Introduction
How f’ing dumb . . . 5 Qs the week after Lincoln Games. Idiot.
Please add Desperado to the website.
Well . . . Ive had enough of running for a little while, so lets do a full body beatdown. Lets move some weight!!!
Weather forecast had me a little worried, but it ended up being beautiful.
Hell . . I even went for an EC run!
PS- The clouds of gnats are brutal when going on an EC run. Almost enough to convince a man to NOT do EC runs.

TWO TONS OF FUN!!!!
Site Q and I drafted two teams. Each team had to load their coupons into mine and Riunites cars and follow us to the backside of the High School parking lot.
Each team had to push a SUV (in neutral) with 3/4 coupons in it 50 yards, then do 50 reps of an exercise.
- One PAX steers the car, which is in neutral
- 3/4 PAX push the car
- 2 PAX farmers carry 2 coupons each behind the car pushers.
- Rotate positions after each 50 yard distance traversed.
Those PAX that wanted to level up with me and use big boy coupons were welcome to do so.
Exercises are below. 50 reps of each after the car was pushed 50 yards
- Chest press
- Dark Tower chest press
- bent over rows
- Shrugs
- Curl to shoulder press (very hard)
- Lying lat pullovers
- Curls
- Dips
- walking coupon lunges, 25 each leg
- calf raises on the curb
mosey back to the flags for CoT
Do mary on your own time . . .
Circle of Trust
CoT was about teamwork. We are coming off of a brutal week of physical activity at the Lincoln Games. Everyone pushed themselves past their comfort zone and achieved things they may not have thought were possible. But these things could not be achieved without the support and encouragement from our teammates. I saw groups of 15-20 men going for early rucks and runs everyday, and the brotherhood of F-3 on full display. We are stronger together . . and we need to continue to build each other up and support them. Whether its doing a team-based BC like today, or just circling back for the 6 to support them, teamwork is a key function of our organization. Dont lose sight of that! We are stronger together, and stronger when we build each other up.

Random observations from today
- The gnats are starting to really suck. Ate more than a few on my EC run today.
- Mr Belding and Riunite were doing an EC run today. Someone tell them that the Lincoln Games are over.
- Sputnik has guns like a freaking battleship.
- Mr. Nice Guy pushed himself out of a comfort zone and used a big boy. Respect respect!!!
- Great meeting Desperado today!
- Baby wipes has extremely strong calves.
- Bongo quietly was throwing a big boy coupon around like it was nothing
- Sulley is getting very chippy with the mumblechatter. Its awesome.
- Mr Belding is a freaking tank.
- If Riunite turns sideways you cant see him anymore. He has completed the most impressive physique change over the last year that I have ever witnessed. almost 70 pounds lost?!?!?!?
- Mellencamp specifically came out before going out for a short vacation. Definite dedication here!!
- Speaker City is going to tear knee tendons with his lunges. Its worrisome.
- Cousin Eddie usually does shrugs with two coupons instead of one. I apologize for such a light workout Cousin Eddie.
- Nosejob just puts his head down and puts in the work day after day. We also learned that Nosejob likes to hold his foot on the brake when we are pushing the car. That makes it very difficult Nosejob . . . notes for next time.
- “Starbucks” at cafe di moda either did “locks of love” or lost a bet . . . . the man got a very short haircut.
- NOTE TO SELF. Turn off the interior lights when doing this Q . . . otherwise your battery can die and you need a jump.
