Last Man Standing

THE THANG:
Some KB swings, rows, cleans, overhead presses, RDLs then a 3 mile run (I think that’s record distance for a gear AO).

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Not the way I expected to end my run as site Q, but it is what it is. Learned a lot of lessons over the 1.25 years as a site Q. Lessons that transfer very well to life. I’ve learned a lot about myself, and by extension, those around me. I’ve learned that at times (and quite often) leadership can be lonely. Learned that there are a lot of well meaning people. Also learned that (too much) change can act as a repellent.

It’s also unfortunate that the sun has to set on a KB AO, but anyone is free to lead and pick it up from where it ended.

Keep accelerating, keep fostering male community leadership, keep being High Impact Men in (y)our communities.

DRP

WARMUP: SSH, Cherry pickers, IW, HW

THE THANG: In light of the Q Source topic of DRP, the weinke reflected the Spurs.
1. “A man needs help to get right.”
The first portion of the workout was a team effort. Teams of 2 had to complete 50 merkins, 50 big boys, and 50 squats total reps.

During the next portion of the workout we discussed the second spur
2. “A man must turn pro to get right.”
Second workout 25 minutes of 100yd sprints EMOM.
Turning pro means that you’re making the decision every day to work towards your goals, being a true HIM. Often times with the help of a Disrupter.

Third spur is “Discretion is a cage with velvet bars”
This means that when you give yourself too many options, giving up is easy. Before every workout the disclaimer is made “modify if necessary” and too often we modify our goals to make it easier to quit.

Wrapped up the workout with 50 merkins, 50 big boys, and 50 squats. If you finished before someone else, take a portion of their reps to help them finish up as well. A man needs help to get right.
Final buy out was a 200yd sprint.
