My Bambino is still not arrived, so Big Papa on Q! Today’s theme is to push yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. You vs. You. Focus on Form>Speed.
12 PAX in Attendance: Creeper, Sterno, BarneyFievel, Typo+, ShowMe, MicDrop, Nimbus 1500, Kermit, HushPuppy, Stats, Altidore & 3D (QiC)
Stats, Altidore, Creeper (for the whole thing!), & ShowMe (Great to have you dude!) @ 5:15 for a pre-party showing with YHC doing Cindy routine (5 Pullups, 10 Merkins and 15 Squats per round). We did 7 or 8 rounds in ~10 minutes. Nimbus and Barney came in toward the end and busted out 1 or 2 good sets.

The Thang(s)
3rd Degree’s version of DIEGO: Diego (Dora the explorer’s cousin) – Similar to Dora 1, 2, 3 but just tougher… Same partner situation but the exercises were as follows:
- 50- Blockees as team, P2 Bear-crawl/crawl-bear 5 parking lengths and back
- 100- Overhead press w/ block, P2 Politician to 2nd light pole and jog back
- 150- weighted American Hammers (each side 1), Back to bear-crawl/crawl-bear
- 200- Block Curls, P2 Skanks (High jump skipping, like Mario breaking bricks) to 2nd pole, jog back
- 250- Squats w/ Block, P2 Politician to 2nd light pole and jog back
Then…
It’s kinda my thing… Bear crawl and Crawl-Bear the bridge (3 squat bonus for any stoppage)…
This is a mental game where you have to convince yourself you can do more and not quit!
Various MoM exercises were performed by Pax/Teams finishing rounds and waiting for the 6 throughout the workout today.
We did: Flutter Kix, LBCs, American Hammers, Plank progressions (High, R arm up, High, L arm up, Hip Dips both sides)
CoT/Numbers/Names
Moleskine
- 3rd F opportunity: Sterno and Altidore will make Costco runs for supplies for refugee elementary students at Tusculum schools through a NumbTucks connection. Deets to come to Venmo money to these HIMs who agreed to head up a supply purchasing run.
- 2nd F opportunity: Lunch today at San Antonio Taco Co. on 21st Ave. near Vanderbilt with Little Miss Piggy and YHC at noon.
- Shared a little about how we tend to unhelpfully compare ourselves with those around each other and “one-upmanship” is common among men. Shared a story told originally to an audience that tried to see themselves as self-righteous, about 2 men, the first of whom compared himself to his neighbor and saw how much more he did, how much better he was and felt smug and proud, while the second looked internally and saw how much he failed and needed help. The point being, the path to healing and growth comes from seeing your weaknesses, limitations and need, and then asking for help and pursuing growth. The first thinks he has arrived and needs no one, to his doom. The second realistically sees his need and receives help and grows. If you are interested in more details, hit me up and I would love to get lunch, a coffee or beer and talk more. Profoundly affected me and thought I should pass it on.
