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.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Quote from CS Lewis about God’s work in you. God’s work in you can be painful and not easy. The work shows that he cares. He is 100% holy so he builds a palace worthy of his holiness. 

“Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps, you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to? The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of – throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage: but He is building a palace. He intends to come and live in it Himself.”

― C.S. Lewis, Mere Christianity

“Friendship … is born at the moment when one man says to another “What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . .”

― C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves

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.
