Global Warming?

12 manly Midoriyama men posted in the ridiculously warm last day of February weather for an old man Q.

Disclaimer even though No FNG’s. I reminded everyone that we are all trying to get healthier out here so do not push too far to get injured as that defeats the purpose!

Warm Up

SSH x 10 IC

Toy Soldiers x 10 IC

Rockette Hillbillies x 11.75 kinda sorta in Cadence OYO, Quiet Huckleberry!

Box Cutters x 10 IC

Mosey to the Soccer field

Dips x 20 OYO, 5 Step Ups each leg, 3 Sets

Mosey to the Coupons

Even with the coupon vandalism from the soccer hooligans, we had enough for everyone.

Curls with Coupons x 20, On your six for Chest Presses with Coupons x 20+, 3 Sets of these. Aye!

Mosey to the Dog Park Hill which I tried to get a name for. Fido Hill? Lassie Hill? Huck floated something like “female dog” Hill but that’s not family friendly even though some dog show watchers in our group said it was used frequently on those broadcasts. There was a girls soccer scrimmage going on as we arrived at the hill so we tried to not be distracting as went up the hill, touched the fence, 5 Merkins, down the hill, 15 LBC’s, repeat 5 times, yes I said 5 times. Guys pushed hard on this one.

Mosey back to the parking lot close to our flag where there were 11 exercises listed in parking spaces. This came from CSpan when he came to Gashouse one Saturday. 10 Burpees, 20 Diamond Merkins, 30 CDD’s, 40 Squats, 50 Seal Jacks, 60 LBC’s, 70 SSH, 10 Hello Dolly, 20 Merkins, 30 Calf Raises. Start with whichever exercise you wanted. After each exercise run a lap around the parking lot bear crawling the sidewalk near the road. This was very popular with the group. Pizza Man, Slaw, Freight and Edison nearly got through the entire set before time to circle up back at the flag. I read the verse Phillipians 3:14 “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus”. I remember CSpan’s lesson with the parking spot workout was how we sometimes think other folks are way ahead of us and we can never catch them but with F3, we are all running together to help each other “toward the goal”. I can’t say enough about how much F3 has helped me in every area of my life at a time when I needed it. I have always appreciated how well the original Midoriyama guys welcome newer guys into the group. They didn’t have to be that way, but they were and we try to continue that with our newer guys. Thanks to all of F3 for the push!

Pledge, Prayer Requests and COT.

Announcements – F3 Gastonia convergence on March 18th at the Yank, Christmas Party postponed.
