Introduction
This workout was loosely based off of some version of Hell that Coldcuts put us through back in January or so. My plan was for this workout to completely suck. As you all keep telling me…we don’t get up for easy! Homework was to walk off and mark 25 yards, 50 yards, 75 yards, and 100 yards from your garage. Those who can’t run modified with SSH’s, Jump Rope, and/or Rocky Balboas.

The Thang
First we did what I called Thang .5 – This was basically a demonstration / warm-up for the four exercises that I planned on using during the main Thang.
Exercises are labeled A, B, C, and D.
A – Merkin on your coupon (Irkin?) x 10 – 25 yard run and back
B – Coupon Curl while holding low Squat – x 10 – 25 yard run and back
C – Big Boys with Coupon Overhead x 10 – 25 yard run and back
D – Blockees x 10 – 25 yard run and back
Thang 1 – Main Thang
All runs were “Out and Back”
25 yard run and back (yd) – 20 reps of A – SSH for 6.
50 yd – 20 reps of B, 25 yd – 20 reps of A – SSH for 6.
75 yd- 20 reps of C, 50 yd – 20 reps of B, 25 yd – 20 reps of A – SSH for 6.

We had a little extra time so we did a ring of fire for two exercises.
PAX held coupon at 90 degrees while we took turns burning out 15 curls.
PAX held coupon overhead “Kusak” while we took turns doing 10 OH Press.

Circle of Trust
My message started by telling PAX that this is one of the toughest parts of Qing for me. What could I possibly say to a group of HIM’s who are clearly already highly motivated, strong willed, and generally just a good group of men? The only thing I could really think of which was something that hit me a lot last night was; be considerate of other people’s opinions. While we may not always agree with everyone out there has to say, it goes a long way for you to stop and think to yourself that maybe, just maybe, there is a reason or some sort of logic to their thought process of the way they arrived to their given conclusions. In our current state of the world, there are MANY different opinions circulating out there. People react differently to information. People perceive things differently, and people will respond differently. The main thing is to stay true to yourself, do what is best for you, your family, your support group. Not everyone is always going to think the same way as you do and rather than respond in haste, take a deep breath, give consideration to the fact that they may possibly be going through something that is having them react in their own way, and just move on. Social media makes it very easy to everyone to have a voice out there, whether we agree with it or not. If all else fails, just keep on scrolling!
We prayed for TPS Report’s two brother-in-laws, sister-in-law, and cousin who are all in the front lines. I also asked for continued prayers for my family that has tested positive. While they are having their ups and downs over the last few days, they have been able to stay home (versus the hospital) and I hope that they continue down the road to a full recovery.
Naked Man Moleskin
57 was my football number back in the day. Given that it was also May 7th (5/7) I figured I had to work it in somehow. As I was writing the workout, I quickly realized it would not be the rep count during our exercises! So…Mary it is.
Thanks to this outstanding group of men, I was frequently the 6 and probably only performed about 6 or 7 SSH’s. Thanks for the push guys! Appreciate you having my 6 Dilly Dilly.
