Falling Sand

The Thang:

Mosey to back parking lot
5 rounds
10 deadlifts
10 hang cleans
10 squats
10 OH press

10 sandbag burpee complexes

Move to field
50yd bear crawl sandbag pull down
50yd sandbag toss back

Partner up
P1 50yd double farmer carry
P2 Sumo Yoga low squat arms OH

P1 double ruck carry
P2 Superman hold

P1 low plank w ruck
P2 100yd run

Moleskin: YHC busts another filler bag, easily shedding 10 points of sand in the final 15 minutes of the workout. Maximus represented the “still wearing shorts in February” club before flying off to warmer weather today. PETA was recovering from the death flu and still put in the work. Sprocket was alone in his thoughts on the field but is always chatty when humping weight. And, last but not least, Spider-Man served up a web of mumble chatter and groaning when it came to sandbag complexes and bear crawl drags – I kinda like it.
Always a pleasure – Solo

Welcome to my TED Talk

Disclaimer disclaimed
Valentine’s Day Eve – Accelerating the M requires both Skill and Love. Just like our fitness, relationships are either Accelerating or Decelerating, Aye?
If you think you are “Maintaining” your relationship, you are actually Decelerating.

Mosey to WEP Stage
The Culture is a Jester
• Our culture likes to present marriage as easy, but a HIM knows virtue takes work, and thus marriage will take work.
Warm Up
20 SSH IC
10 Windmills IC
10 LSS IC
Al Gore w/ 10 MNC IC
11 Hill Billy Walkers IC
Yoga?

There is NO 50 Yard Line
• Halfway is not good enough when it comes to the M. An Accelerating HIM will go the length of the field for his M.

The Thang – Pearls on a String became chase Maximus (and Clickbait and Poppins, with Band Camp on form patrol) around the WEP loop, at each swing, do the following:
10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Flying Squirrels

Your Wife is NOT Your Best Friend
• She is made for a much higher purpose, put her on the pedestal alone.

Mosey to Pike Entrance
7s of Derkins and Bomb Jax
7s of Step Ups and Dips
Mosey to Pike Wall
Wall Sits and Burpee Waterfall

Joy Trumps Happiness
• Happiness is a transitory positive feeling
• Joy is a permanent state of hopeful satisfaction
• A healthy and vital M is a lifetime pursuit

Mary – Flutters until 0600

Marriage requires Proximity and Purpose. It transforms a man from a selfish Happiness-junkie into a selfless Joy-seeker. The HIM knows if he fails at his M, nothing else he does will matter.

Announcements: Q-Source after this. D2D celebration on 3/2
COT: stays in COT
