March Madness Prep-work

THE SCENE: 34* (chilly after last week’s heat wave)
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:

Cherry Pickers, Rockettes, SSH, Tempo Merkins, Tempo Squats

THA-THANG:
Suicide Ladder down parking lot (approx length of basketball court)

Perform 5 Bobby Hurley’s on one end and 5 Merkins on the other end of the parking lot. Increase your count by 5 for each round completed until the last round consist of 40 Bobby Hurley’s and 40 Merkins.  Congratulations! You just scored 360 points!

Basketball Circuit

Four stations of exercises were set up and HIMs paired up for some battle buddy action. At each station one HIM performed the exercise while the other ran “skill drills” down the parking lot lines. Stations were:

  • Free Throws (20lbs wall balls)
  • I’m Open! (50lbs sandbag curls)
  • Defense! (20lbs sandbag tricep extensions)
  • Granny Shots (40lbs sandbag kettlebell swings)

After the circuit was finished we passed the coupons in a ring of fire both standing and sitting. (Sitting yielded a much better workout.)

To top off the workout we ran sprints down the parking lot and bernie’d back for four rounds.

None

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Romans 8:28 New International Version (NIV)

28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.

This is one of my favorite verses. However, I think it is often taken out of context. We are not promised an easy life on this Earth. Bad things can happen to good people, but this verse tells us that those things will be used by God to bring us closer to Him and ultimately closer to salvation. We also need to use this thought to help us keep our perspective in this world. Don’t allow trivial things to cloud your view of God. Keep looking upward.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
David vs Goliath story shared from I Samuel 17. David selected 5 smooth stones to kill the Philistine. God places stones/things in our life to fight with. David May seem brash and cocky but he recalls God’s faithfulness in the past and claims this for future success.

Equalizer post-game breakdown:

Life Changing Growth doesn’t occur in comfort. You can plan and dream but you eventually have to step out of your norm to experience the joy and often times pain of life changing growth. God goes before us and prepares the way (Vanguard) and He follows us and makes things right (Rearguard). God bless you all today!

We discussed being content in our lives without being complacent. As leaders and HIMs we should strive to improve our own situations instead of waiting for someone else to step up.

Todayxis my sisters birthday. She’s 5 years older than me and the toughest nut you’ll ever meet. She’s an inspiration. She’s a a great sister, sister-in-law, Aunt, wife, and mother. I love her dearly. Encouraged the PAX to be an inspiration to others today! Don’t just suck everybody else’s inspiration- create your own!
MOLESKIN:
We welcomed Whittler from Chatt and overlooked his War Eagle fandom and colorful socks. He is Rusty’s brother-in-law and It was great to have him at the Equalizer! We prayed for Rusty’s upcoming mission trip to Belize- his excitement for this is contagious. May God Bless all involved! Also, shout-out to Pfeiffer for helping me with the Q- it was brutal.
