Introduction
OnePly had a great BD that YHC wanted him to bring over to the Forge for a Friday so all PAX could participate so YHC and him switched.
Peronally, YHC considered the IPC 2020 a real good test and ball buster. It was a bunch of stuff that no one wanted to do, but made us better. YHC would like to bring more and more of those to the BDs, thats why we do it.
Warm-O-Rama
short mosey around the parking lot and back up the road.

Weed Pickers – (this is when OnePly graced us with his presence. He rolled in majestically on the infamous F3 West Cobb gimp-mobile. He must have had some of the good stuff for breakfast ’cause he was grinning ear to ear; thats the only plausible explanation since it was cold, wet, and windy. Maybe he was just happy to see all of us. My money’s still on the pain pills for breakfast)
arm circles – forward and backward
arm pretzels – we had to stop to make sure everyone knew how to do them correctly.
Form is critical if any of this is going to make us better. poor form = poor results. Yeah, you might be able to keep up with the pack with skimping on form or total counts, but where’s that gonna take you? gotta ask yourself that question and to get a real answer, you’ve got to be honest and vulnerable to admit why or what you’re doing. Lots of metaphor or what have you, but it easily translates to how you lead at home, your community, in your career, in your church, in your neighborhood, or, just you.
The Thang
Here’s the heavily modified part.
YHC doesnt have the best of memories in his old age so tried real hard to remember all the stations of the Wheel O’Pain…
YHC didnt get it right, but it still hurt (still does)
400M run to start the round
10 thrusters at the flag
rifle carry to station #1 – 25 alternating block merkins (both sides completed 1 rep)
Rifle carry back to the flag for 10 more thrusters.
this pattern continued until you were done with the round of pain.
25 of each rep at the following stations.
station #2: Man Makers
station #3: Coupon Swings
station #4: laying down, overhead press with block in the mysterious monolith position
station #5: ALPOs (name?)
station #6: Curls
Here’s how it should have gone:
station #1: Derkins
station #2: man makers (got that one right)
station #3: coupon swings (nailed that one too)
station #4: overhead press (on a roll now)
station #5: Squats (back to batting .000)
station #6: ALPOs
for those keeping score at home, YHC got 4 outta 6 correct exercises but really messed up with the block merkins at the beginning. still, we all got a little better today for our effort.
Circle of Trust
Pebble and his expecting wife are going in for a baby checkup. We’re praying for nothing to be abnormal.
Naked Man Moleskin
YHC didnt have any prepared words of wisdom. But during the prayer, YHC was inspired to share the following, or something to this effect:
Dont pray for patience, strength, peace, wisdom, or anything else you think you need to get by. You have everything you need already built into you. We were created in his image after all. Trust, and have faith that its there waiting to be used.
Instead, pray to see when you’re given the opportunity to display or practice the patience, wisdom, peace, strength, etc.. that God has put in you. He’s not gonna just place it in your lap or hit you in the back of the head and say “this is when you practice patience”.
Peace, YHC OUT!
