Bags of Fury

Leave a comment

We had 5 at The Coaches Box for some fun with Sandbags!

Thang:
Toss sandbags 10 yards and run a suicide back to the start line. We did that 10 times across the length of the parking lot.

Sandbag carry every 10 yards and stop for 10 pushups, 10 merkins, 10 bb sit-ups. Increase reps by 10 every 10 yards.

Second half hour we discussed what it looks like to live 3rd.

Welcome FNG Escobar!

Nugget of wisdom

“The parts of a man that are able to show up when he is unconcerned with how qualified he is are the parts that we need the most”

First Q since spring of 25’, just like riding a bike although there may have been some rust on the chain and the tires could have been inflated. Always a pleasure to Q at a site that has meant so much to me over the years.

Had the pleasure of good meaningful discussion alongside some pain and encouragement from the HIM in attendance.

Thankful for the nod from <@U01NGHPR2HW>

Three lessons of leadership shared from Kirby Smart:

You will have to make hard decision that negatively impact people you care about

You will be disliked despite your attempts to do the best for the most

You will be misunderstood and not always have a chance to defend yourself

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read that newsletter – lots of ways to get involved

NMM – Closing thought – Upholding standards requires sometimes being unpopular. As leaders – we must be diligent in our assessment of how we carry and live up to those for our homes, families and communities we serve. Tell someone about what standards you are trying to uphold. Our effectiveness in doing so is only as good as our accountability measures in place.

COT: 5th core principle. #YHTBT

Thanks for the call Rosie. :eye:

Buckets (again)

Leave a comment

WARMUP: We warmed up

Went to the now famous buckets workout.

Three buckets were placed around Kingsley. Upon arrival the packs found various exercises on paper slips that were pulled from the buckets at random. The goal was to spread the buckets around so that we got at least a mile if not a mile and a half of running for the workout.

Included in bucket 1:
Box cutters and burpees
Mtn climbers and grave diggers
Donkey kicks and merkins
LBCs and dying cockroaches

Bucket 2:
Donkey kicks and squats
Calf raises and Weezy Jeffersons
Butt kickers and Peter pointers

Bucket 3:
Burpees of various counts
Shoulder taps
Lbc’s

All thoroughly enjoyed. Good news…I believe they will all continue to post at the Fort.

Many thanks to the President and CEO of gloomschedule, <@U08G28Z7E> for the opportunity.

NMM
We lift heavy so that we can carry heavy things – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Men who prioritize training are resilient and reliable, and as such, everybody wants what they have. But you have to learn to say “no” to some things. If you pour out everything you have, you will have nothing left to your family or for yourself.

Also, know that you have a brotherhood to help you shoulder the weight. You’re either going through it, just went through it, or will go through it. When you get overwhelmed, ask for help. You are needed, desired, and loved. Don’t let temporary problems cause you to succumb to a permanent solution. Talk, listen, share, and care. We need you. Your family needs you. And your community needs you.

Aye!
IJ
