NMM:
Asked each guy to share a bit about their failures. So, many of them shared a regret…something they viewed as a failure that like mising an opportunity. Some shared some pretty epic failures and how they’ve changed because of that.

We don’t necessarily have to regret something for it to be a failure. Personally, I want to try to fail better and often. I wanna dream big, and go big. If it blows up right in my face, hopefully I can learn something for my next big attempt. Shady once told me to fail forward. I like that.

We can’t be afraid to take chances. How are you putting yourself at risk for failure? Is that a good thing? Is it a bad thing? Is it neither but thinking makes it so? (That’s a reference to Hamlet….look it up.) How can we strive to attempt things in ways that leads to good things even when we fail?

This is the kinda stuff I think about. Sometimes a lot. Often in a circular fashion. You’re welcome…or not.

The workout was hard, in the rain, and we went in a giant circle, twice.

Q School at RoF – Leadership

Leave a comment

YHC was honored to lead the Pax at Q School at Ring of Fire. T-claps to Cake Boss for leading this monthly event in an effort to standardize the Q across the region. While well suited for FNGs as part of the onboarding for the Fort, Q School represents an opportunity for all Pax as being the Q represents a leadership opportunity and leadership requires practice.

WARMUP:
After reviewing this disclaimer, YHC instructed the Pax on leading as a Q as part of the responsibility to positively influence himself and others. Within this responsibility lies trust that the Pax will follow the Q until the he leads them beyond reason until an unsafe environment or without proper instruction.

Mosey to NaFo band lot for COT and review of cadence counting
SSH x 20
Mtn x 20
IW x 10
CDD x 10
MNC x 10
Merkins x 10

THE THANG:
The next discussion focused on preparedness as a Q and focused on the following:
– Reading backblasts
– Simple in design
– Scalable
– Challening effort across all fitness levels

Mosey to end of the lot for “lazier Dora” which included an explanation on Dora from Harry Caray.

Partner Up
100 merkins alternating by 10 while other partner holds plank
Run to flag pole and back
200 Squats alternating by 20 while other partner holds Al Gore
Run to flag pole and back
300 LBCs alternating by 30 while other partner holds protractor aka 6 inches
Run to flag pole and back

Next up a discussion on Vision and Articulation and a reference to Exhortation.

Mosey back while stopping for “Death By” for burpees.
Every minute counts go from 3 to 6 to 9 to 12
MARY:
Finished with 10 Big Boys
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
We went around the Pax “CSPAN style” expressing gratitude and prayers across jobs, healing, children being saved and our parents. YHC was blessed by the presence of these men today and hopefully each feels challenged to be the light for the remainder of the day.

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, low slow squats, low slow merkins. Windmills
THE THANG: mes balls and sandbags were lined up. Pax formed a line and started tossing them over the shoulder, rotate, we had 9 bags of different weights for the rotation.

Bring bags to bottom of parking lot. 4 pax will bear crawl and push/roll the medballs up the hill while rest of pax will toss sandbags forward, rotate as needed between to complete 2 circuits.

We had 3 sledgehammers waiting for us…

Next. 3 pax with hold one sledgehammer each with one hand with arm straight out and hold it while rest of pax mosey around parking lot carrying, sandbags, medballs and rucks. Rotate as needed for 10 minutes alternating between hammers and mosey.

Back to pushing medballs up the hill while bear crawling, 10 pax bear crawled up and down the hill in a rotating form while 3 pax made “halos” with the hammers, rotate again between hammers and med balls. another 10 minutes.

I’ve been wanting to try the bear crawl /med ball push for a while and now it’s one of my favorite modes of transportation.

Shoulders will be smoking tomorrow.
