INTRO:

Now that the two-week long deluge of rain finally surrendered, sixteen bear HIM’s came out of their caves to look for something to kill, and kill it they did….

WARM-O-RAMA:

Side-Straddle Hops; SIDE STRADDLE HOPS!

Sun Gods; SUN GODS!

The Weed Picker; THE WEED PICKER!

A quick mosey around the parking lot then revealed a relentless barbell and 25 & 35 lb plates of destruction.

THE THANG:

Gettin’ down at the Kodiak, I wanted to pay homage to the bears inside us all. We are instinctual beings, so this all made sense in my head. This throwdown started with teams of two taking turns between plate weighted lunges down the parking lot and back while the other partner Al Gore’d. Five rounds each, crushing those quads mmm hmm. Next up was sets of 25 shoulder presses with said weights and sets of 25 Carolina dry-docks, for five rounds each pax. This was followed up with plated weighted squats while your partner BEAR crawled up and back the perilous parking lot. Each team took their shot rotating at the BEAR Komplex (which is snatching the barbell into a clean, front squat, shoulder press into a back squat, back up into a shoulder press (puke) then back to the ground to make one rep. Teams of two completed twenty reps total. This was all finished off with partners running loop laps in the parking lot, while the other tried to do a burpee or three. Needless to say the BEARS were awoken. Good luck getting off the toilets boys. 

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Please say some prayers of safety for the Creekview seniors as they go on a field trip today. Prayers and praise for Alcoa’s grandfather back safely. Prayers for Carmen San Diego’s Mom. 

Naked-Man Moleskin:

The Garfield was our sixth, he is a definite HIM. He explained through tragedy come our greatest triumphs, he came to know the Lord five years ago during tough times. He has come out the other side of tragedy to see God’s hand on his fruitful marriage, a healthy child and he finds strength in F3 to have lost 20lbs. AND gotten stronger in the gym. Amen to this man. 

Much Love to all you men. Goat Milk out.
