You’ll find a common theme among today’s workouts: Disruption, the first chapter of Q-Source. Not everyone is aware these resources exist.

I/we invite you to read for yourself and make your own conclusions.

My personal take:
We as humans are comfortable in predictable and repeatable situations. We hate change [at a deep level]. There is a fascinating psychological discussion on the popularity of Scooby Doo in 1969 and onwards when it aired. The episodes follow a highly predictable structure and formula, and in a time of war, death, and uncertainty, a simple cartoon was the comfort that many children (and adults) found in their daily lives.
Disruption is the impetus of change. Though it sounds like a bad word, it can lead to a positive or negative change. But nonetheless, a disruption is needed to start things off. This can apply to our personal lives, health, family, household, work, etc.
When we become comfortable with and open to disruption, we also allow ourselves to expand our knowledge, see others viewpoints, and have healthy discussion. Disruption can thus reaffirm old practices or lead to new ones.

What had happened was:
We started with a predictable Mosey and SSH, Dugans C,L,R, runners stretch, calf stretch. Then we varied cadence, counts, speeds, and did some exercises that we havent seen in a while. We weren’t out to break any records today.
The goal was full extension and compression in range of motion, and controlled movement and muscle activation. In no particular order, we managed 37 burpees, 20 squats, 40 lunges, 38 cossack squats, 20 glute bridges, 20 single leg glute bridges, 30 LBCs, 10 Big bois, 10 merkins, 10 deep dry docks, F1 mosey loops (clockwise), Nascar mosey loops (left turns), Indian run, 1.5 miles total, wall sits, boxers, overhead presses, planks, flutters, Peter Parkers, heels to heaven, J-Los, and im sure I forgot something. We did some on our own, some in strict cadence, some Pax led.

Some food for thought in COT about how minor examples of disruption during the workout felt, and how disruption can be applied to other aspects of our lives. Thank you gents for letting me lead this morning. It was good to be out there again.
