Q3.10 Consistency
Why do complex men often lead simple lives?
Simplicity is the foundation of consistency. A virtuous leader simplifies the aspects of his life that are under his direct control – put as much on auto pilot as possible.
THE THANG:
Ran to the playground and did a form of 21-gun salute.
21-gun salute:
* Run a lap
* 21 Merkins
* 21 Hillbilly Squats
* 21 LBCs IC
* 21 MCs IC
* 21 American hammers IC
How can a man keep from going off the rails?
Strong routines are the framework for consistency. A brick is a singular positive habit that is advantageous to the individual. Several bricks together form a routine and create the basis for a Guardrail. Guardrails protect the man from the Flux.
Ran to rear parking lot of elementary school, shoulder taps for the 6.
PAX agreed to do the next sequence in descending order, so we did all of the exercises listed below, ran a lap aroudn the parking lot, and then removed the exercise with the most reps before repeating the list. All reps were completed.
1 burpee
2 bomb jacks
3 merkins
4 jumping lunges (2 each leg)
5 Bobby Hurley’s
6 Sumo squats
7 Carolina Dry Docks
8 lunges (4 each leg)
9 monkey humpers
10 squats
How can a man learn to be more consistent?
The Virtuous Leader focuses on bandwidth, not perfection. There will always be fluctuation. Knowing this, the Virtuous Leader Accelerates his Consistency by focusing on the bandwidth of his fluctuation rather than perfection. His objective is to reduce the distance between his peaks and valleys to something so small that only he can see it.
