COT: Ask for help. As men, a lot of times we think “I got this” and a lot of times we “don’t got this”. Don’t be shy about asking for help. Today’s workout was rather complex, and I needed help. I asked for it and there was no shortage of HIMs willing and able to pitch in. Thank you. P.S. I will NEVER ask for directions. I know EXACTLY where I am going.
