Total # of PAX: 5

Number of FNGs: 0

QIC: Hartford

INTRO:

It is always windy on the high plains of The Lions Den and today was no exception.  Five pax showed to work off some of the Christmas cheer.  The focus of today’s bd was chest, arms, and legs.  Pain poles were in order.

WARM-O-RAMA:

Mosey around the bus road between the two schools and back up the hill for warm-ups near the flag.  SSH’s, Windmills, Michael Phelps OYO, weed pickers followed by some shoulder stretches.

THE THANG:

With the goal of torching our arms, chest, and legs we did a series of four exercises focusing on each muscle group.  After each set of exercises we broke for a run around the car loader loop and stairs with pain poles in tow.  The idea was to do exercise to failure so they were mostly one minute sets to failure with a couple of exceptions.  Pax stayed together for all exercises.

CIRCLE OF TRUST:

Discussed 1/1 convergence at The Lions Den.  We are excited to host on the F3 birthday.  Chops is leading the planning effort.  He even promised a breakfast casserole of sorts.  We are looking forward to meeting F3’s from other AO’s. 

Ended with prayers for the men of F3 that we may be the leaders God has called us to be in our homes, our marriages, our jobs, our churches, and our community.  Prayers for Fleetwood and a speedy recovery.

Naked-Man Moleskin:

Hitting the big muscle groups had all pax, including YHC, gassed early.  We were wondering, almost hopeful, if TLD might have its first merlot spill.  We had a chance but never could quite close the deal.  Maybe next time…
