sparta What it means to me

Date: 2024-12-13
AO: sparta
Q: Peanuts
PAX: Rambler, Obadiah, Atlas, NOAA, Dunder, Sunny
FNGs: None
COUNT: 7
WARMUP: SSH; WMH; CP; MP; LBAC; merkins; OH Press; more merkins; OH claps; DD; WGS; fellowship mosey to front of school with some squats and calf raises sprinkled in like the gingerbread crumbs on rambler’s shirt each night
THE THANG: everyone owed me 225. Did 225 with the block – a holiday mix of OH press; curls; air squats; calf raises; KBS; bent over rows; WSW; and chest press. Finished up with some pyramids, ladders, whatever you want to call them – 11s with burpees and squats with a short stroll in between. The pax were silent so they must have been in awe. MARY: no
ANNOUNCEMENTS: MABA i guess, ARC and ABAP.
COT: F3 for me is about forming relationships with each of you. The workouts are great but working to build relationships with other men is why F3 is important to me. I think about what was going on in my life when I first started coming out to the gloom and I know that F3 came on purpose at a critical moment. Each of you has had a profound impact on me. Thank you.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: January is burpee month: daily challenge of 100 burpees per day and/or regional burpee event towards the end of January
COT: Top theories per Wikipedia why Friday 13th is considered unlucky: 1. Judas was the 13th guest at the Last Supper; 2. French state crackdowns on Knights Templar Friday 13th, October 1307; 3. something about 13 Norse gods and mischief. YHC recounted the role that luck or chance has played in his life; focusing on the good luck. E.g., lucky birth country, stable family, etc. The saying that you don’t feel the wind when it’s at your back certainly applies. Focusing on your good fortune is a great way to practice gratitude and being more thankful generally. SYITG
