King of the Ring I

Leave a comment

14 Kings at Ring of Fire this morning.
– <@U02JMD0EKS8> was the King of the Ring today. You may now bow to his magnificence.
– <@UGU3XR5RP> came in a not so close 2nd, but he did manage to outsprint me at the end and cause me to perform a couple extra exercises at the end. And by exercises, I mean dry heaves.
– <@U5EKTLC5C> prepared us all to be underwhelmed, but not by his mumblechatter.
– <@UMRNJ46AW> had some hazy recollections of a Slayer concert with <@UGYDCTRST> (not present), but with as many Monster Energy Drinks as he has before a concert his blood pressure increases to a level he’s doing good to be standing much less remembering who attended what.
– And speaking of what Anchorman called “Cookie Monster” metal, <@U076RS8F1DG> had his signature tunes playing for the duration.
– Don’t know if you’ve noticed lately, but <@U0603USPHAS> keeps trimming down and is looking strong out there.
– <@UST30T7FF> represented the Pre-spect crowd well, and even gave me a butt pat, so… you know… I may not have been the King today, but I still feel like a winner.
– <@U01JUGK82TY> and <@U5KHMNAG4> were disappointed but unsurprised at the lack of leg exercises in this workout.
– <@UN6PTD007> was gracious enough to hold back and let a couple of us feel good about our performance.
– <@U079NTF8AP8> is more of a 3 sets of 10 guy.
– <@U087GQFA2FJ> was the WarBaby today and held his own with a bunch of guys that are old enough to be his dad…

This is my report. You could dress it up like Baby Yoda and take it trick or treating in July, but it still wouldn’t get more strange looks than you would if you dispute the truth imbued herein.

Q-School Jan 2025

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yes, and kept us close cause FTC showed up at 5:22am. This happens when there’s more ice on vehicles. If you’re gonna run off, do it knowing that a guy could show up late and you’d be leaving him.
THE THANG: Mosey with some work and some discussion. The 1st F is about Fitness not exercise. So, it matters less what exercise you call and more that you do it well with vigor.

YHC set up 4 corners, but had the PAX call an exercise and mode of transport. The point is, it doesn’t matter what we do, but the consistency and intensity with which we do it. Don’t get so caught up in Qing the hardest or craziest stuff (not that there’s anything wrong with that if you can dem oit), but that isn’t the most importnt thing.

We covered some more ground. Did some bulgarian split squat. Did some wall sitting and chatting with a burpee line.

Got to the band practice lot and had some PAX call cadence. Quite a few of the newer PAX here are ready to Q! The Pirate in particular called well in cadence, and he had a Q on the books for Friday at Stockade. However, I neglected to mention that you should SHOW UP to the AO you’ve agreed to Q. So, he of course fartsacked through that Q. Oh well, better luck next time.

NM:: Topics discussed included WHY:
– the early gloom
– cause if not then, it ain’t gonna happen
– starts the day up 1-0
– makes you intentional the night before
– workouts need to be hard
– increases vulnerability if you’ve been humbled
– intensity and consistency matter
– push don’t settle
– men don’t show up for easy
– lead in a rotating fashion
– This is a leadership development organization
– If the same guys lead ALL THE TIME, that doesn’t develop leaders
– we practice leadership like lawyers practice law. and we’re always getting better
– outside in the elements
– #1 helps keep it free
– we have to overcome the circumstances of our environment
– test of your resolve
– You committing and posting in the wet/cold tells the Q and other men that they matter more to you than temporary discomfort
– It’s Fitness over specific Exercises
– Do the work, don’t fret about everything being unique
– Consistency is more important that innovation
Encouragement was given to
– lean into COT
– if you’re not accelerating in your 2nd and 3rd, you’re missing the point. Make it habit of preparing to share something briefly at COT. Your sharing allows another man to break his own wall and be willing to share
– Share your failures. If you aren’t failing, are you really trying?
