KISS – Keep it Simple, Stupid
Sometimes we overcomplicate our lives unneccesarily. I find when things feel out of control complicated, I just need to take it back to basics. Merkins, Squats, Big Boys. When life feels too overcomplicated and I’m stressed out, I go downstairs and hit the pull-up bar, do some merkins or big boys. All of a sudden I can see a little more clearly. Exercise sharpens the mind as well as the body.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
My son broke a window playing baseball. I got mad about it and cleaned it up. As I was cleaning it up the thoughts of my childhood and the many things I broke, burned, blew up, destroyed, etc. came to mind. It gave me the wonderful opportunity to apologize to my son for getting mad and to remember my example to my sons. Yes, they will break things we love and can’t really afford to fix many more times, but it is always a chance to grow and to help them grow through easy lessons (broken window) to the hard ones…which I know are coming.

Dont Drop the CMU

THE SCENE: Cool and sunny
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

  • Cherry Pickers x10 IC
  • Tempo Squats x10 IC
  • Merkins x10 IC

THA-THANG:
Goal of the workout – never set your CMU down. If you set it down, you’re responsible for keeping track of how many times. Total number of times it is set down by the group will result in certain punishment… see below.

  • 11’s on Crumpet – Squats at top, Blockees at bottom, Bernie up the hill each time.

CMU Kraken

  • 20 Curls, 20 Flutter Kicks, 20 OH Press, 20 Upright Rows, 10 CMU Swings, 20 Merkins, 20 Thrusters, 20 Squats

Punishment – The number of times CMU’s were set down results in that many reps of a specific exercise. Since there was only 3 of us, Hammy decided to give us a multiplier of 12 which was an unwise decision.

  • 0-30 = Burpees
  • 31-60 = Merkins
  • 61+ = Squats

We totaled only setting down the CMU’s 3 times, but since Goldfinger only had one fully functional hand, we took one of those away. So our ending was… 24 Burpees!

MARY:
LBC’s for the last minute because that’s all we had left.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
Only 3 due to MMMM. FNG Goldfinger
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I’ve been hit with stress from multiple sides throughout the last few weeks. More than I usually ever have to deal with. I’ve found myself needing to turn to God a lot more and praying about it. Always remember He is one you can turn to in your time of need. He will never turn you away.

Matthew 18:12, The Parable of The Lost Sheep.  Be willing to leave the 99 and go after the lost 1.  Be a good shepherd.  This is Christ-like, a great leadership trait, and ultimately pleasing to God.  It’s also part of our F3 philosophy of leaving no man behind.
