  • South Pole Bound

    Q: Hogs Breath

    This was the [Louisiana] VQ of Hogs Breath. The wind was whipping and the 51* sure felt like we were heading to the South Pole! Trying to pull history into the Q, Hogs Breath found out that on 14 Dec 1911 Ronald Amundsen and four men reached the South Pole. Water Pick arrived to confusion finding that Hogs Breath had already planted a shovel flag!

    DISCLAIMER: Given

    Warmup: 

    10 Mount Man Poopers, 10 Arm Circles (in all directions), 10 Hairy Rockettes, Alligator Merkins across the basket ball court.

    THE THANG

    Grabbing coupons we began our “restrictor plate march” aka an Indian run while we carried cinder blocks. The pax began a brisk walk toward the lakefront, while the six would sprint to the front, utilizing a variety of different holds with the block. Shout out to Hammer who complited the March, only two days after a vasectomy!!!! The march still allowed for much mummblechatter on the way!

    Once we arrived at the lakefront, starring at an ominous rising sun, we circled up to continue our South pole inspire beat down. We did a 5×5 of:

    S- squats

    O- one arm merkins

    U- up right rows

    T- thrusters

    H- Hydrohalic squats

    After each round we took a 10 second countdown in a rotating fashion.

    Then… We had to return back to the flag. Continuing our restrictor plate march.

    Upon arriving the Q had a brainfart and though we had an extra 15 mins instead of our 6 mins. Luckily Bushwacker corrected him and we rounded out with 6 MoM;

    25 SSH

    Gas Pumps

    Big Boy Sit ups

    Heels to heaven / leg lifts

    And rounded it out to 100 100s

    Ended with Number-O-Rama, Name-O-Rama, COT

    MOLESKIN
    Words of Wisdom: “Victory awaits him who has everything in order…luck we call it.

    Defeat is definitely due for him who has neglected to take the necessary precaution…bad luck we call it.

    Adventure is just bad planning”

  • DEFCON: Battle Ready for Spiritual Warfare

    Many of you know I lost my job in September and went through some spiritual warfare for a couple of months. I did a devotion called DEFCON that helped me through, and vowed to share it when I got a job (offer came in last week and I start Dec 21). Feel free to share with others if you know of anyone who is struggling.  https://www.bible.com/reading-plans/17793-uncommen-defcon

    YHC arrived 15 minutes early to a rainy gloom thinking of the 3rd core principle of F3: All workouts are held outdoors, rain or shine. A lonesome Russo was hanging by the flag, and soon the pre-thang group arrived. Some mumblechatter ensued, and more pax walked out of the shadows.

    6:30 – Couple of comments from the PAX about my laminated Wiki (preparedness), and we circled up ready to begin. In the distance, a tall limping figure emerged with a short toe-head sidekick, and @the-hammer and Pickaxe joined us. Although literally he was a little less of a man this morning, he was much more of a man for posting the day after surgery.

    Great to see @maverick back in action. Missed @shooter today, but you get a hall pass on the fartsack, Friday’s lead at the A1C looked brutal!

    THANG: DEFCON – 5 STAGES OF DEFENSE READINESS CONDITIONS TO PREPARE FOR SPIRITUAL BATTLES

    We as men need to be ready to fight our personal and spiritual battles of the world because we fight a war every day. We went through each DEFCON stage and code name, with a thought on how we can apply defense readiness daily in our lives – and a beatdown to follow each stage

    DEFCON 5 – FADE OUT

    • Low state of readiness, everyone is at peace
    • Romans 12: 9-21 – Love those who persecute you – respond in love and kindness to others no matter what.  And let God handle the vengeance”.

    DEFCON 4 – DOUBLE TAKE

    • Increased security measures, God steps in to protect
    • Exodus 14: 13 – Moses said to the Israelites: Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the Lord will bring you. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The Lord will fight for you; you only need to be still

    SLOW x10 IC  Dirkin, Freak Nasty, Irkin, Diamond Irkin, Wirkin, Diamond Dirkin

    @bushwacker pointed out we were on the lowest point of the seawall, which I was happy about after this round.

    DEFCON 3 – ROUND HOUSE

    • Elevation in Readiness:  people are being alerted, preparation is key
    • 2 Timothy 4:2 –   Preach the Word, be prepared in and out of season: correct, rebuke, encourage – with great patience and careful instruction

    DEFCON 1 – COCKED PISTOL

    • Sound the Alarm. We go to war. We do not fight alone, but with a heavenly warrior to help us defeat the beast.  
    • Revelations 19: 11-16 – A warrior riding on a white horse called Faithful and True. He wages war with justice, eyes of blazing fire, many crowns upon his head, robe dripped in blood. Followed by the armies of heaven on white horses, dressed in fine linen, white and clean. Ruling with an iron scepter. On his robe and his thigh he  has his name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS

    Ohno, YHC was doing the exercise wrong as @bushwacker pointed out, and Akbar may have created yet another exercise – the squat walk shuffle?
