ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT: don’t judge other culture’s rituals and traditions until you fully understand their meaning. I used to complain about certain Chinese dinner and drinking traditions when I would travel to China on business. Recently , I took the time to dig a little deeper to understand the meaning and history of those traditions and I now know that are not based on some loose history but are mostly based on honoring coworkers and business associates and expressing a high level of respect. Some examples- the round table- allows no “head”, everyone is the same. lowering your glass during toast- shows respect for the other. Walking around the table toasting – taking the time to show respect and appreciation. Serving food to visitors- respect. I will not complain about these traditions anymore. I encourage you to take the time to understand the meaning of unique traditions from other cultures when you have the opportunity.

This was a simple workout in design, difficult in practice.

We warmed up and did S L O W (the correct way) cherry pickers, and a few other things before grabbing our bags, and additional sandbags and kettle bells and went to MOTO hill. At the top of the hill, we set the heavy things down and did a set of 20 Monkey Humpers in Cadence at the entrance to the West Side Y. We picked up our heavy things, and went back down the hill.

I explained the Ruck Tabata, which was 6 stations, for 1 minute each, 15 seconds in between stations for a total of 6 times. We were encouraged to wear a vest or ruck at 20-30lbs, then we had weight options at each station if you wanted to dial up the workout. The statins were as follows:
Sandbag Thrusters
Merkins
Sissy Squats
Curls
Good Mornings
Rest

The total elasped time of the above was about 45 minutes, so another trip up Moto hill was in order, to revisit Monkey Humpers and the entrance where we bumped into Swimmies.

We then had a COT talking about the amazing COT that Commission shared on Friday focused on 1 Kings 19:19-21.

Where in your life do you need to be as committed as Elisha?

COT: F3 (and our community of brothers) challenges us to do hard things – physically, mentally, etc. – but one of the hardest things in life, especially as a man, is reclaiming the cheerful heart and jovial innocence that we were born with but have lost along the way. F3 provides the opportunity to experience a safe space amongst brothers where we can let down our guard, be lighthearted, and have fun. It’s okay to be silly, goofy, and playful here because we know that we won’t be judged. We’re surrounded by men who love and trust one another. I believe that we should embrace this opportunity and challenge ourselves and each other to open up, to laugh, and to reclaim the cheerful heart that God has gifted us.
