Not today. @Crash put the call out to get his Q calendar filled up, and I was &#8220;happy&#8221; to accept his request to Q at the prestigious Iron Throne. #BUILDGroupBuddies4Life. With a close eye on the weather, I started putting together a plan that would hopefully be vigorous enough to rid all those who posted of their remaining pesky Christmas Carbs. Let&#8217;s see how it went:<\/p>\n<p>Another Q, another perfect recitation of the Mission Statement and Core Principles<\/p>\n<p>Warm O Rama<\/p>\n<p>6th core principle x20 IC<\/p>\n<p>IST&#8217;s x20 IC<\/p>\n<p>L over R \/ R over L<\/p>\n<p>Abe Vi-GOAT-a x4 IC<\/p>\n<p>At this point @Cherry Pie had the audacity to question whether or not YHC was using the greatest exercise of them all to lolly gag. Offended as I was, I gave into his banter and we began our mosey to the back of the school.<\/p>\n<p>PAX were instructed to grab a block and meet back at the actual cones that the Q had setup in the bus lot.<\/p>\n<p>PAX were instructed to complete the following circuit:<\/p>\n<p>Squats x25<\/p>\n<p>Curls x25<\/p>\n<p>KB Swings x25<\/p>\n<p>Shoulder Tap Irkins x25<\/p>\n<p>Jump-Over-Block Burpees x10<\/p>\n<p>After completing the circuit, PAX were to complete a suicide in the bus lot, then mosey to the basketball court<\/p>\n<p>At the court, mode of transportation was alternating lunges to half court, then reverse lunges to the opposite baseline<\/p>\n<p>After the basketball court, PAX were to mosey to the playground and complete 10 Pullups<\/p>\n<p>After the pullups, mosey back to the blocks and start over.<\/p>\n<p>All PAX completed 2 rounds of the entire circuit and were then instructed to return their blocks (in tact or otherwise) and mosey back to launch<\/p>\n<p>Back at launch, we had lots of time left (by design) for an extended MARY<\/p>\n<p>MARY consisted of the following in no particular order:<\/p>\n<p>WW2s x25<\/p>\n<p>American Hammers x25<\/p>\n<p>Freddie Mercs x25<\/p>\n<p>H2H x25<\/p>\n<p>LBCs x25<\/p>\n<p>Gas Pumps x25<\/p>\n<p>Penguin Crunch x25<\/p>\n<p>Peter Parkers (or Peeker Packers?) x25<\/p>\n<p>We rounded out the last minute with a low-plank hold<\/p>\n<p>TIME<\/p>\n<p>CoT<\/p>\n<p>YHC shared some encouragement to the PAX to think of something they are thankful for and dwell on that throughout the morning.<\/p>\n<p>@Cherry Pie shared a good word from a Two Cities sermon and a motivational podcast he had recently heard about the importance of visioning and intentionality. Really encouraging stuff. Thank you, CP.<\/p>\n<p>@Zima shared his thanks for F3 as a whole and a few PAX in particular who had gotten together with him for his birthday over the weekend.<\/p>\n<p>Prayer Requests<\/p>\n<p>@Ziffel was recently injured in a skiing accident. Prayers for a quick recovery so he can get back out in the gloom and pester Zima.<\/p>\n<p>YHC took us out thanking Him for the F3 community and lifting up Ziffel.<\/p>\n<p>NMM<\/p>\n<p>While the beatdown did not lend itself to a ton of MC, @Cherry Pie and @Zima didn&#8217;t let that keep them from their usual banter.<\/p>\n<p>Musical accompaniment this morning was a playlist made up of some of YHC&#8217;s jams from my high school days: New Found Glory (hence the BB Title), Good Charlotte, Blink 182, Offspring, and Fall Out Boy. @Zima didn&#8217;t even complain about it. Which is really saying something. #Progress<\/p>\n<p>An emphasis was placed on getting down and touching the lines during the suicides, and @Zima was quick to correct YHC for breaking his own rule. #Accountability<\/p>\n<p>YHC noted that the original plan was to have the mode(s) of transportation on the basketball court be bear crawls and crab walks. The alternative was a real crowd pleaser.<\/p>\n<p>@Hansel made light work of all called exercises this morning, but paid the Q a high compliment by shedding some layers during the second round of block work.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of blocks, YHC has had a well documented issue with destroying blocks in the past (RIP GRIND Block) and this morning another coupon fell victim to my block-destroying ways. Sorry @Crash.<\/p>\n<p>@Frostbite, @Ziggy, and @Airbag came to work this morning and formed a relative trio of silent assassins. No funny business or lolly-gagging. Just pure get-after-it-ness. Great work men.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s always an honor to lead a workout and today was no different. Very thankful for everyone who posted and pushed me to get better.<\/p>\n<p>The keys are in a pile of rubble where my block once was, @Crash.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Normally on cold, wet January mornings, YHC can be found inside the warm confines of a budget-friendly exercise facility.
