COT: The Parable of the Sower, the Seeds and the Tares (taken from the Gospel not the 80s fiction novel) SEEDS nevertheless “take root” among Weeds…like our Faith Other important takeaways from this beautiful portait–
1. Be present and engaged with the world (landscape is always changing)
2. Be tolerant (is not our job to root out evil) but also be steadfast in your faith and principles (amid the weeds)
3. Be ready for the harvest (ply your skills…do not forget to stay sharp…do not neglect your own value that you bring to the world)

COT: YHC reflected on the meaning and purpose of F3 counting, which is to, among other things, give PAX consistency between AOs and regions, and to assure expectations on how the reps will work. Today’s workout included some partnered tick tock exercises IC. This was a mental challenge for YHC to keep count and to keep track of which partner was doing the exercise and/or counting. Lesson for YHC is to be more flexible with different styles of Q-ing, to do more mental gymnastics, and not become completely dependent on rigid and established habits that can prevent HIMs from acceleration and growth. In short: push into discomfort. Thank you, men!

delphi EMOM Team Building

Date: 2024-04-23
AO: delphi
Q: Pop Fly
PAX: Nano, Blue Steel, Crop Duster, Monte Karlo, K-Pop, Juneau, Mounthe, Peanuts, Megatron, Candles FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
WARMUP: SSHs, Squats, Merkins, Lunges, WMHs, WGS

THE THANG:
Pax broke into 2 teams.
The Work:
– 50 Hand Release Merkins
– 100 OH Press with block
– 150 Squats with block
– 200 Situps with block
– 250 Side Straddle Hops
– 300 Calf Raises

When the EMOM timer went off, all pax had to do 2 Burpees…. Except 1 teammate who had to run to the 50yd line and back

When one team member hit the final rep, all Pax were allowed to move onto the next exercise. This was an individual challenge done as a team. Your reps are your reps and it’s not cumulative as a group.

The Pax made it to 30 rounds before time was called.

MARY: Done during the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence on 1 June

COT: The Q reminded the group, that we all have mastered the art of the free work outs. That’s the 1st F. It’s time to do the part where we give back to the group. These are the 2nd and 3rd F events. These are the things that allow us to grow as an organization.
