Alright, alright…
the public shaming is heavy on the Slack channel so let’s address that first. Short Sale is guilty of spear heading a pro-backblast effort and has since been found guilty of leaving the PAX hanging on (a few) BackBlasts lately.
excuses? Nope. Invalid if YHC had one.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
YHC realizes each of us are two people.
1- Who we think we are. (Usually a unrealistically better and more wonderful person than we actually are showcased by the intentions and “good virtues” we pretend to hold in our minds)
2- Who we actually are. (Completely defined by exactly what we do. …. who we actually are)
Truth nugget; We are #2.
Own it and if you don’t like it, fix that s#!t.
So, I apologize for being a hypocrite.
with that said, it’s late but let’s do this OG backblast…
YHC planned not to post on Wednesday. YHC has been “getting it done” with work, family, etc. etc. and felt he deserved a lil’ break (he did not) YHC jumped on the Slack on Tuesday and had a message from Tatt’d Swanson about Qing OG. Well, grab the vest, bandana, and gumption, let’s do it.
warm up:
stretches and hillbillies etc.
We moseyed toward downtown and found a corner. Team up with 2 others and the “smallest” man takes one of the ruck sacks from another. Halfway around the block, the “small” man takes on another ruck sack. Mosey on around another full block and the PAX with 3 rucks gives it away to one of the other team members. Another block and the “small” guy is gifted all three rucks back again. Another full block and the rucks are given again to another team member.
in the end, the “smallest” guy did most of the work.
Back to the flag. Circles up for
COT/Prayer Requests/Announcements
WOD:
It’s ok to carry another mans bag.
We are all big, strong, smart, capable men.
We are leaders, we get things done, and we think we don’t need “help”.
————————————-
Sometimes we aren’t strong.
Sometimes we aren’t capable.
Sometimes we fall behind, get hurt, get broken and we need help.
Sometimes we are strong and we carry on with our own agendas while our brothers get left behind.
The point to this exercise is that we are all responsible for the weight we are given AND the weight our brothers carry.
When our brothers need a break. We carry their bag.
When our brothers are broken. We help carry the load.
When our brothers are weak. We take their bag on our shoulders and we KEEP MOVING FORWARD. Together.
It’s ok to take your brother’s bag.
And it’s ok to let another man help carry your bag.
—————————————
Don’t just carry what is yours when you are strong. Don’t feel you can’t ask for help when you are weak.
Thanks for reading this tardy backblast. 👊🏻
Thanks for being the men who help me to keep moving forward.
