Weekly Pre-blast (2/19/2018)

WEEKLY OVERVIEW
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.
On Saturday, Vila will be back at it for a Bootcamp style workout at The Landfill. After you get destroyed by Vila…he will make it up to you by taking you out to Coffeeteria at the Waffle house on Dayton Blvd.

Yesterday was Valentine’s Day. YHC had a great day with my M, sharing in tangible ways how much I love her. We need to express true love to our spouses as commanded in Ephesians 5: 25 “Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church.” Challenged us to live everyday with this in mind. Make everyday Valentine’s Day!
Prayer for Parkland, FL high school shooting yesterday.

THE THANG
Mosey to the Rocks by the river where everyone found a partner and a rock.
Interval Workout:
One Partner would do an exercise with the rock, while the other would SSH. Each exercise would last for 30 seconds with the PAX doing as many reps as possible. There was then a 10 seconds break where they would swap. After the PAX completed 3 sets of each, they rotated to the new exercise.
1st Rotation- Curls and SSH
2nd Rotation- Overhead Press and SSH
3rd Rotation- Elf on a Shelf and SSH
4th Rotation- Bent over Row and SSH
5th Rotation- Curl to Overhead press and SSH
6th Rotation- Half Curl and SSH
PAX worked hard for the 30 seconds, noting that we could do anything for 30 seconds. We completed 5 rotations and then for the sake of time, we moved on to the next piece of the workout
Coupon Brigade
PAX formed a line standing shoulder to shoulder with the 2 PAX on the end each holding a coupon. PAX began to pass the coupon to the person next to then sending it down the line. Once a PAX passed the 2nd coupon, they would run to the end of the line to keep the coupons moving.  After 3 minutes, we stopped and turned back, passing the coupons the opposite direction.
Mosey back to the Love Shack, stopping at Mount Midoriyama. PAX then jailbreak back to the Love Shack.

Moleskin:
There are many things in life that make us as men worry. Whether it be work, wife, kids, many things bring on stress and pressure to our life. I know that this past year was a tough one for me with moving, having a new baby, and starting a new job. It has not been the easiest year of my life, but I did always have someone to count on.
Philippians 4:6-7 says “do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
We can always go to God for help in these times. We are told not to try and go through them alone, but to ask God to help us, and we are promised that He will. Jesus loves us all, and promises to be with all of those that will ask.
Thank you men for helping make me better. You have made an impact in my life. I enjoy being a part of F3 with all of you.

Especially right now as some of us are preparing for the Chattanooga Marathon Relay. It doesn’t matter the pace as long as we keep getting better every day.
Also according to Angus’s Garmin we got in 2.4 miles this morning. Great job guys!

Moleskin

God created us to be instruments with the ability to sing and make music. Music is an important part of worship and praise to God, so it only seems fitting that bible verses about music can be found throughout scripture.

Psalm 95:1 – Come, let us sing for joy to the LORD; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.

“Shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation” – in this day and age, people cannot exercise free speech as it was meant to be. Everyone has to watch what they say in order to avoid offending someone, but never be ashamed to express your faith in the Lord.

Aside from religion, music is one of the most powerful tools that bring people from all walks of life together. Make it a point to try and reach out to someone new and get to know them. You may have more in common than you think, and your conversation could be the thing that brightens their day the most.

Explained to the PAX my excitement as a former Univ. of Memphis kicker that the two kickers for this years’ Super Bowl are both former Memphis Tiger kickers. Stephen Gostkowski is a veteran with an NFL record 479 consecutive PAT’s made and a 78.5% field goal percentage and is all-time leading scorer for the Patriots. Jake Elliot is a rookie for the Eagles who has already made a 61-yard game-winning field goal this year. He also went four years in college without missing a PAT in 202 attempts! I’ll be watching the game to see them play! Today, we are going to do some kicking as well and carry a football as the coupon.

BOM-The term Iron Sharpens Iron is found in Proverbs 27:17 and we did that this morning. We helped make each other better with today’s workout. Two verses later in v.19 it says “As in water face reflects face, so the heart of man reflects the man.” Remember that apart from Christ our hearts are desperately wicked, but in Christ our hearts are transformed. We can reflect a heart that loves and obeys God today. Let’s continue to sharpen one another and reflect the heart of Christ to those around us.

Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood

WOD: “Success is just being happy… God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.” – Herschel Walker
We are a week into the new year. Everyone has set their New Years Resolution and goals. Now take the time to define what success means to you. Success is not just being on top of the mountain or having the most money. It could be completing a marathon, a GoRuck Tough event, coming out to the Gloom. Sometimes success is in the journey and not the end result. Herschel defined success as being happy which is a great definition and he got their through loving God.
