Second Half:
Topic: Integrity & Job Interviews: Are you the same person every day at your job as you were in your job interview?
Reminder about the objectives of our 30 minute discussions:
– Talk about a topic that will help us accelerate. Could be any type of thing that’s on your mind.
– It gives men a chance to open up and share. If you’re the Q and you have something to share, then share. But focus on writing some discussion questions that will lead other men to share as well. Always leave plenty of time and space for the other PAX to talk. It might not even be on topic. That’s okay.
– This is like an extended COT. More time to talk. More openness. More vulnerability.
– Even more than with regular COT, personal stuff that is shared here, stays here. But ideas that you get from here should be shared. Go out and apply it. Use it to make your family and your community better.
– The format is 30/30. In the past, we’ve had some variation from that. Coach’s Box’s brand is 30/30
Barry did some pole work and a warmup. I did some 4corners with some mall walking and stretching. That is all

Jester:
The Daily Discipline Over The Temptation Of The Flesh That Hinders Acceleration
Every man has his own personal Jester
The jester is a master liar. His 5 lies are
1. You Are The Boss Of Me – “you can stop me whenever you want”
2. You Are What You Do – the stumbling self is the real you
3. You Are (relatively) Not That Bad A Guy – is it really that bad?”
4. The Jester And Virtue Can Coexist – “yeah but”
5. You Can’t Live, If Living Is Without Me – “there is no hope”
But, Preparedness keeps the Jester at bay
“While I can never out-paddle my Jester, the faster my boat is Accelerating through the water the harder it is for him to capsize it.”
Warm ups: SSHs, Imperial Walkers, arm circles.
Ruck on for remainder of workout. Carried weight to the front of the school. We each took turns carrying all the bags, bells to the parking island while the other pax performed exercises (merkins, squats, swings, lat pulls)
Lap around the parking lot with ruck.
Second round- weight moved between islands while pax bear crawled with exercises (squats, ruck press)

Back to COT.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jager, newsletter
COT:
After an extended sabbatical from bootcamp—featuring a highlight reel of injuries and a little side quest called cancer— Cubbie decided it was my time to step back into the Q saddle. Turns out the saddle still fits… it’s just attached to a horse that appears to be rode hard and put away wet.
We opened with the disclaimer, which felt especially important given the current structural integrity of the Q. Then we moseyed to WEP for SSH, Windmills, Imperial Walkers, Broga, and Moroccan Night Clubs. Spirits were high, joints were cracking, and I immediately established the theme for the morning: “moderate expectations.”
One small administrative oversight: YHC completely forgot to count off the Pax at the beginning. So if you were there… congratulations and I hope you made it back at the end.
Round 1 – Park Loop Bench Tour
We took a lap around the park loop, stopping at each of the swinging benches for:
5 Merkins
5 Squats
This was a nice warmup and also allowed YHC to repeatedly evaluate whether my arms were still capable of pushing my body off the ground. Results were… inconclusive but promising.
Round 2 – Bear Crawl Pyramid of Poor Decisions
Then came the main event: a bear crawl ladder/pyramid situation
Pattern:
Bear crawl 10 yds → 10 Shoulder Taps
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 20 American Hammers
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 30 Flutter Kicks
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 40 LBCs
Add another 10 yd bear crawl → 50 Penguin Heel Taps
Then we worked our way back down the ladder.
Between rounds we jogged back and SSH’d for the 6
Round 3 – Hill of Questionable Cadence
We moseyed back toward COT and stopped at the bottom of the steep hill.
Fast mosey up → 10 IC Mike Tyson’s
Faster mosey up → 8 IC Mike Tyson’s
All you got → 6 IC Mike Tyson’s
This is where things got exciting. Your Q attempted to call cadence for the Mike Tyson’s and demonstrated a bold new counting technique best described as “freestyle jazz cadence.”
The Pax handled it with grace and only minimal public ridicule was made by DOAH.
Return to COT
We wrapped with Nameorama, Announcements, and Prayers & Praises.
Despite a little rust, some questionable counting, and the physical strength of a medium-sized houseplant, it felt good to be back out there bootcamping with the Pax again. Grateful to still be able to show up, even if the Q sheet execution occasionally looked like it was written in crayon.
Thanks for the opportunity Cubbie
