don’t eat so many chocolate cookies

WARMUP: 100 SSH with some blatant dance moves
THE THANG: ruck shuffling between the 4 corners of the EarthFare parking lot going over what each man’s goals are for the upcoming year. Reviewed the concept of the 8 block planning tool and each man shared some personal goals for 2023. At each corner there was an exercise performed. Single leg deadlift with weighted vest or rucksack was a crowd favorite. Burpees, squats, curb squats, merkins, ruck getups, cha-cha merkins, toe taps, lunges, cross over lunges, and some more single leg deadlift.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: Esso made a challenge to the PAX to have a plan for the first quarter of 2023. If you want to change then tell your Shieldlock and ask them to hold you accountable. It really is magical what a little accountability can do over a short period of time. Prayers for those dealing with sickness andv always for marriages. And patience during this holiday season with family.

Mississippi Mud

It was a chilly morning in The Fort, but the firey mumble chatter kept us all warm. So did the pain!

After a plethora of warmup exersices we were off for some wall work.

The Ascending Testicles (not so distant cousin to Balls to the Wall)

15 Degrees – 10 Derkins
45 Degrees – 10 Derkins
Balls to the Wall – 10 Derkins

Then a round of The Australian (aka decline mountain climbers

We then moseyed over to the track to celebrate the birthday of our beloved state Mississippi.
Fun Facts: Mississippi joined the Union as the 20th state on December 10th 1817 and gets its name from the Mississippi River, which forms its western border. Mississippi is known for being the birthplace of American blues music and is also famous for its fertile soil, which makes it an agricultural powerhouse, as well as for its catfish farming industry.

The Thang:
18 of one exercise, run half a lap around the track. Then 17 of the same exercise, and run the other half of lap (year 1817). We worked our way all the way down the list.
