1 for EBS
Conditions: High 50’s, clear, and perfect for a beatdown
WARMUP: Stretching, Abe Vigotas (10 IC), Merkins (10 SC), SSH (16 IC), WGS
THE THANG: The Q had been discussing the idea and characteristics of confidence and a confident person to his 2.0. Also, the Q had been reflecting on the intangible qualities he has learn, honed, or gain since coming to F3. Confidence is at the top of that list.
An idea echoed the Q’s head, Confidence is what we offer each man in our group, when they join, we meet them where they are at, than we give them the confidence through leadership, through failing, learning, failing, learning, and through loving correction. It is this confidence that invigorates male community leadership. The Q was going to try to captures these concepts and build upon them during the beatdown.
Mosey to one side of the cirlce lot:
Thang 1: A few characteristics of a confident man are
avoid comparisons with others
help people
ask for help from others
These concepts sounded will DORA if the Q every heard anything.
The PAX partnered up, with the Q being odd man out and going singleton.
Round 1: 100 Merkins/ Travel is Sprint
Round 2: 150 Squats/ Travel is BearCrawl
Round 3: 200 SSH/ Travel is Lunge walk
Mosey to the other side of the circle parking lot (in the grass)
Thang 2: This part was an experiment by the Q, while the ideas and motivation behind it seems pure the outcome was put pain; which is the goal!
Characteristics of a confident him
ownership of mistakes
actively listen to others
ask for help
help others
receive constructive criticism
offer constructive criticism
The Q picked an exercise the PAX were vaguely familar with. This exercise was a Plank Destroyer; which is a 12 count in cadence. The idea was each PAX would get an opportunity to perform as the lead and count cadendnce for a Plank Destroyer. We were do a ladders, so start with one, mosey around the circle, new PAX Q do 2 Plank Destroyers then mosey around the circle, than a new PAX Q’s does 3 Plan Destroyers then mosey around the circle, so on and so forth until each PAX gets the opportunity to lead. The hope for the Q was each PAX would get the opportunity to learn, fail, critic/help or be critiqued/helped. Plus 28 Plank Destroyers and 7 moseys’s around the circle are humbling for all involved.
Thang 2 took longer than expected, but it played out perfectly.
MARY: Instead of Round of Mary being Abs, the Q wanted to support the 1st F Q’s new prerogative and a round of stretching Mary. Cat and Cow, Downward Dog, Calf Stretch
