Blackhawk Tribute at Shelter 1

YHC was glad to be back ITG after a couple of days tossing cookies and other stuff. The week started off with an unplanned weight loss plan and is ending the way it should, with the finest pax in all of F3 Lexington.

Several pax cruised around Lexington during a humid SL. YHC did his own thing and stayed close to the Shank because the energy level was sub-par. That being said, the inspiration level went through the roof when it was time for BC. Nothing like a group of sweaty men who are breathing hard to get the endorphins flowing.

1 minute warning, disclaimer, no FNG’s, open in prayer.

Mosey to the pull-up shelters across the street.

Circle up for SSH x 23 IC (# of times YHC knelt before the porcelain throne), TTT x 10 IC, Michael Phelps x 15 IC.

The Thang:

At the shelter – 5 pull-ups, 10 hanging leg raises, 15 dips, 20 merkins.

Run to Soaker’s pole in the corner – 5 burpees, 10 mountain climbers (2ct), 15 v-ups, 20 merkins.

Rinse and repeat for 4 rounds.

We did use 2 shelters. YHC does not know what was discussed at shelter 2 but those guys crushed the workout, flying through the reps at warp speed. Meanwhile, at shelter 1, a classic band was remembered. Oddly enough, it was the young guy (Coon Dog) that started singing one of the great songs released in 1994…That’s Just About Right by Blackhawk. YHC remembers having their greatest hits cassette as a newlywed, CD remembers this song from his pre-pubescent years and Lego recognized it once YHC started crooning. Age may separate us, but classic songs bridge the gap between us. YHC is proud of this youngster for knowing, and paying tribute, to a classic.

Mosey to the stairs – 33 calf raises (toes out), 33 calf raises (toes in), 34 calf raises (toes straight).

Mosey to the main shelter.

10 step ups each leg, 10 dips, 10 flutter kicks (2ct), lap around one parking lot island.

Rinse and repeat for 3 rounds.

Recover.

Close in prayer.

Devo: John 14:15 – If you love me, you will keep my commandments. I Cor 16:13 – Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.

More than ever, we need to be men that do more than talk, we need to act. Our actions speak louder than words. We can make a difference in Lexington and be the HIM we are called to be if we act. Plenty of “men” go back on their word, or only talk but never take action. Don’t be like them. Let’s live out these verses in our homes and community.
