Nolan Richardson w. Hamm

THE SCENE: It was cold again 26 degrees but the wind was calm. Hamm thought it’d be appropriate to do a Nolan Richardson since he grew up in Arkansas and it just so happened the Vols & Hogs had a huge matchup the same day.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH’s, Cherry Pickers, Windmills, Shoulder Stretch, Triceps Stretch, Some other things maybe?

Basically you are with a partner and there are 6 different exercises with mass repititions. While one partner moves backwards (as if he were playing defense on a b-ball court) for 50 yards, Bobby Hurley’s one time, then sprints back to the partner, the other partner performs the exercise then they switch off.

  • 100 Burpees
  • 300 Squats
  • 100 BBS’s
  • 300 LBAC’s
  • 150 Merkins
  • 300 Imperial Walkers

Since We still had some time left, Hamm had a die that his M just got him for Valentine’s Day. IT has a variety of Exercises on it which have all been done at F3 (though some names are different). So we did that for a while which included lunges, merkins, wall sits, mountain climbers, side planks, etc. etc.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

1-8 (See Tags). Also, we had an FNG we named Gmail primarily because when asked about his first email address he stated it was G-Man@…….. and he since he seemed to be touting for his F3 Nickname to also be G-Man we chose Gmail instead.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
We have Exiles (The experience of afflictive emotions usually as a youngster i.e. shame, anger, etc.)

We Develop Protectors (Managers as socially acceptable ways of compensating or keeping unwanted emotions exiles and Firefighters reactive ways of dealing when the exiles are triggered) Both can be unhealthy ways of not facing our feelings or learning how to cope effectively with life and all it’s difficulties)

Then we have our self or the part of us connected to God that is able to live in reality and on life’s terms. We can use this self energy or connectedness to God to reach our exiles and help our protectors to not be so extreme in their ways.

CSAUP next Month was discussed.
