BHAG at the Hive

YHC was making up for a missed Q two weeks ago due to sickness. As I was reviewing previous backblasts, I came up with a Big Hairy Audacious Goal for the workout to circle the entire FMHS while carrying the KB with pain stations along the way. I hadn’t seen it done so that was the plan.

Weather was perfect. Felt like an early Fall and time for college football.

WARMUP:

SSH x 10
Windmills x 10
Merkins x 10
Arm Circles x 10

THE THANG:

With the BHAG of circling the school, which is approximately 1.5 miles, we moseyed stopping (4) times for the following:

21 KB swings
18 Upright rows
15 Goblet squats
12 Curls
9 Tricep extensions
6 Manmakers

MARY:

Finished at the end with a circuit of the following:

Riding the Storm Out

WARMUP: none, we just got after it
THE THANG: We had a rowing machine and 6 stations. One pax was always rowing while others worked at their own station. One minute cycles then rotate. Stations included SSH w/bricks, man makers, OH press w/Cindy, OH clap w/bricks, Monkey humpers, goblet squat
MARY: yep — flutter, penguin, Superman, shoulder taps

After 30 min BD, pax shared adversities we’ve experienced — death, sickness, high risk pregnancies, addictions, marriage challenges, job losses, relocations, mental health struggles. Only 4 pax and yet we’ve seen a lot of adversity!!! Hope in these chapters came through other people, seeing the unexpected good things that emerged, holding onto faith, caring counselors, F3 brothers, staying present each day, counting the wins and not looking too far ahead.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, Invergence, grass cutting at FMCC

COT: as always, 5th core principle
