COT and prayer led by chowdah

Devo:  ephesians 6: 12- for our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms!

For me, this spoke about wrestling with the Devil and wrestling with God and how they are similar but opposite.  The battlefield is in the mind, and if you are not careful which voice you allow to speak over you, you either accept blessings or curses.

I also spoke about my personal struggle, and that If I am not keeping goals in my life, mind and heart, then I tend to let the devil in more.  Hence, sheepdog and me ALL IN!

FREED TO LEAD!  -chowdah, AYE!

Moleskin: Microwave noted this would be short because there was not a lot of mumble chatter today. One commentator’s note:  All cinder blocks are not created equal. T-Claps to Defib and Splinter for having the big boy blocks today.

Conditions:   Humid

FNGs:  None

COP:  SSH, Hillbillies, Terrible Ts, Don Quiote, Squats

The Thang:

Grab a brick for each hand and mosey to Jingle’s Hill stopping along the way for Hammer Curls and Overhead Claps.

Two rounds of 7s at Jingle’s Hill:

  • Merkins / Big Boy Sit-ups
  • WWI Sit-ups / Terrible Ts

Mosey home stopping for Overhead Claps and Hammer Curls.

Mary:  No time

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo:   In Revelation 5 the prayers of the saints are depicted as incense in the throne room of God. YHC shared how the prayers of believers are all heard by God, with no exception. He doesn’t grow weary of hearing our prayers and doesn’t miss any. Take heart that there is a God who wants to hear your prayers.

Moleskin: Another muggy July morning here in Summerville. The PAX still ran hard. The bricks added just a little more suck to the run out to Jingle’s Hill.

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

Conditions: Typical summer morning…warm and muggy

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x25 IC; TTT x10 IC; Mountain Climbers x15 IC; LBAC Forward & Backward OYO; Slow mosey around dirt parking lot

The Thang:
-Grab a Cinderblock and gather at the flag.
-I dealt one playing card to each person (with FNC & Bangers sharing a card, along with Placebo and myself sharing a card, due to #s).  We then arranged ourselves in the order of those cards.  I gathered up the cards, shuffled a whole deck, and placed that deck on the ground in the traffic circle.
-Beginning with the person with the low-card (in this case, Microwave), each man would bear crawl around the traffic circle, taking a card as they finished (which is the first card of their five-card stud poker hand, hidden from the rest of the pax).  As that person began his bear crawl, he’d call out an exercise for the pax to do (can be with or without a block).
-Once everyone did their bear crawl and got their first card, we gathered at the entrance to the traffic circle and did a jailbreak to the lightpost on the right and back.
-Repeated the process of going around the traffic circle one-at-a-time to get a card, but this time, instead of bear crawling, we did lunge walks.  Again, each person called out an exercise for the pax to do while he went around the circle. (after that process, everyone had two cards)
-Due to time, on the third round around the circle, we did it in groups of 4 or so men, going around the circle doing burpee broad jumps.
-Another audible called…on the fourth go-around, we all went at the same time, doing sumo squats, and we each grabbed our final two cards.  Making a five-card poker hand.
-Time to play a hand of poker.  Beginning with Microwave, we went in turn, with each person deciding whether they wanted to stay in the hand or fold.  If you stay in the hand and win, you do 5 burpees.  If you fold, you do 10 burpees.  If you stay in the hand and lose, you do 15 burpees.  And if you fold, but had a hand that would have beaten the winner, you have to do 20 burpees for being a coward.  I believe 6 or so people stayed in the hand (and none of the folded hands would have won).  Placebo (and I as his partner) were the winners w/ 2 pair.
-Backward bear crawl around the traffic circle as a group.
-Stow blocks

Mary: Reverse figure four crunch x10 on Q, each leg; Heel Touches x25 IC; LBCs x25 IC

Numberama: 12

Namerama: Easy In, Mayhem, Placebo, Chum, Pretzel, Fish n Chips, Bangers, Microwave, Flanders, Defib, Horshack, Waldo

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Talk to Hot Spot if you’re interested in being in the Sheepdog program.

Devo: In life, you can’t always control the cards you are dealt, but it is up to you to play them as well as you can.  And sometimes you have to regroup and fight another day.

Moleskin: I’ve wanted to do a poker-themed workout for a while now, but hadn’t been able to figure out the best way to do it.  I’m not sure this was the best way, but I thought it went pretty well.  I liked keeping the group in one general location for the whole hour, which led to plenty of good mumble-chatter.  I may bring this one back someday, with some modifications.

COP

SSH x2

Through the Tunnel x10

Imperial Walker x10

LBAC x 10

Partner up and step off for a string of pearls to Oak View Way (the long way, roughly .8 miles) to keep the group together. Once there, the PAX discovered that YHC had already been hard at work, placing 12 glowsticks along the curb at roughly 40-foot intervals. One of the PAX noted it looked like a landing strip. At the first glowstick, Partner 1 ran to the second glowstick and held plank while partner 2 executed 25 squats. Partner 2 then runs to the third glowstick and holds plank, alerting Partner 1 along the way that it’s his turn to do squats. Continue until you reach the last glowstick. Return to the first glowstick the way we got there, subbing in American Hammers for the squats. String of pearls back to the AO.

Moleskin:   Time for a field trip.  Took advantage of the hour workout this morning and took a field trip to the concrete beast.  Jailbreaks are a good way to get heart rate up.  So are burpees.  We did a lot.  If I remember correctly Motherboard joined the ranks of people to make it through Thunderstruck without having to run.  Short list.  Thanks for the opportunity to lead

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

Conditions:   56 degrees

FNGs:  None

COP:  SSH, LBAC, Don Quiote, Hillbilly Terrible Ts

The Thang:

Divide into groups and split up between three stations. Each group spends 10 min at each station and then rotates.

Block Station:  Curls for the Girls, Overhead Press, Squats. Twenty Reps each. Rinse and repeat.

Tennis Court Station:  11s with LBCs and Flutter Kicks. Add suicides if you finish the 11s in under 10 minutes.

Tire Station:  Partner up and complete a combo of tire jump, Burpee, and Tire Flip. Keep going for 10 min.

Mary:  WW2 Sit-Ups, Heel Taps, Plank, Terrible Ts

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo: Quick word from Daniel 1 about not compromising. Daniel and his companions didn’t compromise their beliefs when they were told to eat the food of the king. God blessed their obedience and faithfulness. We face situations everyday where we will be tempted to compromise. Walk the straight and narrow path and don’t stray.

Moleskin:  The tire jump/flip/burpee station was certainly the most challenging for YHC. The PAX seemed to appreciate the variety of challenges brought by today’s workout. We continue to the double-digit streak at Seismic.

Nineteen dudes did some window shopping along Richardson Square at Seismic on Tuesday, April 20. Turns out there’s a lot of ways you can get into carious kinds of trouble along our picturesque Little Main. What’s your poison? Caffeine? Pills? Alcohol? Axes? You can have it all. Here’s how it all went down.

Conditions: Clear, pleasant. Dry.

COP

Partner up and step off for a string of pearls to the square to keep the group together. Once there, at the first street light by Cuppa Manna, Partner 1 ran to the second street light and held plank while partner 2 executed 25 squats. Partner 2 then runs to the third street light and holds plank, alerting Partner 1 along the way that it’s his turn to do squats. Continue until you reach Guerin’s Pharmacy for a total of 13 street lights. Return to Cuppa Manna the way we got there, subbing in American Hammers for the squats. String of pearls back to the AO for 2.5 minutes of Mary.
