Monday Reflections

AO: Badapple

When: 2025-03-24

QIC: Goose

PAX (13): Buckshot, Clickbait, MillerTime, No-See-Um, PushBack, Rusty, Sprocket, Sweep3r, Tank, The_OG Zima, The_Real Chubbs, Turbine

Preamble:

Told PAX to bring a coupon and watch for weather updates as it looked rough.  Ended up being a great pocket of clear weather so we started at normal spot!

Warm-O-Rama:

Standard disclaimer ....although it's been awhile since YHC led a Q so, in retrospect, not a very thorough one.  Any late breaking claims against any entities, including me, revert to blaming @Rusty per Badapple standard procedure. SSH, Copperhead squats, Sun Gods, Michael Phelps, Weed Picker, Mosey a lap, then stretch calves/achilles

The Thang:

  1. To the song "We Pray" by Coldplay, PAX would listen for the word "pray" and execute the prescribed exercise until the Q switched the exercise:
--Start in plank and do merkin (@ "pray"); then air squat to a jump squat; then shoulder taps to a Peter Parker 2.  Partner up: while Partner A performs the exercise(s), Partner B did a basketball shuffle to the light, then Bernie Sanders to the end of parking lot, then BB shuffle to light/Bernie back to start.  All exercises with coupon if PAX able and Alpha count where applicable. Partner B now continues the rep count while Partner A does the "road work" Planned 150 each of Thrusters, V-Ups, and Lt Dans; Q-modified to 125, 125, 75 Any group that completed the reps first, did the shuffle/Bernie for the 6. 3. Next round: With time burning, Q modified to 100 reps each of: Overhead press, Step-ups (Beta), Curls, Skull crushers while partner bear crawled to light, then jogged to end, jogged to light, and bear crawled to relieve partner and continue count.

COT:

Food & drink today at 4:30-ish at The Bound. YHC shared that this week in March is always one of strong reflection, gratitude and owning my mortality given a tight series of grave events that occurred during this week across a couple different years.  Had meant to dive further into how we all are mortal and have an obligation to our families to help them be able to continue on in numerous ways if something happened to us, but YHC had been talking enough already and didn't want to provoke the weather gods so I just muttered something about life insurance and started the prayer :).....just know there was more to that train of thought!

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Felt amazing to lead this group of men after a bit of a drought.  What i forgot to mention was that today was yet another momentous day in this week of March--my 3 year F3 anniversary!!  You all have changed my life in so many positive ways and looking forward to continuing to grow as a leader and person!
