Introduction
QIC scoured the F3 Exicon to try some new things this morning.
Warm-O-Rama
Brisk mosey to light pole for warm-o-rama. Dock Ock and Swirley joined at some point.
10 SSH IC
10 Weed Pickers IC
4 Happy Jacks IC
10 Hillbillies IC
10 4-count merkins IC
Mosey to football field for the Thang
The Thang
William Wallace – Split into groups of 3, each group on a corner of the field. Send one representative to the center of the field to complete exercise while other members hold plank in the corners. Rotate through until all have completed exercise. Exercises were 5 Burpees in round 1, 10 BBSU in round 2, 15 merkins in round 3. YHC called an audible before the last round. The routine was moving a little slow and YHC sensed the PAX needed a heavier workload.
Next up was Wilt Chamberlains. Honoring the only 100-point game in NBA history, the PAX ran the length of a basketball court (ish), did 100 lbc’s, ran back and did 100 squats (ouch), ran back and did 100 flutter kicks, ran back and did 100 lunges (ouch again).
Next up was Triple Check. Back in our teams of 3, one PAX held plank, another held the People’s Chair, and the other sprinted 100 yards and back. Rotate through until all PAX have sprinted. YHC should have gone first or second on the sprints as he was smoked and couldn’t give directions once we were done.
Indian Run back to flag. Once everyone cycled through to the front, it was an all-ya-got sprint to the flag.
Swedish Ham was the first to notice a speaker waiting at the flag. GaDgEt then said something to the effect of hoping and praying YHC would turn on “Sally”. To oblige him, YHC did indeed play the song while PAX performed squats. YHC was especially impressed and inspired by GaDgEt’s deep squats….I’m trying brother! The never-ending-song finally finished. 30 seconds left. All PAX did 5 Monkey Humpers IC to wrap it up.
Circle of Trust
Count-o-rama, name-o-rama, FNG naming ceremony
YHC was feeling led to talk to the PAX about the battle in our minds. Many of us walk around confident on the outside, but afraid on the inside. Our minds often tell us that we aren’t good enough or that we don’t have what it takes. Levi Lusko talks about taking the higher ground in a battle. The highest ground on our body is our head…..we must take back our minds. YHC encouraged PAX to take thoughts captive today and this week. Replace the lies of failure and fear with the truth of who we really are.
Yak asked for prayers for his family as they work through a heavy travel season with his job.
Brought it in to honor and thank the SkyQ for a great start to the week.
Naked Man Moleskin
Thanks to the 11 HIM’s who were willing to experiment with YHC this morning. Some of the new things worked great, others might need some tweaking when we try them again.
YHC had a few more ready….Quarter Pounder, LL Cool J’s, and Howling Monkeys are coming soon….
Thanks for showing up! I am a better man because of it.
