What she said

WARMUP:
THE THANG: 10+3 got Hived as I visited the DMZ and gave a KB lesson.
– <@U05RN7GSDLH> , <@U0904HV02BY> , and <@U05K5D10AG6> rucked it out. I believe that most of the world’s problems got solved, but as capitalists, you’ll have to pay to find out the answers.
– <@U03B9G9BXJM> came dressed for a chilly golf outing, complete with puffy jacket. Guys gave him a lot of crap, but they don’t have sensitive nipples, so they don’t get it.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> was in typical form. That means it was a non-stop stream of working hard at both the exercises and giving me a hard time.
– <@U087NCUTMPT> has HCed to bringing an additional 50 lb KB to the Hive from now on for those who are interested. So… no one.
– <@U19FA0Q8Z> is a grown-ass man. NOT a grown ass-man. Hyphens matter.
– <@UGYDCTRST> gave me a normal fist bump at the end, and after checking his temp (rectally, of course) to make sure he wasn’t ill, he recognized where he went off the rails and gave me the normal Slash treatment.
– <@U5DBBKTE0> was the standard and helped us with our form. That was the focus this morning, doing the right things the right way. When that’s the theme, he’s the go to.
– <@U0A25GTDDEJ> has his foot on the accelerator. But he’s not redlining yet. He wins the Helmet award for my favorite guy that had his VQ this week at Ring of Badgers (Fire).
– <@U06P97NSX17> was the sole representative from the Gaggle of Degenerates. Especially since the King of the Degenerates (<@USBP08L1G>) was occupied elsewhere.
– <@U5DKASDQU> was the WarDaddy today (see previous bullet as to why). On a side note, his new retirement gig is developing lesson plans for a new Minnesota Quality Learing Center franchise he’s opening on the WestSide.

This report is true and is able to be copied and pasted into the /slackblast by any man who wants those stats bumped up.

We Took the Long Route So No One Could Pretend Everything Was Fine

Leave a comment

The PAX were asked a simple question before the work began:
“What burdens are you carrying?”
No answers required yet—just something to sit with.

Opening Smoke Session
Sprint up the hill, knock out 5 burpees, then run it back down. Consider it the price of admission.

From there, we headed down the path toward Harris Street and rolled straight into a moving warm-up, keeping the group together and the heart rate climbing:
• Windmills
• Run
• Imperial Walkers
• Run
• Monkey Humpers
• Run
• Moroccan Night Clubs
• Run
• Low, slow squats

We pushed up the Harris Street hill, then made our way toward the high school pull-up bars.

Mini Dora (Partner Work)
• Partner 1: Dead hang for a 40-count
• If you drop, you get back up. No shortcuts.
• Partner 2:
• 30 Burpees
• 75 Mike Tysons

An audible was called to keep us moving and on mission, so the 100 Big Boys and 150 Sumo Squats were left behind as we transitioned to the next station.

Mosey to the Band Practice Lot

Tire Work — Team Load
• Teams of 4–5 per tire
• Carry the tire around the parking lot
• One man drops to complete 5 burpees, next man steps in
• Cycle continues until the full loop is complete

Then:
• Tire flips — 2 men flip, rotate out, next 2 step in
• Shared load. Shared effort. No spectators.

COT

After returning the tires, we walked and slow-moseyed back to COT.

This is where the real work happened.

Each man shared the burden he’s carrying with the brother next to him.
Then we answered the follow-up:
“What can you do to help carry that load?”

No fixing. No speeches. Just presence and accountability.

Totals:
• 3.2 miles
• Solid boot camp
• New ground covered—both physically and personally

We stayed together the entire way.
No man left behind. No man left where we found him.
