WARM-O-RAMA:

SSH x20 IC

THA-THANG:
Do the following exercises at the pavalon:

  • Bent over rows x10
  • Mr. Spectacular x10
  • CMU Curls x15
  • Goblet Squats x20

Then bear crawl across the whole grinder. If you walk or can’t go any further, do 15 burpees and jog to the end (I believe everyone made the bear crawl). Next, do the following exercises at the scrapyard:

  • Pullups x10
  • BBS x20
  • Dips x15
  • Flutter kicks x15 on 4-count

Run down the path to the road and do 5 bodybuilders, then run back around to the pavalon and rinse and repeat. Instead of the bear crawl, lunge to the far edge of the bathrooms and jog the rest of the grinder.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Lately I have had failure on my mind. I lost 30 pounds in my first four months of F3, now I’ve gained some of that back and have not hit my goals. So I feel failure. I failed a couple CPA exams already. Failure. I haven’t really prayed much at all in the last year or two. Failure. But the biggest failure came on Tuesday when we had to put our 2 year old cat down. My wife is an animal lover and especially loved this little cat. She has been depressed and crying for two days now. I can’t help but feel like a failure as a husband because I can’t make it better. Nothing that I say or do will make her feel better or stop her from being sad. But I realized that what I need to do is offer it all up to God. I’ve prayed more in the last two days than I have in the last two years. I’ve been praying for peace for my wife and that led to praying about all of the other things that make me feel like I have failed. I encourage you men to turn to God earlier than I did. Anytime you feel like you have failed, offer it up to God and have a conversation with him. We sometimes feel like it is all on us when in reality, all we have to do is turn our eyes to heaven for some help.
