COT:
This was a very special day as we passed the shovel flag off to a new leader, Slappy! It is going to be extremely exciting to see what he does in the role and how Shamrock is going to thrive under his leadership.

We have all heard the quote, “Strong men create good time, good times creat weak men, weak men create bad times, bad times create strong men.” I head some commentary on this quote from Nick Freitas on this and says, “Bad times don’t create strong men, strong men are made by the influence of other strong men.” He goes on to talk about how strong men are there through good times and bad, but in the bad times, strong men are once again appreciated for what they contribute to society.
I instantly thought of F3 and the group of strong men that I have the privilege of working out beside every morning. All of you have made me a stronger man in all areas of my life and I am thankful for every one of you.

Shamrock Gymstacle

THE SCENE: Beautiful summer morning! Low 60’s. Perfect!

F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Yes
WARM-O-RAMA: 

Yoga style! Deep arm stretch, runners pose, downward dog, cobra etc..
THA-THANG:
Shamrock “gymstacle” – a hybrid of a gym and an obstacle course. The soundtrack for the beat down has a “wild artist” (same principle as a wild card). Every song of a “wild artist” doubles the amount of reps for everyone! Today’s “wild artist” – Justin Bieber!  The workout: 30 twinkle toes with CMU’s; Pull ups; Merkins, American Hammers with a heavy ball; Jumping rope; Bench press; Heavy pants; Truck climb; Hand-Elbow plank; Side jumps; Lawnmowers with 60lbs dumbbell; Dumbbell squats. Repeat!

MARY:
No time
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
12 men! Anchorman, Base Salary, Betty, Le Bling, Mermaid, Oscar Meyer, Rubber Duckie, Skid Mark, Slappy, Voo Doo, Tailhook and a FNG – Jar Jar!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
For most of us helping others is a natural tendency. However, there are situations when it is better to let someone finish his or her task without interfering by offering help. Because it might be important for this person to complete his or her task without any assistance.
