The Prodigal Backblaster returns…

So, after all the crap I talked about writing Back Blasts, I (naturally) am nearly a week late with this one… Showed up to The Ranch and I had heard rumors of FNGs joining us, but didn’t expect 3!

Extended disclaimer, short mental change in weinke and message and off we went…

Welcome to Brass

Moleskin:
– I tried (not sure how successful it was, or how well I explained it) to emphasize with this workout how we gradually grow together as men in our relationships (particularly within F3).
We start with 1st F. We have some guy who gave enough positive pressure to get us out there at 0515. So the first circuit was done with your partner simply holding you accountable for the exercises being done. Make sure the merkins are actual merkins, not just shoulder shrugs in a plank position, that sort of thing…
We progress to the 2nd F. You wouldn’t be able to make it through the next circuit of exercises without cooperating with a partner. In a similar way, you won’t make it through your life as a HIM without some coordinated effort from other men in your life (think Whetstone program).
Then move deeper to the 3rd F. Partner Carries. This circuit represented how on occasion in our lives we may need complete reliance on another man to carry us forward. It also makes me think of how, in my personal faith, we all have complete and total reliance on one Man that we will get NOWHERE without, and that is our Savior and friend, Jesus Christ.
– I think I figured out another big reason why I don’t like writing BBs, and so I procrastinate doing it and such. I feel a lot of pressure to try and make them perfect. I have recognized in my own life a lot, that I won’t do certain things for fear that they will not be “perfect”. Whatever that means. It’s a silly form of self-paralyzation that simply must be removed from our characters.

That’s all I got. It’s imperfect, but it’s done.

Helmet, out.
