Just Keep Sowing

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Was a couple minutes late so Sasquatch lead the warm up with some merkins, Peter Parker’s, and broga.

THE THANG:
Jogged over to the front of the elementary school
Reps—21-15-9
Merkins and Squats

– Shared that my parents have been one of the biggest influences in my life. They’ve truly showed me what it means to love your neighbor as yourself.

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

– It’s not our responsibility to judge others and their circumstances. Some folks didn’t have a choice for the life they were born into, others just made a mistake. If you have the capacity to, help others in whatever way you can.

5 rounds, 20 reps each
Merkins, Mountain Climbers (SC), Squats

Lap around the compound (~3/4 mile)

– All we’re supposed to do is sow seeds. There are a few seeds in an apple (5-8), but how many apples can you get from a seed? Hundreds.

Reps – tel:50-40-30-20
Merkins, Big Boys, and sprints
E.g. 50 merkins, 50, big boys, 500m sprints(5 rounds of ~100m sprints)

– Just keep sowing seeds. It’s not our responsibility to ensure they grow, just to sow.

Berkshire Loop

Leave a comment

WARMUP: None – Not @ STL
THE THANG: Nine HIMs showed up ready to put in work for a Baxter-to-Berkshire loop beatdown. We took off on foot for the Berkshire loop, stopping at every stop sign to drop:
• 5 Jump Squats
• 5 Regular Squats
• 15 Merkins

:vertical_traffic_light:Those stop signs added up fast — and so did the burn.

We completed 3 total loops. The final lap brought a twist for YHC who called an audible and cut the reps to squeeze in that last lap. Strong move for max mileage but serval PAX got them in.

:straight_ruler: Distance: Just shy of 4 miles
:fire: Legs were smoked. Chests were tight. Spirits were high.
MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortose & The Hare, Bethal Men’s,
COT: Sasquatch & Spector’s Anniversary

Message of the Day
:clock4: Today is National Leave the Office Early Day.

It’s a great reminder that time is something we don’t get back.
That’s why I try to stay focused during the day—avoiding distractions like social media or unnecessary tasks—so I can truly disconnect and spend time with my family in the evenings.

I work out early in the morning before the day starts, not just for the routine, but so my evenings are open and intentional.

If we manage our time wisely during the workday, we create space for what matters most after it.
Work hard. Be efficient. And make sure your time reflects your priorities.

2025 PGA Championship – Quail Hollow

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge of Allegiance
THE THANG:
Inspired by the 2025 PGA Championship at Quail Hollow this will be a loop with 18 stops. The distance between the stops are based on the length of the holes (slightly modified down to get us 3 miles instead of the actual length of 4.3). The stops were marked with cones.
•Red = Par 4 = 4 Burpees
•Yellow = Par 3 = 20 Big Boys
•Green = Par 5 = 20 American Hammers
•Green Mile = Written on cardboard signs

We stuck together for the first 8 holes (1.25 miles) and then I turned the fast guys loose to run the remainder of the course (1.75 miles).

I didn’t hear it all, but I did hear some great mumble chatter:
– “Where’s the cart girl?” – Cyclopes
– “What’s the distance from the senior tees?” – Barry Manilow
– “There’s no such thing as a par 6, right?” – Dark Helmet

Thank you Nasa for the call.

COT:
Thank you Slapshot for your dedication and efforts as the 1st F Q!

Congratulations Bonsai and Time Machine on taking on the 1st F Q roles and to Cyclopes on assuming the LDP role. Really looking forward to seeing what you bring!

Big 5-0

Leave a comment

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.
