10 HIM posted despite YHC’s warning that we’d be doing the IPC today. Actually, the announcement may have helped lure a few guys out who wouldn’t have normally posted at the world’s premier afternoon AO.

Unfortunately, former nantans Freight and Def Leppard and current nantan Broke elected not be strong and instead do a running workout. Maybe this was a good idea after all. This is what happened…

No FNGs so not much of a disclaimer other than that the IPC is gonna suck really bad this week.

No warmup.

IPC Week #4

A timed workout for a full 52 minutes and 30 seconds. Everybody exercises the whole time (except the nantan mutinees).  The routine was to do 25 reps of the exercise you’re on, run 25 yards, do 3 burpees, run back and pick up on the rep you stopped on. Do this until you’ve finished the prescribed number of reps then move on to the next exercise. If you finish the whole workout before time is up, you start going back up from where you finished. The exercises and reps were

200 Curls (with blocks)

175 Squats

150 Overhead Presses (with blocks)

125 Kettlebell Swings (with blocks)

100 Merkins

75 Thrusters (with blocks)

50 Bonnie Blairs

25 Blockies (with blocks, duh)

Honestly, this was totally insane and I hated it. Soccer arms were tested to the limit and YHC failed badly.

The supreme victor of the day was Defib, which is no surprise because he is a total beast. That guy is awesome. Hats off to the rest of you guys for doing your best, it was awful and I won’t do that again!

Thanks for the opportunity to “lead”.

Announcements – convergence happened today

Prayer Requests – Huckleberry’s mom, man from Lil Sweet’s church on ventilator, Survivors of Shop Vac who was PAX in other region, also Tiger mentioned a lady Katie Sparrow who both passed at young ages leaving families behind.

These requests bring to mind how fragile life is and that we’re not guaranteed another day. We need to be intentional. We need to let those we love know how much they mean to us, to get right with our Lord and to lead well because you never know the impact you’ll have on someone, even if it’s just one something little. Let’s make a difference in our worlds and be intentional. Aye!
