Introduction
We said hello and split into 1s and 2s.
Warm-O-Rama
Ppssshhhh, most of these bosses did EC so we started rolling right away.
The Thang
We donned our ruck sacks and/or weighted vest in the beginning and we never took it off.
Thang One: One group at the started doing squats with heavy sandbags. The second group started rucking up the hill, at the top of the hill they did 10 squats. After their squats they came down and switched out with the heavy sandbag guys. Rinse and repeat
Thang Two: 30 yard X 30 yard square. Side 1 – Lunges Side 2 – Left leg leading lateral lunges. Side 3 – Back Pedal. Side 4 – Right leg leading lateral lunges. Rinse and repeat
Thang Three: Deck of cards (everyone took turns drawing a card and leading cadence) – Spades and Clubs – deep squats, ass touches coupon. Hearts and Diamonds – Front squats with coupon as weight. We used a special deck of cards, all cards 2 – 8 were missing. J=11, Q=12, K=13, A=14.
Circle of Trust
Quick talk about leadership: Less me, more we. Focus on moving forward and less focus on the past.
Let me blow your mind. We are all idiots, We are all wrong. We don’t know a damn thing about the world and we don’t know a damn thing about people. I 100% mean this and I want you to believe it. Our world view is so small and so skewed. Our background, upbringing, family, and proximity to Iron Lion skew our views and experiences in the world. This is something we need to remember and we need to truly believe.
With that being said, when you are interacting with strangers, and likely judging them please remember you don’t know shit about them and what they have been through. You don’t know where they came from and what they are currently going through. Show some grace and be kind. Everyone could always use more kindness in their lives. Be humble and understand that no one has it all figured out and we are all doing our best.
Naked Man Moleskin
We had a small group and it was perfect. Everyone brought their A game and crushed it. There was no whining and minor mumblechatter as everything we did was terrible and difficult.
Today was successful because everyone came and pushed themselves. They all bought in and crushed it. I was humbled by the effort and the devotion to every exercise and every detail. There was no cheating or whining. It was a great day and one I was proud to be part of.
Keep up the good work Iron Lion.
