The Thang

Prosciutto has a great recommendation for routines like this: get a number in your head, get to that number, and rest (only for a sec.), and I recommend the same in this situation with the goal that each Pax completes ~50-60 reps. Please also remember you choose how hard you push yourself, BUT there is another Pax repping it out at Startex.

I had to share with the Pax who, how, and where this ALARMS workout came from. Thanks Pro.

Additional items YHC recognized post workout: the Pax truly helped each other. Somehow, in spite of me, explaining ALARMS all at once with Burrito “helping” me, the Pax stayed on the right exercises and pushed themselves. Great Job men!

A.L.A.R.M.S.

Arms (Dips)

Legs (Cotton Eyed Joes)

Abs (Leg Raises)

Rhomboids (Rows [Bent Over/Upright Superset])

Medials (Sumo Squats)

Sternocostal (Incline Merkins) 

Coopers
At the two opposite corners of the track (generally done in whole lap increments), Pax did 10 reps of the following exercises and decremented from there.

( Burpees, Dolly’s, Merkins) — Due to time constraints, a couple of Paxers maxed at 6. The rest of us maxed at.


COT

YHC had to read the COT prepared simply due to the emotional nature on it. It goes as follows:

I missed some time, not a lot, but plenty enough.  I took time away to adjust some things and improve my character.  I left to fix some things and even blamed F3 (or men in it).
Here is the fact of the matter: I got butthurt. I hit a tailspin. I was headed into a darkness. So, what fixed it and why am I here leading today?
People often say “God will never give you something you cannot handle”, BUT I completely disagree.  Yes, you heard that right. I disagree.
BECAUSE, the devil will give you plenty of things you cannot handle, BUT you will never get something that GOD can’t handle.  Let Go. Want to lead? Learn to relinquish control. Learn to fail and learn. Learn to learn. Learn to love. Learn to love yourself, your family, your friends, your enemies (it’s called forgiveness), BUT most of all GOD. 

P.S. — Let this be my first effort to make amends with the men of F3 who placed but lost trust in me or know me as only a Slack icon.

Moleskin

–Burrito has officially limited my conversations with him.
–Sidekick claims he has bad knees….
–Friar Tuck continually inspires
–Even 50 Grady Corns fails to affect Burrito’s mumblechatter levels
–Burrito — “I could watch you Sumo Squat all day”
–Sidekick — “I am not intelligent enough to use those things, nor am I interested in any bondage devices” (flashbacks of “grab your apparatus” immediately spawned”)
–I’m bad at apologizing for being a Christian, so….sorry not sorry.

    COT

    This week at Sale Creek High School; we are celebrating basketball Homecoming. With this week, we do a “theme day” each day to celebrate in which the students “dress up” based on the theme. Yesterday was “Frat vs. Nerd”, so I dug up an old Pi Kappa Phi “Rush 2007” shirt.

    All that said, the shirt had a oft but underrated quote. “We are what we repeatedly do, Excellence then is not an act, but a habit”. Therefore, as we leave today, make seeking excellence a habit. Work to be an excellent husband, father, brother, and/or friend. It must be habitual.
    Echo closed us in prayer.

              Once speaking at an FCA event, I spoke about Philippians 4:13, and asked if everyone believed it was to be taken literally. Many agreed and proclaimed it was NOT. In the back of the room, I had a VERY heavy object and asked the students if they believed I could move. They again claimed with absolute  certainty I could not. I chose some strong kids throughout to lift the object.

              They soon realized, one can do all things. Christ and his word provides wisdom. It gave me the wisdom to plan ahead to prove the point. One can do ALL things through Christ. Sometimes, however, we must understand that it takes leaning on others for help.

                  I reference a Backblast from Fissure about how tricky Faith can be.  I read it as something slightly different than his intention.  However, it was great to use to discuss faith in this morning’s Gloom.  YHC is a Christian, I make no bones about this, I wear it proudly, BUT I do not judge others who are not ESPECIALLY those in F3.  After 45 minutes of a beatdown, standing in circle, looking at the faces of fellow Pax, one realizes these guys don’t have trouble with faith.  While it might be different, it is DEFINITELY there because each of them believe in something greater than themselves.  We bow our heads or listen to the words; because, we went through adversity together and that SHOULD forge a respect and love for those other Pax in that circle.
                  YHC also quoted scriture from Isaiah 40:28-31.  Read a Rick Warren quote.

                  Pax stayed with the same partner. One Pax completed an exercise while the other moseyed. In increments of 10, the Pax did the following…
