The Thang

Easy as 1, 2, 3: PAX complete the following exercises OYO, in this order moseying to the next corner and adding 1 rep to each exercise sequentially. Pick up 6 or wall sit, plank until all PAX complete each floor. Then mosey up stairs together and pick up the reps count where the previous floor left off.

Mary

Captain Thor: 1:4 ration of Leg Lifts:Penguin Crunches (IC). The PAX made it to 4:16.

COT

Ephesians 6:4—Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and instruction of the Lord.

  • YHC talked about how he has recognized a tendency in himself to react in anger to legitimately frustrating situations, particularly with his kids, and how this has the opposite of the intended result, at least long term.
  • Reminded him of this verse (applicable to any relationship of authority, not just parent-child), where the encouragement is to not provoke anger, but to consider how the way we react and act toward others shapes them and forms them.

Moleskin

  • Imperial Squats are a new fave of YHC and Joker. Mike Tysons, notsomuch, so they stayed away.
  • As expected, the HR Merkins were the monkey wrench for Easy as 1, 2, 3
  • Bachelor Pad was showing up the rest of the PAX. He even modified back to IC for the last floor and was still waiting on the rest.
  • Easy as 1, 2, 3 did not lend itself well to mumble chatter, but there was a bit about how future archeologically digs will draw mistaken conclusions from present-day laziness, and how Ferguson Enterprises office space optimization could use some improvement.
