Month: August 2023 (Page 7 of 11)

Coming Soon

YHC stepped out of the hacienda this gloom to a wall of yuck. It’s a good thing there were other HIM to be accountable to, otherwise there may have been temptation to fartsack. Not today Satan! Upon arrival at the AO, there were the usual suspects loitering around under the parking lot light. Fist bumps were given. Pleasantries exchanged. This is what happened…

Countoff – there were 10 HIM present

Disclaimer but you should do what YHC says

Warmup – merkins (indeed) and goofballs all IC

Mosey to the abandoned baseball field for the first part of The Thang.

The Triple Nickle

5 Burpees (yes, you read that right) at the top, mosey down to the gate that’s never closed and do 5 lunges each leg. Do this 5 times, hence the, errr, triple part, maybe? This took quite a while due to the extended mosey between the top and bottom. It’s all good and good for us though.

Mosey back toward the start, stopping for the very rare mid-beatdown Pledge of Allegiance.

Stop by the back of the luxury sedan where the surprise coupons were distributed. Those sweet ‘ole bricks YHC loves so much.

Fellowship mosey to the wide sidewalk for the next part of The Thang

Dora 123

Partner up, #1 does the exercise while #2 (heehee, YHC said #2) lunges walks all the way to the trash can. The exercises were 100 BigBoys, 200 Brick Presses and 300 LBCs. Plenty of ab work so we can keep that washboard looking good.

Circle up for some whisper quiet IC work of 15 regular curls, 15 curls palms down and 15 hammer curls. Feel the burn!

Plank the last 60 seconds until time was called. Thank you for the opportunity to lead today men!

Remember, even if you don’t feel like posting, there is another guy out there who needs you to show up because he may be just as unmotived as you! Iron sharpens iron!!!

Today’s word:

39 One of the criminals who hung there hurled insults at him: “Aren’t you the Messiah? Save yourself and us!”

40 But the other criminal rebuked him. “Don’t you fear God,” he said, “since you are under the same sentence? 41 We are punished justly, for we are getting what our deeds deserve. But this man has done nothing wrong.”

42 Then he said, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.[a]”

43 Jesus answered him, “Truly I tell you, today you will be with me in paradise.”

Copied from William Graham Devotion @ Billy Graham.org:

The cross means different things to different people. For some it’s just a pretty piece of jewelry. To others it’s a decoration for their home. To Christians it is a symbol of the sacrificial love of Christ and His conquering of the grave.

However, to criminals under Roman rule in the first century, and those who witnessed the punishment, the cross was a symbol of torture, cruelty, death, and humiliation.

We can learn a lot from a man on a cross. This individual’s name is only known to God. We find this man—a criminal sentenced to death—hanging beside Jesus in Luke 23:39-43.

The first lesson that we learn is that he had a correct view of reality (Luke 23:40-41) and a correct view of himself. He saw himself as a criminal who was rightly condemned for the deeds he had committed. He correctly realized that he deserved death.

Further, he had a correct view of Jesus. He recognized Jesus as the spotless Lamb of God and he testified to this while hanging on the cross. He knew he was a sinner, and Jesus was innocent.

The second lesson that we learn is that this criminal had a correct view of life after death. Though he was sentenced to death and hanging to life by a thread, he believed that his soul would continue to live after he died.

Many people today live as if this life is all there is, but the Bible says that your soul lives forever and that it will abide in one of two places—heaven or hell (Matthew 10:28; Luke 12:5; John 3:1-21).

Finally, we see that this criminal had a correct view of salvation (Luke 23:42). He saw himself as totally helpless. He could do nothing to improve his odds in life or save himself. He was now bound to death and could not escape. Yet he cries out to Jesus, “Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.”

He wanted to offer the last thing he had to give (his soul) to Jesus. He realized that Jesus was the Son of God and that he wanted to be a part of Christ’s kingdom.

The criminal on the cross: he knew who he was and who Jesus was, he knew that his soul would continue after he died, and he knew that Jesus was the Savior. He could do nothing but cry out to Jesus and place his faith in Him for his salvation.

To which Jesus replied, “Today you will be with Me in paradise” (Luke 23:43).

Thanks for allowing me to lead.

JJ gave a quick warm up then moseyed off with the bootcampers. El Toro and Hunchback stayed behind in the parking lot. I set up music and a 40-second timer for exercise intervals.  We cycled through 5 exercises, then 40-second rest, rinse and repeat until it was time. Exercises were Kettlebell pullovers, American Hammers, squats, babymakers, lawn mower rows, kettlebell swings, LBC’s, overhead presses, reverse crunches, merkin pull-throughs, tricep extensions, flutter kicks, deadlifts, scissor kicks, curls.

Mumblechatter kept us going the whole time – cars, beers, vacation, all good stuff.  It was great to see El Toro back and hear about his travels to Iceland.
