Fitness, Fellowship, Faith

Day: August 16, 2017

Squats, Merkins, LBCs, repeat

While most men were spending the weekend at F3 dads camp, 6 men came for an early morning beat down at the Yank. No FNGs so only a short disclaimer was given.

Warm up:

SSHx10IC

Don Qx10IC

Squatsx10IC

Merkinsx5IC

The Thang:

Very short mosey to Caravan Coffee where the first exercises were explained.

PAX will start with 20 squats, run up Airline St about a quarter mile, 20 squats, run a quarter mile down Hawthorne St, 20 squats, back up Hawthorne, 20 squats, back up Airline to the start, 20 squats.

We repeated the same route replacing squats for merkins and then LBCs.

Now that we’re warmed up, short mosey to the newly paved parking lot in front of Glenway Pub. Circle up for the wave of merkins. Start at 1 and go around the circle like a wave up to 10.

We repeated the wave with squats and then WW1s.

Next we mosey to the flag at the Yank for the Pledge and then to the rear of the middle school for rugby sprints.

PAX will perform an exercise until I say run. Sprint 30 yards down, sprint 30 yards back, and walk 30 yards. The exercises performed were… you guessed it, squats, merkins and LBCs. We did this 6 times and were running out of time.

Mosey back to the shelter for four minutes of Mary and time was up.

Announcements:

Give 2 Give, Speed for Need

Prayer requests:

Kids back to school soon, families, those battling sickness, Tiny Tank as he prepares for his move, Pockets as he faces some health problems.

As always it was an honor to lead and I look forward to the next time.

Keep pushing that ROCK…

14 HIMS showed for a Pizza Man delivery.  It was my first post at Midoriyama in two weeks so DL gave me the Q and I wanted to make sure that everyone missed me.  With that being said, I knew there might be a little mubblechatter with what QIC had planned.  Pulling up to Midoriyama I was thinking this was going to be a soggy pizza delivery but then the rain subsided and it got HUMID like Midoriyama always is!!!  Well it’s 17:30 and time to begin.  Short disclaimer….

Warm-Up:

SSH x 20 IC

Don Q’s x 15 IC

Various merkins- 5 reg, 5 wide, 5 diamond, 5 right hand out front, 5 left hand out front, 5 reg (PAX really loved this!! Thanks to the Fighting Mongol)

Moroccan nightclubs for Lil Sweet’s arrival

Thang:

Enough with the warm-up…let’s mosey  to the soccer field but not before 5 burpees at the speed bump.  The PAX grabbed a spot on the bleachers for 20 dips IC.  Now that the arms are pumping partner up.  Partner 1 grab a coupon from the woods and Partner 2 plank until they return.  The PAX lined up on the sideline for some DORA 1,2,3.  The exercises were 100 merkins, 200 curls, 300 LBC’s.  While one partner was doing the exercises the other partner ran across the soccer field.  Good work men!!   Now that we have the blood flowing, the QIC wanted to get the cardio up so the PAX lined up on the sideline.  There was a lot of mubblechatter about sprints but that didn’t happen.  We burpee long jumped across the soccer field reminding the PAX about the Burpeethon on Sept. 16th.  With everyone out of breath, half of the PAX put the coupons up while the others planked.  Everyone ready?  Let’s mosey…to the hill we went for 11’s.  The PAX completed WW1’s at the bottom and squats at the top.  There was a lot of mubblechatter here and that’s when QIC explained that you have to be mentally tough.  Your body tells you that you need to stop but your mind and F3 brothers tell you to keep pushing that rock.  Good job pushing that rock!!  With about 5 minutes left it was time to mosey back to the flag.

Thanks to Blart for not letting me forget to do 22 for the Vets 

It was nice to get back out to my Midoriyama brothers.  As I mentioned earlier, we all need to be more mentally tough.  No matter what stands in front of you, with the faith of the Lord and being mentally tough you can conquer anything.  Just keep that in mind when your body is hurting and your F3 brothers are yelling to keep pushing!!

Once again, thanks for the opportunity to lead this group of HIMS.  Until the next delivery Pizza Man is OOOUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT!!!
