    • The Hodor

    • Inspired by Hodor of Game of Thrones and his only purpose in life to carry a crippled boy. With a cinder block held in front of you, squat until the block touches the ground, stand, rotate the block over your head to a triceps extension, squat, stand, rotate the block back in front. That’s 1.

  • Moleskin: Embrace the Absurd

    • Absurd: utterly or obviously senseless, illogical, or untrue; contrary to all reason or common sense; laughably foolish or false: an absurd explanation.

    • Learning to accept the irrationality of people, including yourself.

    • Examples:

      • Man who keeps a collection of guns but leaves his garage door open all of the time.

      • People who keep gym memberships without ever using them.

      • Q leading core exercises while Pax lie in a cold puddle.

  • Prayers for @Jolly’s M, who recently left her job.
