CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

We need to focus on using our words to build people up instead of tearing people down!  Words matter!  Let’s focus on lifting others up and listening to others.

“Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something!” Plato

MOLESKIN:
I want to thank Stye for stepping up to help Co-Q since I had a radio interview come up; Also, thanks Trolley for taking Stye home after the workout since Stye locked his keys in his truck!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER
WARM-O-RAMA:
Michael Phelps

LBAC x 20 IC each way

Plank Jacks x 20 IC

Hand Release Merkins x 20 OYO
THA-THANG:
Moseyed to end of parking lot.  Took turns rolling 3 dice, green for exercise, other 2 multiplied for number of reps.

  • 1. Burpees
  • 2. Dips
  • 3. Out & Back
  • 4. Merkins
  • 5. Mtn Climbers (4-count)
  • 5. Lt. Dangers

Once again, like the last time we did the dice, the reps tended to stay low (under 20) and we hit the Lt. Dangers a number of times.  Fast-n-Easy was disappointed to not roll 36 burpees.  We nearly made it thru 3 rounds of rolls.

Moved to near the front of the school for some Brickyard (Ascending) Bear Crawls.

Back to starting point for about 5 minutes of dealer’s choice Mary ending with prisoner get-ups

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Talked about loving our neighbors, an ongoing thing at Brickyard.  We need to have God’s love in us to be able to give it to others.  We are to be the example of light to them.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
The WORD today came straight from The Word (i.e. the Bible).  I read a few verses from Matthew 6 (verses 19-21, 25, 26, 33, and 34).  To sum up (please read these yourself), the passage is talking about where our focus needs be:  serving God and therefore getting to Heaven.  Don’t worry about what tomorrow will bring.  Serve God today and “all these things will be added to you”.  It’s not saying what we need will just fall into our lap.  We have to put in some effort, but our focus needs to be on serving Him first because that’s what is truly important.  The trials of this life will be worth it in the end.
MOLESKIN:
Thanks to Booster for the opportunity to Q this morning.  I enjoyed it.  My legs are toast after tackling Jucomanjaro.  That hill is no joke!  Fast-n-Easy did it twice including his pre-ruck!  Trolley showed us how men do box jumps by jumping on top of the table-top instead of the seats of the picnic benches like the rest of us boys.

It was good to meet a few new faces this morning.  I will definitely return to Q again (as long as I am not shunned)!

Windmills, GooseStep Touch, Fast Pinnapple Pickers, Squat Jumps, Burpees.
THA-THANG:

Each HIM grabs a CMU and some chalk and writes a 6×6 grid/table on the ground.   Column names are the exercises.  Row names are the round numbers.

  1. Merkins
  2. 4 count flutters
  3. Squats
  4. Push Press
  5. Star Crunches
  6. Iron Mikes

Do a maximum number of reps possible without pausing.  If you pause for more than one second then that is when you stop for that exercise. That is your failing point and number of reps to record with chalk in that box.  Then give yourself a small rest before beginning the next exercise until failure.

Do as many rounds as possible in the 25 minutes provided.
