THE THANG:
Hold It! AMRAP – as many rounds as possible
Divide up in 6 groups, about 4-6 people per group. 

There are five stations that are AMRAPs with a twist. One person in each team has to hold an exercise for as long as they can while the other 3 people are working the AMRAP. When person 1 can no longer hold the exercise, everyone completes 3 burpees. Then a new group member starts the holding exercise.

The 6th station is the time keeper, run for 6 minutes. Quickly, rotate stations at the end of 6 minute run.

  • Imperial Walkers x20

Thang: The sidewalk monster at Westeros sent YHC for a tumble Monday morning, leaving me with a bruised palm heel and tweaky wrist. As such, my Q plan was modified to stay off the hands as much as possible, which naturally led to lots of running. Altogether the pax clocked around 3.4 miles, stopping every 1/3 of a mile or so for a dealer’s choice exercise, of which 10 reps were performed. Choices included jump squats, dips, burpees, regular squats, Freddie Mercuries, scissor kicks, and some other stuff I’ve now forgotten. The last leg involved an all-you-got sprint up the hill west of the Parthenon, before convening back at JT’s statue for a quick Mary consisting of 25 Crunchy Happy Frogs.

CoT: Great to have Halpert (a paper salesman) join us as a guest from Memphis. Heard a little more from G String, our sixth man. Prayers for Bad Boy and family as they look to welcome a 2.0 in 4 weeks, give or take.

Moleskine: The leadership lesson today is that restraints, while sometimes frustrating, can provide clarity and focus. A minor injury limited my options this morning, but simple was still effective. Self-imposing restraints, even when all is well, may help with cutting through the noise and focusing on the outcome. Thanks for the opportunity, men. A pleasure as always.
