When we’re young, our heroes wear capes. As we age, our new heroes wear flaws, scars, and wisdom. They quietly show up, do the work, and expect no applause. Growing up isn’t about losing heroes, it’s about finding real ones.

You men are my heroes. You each have special gifts that I admire. You may not see it, but we do. Spending time in the Gloom with you men makes me better. Thank you.

Pyramid of Pain

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Circle up in the parking lot at COT for the following, all 4 count:
– 15 SSH
– 10 WM
– 15 IW
– 15 MNC
– 10 Strawberry pickers
Then mosey to the parking lot entrance on Main St by Hobo’s for…….
THE THANG:
Pyramid of Pain
Workout area is the parking lot behind Hobo’s, from entrance on Main to entrance on Clebourne. 7 exercise stations, first one right at the lot entrance on Main, each approx 25-30 yds apart, with the final station 7 at the entrance on Clebourne. Stations are:
1. 5 burpees
2. 10 cinderblock curls
3. 15 cinderblock overhead press
4. 20 LSS
5. 25 merkin
6. 30 LBC
7. 35 flutters 4 ct
Method
Start at station 1, do the exercise. Lunge walk to 2, do the exercise. Then run back to station 1. That is round 1. Repeat, but each round you add on an exercise station, doing each station, do not skip any as you progress towards each station. Lung walk to each station, then run back to starting station 1.
Rd 1
Station 1 + Station 2
Rd 2
1 + 2 + 3
Rd 3
1 + 2 + 3 + 4
And so on until you get to station 7

Everyone finished all stations. The plan was to then, after you finish station 7, do NOT run back to starting station 1, but instead cross the railroad bridge on Clebourne, then stop at the field that COT is on the opposite end of (approx 80 yards?), then bear crawl across the field to the gravel lot, then run back to starting position 1 and repeat. We ran out of time, so after we finished station 7 we just ran across the field to COT just in time for 6am.

Everyone did GREAT! Mumblechatter was excellent, humidity was off the charts, we all put in a solid effort of pain and sweat equity. I will Q this again if given the opportunity, but will skip the warmups so we can do the bear crawl to COT.

MARY: None
ANNOUNCEMENTS: A LOT going on. Read the newsletter, reach out in COTs and get involved.
COT: A lot lifted up. Do not forget to celebrate the good things, good moments in life, do not just focus on the negative or bad. Little victories. They help change the prism of how you look at things. If you only tend to focus on the bad or negative, that is all you will see. Do not let the good things slip through! Change that prism, one little victory at a time.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
