    Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Five principles are open to all men, always free, always outdoors, always led by a member of the pax. Only you know your medical history so modify if needed. End in a circle of trust.

    Credo is leave no man behind, but leave no man where you find him.

    Workout name: Hacksaw Ridge

    Warmup: Chain Breakers 10, Potato Pickers 10, SSH 30

    The THANG:
    Partner work. Start at the flag. One partner does burpees while the other goes for a lap: commando crawl through the grass, get to the pavement and bear crawl to the blocks. Make a lap around the monument with the blocks in a farmer carry. Then run a lap around the monument go down the side hill and vault over the wall to get back on the grass and your partner drags you back. Then you switch. Second time the waiting partner does BBS. Then grab the blocks and go down the stairs in a rifle carry, 10 shoulder presses on each landing. Finish with a fireman carry from there to halfway up the hill and back.

    Intro/Welcome
    Count o rama – 14

    Warmup:
    5 Count Motivator
    Potato Pickers

    The Thang:
    Stole Thor’s Mario Kart and made my own version. Set up 10 stations around the pond. Buy in was either 15 curls or 5 Burpees and everytime a PAX went through the start had to do the curls/burpees.

    Different cards/exercises:
    Bob-omb: BBS
    Red Shell: Monkey Humpers
    Banana: Merkins
    Mushroom: SSH
    Green Shell: Squats
    Lakitu: You fell off the track! Do 5 LBCs and draw another card
    Bullet Bill: Skip 2 Checkpoints
    Piranha Plant: Go back 1 Checkpoint
    Golden Mushroom: Skip to the Next Checkpoint
    Leader Killer: Run to Start and every PAX passed must go back 1 Checkpoint
    Star: Run Ahead 2 Checkpoints and every PAX passed must go back 1 Checkpoint
    Lightning Bolt: Yell Burpees! All PAX do 5 Burpees then finish the exercise they were on, you skip to next checkpoint.

    Fun was had by all, except Purdy misreading the Star Card and making everyone go back a checkpoint. We will run this again at different AOs!

    Due to Qs 41st birthday, finished with a 40 sec plank and then a 41 count circle merkin.

    Workout name: Leave no rucksack behind

    The THANG:

    Rucked to the Wall and back in pairs. Rotated after each discussion point. Topic was leave no rucksack behind.

    Discussions revolved around what’s in a ruck, the cost of looking away, slowing your own pace, carrying not just noticing and building a culture not a moment.

    We ended with a circle of commitment.
