Solid crew this morning, I could tell everyone was working hard and getting in good reps. Props to O.G. and Lights Out for wearing there weight vests on this one. I did think about wearing mine, but when I realized I knew the mileage I was running this morning I took a pass lol. The vest does make running a lot more challenging. I could tell big difference today vs Tuesday. To no surprise PacRat did sneak in his burpee’s. HHH and Campbells were solid per usual.
Thank you all for coming out this morning and posting. Really grateful for the support and fellowship of this group. Enjoyed post game conversations at Dunkin too. Appreciate the opportunity to lead and until next time, Mufasa.

It felt like 60° out there today. I changed after a few prerunning laps with Peyton. I am glad I did because the workout had me sweating. We were able to finish right at 0800. The Tysons got hard during round 3. The sand made the carries a lot more difficult.
I have to keep it short today because I have a lot of spring cleaning to do. Great work by all of you this morning.
Loved seeing OG and Spur at Coffee. I am glad they got the message and came to Great Harvest.
It is a new month. Time to get after it. SYITG!

This workout didn’t seem too bad on paper, but it definitely got the heart rate up if you were wearing a weight vest. The bricks got heavy fast. Wanted to do 3 rounds when we circled up, but time and energy played a factor in that.
I typically like to have more running in my WODs, but with a vest on, I opted to just keep moving. We didn’t finish the 150 Front to Lateral Raises, but I think the lead group was around 80.
Tomorrow brings a new month, a new challenge, and an opportunity to recommit to healthy habits. Post to hold yourself accountable. Discipline takes work Fartsacking is letting the Devil win. I am not saying to not listen to your body; I just want you to post as often as you can and to do what you can while you are there.
I love this group and all the men in it. I enjoy Qing and appreciate you for following my lead. I look forward to working out with you men each time I post. Hope to see you all on Saturday!
SYITG,

CIRCLE OF TRUST (COT) ⭕
The Message: “Why do we fall? So, we can learn to pick ourselves back up.” Life isn’t about the absence of failure; it’s about the presence of resilience. Today we fell into those merkins and struggled with those blocks, but every single time, we pushed back up. That’s the “High Impact” man’s way. We don’t just stay down; we learn, we adjust, and we rise stronger for the next rep.
