Came rolling in hot and ready to get after it. Master Oogy was already there locked in and ready to go. At 5:29 Commando came rolling in with a fresh new flag to add to the collection.

We got the usual warm up and stretching knocked out then got straight into it.

Started things off with 11s pull through merkins and goblet squats, using around the worlds as our transportation.

Then Commando grabbed the wheel and delivered an upper body beatdown that felt like every arm, chest and shoulder exercise ever created.

Announcements:

Always grateful for the ability to show up and push through these sometimes silly workouts. Even more grateful for the fellowship and brotherhood built with these men and the rest of F3. I’m personally thankful our paths crossed.

Closed it out with a prayer from Commando

Moleskin:

Shout out to Master Oogway! It’s his second time out doing Mammoth with us and he’s doing a great job staying with the pack. He left us of with a term that has resonated with me all morning, “Be a conduit, not a cul-de-sac”. For YHC that means, be someone that you can help usher others into a relationship with Jesus and not just someone that will turn others around and back the way they came. “No man left behind, leave no man, where you found him”.

Three sunrise chasers got up early this morning to sling some balls together here’s how it went down…

We started with some much needed basic stretches then jumped straight into Tabata

6 rounds of 20 seconds on, 10 seconds rest. After each 6th round we ran ¼ mile. We cycled through 6 different exercises

• Halos

• Merkin pull throughs

• Curls

• WW3

• Squats

• Plank pull-throughs

It felt great to be back at Mammoth Balls and this weather made it even better.The YHC had a habit of blacking out and talking like Boomhauer during Merkins for some reason

We also had an FNG join us from church who absolutely crushed it. Prior military, works at Dominion, married with a couple of kids. He even shared a story about the Green Turtle bar inside the Caps stadium. We’ll hold off on naming him “Green Turtle”… for now naming comes next week.

Beaver closed us out with a prayer.

I think there could be some more to add as YHC and Commando discussed some MoT options in the future but this is how it went. Beaver Brings the Sink!
