COT
Started with the Pledge of Allegiance. Counted off…
The warm up consisted of a little mosey and a little exercise on our way to the bunker.
At the bunker, we used some newly acquired (for the Yank) blocks for some overly complicated work. (or so YHC was told)
After that, we hid said blocks…. Let’s see if these stay.
Moseyed up to the track for some grinder type work, along with some Dirty calves.
Back to the pull up bar for some hanging knee lifts and other ab work.
On to the Yank for a few dips and Orangeman’s favorite exercise.
Named Jelly Roll’s 2.0.
Did some announcements.
Noted prayer requests and praises.
YHC took us out.
Nothing fancy, just like this BB. Although there was a fair bit of mumblechatter, but who listens to all that…
Watts Up Powering Down…
Seven ruckers and three runners this morning at Members only. Introduced Get Right . Be sure not to miss the next several weeks as we go into detail on the 12 important points to Get Right.
Humbled and honored to serve, thank you for the opportunity to lead.
Rebar
This morning at the Sandlot, I initially counted six of us, but Alma Mater’s arrival made it seven after we realized he had taken a wrong turn. He explained that he had encountered someone riding a bicycle and, instead of recruiting them with an EH (Encouragement to join), he inadvertently frightened them by suggesting he was late for a workout.
Seeing no FNG’s I gave a brief disclaimer followed by the Pledge of Allegiance.
WARM UP:
Two laps around the parking lot at Pelican’s.
Toy Soldiers x 10 IC
Gravel Pickers x 10 IC
Windmill x 5 IC
Stretches

We headed for a run toward the entrance to Martha Rivers Park. At the entrance there are five light poles, which we stacked the exercise. Of course I called burpees.
- Lightpole 1: 5 burpees
- Lightpole 2: 5 burpees, 10 merkins

BEATDOWN #2
Next we took a stroll around the Martha Rivers Parking Lot and ended up near the baseball diamond. There are four entrances, and somehow I missed one looking back at my Strava. So at each entrance to the diamond we would run and perform an ab exercise.
- First entrance: 20 Flutter Kicks (IC)
- Second entrance: 20 American Hammers (IC)
- Third entrance: 10 Parker Peter (IC) and 10 Plank Jacks (IC)

We then headed toward the picnic shelter for some chest work.

Read Scripture from Exodus 17:10-12
Talking about Aaron and Hur holding up Moses’s arms so the Israelites could defeat The Amalekites.
When we get tired , injured , hurt or if we are just going through life. We all know it can be tough a lot of the times , it’s such a benefit to have brothers in Christ holding us up. Maybe a word of encouragement or just an old fashion kick in the butt. I know it means the world to me.
So go out there today and hold someone up, cause you never know what they may be going through.
Announcements:
Q School – March 2nd
Speed for Need – April 13th
