45/15 Gear Fiesta @ Da Bahx

WARMUP: The usual suspects & a bit of Ye Olde “Stretchy-stretch”
THE THANG: 3 rounds of ~ 15 min. gear/pain… then ~ 5 min. Convo. on the Queen

Round-1: 3 pax take on Burning Skidmark
Switch positions each side of the triangle

Extra Pax have choice of Gorilla-Smashes or Sledgehammer on Tire
Rotate new pax onto Burning skidmark
– Repeat until time is called

Discussion: Core Idea:
– The Queen = discipline over input. You can’t “out-King your Queen.”
– Pride whispers that we can outwork bad habits or outshine accountability—this is the Queen of narcissism pretending she serves the King.
Discussion Questions:
1. What’s one area where you’ve tried to “out-King your Queen”—to compensate for poor discipline with more effort or pride?
2. How can physical training mirror spiritual or emotional discipline?
——————————–
Round-2: Same as R.1… but now w/ RAM-JAM
Switch positions at the turn

Extra Pax have choice of mace-Swings … or … Tire-Flips
an attempt at the “wheel of burden“ was made, but abandoned for safety reasons.

– After full rotation, jog to far end zone. Run forward 20 yards, back 10… Repeat. Each stop, add five Merkins.

Discussion: Core Idea:
– Guardrails protect acceleration. The faster you move, the higher the need for discipline.
– Portion control = stewardship, not restriction. Life/Heart change always beats rule-following.
– Accountability prevents drift—especially when comfort or ego dulls your senses.
Discussion Questions:
4. What’s a “Queen” in your life other than food—something that offers comfort but slowly takes control?
5. Who holds you accountable when you start believing your own excuses?
________________________________________
Round 3:
Partner up… 1 pax takes Cindie (on Grass) to light pole
Murder-Bunny-humpers out to pole …
Resurrection Bunnies back

Partner performs w/ Cindie:
deadman-to-barbarian (2-Bi/2-Tri)
Swap upon return
Repeat until all pax cycle through
Run to our end zone, same as after R-2, But now with squats at the yard lines.
———————-
Discussion: Core Idea:
Bricklaying = daily habit formation.
The King = your purpose (faith, family, legacy).
Misplaced priorities and narcissism threaten that King by exalting self over service.
Discussion Questions:
7. What’s a “Brick” you could lay this week—one simple, sustainable act to better serve your Queen?
8. When have you seen self-focus (narcissism, image, pride) pull men off mission?

MARY: There’s something about her….
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bourbon, Christmas, Turkey day converg.
COT: Worked it in – Yup…

Crappy Weinke

Crappy Weinke

YHC took an empty diaper box, put a bunch of exercises on it and had the PAX roll it around like a die (not dice) and completed the exercises. Somehow a bunch of exercises not on the die were called?

Buckets (again)

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.
