-it was a struggle for me. 4 years ago on this date, I walked in from posting to my M screaming & crying into her phone. She had gotten the news that her sweet Lauren was in a bad car accident & didn’t make it. Trauma does crazy things to your body. My rock is extra heavy & will not move. But I glad to have all of you cheering me on & helping me. Until next time, T-Square out

Dippin Dots Anyone???

This month is a struggle; today is a struggle…I was 2nd guessing myself at 4:30am. “I probably shouldn’t Q this morning. I should text E-Z Rider & tell him I can’t do it.” But, I showed up & did it. Pax were slowly trinkling in like cows coming to the milk house, while I was using my artist abilities to draw chalk dots in the Pavilion.
-Disclaimer, Pledge & WU (Goof Balls -12IC & Dying Cockroach-13-IC)

started out with the Dot Drill for foot speed. If you want info on this, ask Rudolph’s calves. 4 exercises @ 30secs with 10sec rest. Finished with bear crawls around the P.
short mosey to parking lot-ab suicides-NUR to cone / exercise (1st cone 10 Big boys, 2nd cone 20 Freddy Mercs, 3rd cone 30 Flutters, 4th cone 40 LBC) / NUR to start.

circle up, social distance Partner Up. O.P.P.’s. P1 People’s Chair doing OH Claps while P2 does 10 Plank Jacks. Switch for 3 sets. Sargento started spitting some tunes, only proving how Caucasian he is. Naughty by Nature would not approve.
mosey to wall for Pure Burns. Look it up for details. It’s a squat thang. Knees were popping all along the wall. May need to re-name Geriatric Knee Bends.
we went back to dots, then more Ab suicides & finish with one more round of O.P.P. During which I heard someone say Sally.
so we mosey back to flag for extended version of Sally then finished with ‘Merican Roxanne.
just a few minutes left. Mary was in order. Gastone took us out with Flutters so Whoopee couldn’t get in on the fun. I’m sure he probably would’ve just called “Go Jump In A Puddle” anyway.
COT – Huckleberry, HIPPA (someone chimed in saying the hernia was only a cover up for his re-assignment surgery. Others confirmed the rumor & was later on CNN’s bottom line, so it must be true.) I closed us in prayer.
so, as I told this story throughout the morn, today, 4 years ago was Father’s Day. God blessed us with seeing my stepdaughter Lauren in Boone. There’s no reason it should’ve happen, cause circumstances just wouldn’t have played out for it to, but God did it. This would be the last day we would see her alive. The next time, she would be in a body bag. I told attendees to take the time today to take a few selfies with their 2.0’s &/or loved ones, because they can be gone in the blink of eye.

THANKS for everything GasHouse Region!!!

good amount of mumble chatter this morning. NC State vs USC battling today. ASU will have another upset over Georgia on 10 year anniversary of Michigan upset. I was complimented on my shirt. It was “the Ultimate Warrior” face paint.  I was told by Roscoe that if I wear it to Pres next Sunday morning for service by Third Day fellow, he would buy my coffee. So writing it here is a legal binding contract.

but the best part of the beat down was 11 PAX watching Linus lead 2 other PAX in untangling the jump ropes. That burned a good 5 minutes.  I was awarded my Boy Scout Knot Tying badge for my handy work. Your welcome Linus.

Good times had by all & as always, an honor to lead a SUPERB group of fellas

So, I stepped up & Q’ed since Gastone Volun-told me. I thought some Shark Week BeatDown would be a good idea.

PRAYER REQUESTS 

T-Square family

Bulldog took us in prayer

So, I thought that I had learned a valuable lesson yesterday morning. That was to NEVER post, let alone Q, the morning after receiving emotionally draining news. I was SO exhausted on the mosey back to snowballs, that I walked most of it. I even told the M how exhausted I was when I got home. I still had that mindset today, until about half way through this BB. The Lord opened my eyes AGAIN to the fact that it’s NOT about the workout, but rather my shield-locking brothers that lift me up day to day. You are a special group of men. Thanks for ALL you do for me; while posting & when we are not sweating together.

It was truly an honor to lead such a great group of men. Until next time I see you in the gloom…T-Square

Happy Birthday to Me

what better way to celebrate my birthday than making it feel like Christmas. Thanks BROWNSTREAK for letting me hijack “12 Days of Christmas”.

“Get Lucky” with T-Square 3/4/17

I have been fighting the Sad Clown for some time now. I haven’t been posting as much as needed. But t-claps to the PAX that have been praying for me & the M.

I am trying to make posting in March an epic one, due to it being my birthday month. Hopefully using that as launch pad to get me back in the groove.

So showing up at AO at 6:50am & only 2 other cars there, was gonna make for a winging it session. But as in true F3 fashion, several more came in hot.

THE THANG

-disclaimer & mosey ’round parking lot to flag in front of Schiele. Pledge was done in patriotic cadence & mosey back to starting point.

-warmup included: big arm circles / LBC / press press wee (Whoppee’s fave, but not there to partake. Tsk, tsk) / seal jacks / American hammer / toy soldier

-mosey thru the woods to the picnic shelter

brought out the blue tooth speaker for T-Squares worstest hits – 1st tune we did some squats with Sally, then played TubThumping & did alternate lunges with burpees each time “got knocked down” rang blissfully in our ear holes.

-mosey back down trail to rock wall

song 3 was Bodies that we planked to; when “bodies hit the floor” shouted out, we did Donkey Kicks & when Drowning Pool counted, we were forced to do Mericans. Song 4 was GET LUCKY & we tried to constantly do flutters, but when GET LUCKY was belted out, we did WWII’s

-then a short mosey to Playscape area

tune #5 was AC/DC’s ThunderStruck. Air shoulder press were poorly performed during duration & when TS screamed out, a burpee was deployed. Side note, Lil’ Sweet was SUPER excited to workout with some AC/DC. 6th & final classic was Roxanne. Stroganoff thought it was karaoke time & carried through the first sequence. He has a lovely voice. Like that of a thousand doves. Any way, we were in plank entire song. At “red light” we did plank jacks & at “Roxanne” we suffered thru Mericans. At this point Madoff had bail & left us with 7 PAX.

-mosey back to parking lot. Had a few more minutes, so went to tables. Got in 50 dips & 100 LBC OYO. Finished with 50 sqitties (sit down squats) & 100 dying cockroaches

mosey to beginning
