4 Corners at the Sink

Fall weather is upon us with morning temps around 57 degrees and ready to work. YHC was excited for my VQ at the Kitchen Sink thanks to Farmers Only. I have a tendency to get stuck in a rut attending the same workouts each week and this call out introduced me to a new opportunity.

I prepped by reviewing previous backblasts and Q Source. I wanted to incorporate a leadership lesson into the Q and settled on the 4 corners of the school which matched the 4 Quadrants of Q Source.

WARMUP:

20 SSH
10 IW
20 Mtn Climbers

THE THANG:

Round 1
Starting at the corner of the school
5 Man Makers
10 Rows
15 Curls
20 Flutter IC
Shuffle to next corner then rinse and repeat

Round 2
10 Shoulder Taps
10 Lunges
15 Squats
20 LBCs IC

At each corner, we discussed a Quadrant from Q Source

Get Right
– A man cannot Get Right by himself
– You are maintaining your fitness for reasons outside of yourself

Live Right
– A HIM influences through word and deed
– A habit can be positive, negative or neutral

Lead Right
– Leadership is influencing movement towards advantage
– Candor is graciously telling the hard truth and demanding it from others

Leave Right
– Legacy is constructed through the HIMs ability to develop Virtuous Leaders
– Failure is a wonderful teacher but only if you can take the pain from it

COT:

Continued prayers for victims of Helene
Prayers for residents of Florida in the path of Milton
