Bagger was on the Co-Q to protect the group from experiencing a full VQ this AM. After a mosey to the top of the Ag Center and a quick disclaimer, Bagger responded to some mumble chatter with another lap around the Ag Center for good measure and then proceeded with WOR

Partnered up for DORA 123
Partner 1 ran the distance while partner 2 performed the exercise and then swapped, building to a cumulative number of each exercise.

2nd Exercise: 200 LBCs; partner ran half way down Ag center driveway
3rd Exercise: 300 Squat Jumps: partner ran full loop up/down hill to Ag center.

Plank until all in then . . . you guessed it

NMM:
Goal today was to replicate the Qs of OBT & DREDD of GrowSchools and GrowRucks of the past. Must say, think we nailed it! Great work by Qs to explain what we do, why we do it and how we do it. Nice work by the PAX in chiming in w the MC and hard work. Probably the most Forward Leaning Rest/Listening Position/High Plank on record.
Proud to be a part of this great group of men. Thank yall for your hard work and dedication to the reinvigoration of male leadership in our communities.
If anyone knows of some small men that may need this, please a little EH on em.
Bullhorn:
Lots of great stuff going on right now…many opportunities to serve. Please reach out to me if you feel led to serve in any of the roles we mentioned this am or in any other way we would love to help.
I will get all of the GrowSchool info in one document and see about getting it on the interwebs.
YHC,
Bagger Vance

Rev Scraps Christmas

QIC: Scraps

Pax: Aristotle, Iditarod, Yosef, Nuggets O’Patty (Tclaps for posting for his 2nd straight workout), Seagull, NPR, Mr. Roboto, Noble Virus, Grohl, Schnitzel (who bounced after the Beast).

WoR: Warm up big lap with politicians, side shuffle both ways, bear crawls and crawl bears.

13 Good Mornings

Some Willie Mays Hays w arm circles
Some Imperial Walkers
Some Hillbilly’s

The remainder of this post is in Scraps own words:

(Alternative) Christmas Workout

Christmas is not about jingle bells and Santa Claus.
Its about a Divine Savior taking on flesh so he can crush the serpent and bring life to his brothers and sisters.

SOOOOOO…

We started with the Beast (6 excerices, 6 reps, 6 times- 666). Sprint 25ish yards in between. Exercises were Merkiins, Squats, Burpees, Baby Crunches, Dips, Shoulder Touches.

By the end of the exercise, we all hated the beast…and longed for a savior- MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!

We then explored the mysterious humanity & divinity of the Christ child.

“Tunnel of Love” reminded us that Jesus was physically born a human.
So, we traversed through a birth canal made up of Planking Pax.

“Bridge of Hate” (renamed Psalm 91) remind us that Jesus was lifted up and attended to by angels.
So, PAX on BACKS awkwardly passed one another down the row.

Closed with reminder that anytime humans act like God, we end up doing, at best, awkwardly. Usually it results in disaster.
Only Jesus could pull off being truly human and truly divine.

Now, we get to represent him, as humans- image bearers, ambassadors of Christ, proclaimers of gospel.
Encouraged everyone to live out that true humanity, and let Jesus handle being God.

Anything else is awkward and laughable. Its sin.
