Meeting Q1.12

Leave a comment

WARMUP: yes
THE THANG:
string of pearls
5 merkins
5 lunges each leg
5 side lunges each side

Some other work throw in

7 total decided to meet with a Q who was willing to take responsibility for the outcome including calling off the workout if lightning presented itself. Zeus’s wrath was stayed and Odin’s ravens can attest to our https://f3nation.com/q/meeting/ (7+1=8)

– reminded us that idolatry takes many forms
– refused to yield
– The Brazilian martial arts motivate
– Wonder if (not present) knows about this
– layered up with 30lbs and then a rain jacket. The jacket was probably the more uncomfortable bit
– CS Lewis was mentioned by , but favors JRR Tolkien. Both complained about their lower extremities
– opened his mouth and the rain fell in. (not present) gave those instructions ages ago

You could livestream your way through a Sunday service, and still not connect on a single salient point of your belief system because you lack proximity to those whose mere presence helps hold you accountable. Might as well listen to a podcast and call it church.

So, you work to figure out your https://f3nation.com/lexicon/, but if you’re not meeting to accelerate your faith, then are you really accelerating much at all?

Sink roulette deck of cards

Leave a comment

17 eager and excited pax showed up. Some brought sand bags, some brought just their willing attitude which was quickly put on point upon the pile of sandbags awaiting them.

After a quick run around the parking lot, a few in cadence SSH, followed by burpees, and that repeated a few times, it was time for business.

Deck of cards was the game. Rules were simple. Follow the count on the card and suit to the key on the paper.

Here’s the extra kitchen sink rule: for the 4 cards laid out, 1 card was chosen by a pax to either pick red or black. If correct, follow the card suit/count. If incorrect, penalty was double the count.

All exercises were done with your sandbag.

– 2-7 diamonds manmaker
– 8-Ace diamonds squats
– 2-7 spades lunge
– 8-Ace spades merkins (just do regular merkins
– 2-7 clubs clean and press
– 8-Ace clubs flutter w/ a press
– 2-7 hearts chest press
– 8-Ace hearts curls
– Joker gear carry shuffle 100 yards and then 1 min sandbag toss over shoulder, 100 yard shuffle
– A few “breaks” were added which included some slick run cool downs and a few gear shuffles with no bag toss

For the record, there were some incorrect cards chosen which were a crowd favorite as you’d expect.
