At 5:15, YHC (rocking a fresh mustache and his signature shades) welcomed the PAX to the Bell Tower and recited the 5 core principles, mission statement, credo, and disclaimer. Some had made the comment that it was the quickest opening sequence in recent memory. I think I nailed it; we were going to need all the time to complete this workout.
Disclaimer: I am not a professional, modify as necessary. The exercises are simply a suggestion.

Thang:
YHC choose a workout called “The Gross” because he is the Site Q at an AO at Gross high school. The workout consisted of 12 exercises with 12 reps and then running 1 Lap. The hope was to reach 12 laps. 144 reps = Gross. Multiple pax got to pick an exercise. Most PAX ended with 12 laps and 3+ miles. We had lots of modifications, but that is the beauty of this workout. Lots of variety of exercises and tons of mumblechatter. Korver choose frozen Freddy’s and this instigated a very significant bean release from Low Flow. He did not “Plug it”, so bless you sir! Stranglehold, G-String, and Simmons went all out on the last lap and had a mini race. Stranglehold finished first, but G string was not far behind. Running out of time, but still wanting to try some new Farva beans we went right into it. This version was inspired by Animal House’s favorite “Cut-A-Flip”. We did 5 Farva beans (IC) and would switch directions as we went around the circle with each PAX member counting. With 17 HIM, it was very challenging. Do Hard Things!!

COT:
I often struggle with change and getting out of my normal routines. Even though I know that I have previously experienced embracing new things and that it has led to good life changes. F3 being a great example of a change that has made myself an all-around better man. I experienced this again a couple weeks ago when I finally decided to switch to an outer carrier ballistic vest at work. I had the vest for about a year but keep making excuses on why I didn’t make the switch. It was hard to change a routine I had for over twenty years. But like all other big changes, eventually you adapt, see the positive, and even probably regret not making the change sooner. I challenge you to make a change that you have been putting off because of a fear of losing your comfortable routine because more than likely you know you need it.
