We had a few help at Rice n Beans in Charlotte.  Roscoe and his family, along with Termite, Breaker Breaker, Paperback Writer, Hey Jude and Tiger.

Amazing that when you set out to help others they often help you.  Give the gift of self.

The Gastonia launch if Rice n Beans is roughly a month away if all goes to plan.  We will have opportunity to play significant role.

Disclaimer, Pledge, Warmup: 10 SSH, Squats, Merkins then quick ‘splanation of plan: Theme would be Concentrica-reminder that the old guys here have probably heard this and jump in anytime to add to the discussion. Mosey down the hill to the parking lot with a turn around. We ran a few laps around this circle with a quick discussion of what the Concentrica is: think of archer’s target with 5 circles-closest is what you should be aiming for most often-this is your M. Next ring is your Shorties-they need to know that M is top priority but they are right behind. Next 2 rings are you guys-Shieldlock and Whetstone. Outermost ring is work or Mammon and should be least important in your list of priorities but often is not the case. This does not mean “don’t spend time on outer rings” but really just means MORE OFTEN you should be focusing your time (or arrows to keep with the archer theme) on the center rings, realizing you never know when you will run out of arrows (or time). Next we moseyed back to start for some more reminders of the Concentrica-split into groups of 5 and each group would run to end of lot and back while rest of group would do an exercise with letter starting with M (for M), S (for Shorties), S (for shieldlock), B (for Blade), and M (for Mammon). The exercises were the following: Monkey Humpers, Spatchcock, SSH, Big Boy setups, and Mountain Climbers…..better on paper the night before so got thru this quickly. Move on to the wall at the school for few sets of Hip Slappers…..just cause there is a good wall and……..why not? Mosey to baseball field-thanks for leading the way Seuss. Step ups and Mountain Climbers then came the fun. Get on the line, 10 Flying Squirrels then 10 lunges. 15 Flying Squirrels then 15 lunges, 20 FS then 20 Lunges, 25 FS then 25 lunges. We stood there for a minute or so while I let everyone think I was going to Omaha…not a chance. Gimme 10 more FS……then 10 more FS…….then 10 more FS…….then 10 more FS. We either did 40 or 50, I am not sure, then moseyed back to start for Mary with max of 5 reps and everyone took a turn. Had enough, time was up. Finish with COT-lot of prayers, Christmas Party, family member. Good time this am getting back out here-Storm never disappoints so thanks for the guys for showing up and putting in some work. Final word-Focus on the M. She is your most important relationship and when you commit relationship malpractice (as Dredd puts it), everything else will fall apart. If you have not experienced this, you have probably seen it. ESPECIALLY during this time of the year, take some time and spend it with your M showing her the love and respect she deserves and needs. It is time well spent.

thanks-Whoopee

We first mosey up to the soccer field, stopping at the transformers for our 1st set. With an ample amount of mublechatter we start our next mosey around the field stopping at the same spot for our next set. On this mosey is where the dog poo comes in. When we started this mosey, the chatter was about a movie(Something about Mary) and we almost stepped in a BIG pile on the side walk. After set 2 we start another mosey, since Oompa couldn’t let the poo lie there, He cleaned it up as we moseyed on to the next stop. We stopped at the playground for the 3rd set.  From there we continued down to the stop sign for set 4. Then moseyed around the lot stopping at a light pole for set 5. Mosey back to the start and finish our last set. With 5 min left we do some ab Mary.

At Diablo Sammich we hustled to Waffle House. At every parking lot, we did squats and merkins. When squats seemed to easy, we switched to bottom-half only squats. The usual suspects were there and for that I am grateful.

thanks for let me lead. Don’t stay on the Kotter list! Get up and get moving man!!

So as YHC respectfully took the Q from Watt’s Up for a birthday bash (62) it was apparent we needed to do a little something with the morning that could be remembered as 7 men came to the grounds to put in their time and be ready for the rest of the day. Went like this:

COP:

SSH X 20

IW X 20

Grass pickers X 20

Grapevines X 20

Mtn. Climbers X 20

Mosey to the track from six shooters. This version is pax does the work, then runs a lap after each task is completed. This is what we do:

10 burpees

20 big boys

30 HR merkins (a popular choice)

40 squats

50 CDDS

60 SSH

Mosey to the pull up bars and go to work as follows:

10 pull ups

10 big boys

10 SSH Rinse and repeat 3 times.

Gather up for some bear crawl Slalom! Everyone gets three times through to the opposite side of the field. Mosey back with 5 burpees in the middle. Finish up with a 4 minute plank.

NMM: Great push by the pax today. Greta to be able to do this at 62. Feel like the best and most productive time of life lies ahead of me and not behind me. Big part of that is learning to live third! Makes for a better investment in time and effort into things that really do matter and create a legacy. That’s what’s important and to become DISPENSABLE! Every graveyard I see is full of indispensable men. Don’t be one!

Eleven gathered for some hard work downtown Belmont at the Bunker and the Yank.  Start with the mission of F3 and reminder to give it best effort every time.  We have to be willing to break down a little in order to rebuild better.

Warm up was together, SSH, IW, and some stretches.  YHC wanted a good laugh so we also had some toe touch jacks in there.  Everyone except Freon are terrible with these.  5 burpees for the train.  Bootcamp with me Bunker with Hipaa

Mosey up the hill of main street and take a right back toward the school.  End up at track.  Partner up.  Partner runs in opposite direction.  Meet halfway for 10 burpees with hand release boo-yah merkins at the bottom.  Run halfway for nine.  Repeat down to one.  Crowd pleaser.

Mosey to corner of knowledge.  Step-ups, ten each leg.  Run down hill at myrtle street and back.  Repeat for 15 step ups and then 20.  Crowd pleaser.

On the six for 10 big boys and run to fence at the end of walk way.  Three rounds.

Mosey back to Yank for some Mary.

Bunker boys rejoin.  Pledge.

YHC talks for just a moment about discipline and making good choices.  The fact that our behaviors throughout every day either help us work toward our goals or detract from them.  There really is no in-between.
