Day: September 10, 2020

The Hub

When the IPC Week 2 workout came out on Sunday the description of the workout was almost as difficult to understand as the actual workout was going to be to complete. Due to the mental fatigue YHC was sure to experience during the IPC later in the week, today’s weinke needed to include a portion that somewhat mimicked the setup and routine of the challenge. After the usual disclaimer, pledge and warmup, 9 strong PAX headed off on a mosey to the small soccer field to get things started.

 

The HUB

One cone is placed in the center of the field and four additional cones are placed 25 yards from the center. Routine is as follows:

  • Start from center cone and complete a lap around the field and back to center
  • 3 Burpee’s then run to first cone for 10 HR Merkins
  • Back to center for 3 Burpee’s then run to second cone for 20 Squats
  • Back to center for 3 Burpee’s then run to third cone for 30 American Hammers
  • Back to center for 3 Burpee’s then run to fourth cone for 40 Mtn. Climbers
  • Back to center for 3 Burpee’s – Round Complete

We did 3 rounds and finished off with another lap around the field.

 

Next up was some Dora 1-2-3. One partner runs across the field and up the hill for 5 squats, then returns and swaps out. Exercises were:

  • 100 Big Boys
  • 200 Flutter Kicks
  • 300 Plank Jacks

Time was up and we headed back to the flag.

 

NMM / COT

The title of the IPC this week is “Wheel of Misfortune” and the title got me thinking a little bit (this is very dangerous). If we think about how a wheel is constructed, we can make a comparison as to how we are supposed to live as Christians.

  • The hub of the wheel is where all things come together and this is symbolic of how Christ is in our lives. He should be the hub of our life, holding everything together and center of everything.
  • The spokes of the wheel are representative of how we should strengthen our lives; prayer, study, reading the bible, fellowship, witnessing, etc.
  • The rim / tire is literally where the rubber meets the road. This is the actionable part of our lives where we make an impact on others and hopefully portray the image that Christ desires for us.

In the Gloom

Had a good group at Folsom this morning, I even made a few minutes early! 530 hit and we did some MNCs until Achey Breaky joined us, then the fun started!

10 Burpees per minute for 5 minutes.

Then we moseyed to the bottom parking lot.

11s- Bigboys mid parking lot/ Hip slappers at the turd shack/ calf raises on the steps in between.

Mosey to pick nick shelter.

10 dips ic/ 10 squats ic, 3 sets of each.

Move back to the bottom of the parking lot.
10 merkins at the first line, bear crawl 2 spaces, 10 squats/lunge walk 2 spaces, do this the full length of the bottom parking lot!

Moseyed back to the start!

Circled up for a round of Iron Hulks!

Pledge! Done!

Announcements- guest Q at Folsom this Saturday! CSAUP next Saturday, JJ5K the next Saturday followed by a Hike the next day!

Thank you men for letting me Q this morning!

Hanging

Today was supposed to be Dry Rub’s Q, but he texted YHC and asked if I could sub since he had to be at work early.

So now…. what to do.

Remembering a Q by Rudolph, and since we have moved to “Level 2.5”, (the  playground is open), lets revisit some of that.

0530 hits with 6 joining YHC.  No FNGs – No Disclaimer.  Just The Pledge.

We Rucked, stopping at the playground to hang for as long as you can or 30 secs.

Repeat for a total of 3 times.  As YHC recalls, hanging was supposed to be good for the body or soul or something.  Ask Rudolph.

0600 hits and Les needs to check out early.

We escort him back and continue on to the bottom of Gastone’s hill and back.

Stops were made along the path for some squats too.

By the time all were assembled back at the start, we were in OT…. OOOOPs.

 

Announcements:  S.O.S.  Most noteworthy is the Shoot-em-Up this weekend.  Check Slack/Twitter Meet @10 AM and take care of waiver in advance.

There were many prayer requests mostly around PAX, M’s and friends of PAX with health issues.

Tube took us out.

 

I forgot to share this…

Today’s Verse:

2 Corinthians 12:9
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

 

Watts Up Powering Down.
