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

“No Mercy” Monday @ STL

Leave a comment

WARMUP: NONE
THE THANG:
19 men took off at quickly for No Mercy Monday. After a quick mosey to South State Bank, we fired up the legs with 5 Bonnie Blairs to get loose.

From there, we charged down Dave Gibson Blvd to the bottom under the light pole — 5 Jump Squats at the base — then sprinted back up that glorious hill of pain. At the top, we pushed toward the school where, under the next light post, we knocked out 5 Apollo Onos before turning around and heading back for more.

Rinse and repeat. Several rounds. Just under 5 miles of pure burn, grind, and grit.

Bones and Farmers Only quietly crushed it, while Sasquatch somehow wasn’t even breaking a sweat while he led the pack and completed each excercise with amazing form.

Legs smoked. Lungs torched. Mission accomplished.

Quote of the Day:

“Strike first. Strike hard. No mercy.” – Cobra Kai

MARY: NONE
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Golf outing, trash pickup,donate to accelerate

Broken doesn’t mean stop

Leave a comment

WARMUP: With Bass on the mend, he still showed up to put in work and modified as needed. Smart man for knowing how much he can push as we needed his fellowship this morning.

Started out with: SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, honey mooners, downward dogs.
THE THANG: Mosey over to basketball courts. OYO Dora with a few modifications.
– 50 merkins – 10/ round
– 100 squats – 20/ round
– 150 LBCs – 30/ round

5 rounds and then move to the next exercise. For example, 10 merkins, then run to the other end of the basketball court, then back for 10 more merkins. Finish all merkins, then to squats and LBCs.

After Dora, we ran all the way down to the front of the school where we partnered up.
– 60 dips per group, switch every 10. Partners not doing a dip would be in plant position.
– 60 overhead claps, switch every 10. Partners not clapping held a 6” hold.
– 60 squats per group, switch every 10. Person not clapping hugged a tree.
Ran back to COT.
MARY: minor Mary
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yep
