Devotion

“Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, as God in Christ forgave you.”

‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭4:31-32‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Great conversation about doing the right thing, being a good example, and taking time to check on our friends, coworkers, neighbors, etc. Also, sharing the forgiveness that God has extended to us, through Christ, to others

Announcements: Saturday workout this week is at Bedrock…and we still need a Q.

Devo: F3 is not just about physical transformation, but mental transformation…that’s especially true on rainy mornings when getting out of the bed to get to the gloom is often more difficult than anything in the actual workout itself.

Moleskin: Not sure why, but I wanted to come up with a Transformers themed workout…with the idea being that F3 can transform you both physically and mentally.  Not sure I really was able to connect those dots given my semi-random assortment of exercises I chose, but we got the heart-rates up, and it ended up being a solid workout in pretty crummy weather conditions.  T-Claps for not only bringing out an FNG, but still convincing him to post despite some pretty solid rain leading right up to our start time.  Welcome to FNG, Dig Dug (James Morris).  Great work, fellas.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Low 70’s and clear.  Similar to working out in a sauna

FNGs: Not today

COP:  Briefed PAX in the preblast that we would not spend a lot of time here.  Didn’t want to go directly into jail breaks:

10 Side Straddle Hops IC

10 TTT IC ( Low and slow to stretch out the hamstring)

THE THANG::

Line up beside Yield sign at the circle.

Jailbreak to handicap parking spots and back.  Line up around circle in order of completion.  Waldo was the rabbit here.

Last man finished during Jailbreak goes first.  5 BOBBY HURLEYS and run to the parking lot by the fire station and back to the entrance of the park.  Remaining PAX hold Al Gore until man in front of you begins running.  Goal is to catch the man in front of you but don’t get caught.  Once at the entrance hold plank until 6 is in.  If you got caught during run 10 burpees.  If you passed someone subtract 5 burpees.  If you didn’t get caught or catch anyone no burpees.

Line up on small wall.  Do 10 steps ups on each leg w/ calf raise.  (Lead with left leg right leg follows and do a calf raise- that’s 1).  When finished run down to the scoreboard.  Once arrived plank until 6.  Grits was the rabbit here.

At scoreboard do 20 pullups.  If you can’t do the pull ups do negatives where you go down slow and power back up. Once completed run across the bridge to the wiffle ball field.  Plank until 6  Splinter was the rabbit.

Spread out at the bases and pitchers mound.  Doesn’t remember where you go since we will all do the same thing.  20 Push ups.  20 LBC.  20 squats.  Jail break between bases.   After completing the base closest to the bridge bear crawl to pitchers mound.  After completing at the pitchers mound bear crawl to base closest to the woods furthest from the bridge (sorry its hard to explain which base is which)

Rinse and Repeat until 540

Line up across the wiffle ball field from oldest to youngest.  Youngest guy does 5 bobby hurleys and run out of wiffle ball field and across bridge to the gravel parking lot.  Dri Prime was the rabbit.  Hold plank until 6 is in.

Jog towards flag alternating jogs and jail breaks at every light pole.

Devo::

The Temple
Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God? (NLT) ( 1 Corinthians 6:19 )

God’s presence is fully found in both the Notre Dame Cathedral and the rural cinderblock church.  Both of these are temple’s built to honor and glorify God.  In the same way, the Holy Spirit is found inside your body.  Your body is beautiful.  It brings glory to God.  Be amazed at the wonder of your body, your eyes, fingers, and even the aches and pains.  It is special.  God created you to be you, in the way you look, your voice, and even your imperfections.  Your body is sacred.  Rest in that thought.

Moleskin:: Picked up this Q at the last minute.  Explanation of what we were doing took some time but we got through it.  Mumble chatter was a little low today but I think that had to do with the ability to breathe in the humidity.  Work was done.  Thanks for the ability to lead

C.O.P – Count off, namorama, Pledge of Allegiance, BOM

Devotion:  YHC has been spending a lot of time during morning runs and any other alone time allotted to reflect on leadership.  How does one effectively lead?  What factors cause others to navigate to someone and look to them as leaders?  This was our discussion topic throughout the majority of the workout.  We identified that leaders are those who act on what they speak/preach about.  Are they willing to clean the preverbal “toilet”; meaning, are they willing to get in the trenches with those they lead.  That’s where real change happens; not by speaking it into existence, but by putting action to your words.

Moleskin:  YHC was unsure as to whether or not he’d be doing this workout alone, but true to Bedrock form there’s always a PAX or 2 coming in on 2 wheels!  The count may have been smaller than usual this morning, but the chatter was insightful and encouraging to one another!  Thank you men for the opportunity to lead!

Weiners Out

“Weiners out.” It was said, but for the life of me I can’t remember why or what precipitated it. Does it really matter? Let’s be honest, it doesn’t even make the top 50 of nuttiest things that have been mumble-chattered at Bedrock. Not even close.

F3 is a sausage party by design, but usually it’s weiners in.

Conditions: Low 70s, cloudy. A drizzle of rain at the very start but dry for the remainder.

COP

Mountain Climbers, Through the Tunnel, Don Quixote, LBACs, Burp&Merk Pyramid

The Thang

Mosey around the circle: first quarter bear crawl; second quarter backwards bear crawl; third quarter crab walk; fourth quarter backwards crab walk.

Grab a block and return to the circle. Set it aside for some waterfalls. We did three sets, doing five reps of an exercise and then holding on the fifth until failure. Line up in the order of failure, and do them again. You can’t break your hold position until the man in front of you does. The three we did were squats, iron cross, and merkins.

Grab your block for:

  • Curl press (curls + overhead press)
  • Tricep extensions
  • Block press
  • Curls
  • 11s: Overhead press and LBCs. Bear crawl 15-20 feet in-between.

Stow blocks, return to flag.

Devo: Disclaimer:  My devos come from a Christian background.  

Don’t Be Afraid 

Deuteronomy 31:6

Do you remember when you were a kid waking up paralyzed in fear from that same bad dream?  Fear is something we battle from a young age.  Nonetheless, God charges us to overcome our fears.  He assures us we are not alone.  He will not abandon us!  Be courageous today when that sneaky fear tries to tell you its time to panic.  It’s not true, your God is with you.

Moleskin:   The Cardiac is what it is.  The reason for coming out this morning is for the mumble chatter and work.  The CC always supplies a lot of both.  Good time with some good men this morning.

Devo: In your interactions with others, ask whether your comments/actions open the door to discussion or close the door. If you are closing doors because of your hostility or assumptions, you might need to evaluate how you are getting your point across. Do people shut down around you, or do they engage in positive discourse? This can apply socially, at work, with your wife, with your kids. It doesn’t matter. Are you opening doors or closing doors?

DEVO by YHC

Moleskin – YHCs last station was 80# cleans, however I failed to do cleans as I was executing squats.  Likely because Chum and Sackrete were in yet another deep conversation about each others heritage, man parts, hair style, and shoe collection.  I will endeavor to be better.
