  • When: 08/15/18
  • QIC: Bada Bing

Holy humidity Batman, 17 PAX posted for what is known in the Badlands as Broga day. Lots of unfamiliar PAX faces, Biscuits and Gravy and even an FNG. Our largest turnout yet for Broga and today was a good one. Mummblechatter about the humidity, mosquitos and as always…will this be real broga or another Bada bait n’ switch. None of it matters because these PAX already strong armed their alarm clocks and said “No” to the voice in their heads telling them to stay in the fartsack. Appreciate this group for a lot of reasons. Today in particular we all embrace the suck (mosquito pun), drown in our own sweat and forget that the humidity is totally ruining our hair – that takes discipline. YHC taking a look at the dream team Q list this week, had to ramp up broga with two intentions. 1. To prove to PAX that broga is the real deal workout and 2. They’ve never felt more mobility than after a good broga sesh. YHC cranked up the 90s playlist and was glad to see Star 69 pulling into the parking lot at the alleged 0531 (debated but glad he posted). After 10 Burpees OYO penalty, YHC kicks off warmups while also trying to catch his breath and provide a perfect cadence.

Named FNG. Welcome Tighty Whiteys

Men need discipline. When we are not disciplined in one area of our lives, it seems to trickle into all areas of our lives to be undisciplined, however, when you are disciplined in one area of your life it is generally true that discipline overflows into all areas of your life. Waking up at 5am isnt easy at first but after a while it gets easier. Discipline equals freedom. 

Prayer request for Crash and family as they have to put their dog down. Also prayers for Seinfeld’s uncle who is in town. Impromptu F2 at Dicks Wings today.
