Thrillmas In July

Leave a comment

Twas the day after the 4th and all through the Yard not a creature was stirring except 7 pax who wanted to work out hard.

Drop Thrill was on Q and had a devious plan. There was too much shoulder work for Ruby to stand.

On Grogu on Ruby on Float Bridge on Harry, on Dojo on Rumbling Bald things are getting quite scary!

The Pax were quite quick and just in time, finished the twelfth day and complained about burpees and boy did they whine.

Thrill being a wise old elf, finally let the pax breathe in spite of himself.

As he rode out of sight, the Pax swore they could hear him shout : Happy Thrillmas in July and to all, a good night!

We need tribute

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, SSH, and windmills
Mumblechatter was strong during the warmup, one might say distracting, so we cut that short to get to lifting
THE THANG:
in each of four corners exercises were laid out for rounds 1, 2, and 3
Corner 1: goblet squat, rack squat, lunge
Corner 2: curls, tricep extension, skull crusher
Corner 3: American hammer, window wiper, flutter press
Corner 4: chest press, merkin, half Turkish getup

In the middle is the plyometric box. 5lb dumbells, and a 60lb sandbag

Split up into two teams. Go to a corner. The team does the exercise for the round they are on while their tribute runs to the middle to do one of three exercises for 10 reps. All teams continue their reps until every tribute has returned to their teams.
Tributes may do box jumps (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehWXqlCElEc on the box), or deadlifts. Count is 10.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Mens Shelter, 4th convergence, Barry
COT: circle of TRUST. Trust was requested, not a prayer chain, no trust was bestowed so the Q assumes everyone is in top form at home. End with a prayer according to the Q’s faith.

You survived a day at the virtual park!

Well done! Thanks for coming along for the ride.

Thrill reminds you that you can’t always predict the twists and turns of life, but you can be strong enough to push through when you need to.

With that, The Thrill is gone.

1. Although men are marginally less likely than women to develop a significant mental illness during their lifetimes, about 1 in 2 men will have a diagnosable disorder at some point in their lifetimes.
2. Men are about 2x less likely than women to seek help if problems do occur.
3. Almost 50% of men feel that they are struggling more than they admit to people in their life.
4. Depression looks significantly different in men than in women… Women tend to present as sad and withdrawn, while men tend to present as irritable and angry.
5. Men are 2-3x more likely to abuse substances in an attempt to manage their mental health, which often leads to other health problems.
6. Suicide rates in men have been steadily increasing over the past 20 years, and at present, men are 4x more likely than women to die by suicide, and this risk increases with age.
7. Therapists that specialize in working with men often use different strategies to make therapy feel more approachable… therapy doesn’t have to look like sitting in an office and crying about your feelings!
8. Therapists have historically done a pretty crappy job of helping men, though things are slowly changing. Men often go to therapy at the urging of a loved one, but men tend to drop out of therapy sooner than women because they find it unhelpful. This is a legitimate problem, and you’re not crazy if you’ve tried therapy before and it wasn’t helpful for you! If you’re thinking about reaching out to a therapist, consider finding one that has specific expertise in working with men. (from Giles, who is a therapist and can offer this opinion form a place of experience).

Do The Work – Get Sore

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Run almost 2 parking lot laps then circle up at the base of the hill at the entrance of the school property.
Typical warm culprits: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Wind Mills
THE THANG:
50% effort run to the stop sign at Whites Rd, 25 Merkins
Run back to the start, 20 Squats
75% effort run to stop sign, 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Run back to the start, 10 Jump Squats
100% effort run to the stop sign, 5 Diamond Merkins

Mosey past the start and continue to the parking lot adjacent to the stadium entrance for a bear crawl accumulator.
Bear crawl 3 parking lot spaces then 2 Carolina Dry Docks
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 3 CDDs.
Bear crawl another 3 spaces then 4 CDDs.
Continue the trend until the end of the lot.
3/4 of the way through this evolution, I was reminded of a message that has been ringing in my head frequently. I shared this with the PAX:
“Everybody wants to be strong but nobody wants to be sore.”
This is a reference to wanting the hardship to pass while reaping the rewards of the finish product. As we all know, growth happens in the journey, long before you reach the finish line. Embrace the soreness.

Now, crawl bear back to the starting line then make our way to the goal line on the football field. We’ll be performing a modified “corners” evolution.
10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run across the field to the other side of the same goal line for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C, Run 100yds to the other goal line but on the same side of the field for 10 Flutter Kicks I/C then across the field for 10 more Flutter Kicks I/C.
Now, run to the 20yd line and execute the same evolution while performing 10 American Hammers I/C at the stops.
Now, run to the 40yd line with 10 LBCs at the corners.
Make our way back to the start for a 100yd sprint then a 100yd NUR back.
Make our way back to the parking lot and run back to COT with a few stops for a Merkin variety along the way.
Lastly, 1min elbow plank hold.
Remember, don’t shy away from doing the hard work in life and embracing the soreness. Additionally, don’t assume you’ll get a fresh start to tackle a challenge because after all, nobody cares what you can do fresh.

MARY: Integrated throughout
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
COT: For Sure
