Minimal warm-up
Maximum UNO
Ultimate chatter
BE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THINGS
MILGA
WARMUP: We started with a mile around campus, fleeing Egypt with a few dynamic stretches along the way. Made sure to circle back for the six. @U5MQ8FHV0 stepped up with some Side Straddle Hops while YHC went back for @U02DKM63B7B.
THE THANG: We finally arrived in the Desert, a few parking lot islands away from the Promised Land.
25 Merkins, 25 Squats, 25 Big Boy Sit-Ups, followed by a controlled run to the next aisle. Repeat.
YHC also learned what a zipper is (and apparently isn’t).
Our first complaint came from @U02DKM63B7B, which seemed fitting considering the Israelites’ experience in the wilderness. He also appointed @U0BEBRDB5U7 as his proxy for any reps he wouldn’t be completing.
Once we reached 100 reps of each, we swapped Merkins for Dips, courtesy of @U08NJ8FF1PF.
We finished with a sprint around the parking lot perimeter, making our final push into the Promised Land.
MARY: A little Mary roulette followed, with @U011KKZ17U6 calling Jennifer Lopez, only for @U02DKM63B7B to discover someone was apparently doing the Ben Affleck instead. Hilarious.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Consider donating to F3 to support something that’s changed so many of our lives. Be proactive in providing food for Bethel Men’s Shelter. Convergence next month at the Ranch (apparently there’s good parking). The Excavation at Forest Hill Fort Mill is November 13. A few parties coming up, details of which YHC has not retained.
COT: Prayers for safe travels, a successful surgery for @UJKGM3VKJ and a speedy recovery. Prayers for @U0AQZ0DGP97 as he prepares to start his new job next month. Prayers for the Pope and for those requests left unspoken.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel is Mexican Night
COT: Affirmative
WARMUP: yes
THE THANG:

MARY:
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT:
WARMUP: BC led that….it involved burpees in cadence, but only after some creative running
THE THANG: Split into 3 groups, was gonna be 4, but Tesh was late. Rotated at Esso's whistle. Band Camp's job was to travel the groups in reverse and …… "encourage" full completion of the exercises
Esso had arms
Shady had core
Slash had legs
It was pretty solid. We know this because Esso could barely move his arms after doing it 3 times, Shady has a massive F3 tramp stamp from the situps, and Slash actually worked out the full duration according to all accounts
MARY: Again Band Camp called more burpees.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Newsletter
14th year convergence at WEP on 9/29
COT: We discussed why shield lock is important. AND that it may not work the first….or second….or third time you try to form one. A man leads from his shield lock, without it I'm not going to be the leader I'm capable of being.
It's kinda like having access to outside consultants who know what's up and are tasked with being honest to you even when you don't want it.
WARMUP: SSH, Cherry Pickers, Side Lunge, tempo merkins into various broga moves
THE THANG: 5 round EMOM with your Cindy
Thrusters x10
Swings x15
Merkins x15
BentRowxGMxPress x10
Flutter kicks x20
Mosey for a bit, then buy steps back to COT: squat = 1 step
merkin = 2 steps
Burpee = 3 steps
MARY: barely know her
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Convergence at EOM, 9/11 workout this week, Dam to Dam registration open
COT: Prayers for those dealing with cancer diagnosis, marriages, and future encounters.
Praises for BRR teams.

We were honored to lead this morning. Helmet shared some eloquent words about the value of having men in your life to speak truth, no matter if it hurts. If you don’t have those men, find them. It will enrich your life.

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…
"Walking is moving forward if it's towards your goal"
Keep moving forward gentlemen
