WHERE: The Lions Den

THE PAX: Fleetwood, Chops, Hartford, Blackhawk, Buttons, X-Files, Pie Bar, Dixie Chick

Total # of PAX: 8

Number of FNGs: 0

QIC: Pie Bar

INTRO:

YHC was convinced that the combination of cold and wet would result in only two or three PAX at the Den – but to his surprise 8 total PAX showed up eager for a beat down in the cold rain. And a beat down everyone received. 

WARM-O-RAMA:

Brisk 1/10 mile  mosey

20 SSHs

10 Weed Pickers

10 Windmills

Sun Gods OYO

Michael Phelps OYO

THE THANG:

Having instructed the PAX to bring gloves the night before, YHC began the beat down with a modified Bear Crawl 1-2-3. PAX partnered up. One partner performs merkins under sidewalk cover while other partner bear crawls width of parking lot and back. Switch. Perform a collective 100 merkins, then a collective 100 LBC’s, then 150 air squats.

Next up, a burpee mile. With pecs and core toasted from bear crawling, PAX perform 12 burpees, then run 1/4 mile. Repeat 4 times for a total of 1 mile run and 48 burpees. This routine was much harder than YHC anticipated, but the PAX also performed it faster than YHC anticipated.

So, on to next exercise in Q: Guantanamo. PAX circle up on their sixes. Feet pointed toward center of circle and held off ground. One at a time PAX get up, run inside of circle and push each man’s feet toward ground. Performed two rounds. Recover.

Again, YHC had overestimated time exercise would take. Move to modified BLIMP. PAX partner up again. One man runs lap including down and up stairs. Other partner performs merkins. Switch. Next three rounds: plank jacks, squat jumps, and lunge jumps. YHC notice several PAX checking their watches to be sure it is 6:15 and the beatdown is over. Ahhh, yes, it is finally 6:15.

Now fully gassed, PAX slowly mosey back to flag.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Discuss upcoming cookout

Dixie Chick = the 6. Speaks of losing 17 pounds through F3. Only about 10 pounds to go to reach his goal!

YHC challenges others (with a better sense of how long exercises take) to step up and Q

Prayers for Dixie Chick and his family.

Prayers for Chops’ mom who recently lost her husband (Chops’ step father)

Express thankfulness for fellowship and pray that God show us direction and protect us

Naked-Man Moleskin:

F3 has been a serious blessing to this Q. I will turn 40 in two weeks and was starting to feel my age a few months ago. Now YHC has the pep back in his step. Part of that is the fitness. The other is the fellowship. At this time of thanks, I am thankful for the Lions Den and all the men that routinely slay the fart sack to make it a special AO.
