Ah, the whistle. How the PAX love YHC’s whistle. After twice bailing on a Bedrock Q I felt the whistle was a good mea culpa to make nice with the Bedrock faithful. I’m pretty sure they loved it. They didn’t say it in so many words, but I could feel the love for the whistle.

Conditions: Low 70s, clear.

There were many creative and explicit suggested ideas for silencing the whistle. This was not one of them.

COP

  • Mtn Climbers x20
  • TTT x10
  • Imperial Walker x10
  • LBACs x10 fwd/back
  • Merkins x9
  • WWII situps x11
  • Squats x13

The Thang

Partner up and head for a mosey to the ballfield. Here’s where I divulged the purpose of the whistle: Whenever the whistle blows, stop what you’re doing and execute 5 burpees.

Whistle blows on the way to the ballfield: 1 or 2

Once at the ballfield, partner pairs execute Speed Dora: 50 Macktar N’Djaye, 100 Freddie Mercury, 150 lunges. Partner 1 exercises while partner 2 bear crawls to far line and back. Flapjack until completion. Whistle blows during Speed Dora: 4-5

Mosey to the far end of the parking lot, stopping at the wall near the entrance for 10 Decline Merkins. Whistle blows: 1

At the far end of the lot, PAX lined up and raced around the parking island and back to the starting point, lining up in the order of finish. Then the PAX lined up and raced again, reversing the order so that the last to finish goes first, and each PAX follows in three-second increments. The goal is to catch the man in front of you without being caught by the man behind you. Whistle blows: 0

Return to flag. Whistle blows en route to flag: 2

Mary until the 6 is in (LBCs).

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo: 2 Samuel 11 tells us of David’s affair with Bathsheba and his efforts to cover up his sin. David slid quickly downhill from lusting with his eyes to committing murder. YHC encouraged the PAX to learn from David’s mistakes and be mindful of where we focus our eyes as the distance from our eyes to our hands is a short one.

Moleskin: Been awhile since YHC Q’d at the club. Did you know they do Indian Runs while carrying their drinks there? A good time was had by all. Fish and Chips led the mumble chatter but many contributed.

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.

Conditions: Moist from the rain from the day before, but slightly cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward x10 IC), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
After the warm-up, Pax gathered at the spot we normally do the Cardiac, and got the instructions for the Tabata’s being done during the workout…40 seconds of hard work, followed by 20 seconds of rest.  Here were the exercises done for each Tabata:
-Merkins
-Squats
-Wide Merkins
-LBCs
-Burpees

Began the Thang:
-Tabata #1
-Mosey to wiffle ball field the back way
-Tabata #2
-Mosey to the big baseballs at the front of the park
-Tabata #3
-Mosey to the parking lot closest to the baseballs
-Roundabout 7s w/ jump-squats and hand-release merkins (same idea as typical 7s, just running around the parking lot, and doing the exercises at each end of the oval, instead of running back and forth) – Had to cut this a little short to make sure we had time for Mary…but most people got close to finishing
-Mosey back to the flag, w/ the ruckers taking the lead

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ a social & fundraising event at Shortcake’s farm at 1pm.  Bring 2.0s to the workout, and bring 2.0s and Ms to the event at the farm. 4th of July Convergence at the Ditch…Bedrock will not be open that day.  LQ at Stalker’s house tonight.

Devo: Father’s Day may be a day to celebrate the one’s with us with kids, but use that day to be mindful of what it takes to be a good father, and then follow through with that throughout the year.

Moleskin:   Typically, the 2nd Thursday of the month is when the Cardiac (monthly fitness test) is held at Bedrock.  But this month, it has been moved to the end of the month as a part of Beast Week, so I was contractually obligated to NOT do the Cardiac.  So we did not do the Cardiac.  Any similarities that today’s workout had with the Cardiac were purely coincidental.  Also, shout-out to Wreck-It Ralph and DeFib as they ignored my disclaimer that today’s workout wasn’t the friendliest to ruckers, and they still did it w/ their rucks on most of the time.

Conditions: Hot/Muggy

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward OYO), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
Each man grabs a cinder block, and then I divided the Pax into groups of 3 (though I had to have two groups of 4 due to having 17 Pax).  At all times during the workout, one member of your group will be carrying, one will be running, and one will be exercising.  The ‘carrying’ member will transport two cinder blocks around the dirt parking lot.  While he is doing that, another member of the team will be running sprints between the entrance of the dirt parking lot, and the light pole on the right.  The third member of the group will be performing an exercise.  Once the block carrier returns, trade places so that all members will go through a cycle of Carrying/Running/Exercising.  Once all members have completed the first exercise, they move onto the next.  The exercises were:
-Flutter Kicks w/ the block
-Blockees
-Overhead Press
-Curls for the Girls
And then we ran out of time.

Moleskin:   YHC really doesn’t like carrying cinder blocks.  I especially don’t like to carry two at a time.  But for some reason, I felt like we needed a workout that incorporated a lot of cinder block carrying.  Unfortunately, not all cinder blocks involved in the workout made it out alive.  We had one casualty, and we made sure to pay tribute with 10 burpees.  Hopefully all of the Pax got a good workout today so that the cinder block’s life wasn’t lost in vain.

Each man grabs a cinderblock and reassembles at the flag; YHC explain that I’ll be giving the Pax some individual choices about the exercises they can do…
-Decision #1 – 15 OH Press or 15 Triceps Extension (single count OYO)
-Decision #2 – 15 Curls for the Girls or 15 Bent-Over Rows (single count OYO)
-Decision #3 – 15 Chest Presses or 15 Dammits (single count OYO)
-Do a second set of the same three exercises you did above, 15x each single count OYO
-Mosey to the bridge
-Decision #4 – Bear-crawl or Crab-walk back and forth between bridge rails (2x)
-Decision #5 – 15 Decline Merkins or 15 Triceps Dips after crossing the road each time w/ whatever method you picked in #4 above.
-Mosey to wall…due to large turnout, had Pax split up between low wall and high wall.
-Decision #6 (low wall) – Box Jumps or Toe Taps (for one minute)
-Decision #7 (high wall) – People’s Chair or Plank w/ feet on wall (for one minute)
-After one minute, Pax switch walls and make a decision there.
-Mosey to far parking lot
-Decision #8 – Stayin’ Alives w/ choice of 3 burpees or 10 squats after returning to the start each time.
-Mosey back to the wall
-YHC now uses the Pax’s earlier choices against them.  They have to do the exercise they avoided in Decisions #6 & #7 for 90 seconds each.
-Mosey to bridge
-Pax must do the exercises/movements they avoided in Decisions #4 & #5…crossing the road 4x, and doing 10 reps of each of the exercises from Decision #5 each time.
-Ran out of time, so moseyed back to the circle and stowed the blocks

Devo: You face a lot of choices in life.  And often times, you don’t get the benefit of hindsight.  So if you make a decision and it turns out poorly due to circumstances that you could not have reasonably foreseen, then there’s no reason to beat yourself up over it.

Moleskin:   YHC was long overdue to start Qing, so after facilitating the Cardiac at Bedrock a couple of times, and after co-Qing w/ Sprinkles a couple of months ago, I finally stepped up w/ my first real solo Q.  The turnout by the Pax was amazing and forced YHC to have to modify the Weinke a bit due to our size.  Also, this Weinke had a lot of instructions for the Pax, so the large numbers worried me a bit, but I was able to cut through the mumble chatter and get everyone on the same page most of the time.  I didn’t quite get to everything on the Weinke due to time, but I feel like the Pax got their heartrate up and got a solid beatdown.  YHC learned quite a bit from this first solo Q, and I look forward to leading again soon.

The Thang:  Thunderstruck plank/merkins.  If plank is broke run down to the second handicapped parking spot on left hand side and back

YHC called out the months of the year in order.  If you birthday falls in that month take off running towards the baseballs at the entrance.  Goal is to pass the man in front of you and not get passed.

Once at the baseballs at the entrance YHC explained we would use the Ace as a one and the King would be discarded (well kind of).  (For example January would be Ace, February would be the 2 etc)  When your birth month was called get ready to run to the gate and back.  Don’t start until the you hear “exercise”.  Remaining PAX would do exercises until runner returned.  Exercises were as follows:

Diamonds-Carolina Dry Dock; Hearts-Mountain Climbers; Clubs-Good Mornings; Spades-WWI Situps

Got through roughly half the deck.

Form up in 2 columns.  Indian run to the last light pole on the left before the flag.  Man in front controls the pace.  Once at the light pole separate into 2 groups.  January-June birthdays and then June through December.  First group jail break to the flag.  Second group jail break to the flag.

To Be Happy

So I concluded there is nothing better than to be happy and enjoy ourselves as long as we can. (NLT) ( Ecclesiastes 3:12 )

Do you acknowledge your happiness?  Often times, we don’t recognize our happiness in the moment but instead look back years later saying it was the happiest time of our lives.  Take joy in your current happiness, even if it is circumstantial.  Let’s do a better job of realizing our happiness and not be a person who walks around happy and not even knowing it.  What makes you happy today?

Moleskin:  YHC slept through the first alarm this morning so had to rush around and get out the door to make it on time.  Took a little while to get woke up.  As usual, the Thunderstruck Plank/merkins drew a lot of complaining.  High Stick said “damn you Sakrete” as he took off running.  Waldo said “you have made me hate Thunderstruck.  I didn’t realize that was possible”.  For the first time since I have been doing the plank merkins we had 3 guys last the entire song without breaking plank.   That’s impressive.  Good on you Yo Adrian, Spot Me and Chilly Willy.  The deck of cards took a few minutes to get explained thoroughly enough for everyone to grasp what we were doing.  That had to be on account of me not explaining correctly.  Everyone powered through and got in a good workout.
