Hominy is tired, and he is improvising.

I improvised this plan

Warmup exercises, slightly off from the normal warmup location.

Slow mosey around the grounds, around Lowe’s towards the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Stopped to do some extended planks, stopped to do a few exercises in cadence.

At the Chick-fil-a parking lot. Did an 80-160-240 DORA. Merkins. Squats. LBC.

I didn’t do burpees because I am fundamentally opposed to burpees in a moderate workout. However, before I finished explaining that, some PAX already cranked out a couple of burpees.

Bear crawl across the Chick-fil-a parking lot.

Mosey back to COT area.

Sevens. Calf raises on curb and merkins.

Mary. Peach Stand called Freddy Mercuries. Some others called a few exercises; I don’t remember which exercises anybody else called. I closed us out with an exercise right at 0600 on the dot.

COT. Peach Stand and Marty Byrde had to leave early. We were down to 5. What is said in COT stays in COT, but I can tell you that we shared some good stuff. Sometimes it’s easier to open up with a smaller number of PAX.

COT: https://www.kcrg.com/2026/09/08/iowa-band-member-collapsed-heat-hawkeyes-football-game-taken-off-life-support/

  • healthy perseverance: Leaders are hardwired to push through discomfort, mask their pain, and show up for their people no matter the physical cost.
  • Where in your life are you pretending to the world that you are completely fine?
  • Vertical Accountability: relationship between you and the standard you hold yourself to.
  • Why is it so difficult for high-performing men to raise their hands and say, "I am hitting my limit, I need to sit this out"?
  • Horizontal Accountability: relationship with peers.
  • Are we actively looking at the faces of those around us, and able to see when someone is silently red-lining or are we too focused on our own performance?

School Tour

Commentary courtesy of Dark Helmet:

12 men at The Pit Of Cocks received a generous helping of Italian Jobs.

The Thang:

  • Run 1/4 mile-ish then perform the following
  • 10 Burpees
  • 20 HR Merkins
  • 30 Lunges
  • 40 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Burpees

Repeat until the hate leaves your heart or until 45 minutes has elapsed…

Moleskine:
The morning began with Liberty rescuing Goose’s hemorrhoid pillow from the parking lot (not sure when that got left there) and placing it lovingly by the flag. Also placed by the flag, was a fat deuce squeezed out like Satan’s toothpaste by 3D’s nutsniffer. Not to worry, like most good dog owners, 3D brought his little doo-doo produce bags and collected the offering to carry with him. I don’t have a dog, and one of the main reasons is that I currently live in a situation that would require me to bend down and collect the feces of a lesser beast. I'm on the top of the food chain. I will not collect feces. Besides, the mighty (though domesticated) canine deserves to leave his castoffs where they lay, so for me to take responsibility to care for such an animal would require me to live beyond the officious reach of an HOA and past the confines of a fence…

Changing subjects, Deep Dish remarked about the amount of sand in the CRHS parking lot and was contemplating how to take his kids there and convince them that it was Myrtle Beach, but with less cigarette butts.

COT: Pray for many men’s relatives, to shoulder our burdens, and to be smart enough not to go alone.
