THE THANG:
:black_joker: Texas Hold ’Em Beatdown Rules
Setup:
– Regular deck of cards. Assign each suit to an exercise:
– Hearts → Merkins Diamonds → Squats
– Clubs → Big Boy Sit-Ups Spades → Jump Squats
– Number = reps (face cards = 10, Ace = 11, Joker = Q’s Choice)
– Change Exercises for Each Round…
– All Pax do exercises for Flop/Turn/River. Folding = 5-10 of “ante-exercise”. Betting (w/ IOU of ante-exercise reps) proceeds as with regular Texas Hold ’em. Upon the showdown (post-River card), everyone “Pays up”. Winner calls out easier/alt. exercise for himself & the pax that pay up w/ time to spare (until the 6 is up)

Hearts:CDD / Shakira

Quotes shared w/ Pax throughout the workout (Common theme of paying your debts):
Proverbs 10:9 (NIV)
“Whoever walks in integrity walks securely, but whoever takes crooked paths will be found out.”

Marcus Aurelius – Meditations 6.30
“If it is not right, do not do it, if it is not true, do not say it.”
(And if you said it—do it.)

Seneca – On Anger, Book III
“A promise is a debt.”

John Wooden (legendary coach):
“Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are.”

George Washington:
“Associate yourself with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for ’tis better to be alone than in bad company.”
(Good company pays their IOUs.)

F3 Lexicon – Freed to Lead
“Your word is your bond. If you said it, own it. If you owe it, do it.

MARY: Pax choice – included Am.Hammers, leg raises, LBC’s among others

Very Rucky

The usual running was almost hijacked by ruckers this week. Tclaps to the speedy Sir Toppam Peach stand, bass, Fogerty, corruption, for keeping us a running AO.

We ran, we rucked, we fellowshipped, we prayed for a reflective Holy Week.
