Introduction
Q sheet was looking sparse so I picked up ONE Q this week. Always a pleasure to Q at the home base of Iron Lion.
The plan was to put together a Q that would avoid the frost covered fields, get some lifting in, but also keep everyone warm as it was very cold this morning. So lets sprinkle in some runs with the lifting.

“Climbing Nakatomi Plaza”
Anyone know how many floors were in Nakatomi Plaza? 35. The goal is to try and get up as many floors as possible before 6AM
Starting with the first floor (one rep of each exercise), then a 100 run. Then add a rep per exercise for the next floor, with the 100 yard run being a constant.
Lets see how many floors we can get up.
Exercises
- Coupon Bent over rows
- Coupon Overhead Press
- Coupon Chest Press
- Big Boy sit ups
- Air squats
Got to Floor 17 before 6AM
153 reps of each exercise. Plus just over a mile run in total.
Circle of Trust
CoT is about being thankful, grateful and PROUD.
During this time of year there are a lot of CoTs about being thankful and grateful . . . and very rightly so. We should be grateful for all the blessings in our lives, and thankful for everything that we have. We are all very blessed.
But also be PROUD of yourselves as you reflect on the last two years. Be proud of the challenges you have overcome, and adversity you have faced down. It has been an incredibly stressful and draining pandemic that none of us have a guidebook to help us get through. Be PROUD of your strength as you lead your households and families. Be proud of yourself as you continue to forge a path in your career. Be proud of your own growth as leaders of men. I’m proud of each and every one of you and I’ll continue to keep chasing y’all every morning.

- Sulley- Excellent job as site Q as always!
- Flight Deck- Great meeting you this morning, and fantastic job!
- Riunite- As usual, leading from the front on the runs. I just cant change directions as effortlessly as you can!
- Mellencamp- Always as pleasure seeing you ITG. It was fun having Sulley chime in as we were discussing how many times Ive Qed at Iron Lion (40 I think . .) and him saying “and you’e been at all of them Mellencamp!” Abominable will be a fun weekend!!
- Super 8- Great to see you out ITG again! Sorry for the bit of running . . . I hope the legs are healing up.
- Daisy- You are low key one of the tougher guys in F-3. Doesnt matter what workout it is, you are always leading from the front. We are all stronger with a stud like you to chase ITG.
