COT: Talked about a conversation where someone called IronPax “toxic masculinity.” After completing my first IronPax, I see it the opposite way. Pushing through those brutal workouts wasn’t about ego. it was about guys bringing out the best in each other. Brotherhood helps us break through limits. That’s not toxic. that’s men making each other better :muscle:

COT: YHC loves loaded carries. The physical, mental and spiritual challenge of physically carrying a heavy burden gives YHC peace. The physical – proper loaded carries challenge the entire body, from brace to grip, core to cardio, and everything in between. Loaded carries are a simple yet effective means to building functional strength – important for us Respect guys! The mental and spiritual – YHC’s middle child suffered a setback last week. It is in these moments that YHC thinks about carrying the weight of his child’s suffering, and engaging in loaded carries (or rucking!) gives YHC a healthy outlet to experience the physical, mental and emotional weight of suffering. It is also in these moments that YHC is reminded of the saying “Pray not for a lighter load, but for a stronger back.” Thank you men for joining me in the suffering of a loaded carry beatdown this morning.
