Six Station Siege

AO: the-knoll
Q: Sooie
PAX: Juicy J, Piglet, Siri, AAA, G-string, Wolfpack, Half Lyfe, Roadkill, Pebbles, Sooie, Gold Digger, Legos, Papa Bear, Stubs, Étouffée, Eric Phillips Snapshot (Suncoast), Derby
FNGs: None
COUNT: 17
CONDITIONS: SHORTS IN JANUARY!!!

WARMUP:
– SSH
– BAC
– BBAC
– Seal Claps
– Don Quixotes
– Plank walkout
– Plank -> lunge -> one-hand sky touch thingy
– Good Mornings
– WMH OYO

THE THANG:
Having given the disclaimer and warm up, PAX counted off in by 2 and YHC handed out glow bracelets. 1’s got green (Team Qui-Gon) and 2’s got purple (Team Mace). We then misused to the field of battle where I explained the rules:
Two teams battle to control all 6 stations in a straight line (15 yards apart).
– Capture an uncontrolled station: First team to 50 combined reps of its exercise claims it.
– Hold a captured station: Leave at least 1 PAX (but max 2 defenders) doing SSH or Imperial Walkers.
– Attack: Only adjacent stations. When both teams start repping at the same station → race to 50 combined reps.
– Losers of a contested station sprint ~100 yards out-and-back to respawn.
– Scoring: 1 point when your team controls all 6 stations at once.

Stations & Exercises
1. Burpees
2. Monkey Humpers
3. Squats
4. WW2 Sit-Ups
5. Apollo Onos (speed skaters)
6. Merkins

It was absolute chaos but fun nonetheless. No idea which team won. There was much strategery. Of note: this is the fastest I’ve seen anyone do Monkey Humpers

MOLESKINE:
I spent more time thinking about the rules that I forgot to think about a moleskine. Thus a moleskine was born: don’t sweat the details so much that you lose sight of the big picture. 17 men came out for a wonderful start of 2026!

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
insane_train official launch tomorrow (1/7)! Derby has done an incredible job leading the charge and filling sandbags! Come out and support the launch of Nashville’s newest AO!

leanpax continues

COT:
Prayers lifted and coffee enjoyed.

MOLESKINE:
“Is is hardly possible for (each man) to think too often or too deeply about.. his neighbor. The load, or weight, or burden of my neighbour’s glory should be laid daily on my back, a load so heavy that only humility can carry it, and the backs of the proud will be broken. It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, it at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations.” The Weight of Glory C.S. Lewis

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
