“Expectations vs. Demands”

YHC and Wasted co-Q’d and were greeted by 12 Pax including Aquaman completing the Aquaquad today (DD at Badlands and run between AO’s).  Wasted warmed up the Pax with a mosey to the playground stopping along the way for Merkins, shoulder taps, Bobby Hurly’s, Burpees and Big Boy Sit-ups.

The message was the difference between Expectations vs Demands. In YHC’s experience expectations can just be planning a future resentment if I project the outcome in advance.  It’s okay to plan but not okay to project.

10 split squats each leg ( one leg on bench)

20 Dips

20 Derkins

Run lap around the circle back to playground.

Rinse and repeat

We then did a portion of the Miller WOD which is a workout dedicated to Medal of Honor recipient, US Army Staff Sergeant Robert J. Miller, who was killed in action on January 25, 2008.

Miller WOD ( normally 3 mile ruck before and after and 12 rounds of weighted exercises).  Pax Partnered into two groups.  One pax did the following – 6 pull-ups ( standard, chin-ups, neutral grip) while the other did 6 burpee squats.

After a ten count one pax did  6, 4 count mountain climbers while the other did 6 No handed get ups.  Rinse and repeat 3 X

To finish the playground work, we did 2 more sets of max pull-ups while partner does flutter kicks.

Mosey back to circle stopping along the way for bear crawl and lunge over bridge, wall sits at the pickle ball courts, formation run and a full sprint at the end.

6 minutes of Mary. Pax dealers choice selected variety of AB exercises to finish us off.

COT, Name a Rama.

Stoic philosophy – Embrace Everything That Happens (Amor Fati).  Zamboni said “if you eat too much you get a more fatty” 😂

YHC encouraged the PAX to  “FOCUS ON HOW THINGS ARE, NOT HOW THEY SHOULD BE”

Don’t seek for everything to happen as you wish it would, but rather wish that everything happens as it actually will—then your life will flow well.”  Epictetus

Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans. Proverbs 16:3
