Maundy Thursday at Folsom

8 HIM’s showed up at Folsom this beautiful morning to get in some work. It is an honor to have the opportunity to Q during holy week and today is Maundy Thursday.  For recognition of this day, we went with a workout to lift up the original 12 apostles.

Warm up:

  • 12 Cherry pickers
  • 12 Hillbillies
  • 12 Moroccan Nightclubs

The Thang:

We moseyed for Matthew to the first stop.  The first stop was for Simon Peter, Andrew and James.  Simon Peter and Andrew where the first apostles. “Drop your nets and become fisherman of men”. James was the first to be martyred. “Would you be willing”

2 sets

  • 12 Peter Parker’s for  Simon Peter
  • 12 Alternating Shoulder Taps for Andrew
  • 12 Merkins for James

We moseyed for Matthew to the second stop. The second stop is for John, Thomas, and Philip.

2 Sets

  • 12 Dying Cockroaches for John – John was a disciple of John the Baptist, John the Baptist ate bugs..
  • 12 American Hammers – Thomas was a builder
  • 12 Flutter Kicks – Philip was in the story of the feeding of the 5000.

We moseyed for Matthew to the third stop.  The third stop was for Thaddeus, Bartholomew, James the Less, and Simon the Zealot.

  • 12 Finkle Kicks for Thaddeus, the patron saint of lost causes. I am a Bills fan.
  • 12 Big Boys for Bartholomew
  • 12 Jump Squats for James the Less. He was not any less just younger or smaller.
  • 12 SSH for Simon the Zealot

We moseyed for Matthew to the flag and did the pledge.

  • 12 Burpees for the betrayer Judas.

We then did it all over again back to the start.

COT:

We finished up talking about Jesus, the greatest and perfect servant leader.  He knew the pain, agony, and betrayal he was about to partake in and yet washed the feet of those who followed him. He broke bread with them and gave them the commandments for the future.  The is no greater example of servant leadership than the Lord’s Supper.

We ran 5 miles, some did a little less but made it happen.

Beautiful Gloom

Being that I am fairly new to F3 , my exposure to all of the exicon is limited.  My Qs my seem similar each time, but I always try to do two things.  One, incorporate different muscle groups (some less frequently used) and two, doing something that has (as WattsUp would say) a high suck factor.  With that said here is what a few HIMs did…

Pledge

Warmup:

SSH x 10 IC

5 burpees OYO

Stations:

Slam ball raises (squeeze)/big boy x 15 each

Man makers x 15

Swings x 20 heavier if you want

LBCs/ flutter kicks x 25 each

Squat presses x 25

MNC x pax pick number between 50-100 

(Dry Rub chose 60)

Reverse American hammers x 25

HIPAA Mystery move…(ask him)

After 2 rounds we went to the parking lot and did a lunge walk (approximately 25 yards) did 25 flutter kicks IC and lunge walked back. Then we did another round.  Time. Great work by everyone.  It was an honor gents!

Announcements:  Mt. Mitchell and Community Fun Run

YHC took us out with a prayer…
