Leadership is not a title, rank, or job description – it is a decision. People spend their entire careers trying to have a seat at the “leadership” table. It’s not a position to hold but a decision to put other people first. Thank you men for being the leaders our community needs.

Aye!

KettleBrrr & Chill

Temps were going to be on the cooler side so opted for a lighter weight, high rep workout format. Don’t worry, added a couple of heavy coupons that took their toll on the PAX. What doesn’t kill ya makes you at least 1% better.

WARMUP: Mosey around the COT parking lot for about 3 min and ended near COT where my board of pain was placed and couple of heavy coupons lay lurking. We completed all of the cardio exercises listed on the board in succession to complete the warmup – 30xSSHIC , 20xMCsIC, 10xBurpeesOYO
