It is important to remember what really happened on 9/11/2001, not revisionist history such as “some people did something” or “airplanes flew into the WTC”.  We experienced a deliberate unprovoked terrorist attack by Muslim Extremists.  It is our repsonsibility to remember history correctly or it will repeat itself.

Intro: YHC got news from the doc that do to a TMI subject, I had to refrain from strenuous activities….but YHC just couldn’t stay away. No exercises were done by YHC, and this the PAX suffered more.

Weather: Niceee

FNGs: J5 has been gone awhile, so it felt like a new guy was there.

COP: YHC would count, but not partake.

TTT x10 IC

PAX went and grabbed blocks, two logs were placed on opposite ends of the horseshoe pit, while my little game was in between.

PAX were split into two groups.

Round 1:

PAX would perform one of 4 exercises until the Bag thrower returned. When the thrower returned they would do the next exercise. Continue till all members had gone to be a thrower. Exercises were merkins, squats, OHP, and Curls

Bag thrower would run with the log and drop the log near the bean bag stand. 5 burpees. Then the thrower had to make one bag in. Once he did, grab all bag, and return them to the original start spot. Grab log and return to your team.

Go until one team had all PAX go. Losers did 5 burpees.

Round 2:

Same idea as round 1, but the thrower had to make all 8 bags in, before returning. Some guys played dirty, some guys just can’t toss.

PAX would be doing either Monkey Humpers, Flutterkicks, Damn It’s or Tricep Dips.

Losers do 5 burpees.

  • YHC has been re-reading a book on personal productivity called What’s Best Next (by Matt Perman), and challenged the PAX with three quotes from it:
  • 1.) “We weren’t made to simply respond to stuff all day, but to take action and move things forward. If we don’t give attention to the discipline of personal effectiveness but instead let the flow of events determine what we do, we will likely fritter ourselves away doing all sorts of urgent things that come our way while never getting to the truly important things.” (p.21)
    • Challenge: Take action and move things forward today.
  • 2.) Efficiency is not the answer. “It doesn’t matter how efficient you are if you are doing the wrong things in the first place. More important than efficiency is effectiveness – getting the right things done.” (p.43)
    • Challenge: Make sure you’re getting the right things done.
  • 3.) Excluding God is the ultimate in unproductivity. “If you get everything you want in this life, but do it apart from God and receive no eternal value from what you’ve done, have you been productive? Not in the slightest. Productivity cannot be accomplished apart from Christ. ‘I am the vine; you are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I him, he it is that bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing’ (John 15:5).” (p.56)
    • Challenge: Make sure the things you’re doing have eternal value and won’t die with you.

Moleskin:

  • YHC learned yesterday that The Jones should expect an influx of up to 30 PAX with the Tour de Charleston, so modified the workout to be couponless for simplicity. Everything seemed to work well. Each jailbreak + walk-back took about 2 minutes total. The PAX loved/hated the workout. 🙂
  • Welcome FNG “Flat Tire.” Before we even got to the naming part of the COT, he spoke up during the announcements to share a fat tire biking opportunity, and thus was named. He’s a Coast Guard member who has a 10-month-old baby at home. Lives in Summerville. Captain Ron brought him.

Complete Honesty

Yes, what joy for those whose record the LORD has cleared of guilt, whose lives are lived in complete honesty! (NLT) ( Psalm 32:2 )

 

How is it possible for God to clear us of guilt if we aren’t honest about our guiltiness? Many times we hide our sins from ourselves by failing to recognize them or we hide them from others when we aren’t transparent. This verse tells us we can find joy in our honesty and God will clear us of our brokenness. Please don’t use this to condemn yourself of guilt. Instead, use it to positively embrace transparency in your life. Work towards transparency by sharing your struggles with others. They in turn will see Jesus is your strength.

Moleskin:   Today Bedrock celebrated its 4 birthday.  Actual birthday is 7-14.  The PAX showed up and showed out today.  YHC had been sitting on this Q for a while.  Glad to be given the opportunity to execute it. Thanks for letting me lead gentleman.  Fish N Chips and Chum tried hard to steer the Q off the plan but YHC had the Q juice flowing heavy this morning.  T Claps to Gypsy, City Slicker, Splinter, Double Trouble, Swinger, and Show Me for getting in a little SCS action.  We also had 2 spectators from the IR today.  Major Dad and Hospice enjoyed a nice leisurely stroll around the park.  Heal up quick fellas.

Intro: Today was the 4th of July Convergence hosted by the men of The Ditch.  Lots of preparation was put into this to make it a success.  4 stations would be set up and each of them would last 15 minutes long with rotation afterwards to make it a 1 hour long workout.

Conditions: mid 70s, humid, no precipitation

split the PAX into 4 groups.  Group 1 will be with Dabo, Group 2 will be with Friar Tuck, Group 3 will be with Olaf and Group 4 will be with Urkel.  After every 15 minutes the groups will rotate (1 will go to 2, 2 will go to 3, 3 will go to 4 and 4 will go to 1).  Blocks were given to Friar Tuck’s and Urkel’s station.

The Thang: 
Dabo’s station #1: Ultimate Frisbee for 15 minutes. Rotate to station #2 after 15 minutes

Friar Tuck’s station #2: Friar Tucks Palace of Pain. 10 squats with the block, Bearpee across 1st tennis court, Zombie walk across 2nd tennis court, 11 Bobby Hurley’s. Run back to your block, 10 curls for the girls. Rinse and repeat increasing squat and Bobby Hurley’s by 1 rep each time.  Rotate to station #3 after 15 minutes

Olaf’s station #3: a holding position and PAX number ab workout.  For example: the PAX is in a circle and everyone starts in the high plank/merkan position.  Whenever the first person says 1, that person goes down and holds his low plank/low merkan position.  The person to his right says 2, that person goes down and holds his low plank/low merkan position.  Person 3 goes, 4, 5…etc. Continue this pattern until you get back to the first person.  Do this workout for flutterkicks, XOs…etc. Rotate to station #4 after 15 minutes

Urkel’s station #4:  Station 4: Stars and Stripes
PAX carried a block and rotated in a star path through 5 stations (The Star): OHP, lying chest press, OH Tri Ext, CftG and blockees. Upon returning to their starting station, they dropped their blocks and went for a little recovery jog down to the power line poles and back (The Stripe).
After the run they returned to their starting station and started round 2. The first round of stations had four reps of each. It increased four reps each round. AMRAP. Rotate to station #1 after 15 minutes

The July 4th Convergence was a huge success and thank you to all the men that helped make it awesome.  Shout out to Redo, the men that helped bring blocks and to the 4 Q’s to make the convergence superb.  Thank you to everyone that helped clean up afterwards.  The Silencer was awarded back to the Ditch after a comical debate among the PAX lol.  There was some quality 2nd F after the convergence at the Waffle House on hwy 52 as well.  Great job everyone! Happy Independence Day!
