Funhouse sendoff at the Pond

WARMUP: ran to Hardee’s, did SSH, planked, ran more. Ran down to city hall building.
THE THANG: 2 exercises at the city hall building, ran down to 4 way stop for 1 burpee (added 1 burpee each time we passed it, then up the hill to the parking lot for the same 2 exercises.

10 pushups (change pushups each time between diamonds, ranger, regular) and 10 double count flutters.

Last added part was to try and push your way up the hills just so you weren’t dialing it in.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: CSPAN style positive vibes to Funhouse!
COT: like all of us when we’re in the flux, we go up and down just like the hills we ran today. Sometimes easier going down the hill, but that push and pull from another guy, and that guy to lean on and talk to when you need it, that’s the goal of leaving no man behind!

4 Corners at the Sink

Fall weather is upon us with morning temps around 57 degrees and ready to work. YHC was excited for my VQ at the Kitchen Sink thanks to Farmers Only. I have a tendency to get stuck in a rut attending the same workouts each week and this call out introduced me to a new opportunity.

I prepped by reviewing previous backblasts and Q Source. I wanted to incorporate a leadership lesson into the Q and settled on the 4 corners of the school which matched the 4 Quadrants of Q Source.

WARMUP:

20 SSH
10 IW
20 Mtn Climbers

THE THANG:

Round 1
Starting at the corner of the school
5 Man Makers
10 Rows
15 Curls
20 Flutter IC
Shuffle to next corner then rinse and repeat

Round 2
10 Shoulder Taps
10 Lunges
15 Squats
20 LBCs IC

At each corner, we discussed a Quadrant from Q Source

Get Right
– A man cannot Get Right by himself
– You are maintaining your fitness for reasons outside of yourself

Live Right
– A HIM influences through word and deed
– A habit can be positive, negative or neutral

Lead Right
– Leadership is influencing movement towards advantage
– Candor is graciously telling the hard truth and demanding it from others

Leave Right
– Legacy is constructed through the HIMs ability to develop Virtuous Leaders
– Failure is a wonderful teacher but only if you can take the pain from it

COT:

Continued prayers for victims of Helene
Prayers for residents of Florida in the path of Milton
