Meathead Gear

Date: 2026-02-25 AO: Meathead Q: Pepsi , PAX: Pepsi, MARTA, Toto, Emoji, Unplugged, Blanks, Uncle Leo FNGs: None COUNT: 7 WARMUP: the temperature was OK, but the wind was brutal. Toto had a good idea to make a windscreen out of the cars but Emoji completely failed in the execution. Warm up was SSH, Unplugged sprinklers, arm, circles, and a little free time to work out whatever you needed to. THE THANG: Set A – 6 reps of chest presses, followed by 6 reps of lawnmower rows on each side. Rinse and repeat for 25 minutes. Minor revolt at 20 minutes so we cut it short. Set B – 6 reps of high pulls on each side for 5 minutes Set C- Suitcase carry on each side for 1 minute, moving into Rack carry each side for 1 minute. MARY: LBC’s and Box cutters ANNOUNCEMENTS: several upcoming events, Q training and Sacs challenge. COT: I shared a meaningful take away from a book I’m reading. We cannot live beyond the identity we have embraced.
So, I challenged each of the men to think about how they identify themselves. Does your identity come from your job (it can go away), from your health (it can change), from your bank account (it can go away)? If you are grounded in your true identity as a loved Son of God, that will not change.

We spent much of our time on our knees so Alf was naturally comfortable with the workout.

Rachel seems to be intentionally slowing down to spend more time with the civilians. He would crush the bear crawl and then wait for us…we actually had a chance to talk to him today. Did anyone else know he met his wife on a ferris wheel?
Great day – as always.
