COT:

All the usual stuff

Moleskin:

Why did I create a hero WOD for DL you ask? Me too! Kidding! He is a Godly man that wears his heart and his faith on his sleeve. The partner work was because he is good to have around, he’s helpful, a good friend, a bit of a gorge runner, and he is concerned about others.  He can take a joke and for me that is pretty important!

Plan F. is for Florida

Tuesday morning, I offered to take the Q since Stogie had some family thangs going on.
However everyone still thought Sparky had the Q. I am glad he left it that way. What better time than now to let my cousin Florida man come out and give us a swampy beatdown. To put the icing on the cake our friend Allen Tate came out to offer his services while being on IR due to a shoulder injury.

Warm up with a little Welcome to the jungle and some mullet sweat.
SSH, Goofballs, 10 burpees.
Tennis courts: Dora 1,2,3, Merkins, Hill Billies, Squats.
Next we did Triple Nickel or as Florida Man calls it Total Recalls. Shoulder Taps x5 times.
During the exercises Allen Tate was using the Mega Phone to call the werk and give us some great information about life and how to do some thangs. “seriously show to know cause some things never need to make it to the internet”. It was all in fun and the Pax seemed to enjoy the fellowship of a brother who had been wanting to come out and I know he enjoyed being around the Pax also.
Now to 4 corners. CDD, LBC, Flutters, Monkey Humpers x20. You cannot have Florida Man without some Monkey Humpers It keeps his Mullet happy.

Per Tennis Court: Lunge Walk, then Beep Bee Ima Jeep, Bear crawl. We had a few courts left so we continued the process until the end. Then we Beep Beeped all the way back (Remember and Imagine Allen Tate has a Mega phone and whistle).
Finally: Circle Up for some Iron Hulks and not stopping until “Real American” by Rick Derringer was finished. Per
the norm of Florida Man he is kinda like Santa Clause only you never know when he will show up and his gifts are more like something you get from the Uncle your Mom will not let you talk to.
Once finished Florida Man and Huck appreciated the style and cut of each others Mullets.

Im glad a few silly jokes and some hard werk brought out a strong group. Thankful that AT came out this morning. He was a huge help and made the time go by fast. Remember Tattoos are Temporary & Friendship last forever. Pick up the phone and call a brother who hasn’t posted in a while. He may need more than a merkin to help him get right.

Announcements: Annihilation this Week at the Yank, Pizza Man with the Q.
Prayers: teachers, and kids. Plus families that both parents work. those battling addiction.

The Bed Pan is Full.

84

It was a humid morning with the awful smell of skunk at Folsom, but 10 HIMS still pushed through the obstacles and are now better for it.

The Thang:

We had 6 stations around the tennis courts. At each station was a die, some F3 work out deck cards, and a piece of paper with number on it 1 through 6.

We would roll the die and run counter clockwise around the tennis courts to the numbered station, pick a card, do the exercise, and repeat.

COT:

On Saturday, Rudolph provided us a number and that number was 84.

Psalm 84 1-2: How lovely is your dwelling place, Lord of hosts!  My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the Lord;my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God.

We need to long for the Lord, live for Lord, and sing for joy to the living God. Our salvation is not provided by chance like the workout this morning.

Announcements:

  • Annihilation AO is at the Yank this weekend.

Prayer Request:

  • Medicine Woman
  • Huckleberry
  • Sister Act
  • Sparky’s Nephew
  • Purple Haze
  • All of the Community

 

Big Pappy

 

A test, a saylark, kotters and B-side soundtracks

Big Pappy hollered at me a few months ago to Q, I said make it a surprise Q.  Well, it fell on the same day as the PT test, but that kind of works well, as every one knows I love running about as much as a root canal.  They’re equally painful.  Speaking of pain, let’s do a couponless Pain Lab!  Parking lot had a lot of guys, kotters and an FNG.  This is great!

Review what is F3, what it is we’re going to do today, and the disclaimer.

Warm-Up:  SSH, Squats, MNC, IW, Merkins, LBC.  Now up to the tennis courts.

Theme of the day is movie soundtracks, in honor of Big Pappy who is always very awesome with thematic soundtracks.  So let’s get to the 80’s movies, with a few exceptions.  So much whining about the deep cuts 🙂

50 squats OYO, plank for 6.  Rudolph leads exercises for 30 seconds.  We repeated this x 3

Max out merkins OYO, hold 6″ for 6.  Rudolph leads exercises for 30+ seconds.  We repeated this x 3

50 lunges OYO, plank for 6.  Rudolph leads exercises for 30 seconds.  We repeated this x 3

Diamond Merkins Max out OYO, hold 6″ for 6.  Rudolph leads exercises for 30+ seconds.  We repeated this x 3

I’ll try to list below the winners of the soundtrack contest.  Again, whining.  If I remember correctly, we landed right at, or close to 7:05, which meant it was time for the test:

3 groups, I think 2 groups of 6, 1 group of 5.  Unfortunately, my group was facing the sun, whereas one was in the shade and another facing away from the sun.  Brutal.  I put on the soundtrack from “Hoosiers”  and let it roll for 15 minutes.  In 15 minutes we got in 84 Burpees each.  That was great, and I saw a lot of leadership in each group to push their crew, count out, and pickup the 6.  That’s what I love about Hoosiers, TEAM!

*It should be pointed out that Kingpin was eager to get to 100.  The test is the test, but after the workout was done he told me in the parking lot he’d get those 16 so he could hold the belt.  LOVE IT.

I called body destroyers for a bit, then went to stretch, then 5 minutes of yoga to cool down.  Time for the important stuff:

Announcements: uuuhhh….PT test today.  Not much else!

Prayers:  Huck, T square, Allen Tate’s shoulder, Sister Act, Medicine Woman.  Prayers for our friends!

Moleskin:  I left the guys with about 2 minutes of a good reality check.  You are the tip of the spear.  You are the leaders.  We will not give into division, taking sides, politics, hate, accusation or the like.  We will rise above it, and exhibit the true male leadership that is needed: compassion, understanding, help, faithfulness and guiding the world to a positive place.  You must never give into negativity.  Check yourself.  We have it better than all of recorded human history.  Act the part, lead, and if ever in doubt, well, ask what Jesus would do.  After that, compassion and positivity will fill your head and your heart.  That’s the stuff of leaders.

Name-O-Rama extra juice:  FNG is Greg Taylor, great new guy that Oompa brought.  Could not be more polite and busted his tail.  We discovered he’s a bookworm and he likes Star Wars.  HIPAA said “that worm thing from Star Wars!”.  I confused that with the pit monster from Return of the Jedi, which is known as the Sarlaac pit.  During Name-O-Rama he said his name was Saylark.  The legend is born 🙂

Soundtrack trivia!  Mixed bag here 🙂  Forgive me if I get one wrong:

Lunatic Fringe – Vision Quest – Roundup won (wrestling movie!  Linda Fiorentino……hot hot hot hot hot hot hot)

War – Rocky IV – Tater Hole if I remember correctly.

The heat is on – Beverly Hills Cop – Montross got this for sure.  And was a great Burpee partner in the heat!

Mighty Wings – Top Gun – NO ONE.  LOSERS.

Princes of the Universe – Highlander – Stogie got it.  And we agree, movie sucks, TV show good

Star Trek – Pearl Jam….I think.  It’s the new one, so it was close

Theme from Predator – Predator – Kingpin got it after the first bar.  Excellent

Theme from Total Recall – Total Recall – NO ONE.  This one is forgiven, deep cut

Great work men, what a blessing Folsom is.

Rudolph

Prayer Request: Purple Haze’s neighbor, battling addiction.

Sister Act’s daughter and his family.

All the men present and absent.

If I missed any sorry, but the Lord knows all our prayer request and needs!

I shared 2 Corinthians 5:17: “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.”
‭‭2 Corinthians‬ ‭5:17‬ ‭ESV‬‬. I talked about how we believers in Christ are a new creation and not the same man we were before our Precious Savior pulled us from the grips of hell and if we are living or giving ourselves to sin it’s not who we are now and we’re actually living against our new nature and that is where distress, depression, and anxiety comes from. If we truly believe and understand our new identity in Christ and what that means then nothing this life throws at us will cause us to stumble.

Brothers, thanks for another opportunity to lead and grow!

Wichita out… on to the next one
