Partner Pyramid of Pain

Good Mornings, Abe Vigodas, Michael Phelps, Tantrums, Stir the Coffee, Franken Walks

• PAX moseyed to the pain shed. Each PAX grabbed a coupon and 2 bricks and then we partnered up
• We had 6 exercises. 1 partner would do the reps while the other partner rested. Rep counts started at 2 and increased by 2 reps all the way to 10 and then back down (2,4,6,8,10,8,6,4,2).
• After we completed the pyramid for each exercise, we ran a lap around the parking lot
• 6 Exercises:
• Block merkins (1 hand on block, one on ground)
• BBSU (held bricks in each hand for extra weight)
• Overhead Press (with coupon)
• Coupon Squat
• Coupon Curls (done eccentrically)
• Dips (bricks resting on you lap for extra weight)
• Total mileage ran = 1.25 miles
• Ended with 15 heals to heaven->CLEAR

• Matthew 5:9 – “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
• Thanksgiving and the holidays have been on my heart the last week or so. I have been asking myself the following question: “What does a good Thanksgiving look like?” and “What can I do to help make this happen?”
• Many families deal with conflict, brokenness, and some level of dysfunction…mine is no exception. I read Matthew 5:9, and challenge myself, how can I actively enter into the holidays with humility to help reconcile any family conflict, or to help deepen family relationships. How can I listen better and love better…. what should I say or not say, that will bless others?
• As we reflect on the loss of @Waddles friend, we reminded each other that we don’t know how many more family gatherings we may have and people may be struggling on the inside with something very serious.  This Thanksgiving my prayer is that we take time to engage, love, and affirm those in our families.
• Take some time over the next couple of days to think about “What does a good Thanksgiving look like.”
