Bald is beautiful

WARMUP: Did a little stretching and then a mosey that almost killed me. Yeah I was Qin.
THE THANG: moseyed from COT to the wall down on 160. Did a few things like wall sits as we watched someone do an exercise. Got bored with that so we ran up that freakin hill to the Parkin lot. Did a few rounds of 4 corners. Abs, arms, legs, and shoulders. Time flew by so Fogerty took over. He kept walking around with this cardboard thing folded up. That’s when it all really started. He had five exercises on the list SSH, squats, lunges, merkins, and LBCs. Then we ran down the freakin hill again. We did this until we almost died. Headed back to COT for abs

Did have a little story time about the story of Daniel and king Darius. Spoiler alert the lions didn’t eat Daniel. The satraps weren’t so lucky.

All done.

NMM
We lift heavy so that we can carry heavy things – physically, emotionally, and spiritually. Men who prioritize training are resilient and reliable, and as such, everybody wants what they have. But you have to learn to say “no” to some things. If you pour out everything you have, you will have nothing left to your family or for yourself.

Also, know that you have a brotherhood to help you shoulder the weight. You’re either going through it, just went through it, or will go through it. When you get overwhelmed, ask for help. You are needed, desired, and loved. Don’t let temporary problems cause you to succumb to a permanent solution. Talk, listen, share, and care. We need you. Your family needs you. And your community needs you.

Aye!
