We need tribute

Leave a comment

WARMUP: quick mosey, SSH, and windmills
Mumblechatter was strong during the warmup, one might say distracting, so we cut that short to get to lifting
THE THANG:
in each of four corners exercises were laid out for rounds 1, 2, and 3
Corner 1: goblet squat, rack squat, lunge
Corner 2: curls, tricep extension, skull crusher
Corner 3: American hammer, window wiper, flutter press
Corner 4: chest press, merkin, half Turkish getup

In the middle is the plyometric box. 5lb dumbells, and a 60lb sandbag

Split up into two teams. Go to a corner. The team does the exercise for the round they are on while their tribute runs to the middle to do one of three exercises for 10 reps. All teams continue their reps until every tribute has returned to their teams.
Tributes may do box jumps (or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehWXqlCElEc on the box), or deadlifts. Count is 10.
MARY: none
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Mens Shelter, 4th convergence, Barry
COT: circle of TRUST. Trust was requested, not a prayer chain, no trust was bestowed so the Q assumes everyone is in top form at home. End with a prayer according to the Q’s faith.

WARMUP: not at MP
THE THANG: Running was the game. Up Massey to gas station. Each stop was 5 Spider-Man merkins, 10 CDD. Next stop was corner of Aubrey for same 5 and 10. To Skipper cross road for 5 and 10. All the way to the City Hall office building (I think it’s called), 5 and 10. Up to the painful glass filled parking lot for 5 and 10. To the print shop for 5 pull ups, 5 and 10, then 5 pull ups again. To the corner down by burrito place, 5 and 10. To COT, 5 and 10. Back up to gas station, 5 and 10. Down the street past the park to 160, 5 and 10. All the way back to COT, 5 and 10.

Then to the church 4 corners for…5 and 10. Shortcut back to print shop for Soup, earned $1, but up the hill and back to print shop for the rest of us for the 5, 5, 10, 5 series.

Then back to COT.

One to Ten

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Yea, it’s a good thing. We did that.
THE THANG: String of Pearls…classic. Mosey and stop occasionally for:

– Merkins
– Squats
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Lunges (2 is 1)
– Dips
– Monkey Humpers
– LBCs
– Mountain Climbers (2 is 1)
– Plank Jacks
– Flutters (in cadence)

Started with 1 rep or each, which Bonsai believes was barely worth coming down from the mountain for. And added a rep each time we stopped. We got to 10

MARY: Was mostly build in, but we did some hip flexibility in the last few minutes.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 7/3 service date at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/9040A45A4A929A4F49-56341795-bethel#/ could use some signup help and some hands the day of. If you’re in town on 7/3, make an effort to help serve.

COT: What are you moderating that is helpful to you? What are you moderating that is unhelpful? What SHOULD you be moderating more?

Forecast: Pain with a 100% Chance of Perspective

Leave a comment

Conditions: It poured all night. But as I pulled up—miraculously dry skies and just enough gloom to get uncomfortable.

YHC rolled in not knowing if anyone would show after a night of monsoon-style weather. But there they were—cars parked, PAX ready. Let’s go.

⸻

? Warm-Up (Standard Flow):
• Imperial Walkers – Yes, right there on the damp pavement.
• LBCs – Because we like getting uncomfortable.
• Superman w/ Ripcord Pull – To wake up those neglected back muscles.

Then we moseyed to the front entrance for Global Warming – Al Gore hold while each PAX delivered 30 monkey humpers. Humbling. And hilarious.

⸻

? Testimony Drop – Part 1:
Shared some of my story—growing up in California, an early move to Connecticut, and the brokenness that began to shape me.

⸻

? Main Work: The Grinder Loop (4 Rounds):

Each Round:
• 20 Irkins
• 30 Bulgarian Split Squats (15/leg)
• 20 Dips
• 5 Burpees
Then: Lap around the front of the middle school.

Confessions flowed like sweat:
• Round 1: Life in a 1% MC environment. Drugs. Death. Uncertainty.
• Round 2: Homelessness. Fighting. Survival. Muscle-up stop on the hill.
• Round 3: Dropping out. Prison visits. Grief. Grace.

⸻

? COT:
Slow walk back. Talked about how I didn’t just get through the storm—I was cleansed by it. Not because I was strong… but because the Spirit wouldn’t let go.

⸻

? Announcements:
[Insert relevant AO or region updates]

? Prayers & Praises:
Spoken and unspoken. We’re in this together.
