F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: 

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH X 20

Cherry pickers x 8

Tempo Squats X 10

Mosey to the short apex and back to the grinder.
THA-THANG:
Grab a battle buddy!  While on partner runs the apex loop, the other plays Uno.  The number of exercises is the number on the card times 10.  When the buddy gets back, he takes over where the other left off.  If you finish and exercise, go ahead and flip a card to start another.  The exercises were as follows:

  • Red = HR merkins.
  • Blue = BBS.
  • Green = Overhead CMU press.
  • Yellow = CMU thruster.
  • Draw 2 = repeat previous exercise.
  • Draw 4 wild = 15 body builder burpees.
  • Wild = 15 pax choice.
  • Skip = 15 Iron mikes (single count)
  • Reverse = 15 inchworms.

MARY:
We planked in a circle while some pax completed a Via Dolorosa bear crawl around the perimeter.  While waiting, we knocked out 10 tempo merkins and 10 Hello Dolly’s and time ran out.
COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
10 men and 2 2.0’s put in work. Much respect to Weebelo and Lumberjack!
CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Reflected on Easter weekend and this quote: “To you I say, do you know what Jesus does with those who squander his mercy? He pours out more mercy. God is rich in mercy.  That’s the whole point.  Whether we have been sinned against or have sinned ourselves into misery, the Bible says God is not tightfisted with mercy but openhanded, not frugal but lavish, not poor but rich.  That God is rich in mercy means that your regions of deepest shame and regret are not hotels through which divine mercy passes but homes in which divine mercy abides.  It means the things about you that make you cringe the most, make him hug hardest.  It means his mercy is not calculated and cautious, like ours.  It is unrestrained, flood-like, sweeping, magnanimous.  It means our haunting shame is not a problem for him, but the very thing he loves most to work with.  It means our sins do not cause his love to take a hit.  Our sins cause his love to surge forward all the more.  It means that on the day when we stand before him, quietly, unhurriedly, we will weep with relief, shocked at how impoverished a view of his mercy-rich heart we had.” ~ from Dane Ortlund’s “Gentle and Lowly: The Heart of Christ for Sinners and Sufferers”, pg. 179-180.
