Moleskine
Week 0 of Iron Pax delivered a gut check. The Tellier WOD is no joke — if your legs weren’t on fire, you’re probably not human.
The grind of burpees, merkins, lunges, sit-ups, and squats under shuttle-run fatigue was a brutal reminder of what sacrifice feels like in the smallest of ways.
When you’re tempted to quit or wish you had music blasting to push you through, remember — those this WOD honors didn’t get the choice to quit. They leaned into the hard. We honor them by finishing the reps, staying the course, and giving all we’ve got.
Shoutouts
– :clap: <@U5CVD8D7V> & <@U0603USPHAS> – came out on top today with strong finishes.
– :fire: The Machine (<@U19FA0Q8Z>) – strictest form in the lot, ensuring every rep was to standard. No shortcuts, no compromise.
– :raised_hands: <@U01JUGK82TY> – thanks for the opportunity to lead and set the tone.
COT / Takeaway
Steadfastness doesn’t come easy. It’s built under strain, in the moments when you want to stop but don’t. Today’s work was a small reminder of the cost others paid for our freedom — and the standard we’re called to uphold in return.
Prayers
:pray: For loved ones gone too soon.
:pray: For marriages — to be strengthened and rooted in faith.
:pray: For children as they grow into adulthood.
:pray: For the grace, gratitude, and discernment to ride the highs and endure the storms.
Do the hard things. Honor the sacrifice. Be the man your community needs.

So here’s the thing, I missed a few guys. Not bc I don’t appreciate my fans, but bc I was having oxygen issues in the brain and the video evidence was maliciously destroyed.
The 4 headed monster(ish) was fantastic and went as follows
Birdcage- 5 minute run for a warm up
LTrain- bear crawls, lunges, merkins, lbc, squats, running
Cohiba- Step ups, derkins, irkins, crab walks, more running
Fogerty- burpees, bear crawl, diamond merkins, uphill, more running
Liberty Biberty- wall sits, and running, and more running
Here’s the deal, we are accelerating. We are taking the first step TODAY. I couldn’t be any happier to be taking over #Bushpit. I have ideas, you want more, I will give the people what they want. Today is a new day for me, and you, and the Wood. Show to know what I got in store for next week. #MILGA
