Theodore Roosevelt said “Speak softly and carry a big stick.”
On the other hand, there’s the “shock and awe” theory, where you try to overwhelm your enemies by scaring them to death and making yourself look bigger and louder than you really are. It’s like standing up to the bear instead of running away from him.
There weren’t many positive quotes about being loud, but the ones I found all came from musicians. Go figure!
Adele – “I’m a big personality. I walk into a room big and tall and loud.”
Billy Joel – “Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.”
Henry Rollins – “My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.”
Today is an homage to both ends of that spectrum of sound.
Option 1: Walk normally and carry a big coupon
Pick a coupon and take off walking around the parking lot at your own pace. When you have to stop or change grips, do 5 manmakers. Change grips each time you stop and repeato until you finish the lap.
Ex. Farmer carry on each side; rifle carry, tricep carry (behind your head), goblet carry, curl carry, etc.
Option 2: Mosey out LOUD and shock yourself with your own awesomeness.
Starting at one corner, take a deep breath, take off running, moseying or just walking at your own pace, and start one continuous scream at the top of your lungs. Stop when you run out of breath. Do 5 burpees where you stop, take a deep breath and repeato until you finish the lap.
Switch between options as you wish, but do at least two full laps of each if you can.
Put away the coupons and mosey back to the flag.
