The Pendulum Swings at Dentention

QIC:  Blue

Date: 02-14-2022

PAX: Lyft, Nordic Track, Ponce, Roomba, Sherlock, U-turn, 8 Seconds

AO: Detention

Conditions

A very chilly 28° getting colder as the beatdown prgressed. A 3/4 moon could be seen in the clear sky.

COP

Everyone starts with SSH’s, so we started with 40 Hard Count Imperial Walkers, then went through a series of stretches, followed by 52 SSH’s just so no one complained about not doing any at all. Then proceeded to mosey for the start of the Thang.

The Thang

The Pendulum

Mosey’d around the track, around the back side of the tennis courts, then up the hill in back of the community center. Stopped at the tennis courts for a 5 Burpee active recovery. Top of the hill was 10 Burpee recovery.

Mosey down the hill, 10 SSH’s 5 Burpees

Mosey up the other side of the hill and did a combination of SSH’s (IC) & Burpees for a total of 20

Mosey back down and up the first hill, combination of SSH’s & Burpees for a total of 25

Mosey back down, combination of SSH’s & Burpees for a total of 30

Mosey back to the top of second hill, combination of SSH’s & Burpees for a total of 35

Mosey down to the baseball fields below the HUMC and do a combination of SSH’s and Burpees for total of 40

Mosey to concession stand pavillion and do 20 hard count step ups, then mosey back to flag for time.

COT

As most of us are Christian men, we all have differing opinions/beliefs on interpretations of what scripture tells us. We are quick to judge, condemn anyone that has a differing opinion/belief. Jesus taught one important lesson that I believe all others stem. LOVE ONE ANOTHER. No matter your opinion/etc or your neighbors opinion/etc, we are called to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. I am guilty of not doing this on a daily basis and struggle every single day. Go through your day and find ways to LOVE your neighbor instead of getting angry, frustrated, etc because they think differently.

Moleskin

Mumber Chatter was on point with ALL PAX commenting on various ways in which they despised me. All was good though, when I called TIME, the PAX realized they did indeed still love me still and were appreciative of the hard work I led them through.

    CoT

    Limits………..we don’t know where our limits are until we surpass them. I come out everyday because of each PAX here, and I hope each PAX here comes out for the same reason. We are all here to push ourselves to get better in all the ways. We don’t know our own limits until we push past them. Keep pushing.

    Give Me A 10 Count – 05/13 (Huey)

    QIC: Lugnut

    Date: 05/13/2019

    PAX: Hasbro, Hector, Mr Clean, U-Turn, Geek squad, Ducktales, Red tees, Milk Man

    AO: The Huey

    Conditions

    64 Degrees and Wonderful

    COP

    Cherry pickers – 20 IC

    Bolt 45’s – IC (4 Count) – 15 squats to halfway down.  15 squats halfway to full down.  15 full squats.

    Forward Fold 15 IC

    10 Merkins OYO

    WMH 15 IC

    10 Burpees OYO

    The Thang

    Run to first light pole and perform 1 rep of prescribed exercise, second pole then perform 2 and so on. If next light is not lit, perform double the previous number.

    Squats

    Pickle Pounders 4 count

    BBC

    Merkins

    Monkey Humpers 4 count

    Each lap around we will complete 5 burpees OYO.

    This proved to be a lot tougher than YHC had expected. Feel the burn.

    MoM

    Each PAX called out an exercise.

    Fissure Kicks

    Pickle Pounders

    On your back. On your Belly

    10 count Hector

    As the PAX were calling out exercises for our MOM. Hector decided that the next exercise would be a 10 count. The mumble chatter ensued. 

    COT

    We discussed the devotional I had read the previous night from Tim Tebow.

    Psalm 118:24: “This is the day that the Lord has made. We will rejoice and be glad in it.” 

    This is the day that God has made. This day. Right now. Whatever moment you are breathing in, God made this day. Even when times are tough, something about this day is good. 

    This is the day to live without fear of the unknown, without being chained by failure or what-ifs. This is the day to be willing to change, to be open, to believe, to hope. If we don’t attack each day with this intentionality, it’s almost like telling God, “Thanks, but no thanks.” 

    Prayers were asked for Clean and his family as well as Angus and all the unspoken. 

    Moleskin

    Ducktales was late, still gave 110% as always. Hector and the 10 count is one of my favorite exercises so far in F3. Hasbro found a mushy land mine toward the end. 

    News

    Fallen Five Ruck, see Clean or Duck for details. Don’t forget to EH. We need everyone in Chattanooga to be a HIM.

      This is the beginning of what YHC is calling the Weekly Pre-Blast. In this Pre-Blast YHC will discuss the scheduled workouts for the week and the respective Q’s. Bootcamps, Rucks, Runs, OTB Workouts, News, and even Food Consumption will be listed in this Pre-Blast. The schedule is now posted in 3 different locations (Q Schedule, Pre-Blast, and on GroupMe).
      With that being said…this week started off with two workouts on Monday – a Bootcamp and a Ruck. The Bootcamp led by Vila took place at Beast Ridge and Mr. Clean led the group around the Griff for a Ruck style workout.
      Steam Engine happened to be in town to lead a beatdown this morning at Hill City.
      On Wednesday there will be a bootcamp workout led by Snowflake at the Griff and also a Ruck workout at Beast Ridge led by Vila. If you don’t like Rucking come to the Griff and if you don’t like Snowflake, go to Beast Ridge…point is….there’s no excuses! YHC will even be running through snow-covered terrain in Iceland. NO EXCUSES!
      This Thursday Ringwald will be leading us in a Bootcamp style workout Hill City…I wonder if any music will be involved? Will our “Bodies be Hitting the Floor”?? Only one way to find out I suppose. BE THERE!
      This Friday Mr. Clean will be leading an OTB workout (meeting up at Tracks End) through the Tennessee Riverpark on Amnicola Highway. After the workout many calories will be consumed at Tracks End Restaurant.

      The Thang

      The PAX were on time and ready for some “action” – we started out the morning with a brief warm-up to get the blood rushing and the heart pumping. By the time the warm-up was finished, we were soaking wet and breathing heavily. We knew now that it was time for the main event.
      The Cupid Plank Shuffle
      We began with a short mosey to YHC’s truck. Once we arrived at the truck YHC rolled the windows down, turned on the iTunes, and with the volume high we began our Cupid Plank Shuffle.
      -Begin in plank position
      -Right Leg out and bring back in x 4
      – Left Leg out and bring back in x 4
      – Right leg kick, left leg kick, right leg kick, left leg kick
      – Mountain Climbers (8 count)
      – Rinse & Repeat for the entirety of the song (3 min 50 sec)
      To see a visual please follow this link:
      https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g6pkTkunq9s
      Tammy Wynette’s
      Tammy Wynette’s country song hit, “Stand By Your Man” is the inspiration here.
      Starting position: PAX 1 assumes the merkin plank while PAX 2 remains standing beside ‘his man’.
      Exercise: Pax 1 does merkins in sync with PAX 2 who does deep squats. They do 10 reps either by Q call or on their own. At multiples of 10, the partners switch out alternating between merkins & squats.
      Example: 1,2,3 … 10, (switch) 11,12,13…20 (switch) 21,22,23, …30 (switch), etc. until they reach 100; that’s 50 merkins + 50 squats per man.
      Valentine’s Day Cards
      We took a mosey around the park looking for Valentine’s Day cards that were hidden around the park by YHC. Each card had a short “poem” on them that represented an exercise.
      Card 1:
      “When I hear your voice, I sit-up and listen”
      Sit-Ups x 14 IC

      Moleskin

      Just as Christ loves the church (Ephesians 5:27), husbands should love their wives. In saying this, Paul sets the ultimate standard in comparing the marriage relationship with Christ and the church. Such an attitude makes abuse, mistreatment, or abandonment impossible to justify. In fact, Paul demands that husbands love their wives “as their own bodies.” This includes personal care, time, and provision. A man would not leave his body “unattended” or without care for a great length of time. He should likewise not treat his wife in this manner. The Old Testament even described abandonment by a husband as an act of violence (Malachi 2:16).
      It’s important to remember that “love,” as used in the Bible, means much more than simple feelings. It always comes with an expectation of action: of doing good on behalf of that person. This verse uses the Greek root word agape, which refers to a selfless, sacrificial concern for the welfare of someone else.
      For that reason, Paul notes that loving one’s wife—through actions—has practical benefits for the husband as well. If a husband desires a better life, he can do so in part by investing more into his own wife. Love expressed to one’s wife certainly offers numerous benefits to a husband, including unity, better parenting, less conflict, less stress, and other factors.
      NOTE**: At the end of the Moleskin, we went around the circle sharing with one another why we are thankful for our wives.
