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.

Mosey back to the flag and time!

MOLESKINE:
4:13 Strong is a great program for men who want to change the course of their life, but it is hard. Only 35% of the men who enroll have what it takes to complete all program requirements. A big factor to success are the relationships that our men build with other men who can show them how to handle hard things. You can make a real difference for the 4:13 Strong guys by showing up, working out with them and modeling how HIM face challenges.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
LeanPax begins on 1/5
The Stronghold is now meeting every Thursday
Struggle Prep is coming in a few short weeks
Young and Restless is the new AOQ of The Stronghold

COT:
A great turnout for our New Years Day Convergence. Thank you all for coming out to join us!

MOLESKINE:

Last weekend, my 9 year old asked if she could help me gather leaves with the backpack leaf blower. Initially I said no but she kept asking, really wanting to help. So I taught her how to use it & pointed her in the right direction while I used the rake. We ended up working together for ~30 minutes, getting a job done that would have taken me an hour. It was a really cool & unexpected moment to bond with my daughter.

Stay open to opportunities to teach a skill to your kids! (Even when you think you could get it done faster without them).
