Don’t take it for granted.

Warmup:

47 SSH (IC)
20ish merkins (IC)

Mosey around the elementary school car line.

Killer B’s:

Bearcrawl 10 yards do ten burpees
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 20 bombjacks
Bearcrawl 10 more yards do 30 BBS

Broad jump all the way back to the start. Do this 3x

15:00 minute time limit.

After this I asked the pax if when I put the time limit on the routine it made them push harder or slack off. The point being we all have a time limit. Our time is finite, if they’d true then why not push yourself… why not try and maximize your minutes?

2nd routine Pick your poison:

Since Duquesne made the tournament for the first time in 47 years everybody got to choose how they wanted to get 47 reps in.

47 HR OR Diamond merkins
Run a lap
47 Jump Squats OR Lunges (2-cr)
Run a lap
47 (4-CT) flutters OR HD
Run 2 Laps

This took us straight to COT.

Men…Maximize the minutes given to us. Lost time is never found again.

To the 50….and beyond

Nice morning for Acceleration at The Box. First day on site as Site Q and on the the Q as well. Middle and Upper Management present to ensure flag in ground and disclaimer read. Following Qsource, the topic today was “M”.

WARMUP:
Mosey, SSH x 26 (IC), Windmill x 10 (IC), stretched the calves, MNC x 15 (IC)

Spur #1 – Accelerating Fellowship requires Relational Rhythm –> Preparedness. Goal is not a static state of balance.

THE THANG:

Mosey to hill closest to Hwy 21
Down and up the hill x 3. Burpees at the top, Merkins at the Bottom. (15-10-5). Complete 20 reps each hill completion (i.e. 15 burpees/5 merkins, 10/10, 5 burpees/15 merkins).

Spur – You do not meet your M at the 50 yard line. This is not a balancing act, it may not be fair. You go beyond the 50 and to the endzone if need be.

To illustrate this, we did a 4th round down and up the hill even though the thought was we were doing 3 and recovering.

We then moseyed to the pull up bars for some AMRAP. We made it through 4 rounds of: 5 pullups – 10 merkins – 15 squats – 20 LBCs. Then partnered PAX up. One PAX would hang from pullups bars while the other held 6 inches merkins. Loser had to complete 5 burpees. Rotate.

Mosey back to benches.

Spur #2 – The M is the most important relationship –> Quiver of arrows to target the M in the Concentrica

Mosey to the 50 yard line on the band lot football field. Reminder that we do not stop at the 50.

Spur #3 – Accelerating the M requires skill and love –> 1) Maintenance = Deceleration, 2) Culture is a Jester, 3) No 50 yard line, 4) M is not your best friend, 5) Joy > Happiness.

Finished with some diamond merkins, flutters, protractor and freddie mercuries. Mosey back to COT.

MARY: A little

COT

Discussion on Servants and Masters. All the “things” of this world are good Servants but bad Masters: money, food, popularity, aesthetics, power… So how do you keep them in their proper place? It’s Discipline (1st F), Council (2nd F), and Mission (3rd F). So you wonder why this thing of F3 works, but it’s a model for behavior that works on so many levels.

DRP

Leave a comment

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.

Leadership message;

The topic was parenting…Couple key points:

Lead by example, do you have your kids do as you do or do as you say? Or are there two sets of rules?

Hold to a set of family values, is there a clear set of values and principles? Maybe even put them on the wall somewhere

Allow space for failure, don’t be hasty to judge, criticize and even being sarcastic can stifle a culture where your kids are comfortable failing in the home- much like the gloom for us, we can feel confident to try things and sometimes fail.

Be a father first friend second, society tells us to let your kids do whatever they want in the name of personal preferences, we aren’t here to placate every desire of our children, we need to be fathers!

and remember this life is nothing but dust in the wind! What will your legacy be? Do your kids know God? Better yet do they know Christ?
