Move to the field. PAX plank with ruck on their left side and, one pax at a time, say one thing they’re struggling with before pulling ruck through to other side. After that, pax said one thing for which they were grateful and pulled ruck through to left side. PAX then recovered from plank. Lesson – we don’t have to bear burdens alone. Sharing them allows us a greater ability to work through them.
Move to lot next to COT for DORA’s – 50 Ruck swings and 100 flutters with ruck press.

Thanks for the call Farmers Only :eye:
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.

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

WARMUP:
Move wights into place…
THE THANG:
9/11 Memorial workout simulating 110 + roof (111) stair climb with sandbags and a parking lot with 37 spaces (373==11).
Split PAX into two teams for North and South Tower. Split teams into three groups each. At one end of parking lot (base of buildings) one group on each team will be performing KB lifts of their choosing (stipulation was to touch ground and then go over head, but that got lost in translation). One group will be performing burpees at each parking spot (or floor). One group will be carrying sandbags in between to relieve the other two groups.
As sandbag group relieves burpee group, he will proceed to the next available floor. (If he drops sandbag off at floor 25 while 25, 26, and 27 are doing burpees, he goes to 28.) There is an added mental exercise to count how many burpees/lifts you performed, and add that number to the number given to you associated with the bag you are carrying.
Demo: To start, floor 1, 2, and 3 will start with a bag and do that many burpees to preload the bag. Floor 1 will then run the bag to the lifters and hand it to the next available person. Lifter takes bag with 1, adds his lifts number (lets say 5) to 1. He then takes the sandbag, runs and hands it to burpee group at floor 4, tells him bag has 6 and runs to floor 7 to commence burpees. The man on floor 4 adds his burpee number (lets say 6) to the bag , runs, and hands it to the next available lifter and tells him the bag has 12.
Repeat until burpees have been performed at ever floor.
Run that back 3 times. (We got through 2… next time.)
COT:
Quick reminder that we will take for granted more than we will ever hope to contribute. We stand on the shoulders of giants and it was undeniably visceral on 9/11/2001 when we saw so many risk everything to help their brothers and sisters in need.
There’s two ways to make a living in this world… exploit systems or create value. I hope you get a chance at the latter. A rising tide lifts all boats.
The image of the board will be used as the workout details but in case others want to use this, here are a few notes to consider:
– Split the group if needed.
– Predetermine a good distance for the Mode of Transportation (M.O.T.) and ensure it’s clearly articulated.
– Keep repeating the “Thang” section until every PAX completes 1 time on the M.O.T.
– Give example of the exercise before that “Thang” section, not all examples in the beginning.
– Open to other feedback
