Mosey to TGI Friday’s

Partner Up and here we go for some good old fashion fun

Partner #1 is running a Figure 8 around the parking lot, while Partner #2 is completing 4 exercises 8 reps for each…..they are

Merkins, LBC’s Squats, Burpees

This was a challenging and fun routine. I asked the PAX to find something out about their partners that they did not know before. The idea is we are encouraging each other, thinking about the odd thing they just told us, getting to know each other and build a relationship while taking our minds off the pain going on in our bodies.

We wrapped up and hit COT.

27 PAX got better at The Swamp and another 12 got better at ChiknWizdim II reading The Word!

As for Character and Fatherhood…..our 2.0 are watching and learning our ever move. The good, the bad and the ugly. Don’t take it lightly when you are using bad language, disrespecting their mother or acting like a total bonehead…..because that is exactly what they are picking up from your “Character”. It is caught not taught and if we don’t be 2 times better than the world….we are setting our kids up for a whole lotta mess.

One other thing on Character….if we remember Sky Q is always present….we should act respectfully and our Character will never be in question…..AYE!

Peace Out Brothers! Thank you Royal and PAX for the opportunity to lead!
