This week marked Week 6 of # DADDYRICHTAKEOVER and definitely did not disappoint. The guest leader chosen had been called up once before around Christmas time and proved then that he has that little extra something that NP needs/wants/draws out of you.
Without further ado…
He runs through the park with go hard movement;
Telling stories of turtles that are teenaged and mutant.
During our ninja 6K it was cold and dark-a;
He showed up in a black, fur lined parka.
Always good for a chuckle or huge belly laugh;
I’m pretty sure I saw him impersonate a drunk giraffe.
He can sing and dance like he was on the cast of ‘Glee’;
Can I get a ‘fuck yeah’ for none other than JP!?

“Punch life in the dick.
My name is JP and I make hard ass work outs; the kind of workouts that will get you jacked to the tits and make the best athletes feel sweatier than a one-armed bricklayer in Baghdad.
The first time I heard about November Project in Vancouver, it was the second day of the pledge. I had no idea what it was, but all I knew was that the absolute best athletes were hitting this up at 6:29 AM and I missed the first day. I was pissed.
Here’s why:
By ‘best athletes’, I mean people who are leaders. People with heart, desire and determination to be their best. If you want to improve yourself in every aspect of life, I guarantee you can do it here once you just start showing up. You will be showing up places in your life that you didn’t think were possible because surrounding yourself with incredibly strong, successful, intelligent and fulfilled people will make you one too. Plus, no one’s afraid to give you a call out and hold you accountable as soon as you give that verbal.
Before Brogan and Bojan were doing November Project they were just two guys trying to get stronger and faster. That’s what I wanted to dedicate this workout to. It’s the time of year when everyone is hitting a plateau and if you want to break through sometimes you gotta white knuckle that shit and push yourself to new limits. The workouts we do at NP aren’t just going to get you ripped, they’re going to make you mentally tough. We get up no matter what it’s like outside and crush it. It’s proven that if you take 20 athletes who have the same athletic ability and have them compete against one another, the ones with the toughest minds will win every single time.
That’s the kind of mind it takes to show you’ve got the go hard idiot gene. One new guy went above and beyond this week and proved that he has this in him. After he did eleven box jump burpees he full tilt sprinted to the next section, but before he got there he epically puked everywhere. Then, what he did next was a moment of baddassery on the highest level. He kicked dirt on it and kept running like a god damn animal.
I experienced another example of the go hard idiot gene when I was running Friday hills with some NP’ers this week. After a few laps of the enormous hill, we chose to run up and down for fun. I was given’er my all when I suddenly started running with my ass cheeks clenched as tight as an oyster. I made it about 200 meters before I dropped trou and shit on a tree. I had to say goodbye to 2 gloves and a good sock and kept running unfazed like anyone that goes to November Project would. After that, I crushed the rest of my day. I still feel pretty bad because it was basically right outside of an elementary school at 6am, but I feel like an untamed beast for continuing to run as fast as I could.
So come work out with us – literally, all you need to do is just show up. It’s a go at your own pace workout, so it’s doesn’t matter if you’re the fastest person there or the slowest. And in case you haven’t caught on, we don’t just work out either. We give hugs, laugh a lot, throw high fives around and have fun social events like snowshoeing, bowling and watching baseball. Oh and it’s FREE!!! So while you’re paying to wipe your armpits with a eucalyptus towel after an exercise class, we’ll be at Queen Elizabeth Park Wednesday morning getting stronger and faster than everyone. And 6:29am isn’t even early. It’s when muscles are made. So get up and punch life in the dick.”
So, just to make sure everyone has the right count, JP is now down 2 gloves and three socks.

NP is all about bodily functions – some of them you want to happen and some of them you don’t. However, we don’t judge; we’ve all been there. Everybody poops. It’s science.
Huge shout out to JP for making up a wicked ass kicking workout, bringing your unrelenting energy EVERY SINGLE DAY and for never holding back!
