I have to admit this felt weird. Jogging down the road in the rain I was wondering why I was going to all the trouble to do this first ever monumental zoom call workout for the Forge. But when I got back to my patio and saw your ugly mugs in the dim light of the gloom I remembered why. Community. We are “hard wired” for this stuff. Even “self proclaimed introverts” like Dakotoes
The Thang
Thang
For time:
30 Single arm overhead lunge
30 Deadlifts

20 DL
40 Sit ups
10 SAOHL
10 DL
20 Sit ups
Single arm overhead lunge use dumbbell or kettlebell
Deadlifts – Double your lunge weight if possible
5 Rounds Not For Time:
20 Single arm bent over rows (dumbbell or kettlebell )
20 Push ups
5 pull ups (or modify down to 20 supine Lat raises) I chose the lat raises because they are very hard in their own right and I wanted to stay in the zoom call rather than going into the garage for pull ups)

YHC has gotten F3 dumb. I never was very F3 smart to begin with but it’s gotten worse on quarantine. Forgot name-o-Rama and count-O Rama. Skipped to a not prepared COT thought for the day just about how important F3 has been for my sanity and over all health. I am thankful that I GET to get up early and workout because by now it’s just muscle memory. All the sad clowns with meager participation in their gym of choice are floundering right now. We are not. We are focused and on point. Crushing it in the gloom and facing the day with a limp and a swagger.

So proud to be with all of you guys in this journey. I hope more of us can begin joining the zoom call in the future. I was skeptical but I am converted. Here’s to the new normal!!
By the way when I grow up I hope to be like Gadget. I hope someday to handle ALL stress well and not be distracted by stress and anxiety but to let go and let God
