24 PAX including 5 FNGs and 4 Willy Lomans from all over the country posted for the final workout of the year with the men of 4:13 Strong. These men are will start new jobs next week (6 out of 10 already started!), so YHC wanted to send them off with a special workout highlighting the Leadership Characteristics known as “the 5 C’s.”
QIC: Princess Aurora, Toga
PAX: CAPSLOCK, Red Skull, Jersey Money, Big Ticket, Bruh Bruh, Teddy, Fallout, Life Champ, Biscuit, Tool Time, Straight Pipe (FNG), PewPew (Louisville), Scuba Steve (Louisville), Olaf (Dallas), Flo Jo (Louisville), Cargo (FNG), Paradise (FNG), Naked & Afraid (FNG), Fungi (FNG), Casual Friday, Stranger, Joey Freshwater
THE THANG:
Toga kicked things off with a masterfully presented disclaimer followed by a brief mosey and warm-o-rama consisting of:
- Imperial Walkers
- Hillbillies
- Good Mornings
- LBACs
- Mountain Climbers
- Scorpions
YHC took over for today’s lesson in the 5 C’s. PAX were divided into groups of three and we moseyed over to the baseball field to get started.
- Candor: being open and honest; frank
– P1 performs max Merkins, P2 performs max Jump Lunges, P3 rests and critiques form, doesn’t allow team members to slack. Call outs were encouraged.
- Commitment: being dedicated to your group and to the mission
– P1 holds Air Chair, P2 performs SSH x 100, P3 performs 4ct FKs x 50. If P1 breaks Air Chair before others finish, add 20 to rep count. Rotate through.
- Contentment: consistent attitude
– Suicides for 8′.
- Courage: strength in the face of pain or fear
– Block Webb (1 Merkin, 2 Block Presses, 2 Merkins, 4 Block Presses…5 Merkins, 10 Block Presses, back down to 1). Finished with a nice surprise of 5 and 10 again.
- Competence: the ability to do something successfully or efficiently
– Mary led by each of the PAX using proper cadence. We got through all of the 4:13 guys as well as some FNGs who all performed wonderfully in the moment.
MOLESKINE:
It was great to have PewPew and his conference buddies in tow. F3 Louisville is doing big things, so big that they’re taking over Nashville apparently. As the FNGs return to their respective cities, I hope they will find a way to continue giving it away in their own communities.
BULLHORN:
- Next 4:13 class begins in January, so no more The Stronghold for 2018. Talk to Red Skull to learn how you can continue to support them in other ways.
- 4th Anniversary Convergence and Q School on 9/29 at Stonewall. BE THERE.
- Ironclad is wrapping up in a week! Hope to patch you all!
PA out.
