MJ Day

MJ Day @ Shamrock (2-3-23)

THE SCENE: A chilly 32° but DRY with a full moon in the backdrop.

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER

WARM-O-RAMA:
20 SSH, 30 sec of Iron Mike’s, 23 Bobby Hurley’s, & 15 4-count mtn. climbers w/ merkin & plank position hold after every 5 reps.

THA-THANG:

  • Mosey up to stadium turf
  • Line up across West goal line
  • Pyramid style Q (5,10,15, 20…etc.)
  • Red vs Blue …1v1 w/ each Pax calling out an exercise (get creative) before the roll off, high roll wins (red wins tie 🎲🎲), cumulative sum of 4 die determines reps to perform at goal line…23 burpees was not an ideal Craps roll today 😩
  • After Pax winners choice of exercise, lunge to 5 yd line, perform 2 burpees, mosey back to goal line
  • Make it, Take it (winner keeps red die and invites next challenger)
  • Repeat this cycle with incremental increase in lunge distance by 5 yds (10, 15, 20 etc…ending at the 50)
  • For the 2nd half (50, 45, 40 etc.), Butt kicks up, 3 burpees, mosey back to goal line
  • We called time half way through the 2nd half, Mercy rule enacted

MARY:
Random ab exercises led by Mermaid & Hooptie for a brief stint.

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA

20 STRONG with 2 FNG’s. Welcome Brimstone & Finish Him (revised from Old School during coffeeteria). Please come back to Shamrock soon, loved seeing you in the gloom!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

MJ was known for putting his team on his back and willing his team to victory, yet…

How often do we shoulder the weight of the world and selfishly take on life in solitary confinement? Satan is crafty at alienating us in this thinking (man up, bear it ourselves). Yet worldly strength will always fail us at some point. Obtain our strength from above!  No matter what comes…physical ailments, relationship struggles, financial burdens. He’s with us and has given us the ultimate victory through His Son. Trust the strongest entity in the universe. He’s an amazing God and is ALWAYS there to assist. Don’t resist!

SCRIPTURE: Numbers 23:22 KJV & Psalms 37:23 NASB
PRAYER REQUESTS:
– Free Fall & family after the loss of their dog. Peace and comfort in this difficult time. Praying happy memories prevail in the long run.
– Venus for his days ahead and road to a more sound, godly lifestyle which reaps dividends in the future. We’re here for you brother, lean on us if needed.
Thank you for coming and enjoy your weekend gents!

A bitter cold day

THE SCENE: Really Freaking cold
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
We started moving ASAP, big muscle groups with merkins & squats as well as motivators.
THA-THANG:
We ran loops around the campus keeping the body temps warm.
At the church columns, we did lunges, and then timed wall squats.
At the statue of Jesus near the gym, we did 7’s with merkins and dips.
At the school entrance near the baseball field we focused on core.
And at the CMU’s we briefly did a few reps with the blocks.
We hit every station twice, except the blocks which we handled only once.

MARY:
We ran out of time.

Motivators from 6,Tempo Merkins, Tempo Squats, Little of this, little of that, cherry pickers

THA-THANG:

Metric Workout #1

(Every man will need 1 CMU)

Set a timer for 30 minutes.
Complete as many cumulative reps as you can in that time.

The following list of exercises are performed in sets of 25 reps. After completing a set of 25 reps, put down your CMU, run 25 yards, do 2 burpees, return to your CMU, and continue.

 

Here are the exercises:

– 150 curls
– 125 heavy squats
– 100 OHP
– 75 CMU swings
– 50 Thrusters
– 25 Blockees

When you finish the Blockees, start back at the top with curls.

 

It will look like this:

25 curls → 25 yard run → 2 burpees → 25 yard run → 25 curls…repeat until 150 curls are finished, then switch to squats…etc.

Once through the entire circuit is 525 reps (burpees do not count toward total).

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Essentialism is fundamentally about designing and taking control of your life. The same amount of energy, when directed purposefully, can bring you much closer to your goal. Know the right things you must do, reject everything else and direct your time and energy to create the biggest impact where it matters.

We choose how to spend our time and energy. 2) Almost everything is noise and very few things are exceptionally valuable. 3) We can’t have it all or do it all.

Phillipians 4:8 – Finally brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I recently cleaned out my closets and donated many items.  It was the inspiration to wear some of the “GEMS” I rediscovered when I was cleaning to the workout this morning.  We talked about the importance of donating some of the things that we are not using to others who could put them to use.  In addition, I asked that we consider to be vulnerable and share our struggles as well as our experiences.  Others in the group may find value in the struggles and experiences we share.  We build a community and bonds when we share these experiences, and as men we sometimes hoard our feelings and emotions, and this is a safe space to share them.

FNG Teamster needs to be added when a tag is created.
