WARMUP: Run to Lake, Cherry pickers, IW, Hillbillies, Moroccan nightclubs, Michael Phelps, down dog/greatest stretch, SSH,

THE THANG: 1 minute AMRAP gambling. I asked each PAX to bet how many [name of exercise] can you do in one minute? Start AMRAP timer. Do reps. The idea was if we fell short of the reps, we bet, we would divided the shortfall between the PAX. We never fell short, so we should’ve been higher. We ran about 50 yards up a long hill between each exercise.

COT: What’s we learned today is that we underestimate ourselves. We bet how many exercises we could do in a minute, and always made our bet. Should’ve bet higher.

CoT: The qSource this week highlights the transformative relationship between a man and a woman, emphasizing the importance of accelerating fellowship and maintaining relational rhythm. The man (referred to as HIM) focuses on his relationships with family, friends, and community, striving for dynamic equilibrium rather than static balance. The central relationship, symbolized as the “M” (relationship with the wife), is crucial for the man’s overall well-being and success in other relationships. The HIM focuses on preparedness in this aspect of his life, rejecting the idea of work-life balance, and encourages the man to invest time and effort into his marriage, fostering joy and commitment for long-term success. What can you do this week to improve your relationship with your M?
