EVOLUTION #1

PAX count off 1-2. Team 1 and Team 2 line up facing one another. Race to do 10 burpees each PAX. Team 2 was the winner and earned the 80# sandbag while Team 1 was weak and only got the 60# sandbag (10 burpees each in EVO #1)

In a Dora fashion, a member of each team will carry their sandbag around the traffic circle at Detention, ~150′ if you stay on the outside lane. The other team members will each complete 100 reps each of aquaman, crab cakes, and chicken peckers. When the sandbag makes its way back around, the next member grabs it and goes around. Rinse and repeat until each member completes their reps.

EVOLUTION #2

PAX circle up and perform an ascending burpee with chaser ladder. The exercise is performed as follows: do your burpee, stand up – don’t jump, squat, Bonnie Blair. That’s 1 rep. Ascending ladder up to 10 for a total of 55 burpees with squat and BB chaser.

10 PAX present today @ 100 burpees each = House of 1,000 Burpees

COT

Lessons on leadership can be found anywhere. YHC learned some this past weekend at an archery instructor course. When approaching someone as the authority figure in a teaching moment, start by giving them a specific complement on something they are doing correctly, this opens the door for a productive conversation.

So happy we didn’t do duckwalks today.

    PAX partner up. In a Dora fashion, PAX 1 will stay at the exercise zone (EZ) and perform reps while PAX 2 proceed to the Duck Zone (DZ).

    EZ exercises – 250 each of Carolina Dry Docks, Blades of Steel, Angle Grinders, Crab Cakes

    The Duck Zone – PAX will bear crawl ~10 yards to a triangle of cones. At each cone they will perform 25 monkey humpers then duck walk to the next cone. Pax will also complete these when they return to cone 1 for a total of 100 monkey humpers, then crawl bear back to the EZ where they will take over reps for their partner while he enters the DZ.

    Rinse and repeat until EZ exercises are completed or time is up.

    Be careful with your actions, the people you lead are watching you. YHC broke his smart watch recently and even though he had already told M he wanted a new one for Christmas, he was tempted to run out and get a new one immediately. While financially this wasn’t a problem, he thought about what his 2.0s would think. He tries to teach them patience and to resist instant gratification, so he decided to suck it up and wait a while.

    Some pax made it to the last exercise but no one completed the round.

      Inspired by General C.B. Cates USMC, Tennessee native and 19th Commandant of the Marine Corps. Integrity is one of the most important principles of leadership. It is an uprightness of character and soundness of moral principles. Q challenges PAX to incorporate integrity into all they do in order to build leadership skills amongst our brotherhood and instill it into the next generation.
