AAR: YHC did not start at 0515 sharp as planned, so we were running late to give everyone a chance at an hour
90s Rock Spotify selection was questionable, not fast paced enough for a workout
Naked Man Moleskin (BC rambling thoughts):
Why do IPC each year? There are plenty of reasons not to:
* Comparison is the thief of joy … And for guys, comparison in the form of competition can lead to frustration and envy. Pursuit of a higher rep count or faster time can lead to poor form, injury, or just hurt egos
* The workouts are super hard, and frequently take more than 45 minutes. Easy excuse to say it doesn't fit in our normal F3 mold.
* It drives some guys away, at least during the month of September, so we lose an element of fellowship and brotherhood during this
But the reasons to do it outweigh those negatives IMHO.
* Because it is hard, they are workouts that should find our limits and push us past those limits. That's where growth occurs, whether it's physical strength, endurance, or just perseverance in the pursuit of something challenging
* If you commit to it, it can be a great way to test your resolve Knowing it will suck
* It's a great opportunity for pax to pick up the six, b/c we all finish at different times and reps, and we can help each other get through it. Leave no man behind, believe no man where you found him
