CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Growing up playing sports, I was a pretty good athlete. Having not exercised a lot since college, I still thought F3 would be pretty easy.  Was I wrong.  F3 definitely keeps you humble but God wants us to be humble.  In humility we are reminded to value others above ourselves.

Philippians 2: 3-8
MOLESKIN:
This being my VQ, it kept me humble because it can be a challenge to lead the workout and do the actual workout. Overall though, it was a good experience.

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)!

Maximus Decimus Meridius

THE SCENE: Muggy slugs.   A nice goose poop shlack covered the parking lot.
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER : Know thyself.
WARM-O-RAMA:
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.

MARY:
Side crunches. Supermans, Bicycles, Groiners. Windmills, T-Bombs, Low Country Crab Boils.  Run around circle of men on six pushing down leg lifts.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
