Date: 10/22/25 | AO: El Diablo | QIC: Mr. Rodgers
PAX: The usual dependable brave souls
Weather: Absolutely perfect — couldn’t have ordered better

Week 2 of the Mr. Rodgers Challenge (MRC) kicked off, and YHC was curious who’d show up. Would it be another quiet morning with just me and Mayhem? Nope — the faithful crew rolled in, ready for another round of sweat equity in Mr. Rodgers’ Neighborhood.

Quick warmup to shake off the cobwebs:

Abe Vigodas

Low Slow Squats

Hillbillys

Hairy Rockets

Shoulder Taps

Peter Parkers

The men were warmed, motivated, and slightly nervous about what was next.

Main Event: 4 Sets of 8-Minute AMRAPs

Rules: Perform as many reps as possible in 8 minutes. After every 25 reps, run 25 yards out and back (50 total). Rest exactly 2 minutes between sets — no cheating, no chatting.

Set 1: Thrusters with Coupon
Set 2: Curls with Coupon
Set 3: Kettlebell Swings with Coupon
Set 4: ManMakers with Coupon

Total grind time: 32 minutes. Heart rate high. Shoulders on fire. Yard lines blurred.

YHC logged 460 total reps — and barely broke a sweat thanks to the glorious weather.

COT / Word of the Day

“The greatest among you will be your servant.” — Matthew 23:11 (NIV)

Meaning:
Real leadership isn’t about titles — it’s about towels, the kind you use to wash others’ feet. True leaders serve with humility, lift others up, and put the mission above themselves. Authority fades; influence through service lasts.

In short: If you want to lead high, start low.

Moleskin:

Mayhem showed up (of course).

The faithful few crushed it.

The MRC tradition continues — one rep, one verse, one leader at a time.

AYE! Honored to serve and lead great men this morning.
