Offshore will be missed as he heads out to Oklahoma in about a month or so. And his impact on Circus Maximus will be felt long after he becomes numb to tornado warnings. His impact at Circus (from making coffee weekly, which has led to a huge increase in weekly numbers) is so immense that having only 14 men at this AO felt like a small number. This was accentuated by a lack of mumble chatter, as Attila, Fudd, White Deer and White Snake, our typically chatty Cathys, were all absent.
With fresh batteries in my speaker, I pressed play on my new rockin’ playlist, featuring the greatest rock anthems from the last 50 years, gave an introduction and a disclaimer and then we got down to business.
COP: SSHs, DQs, Deadman Hang, Reach for the Sky (w/ a calf raise), AHs, WWIIs, Merkins aaaaand recover.
The thang: We worked our way down the body: OYO, 21 Overhead press, high pulls, curls (these got forgotten during round 1, thx for keeping me on track Pinto!), swings, sumo squats, AHs (single count) and Sit ‘n’ Press. Then we took a lap around the bus loop. Then a round of 18, followed by a lap. Then 15, 12, and 9. After doing 6 of each, we did 25 SSHs and after the final round of 3, we did 5 Burpees.
Move to the curb for 10 Overhead pulls (it might be called that), 10 Bench presses and some Flutters. Repeat. 60 second leg hold -aaaaand that’s time. Well done men!
BTTF. Names. Numbers.

Congrats to Joey Chestnut for graduating high school, for Lighthouse’s son graduating 8th grade, and mine for 5th grade.
No prayer requests. Nevertheless, YHC took us out.
Moleskin: Be kind to yourself. Watch your self talk. Speak to yourself as you would a close friend. Why? Because it will help you better achieve your goals. Research supports this. This all came from a great podcast that Lighthouse shared with our Shield Lock. It’s on Emotional Regulation.

I often end BBs reminding us to go do something for someone else. Maybe today, try to be a little extra kind to yourself. That guy counts too!
SYITG!
