Always identify the open bathroom

Leave a comment

Immediately identified the open bathroom and ran towards it. Stopped for some stair steper rep counts otw. While I duced the pax did 100 200 300 of merkins, squat, lcbs. I entered mid squat. Then back to the top to play with sacks. Partner 1 toss for count, partner 2 for exercise.

I'm the words of a wise philosopher…

Something of an Old Testament

WARMUP: Goose set the stage with an intro to Shield Lock September, then handed the baton to Pusher

THE THANG:

Pusher — he led the charge (literally) out of the parking lot to the corner leading toward Red Ventures where he led a series of exercises interspersed with Burpees and Disruption. He then took the pax back to the parking lot for a series of sprints and lunges.

Cake Boss — he led the pax on a mosey to the plaza in front of the movie theater where pax grabbed a partner for some exercises (Dips, Derkins, Irkins and more) on the flower bed wall while flapjacking with an out-and-back run.

Double D — took the pax on a mosey to the al fresco dining area between ice cream shop and Greek joint. Pax grabbed a chair for 3 series of step-ups and planks/core exercises. All moseyed back to the parking lot to complete a final 10 Burpees before COT.

MARY: She participated throughout the Thang

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel shelter meal TONIGHT!!! Shield Lock Qs continue throughout September at Lazarus.

COT: We had a lively group of pax that sweated profusely and laughed fully about Goose's plan for October (WAGs month!) and Pauly D's "proceeding hair line" among other topics. It was great to have an age spread of 31 to 59 and F3 tenure ranging from 3 workouts to 14 years. Goose has the MILGA spirit flowing at full speed at Lazarus! Thanks for the invite to our Shield Lock! And shout out to our 4th SL member (Old Bay) who couldn't join us today.

The core message shared throughout the workout was "don't do life alone!" We all face challenges and Disruption in our lives and we all need Faith that takes an active human form of brothers surrounding us to get through those times. Our F3 brothers we see in the Gloom provide one level of support, AND the most reliable support will come from those who are CLOSEST to us, those few men we've truly opened our hearts to through regular vulnerability aimed at shared accountability. So take the risk and step into the uncomfortable zone of bonding with 2-3 other pax at a similar stage of life in a committed Shield Lock.

Thanks to the pax who posted today and helped my Shield Lock appreciate the gift we are to each other!

Commentary courtesy of Dark Helmet:

12 men at The Pit Of Cocks received a generous helping of Italian Jobs.

The Thang:

  • Run 1/4 mile-ish then perform the following
  • 10 Burpees
  • 20 HR Merkins
  • 30 Lunges
  • 40 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Burpees

Repeat until the hate leaves your heart or until 45 minutes has elapsed…

Moleskine:
The morning began with Liberty rescuing Goose’s hemorrhoid pillow from the parking lot (not sure when that got left there) and placing it lovingly by the flag. Also placed by the flag, was a fat deuce squeezed out like Satan’s toothpaste by 3D’s nutsniffer. Not to worry, like most good dog owners, 3D brought his little doo-doo produce bags and collected the offering to carry with him. I don’t have a dog, and one of the main reasons is that I currently live in a situation that would require me to bend down and collect the feces of a lesser beast. I'm on the top of the food chain. I will not collect feces. Besides, the mighty (though domesticated) canine deserves to leave his castoffs where they lay, so for me to take responsibility to care for such an animal would require me to live beyond the officious reach of an HOA and past the confines of a fence…

Changing subjects, Deep Dish remarked about the amount of sand in the CRHS parking lot and was contemplating how to take his kids there and convince them that it was Myrtle Beach, but with less cigarette butts.

COT: Pray for many men’s relatives, to shoulder our burdens, and to be smart enough not to go alone.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: yea, this is important

THE THANG:

  1. move the parking lot aisles. 1 burpee, run to the other end, 2 burpees, next aisle, 3 burpees, etc. up to 10
  2. mosey to the hill with the close light poles. 5 squats at the first, bear crawl to the second, 10 squats, bear crawl, etc. up to 30
  1. the last light pole was not illuminated….reminds me of a sad clown. A man who is present but the lights are off. So, of course we did reps there, because that guys needs them the most
  1. back down the hill with Carolina Dry Docks and crawl bear.
  2. mosey to the front of the school for a fake stop
  3. mosey to the back of the school for a short sprint

ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter

COT: There are lots of guys in our lives with their lights off. Just a shell of what they could be. You can see it at work, in your neighborhood, at church, your kid's school, the grocery store, in a restaurant, etc. They're cosplaying at being the men they were created to be. F3 isn't the only answer for them, but it's a pretty dang good one. Go EH!
