There is nothing fun about the Grinder. In fact, YHC was not really looking forward to it this morning. Halfway through the workout Kenwood asked, “Who’s idea was this?” We only have Gravedigger to blame was my response. The humidity this morning made it worse, but the men pushed hard and did work. Great Job Guys.

“The Grinder”
There are 6 “islands” around the parking lot we meet in. Three to the left of the flag and three to the right. We will circle the parking lot stopping at each island to perform an exercise. We start at the shovel flag.
Run to island #1 and perform 21 Merkins. Sprint to # 2 and perform 21 Squats. Sprint to # 3 and perform 21 LBC’s. Sprint roughly 150 yards to # 4 and perform 21 Merkins. Sprint to # 5 and perform 21 Squats. Sprint to # 6 and perform 21 LBC’s. Sprint roughly 60 yards back to the shovel flag. Perform 1 burpee. You have completed 1 lap.
Rinse and Repeat until time is called, adding 1 rep per exercise per lap. Every lap is roughly 1/4 mile. Second lap would be 22 of each and 2 burpees.

Squatter 9 laps
Paper Jam 7.5 laps
Meter 7 15/16 laps
Pig Pen 7 laps
Pennyworth 7 laps
Kenwood 9 laps
BullPen 8 laps
Juice 9 laps

Moleskin:
-We all the thought we knew what a merkin was. Pennyworth, started last week and is trying to figure out what all we are saying. He googled Merkin. All I will say is avoid doing that. Really.
-Paper Jam’s big speaker is better than the little one he brought today
-Where was Pow Pow? or Tutu?
Prayer Request:
Paper Jams, family friend Howard Posey had a stroke.

3. STAND STRONG: Don’t give in when you are challenged, attacked or criticized.
“Now behold, I have made you today as a fortified city and as a pillar of iron and as walls of bronze against the whole land, to the kings of Judah, to its princes, to its priests and to the people of the land. They will fight against you, but they will not overcome you, for I am with you to deliver you,” declares the LORD. – Jeremiah 1:18-19
Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord. – I Corinthians 15:58
Be of sober spirit, be on the alert. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. But resist him, firm in your faith, knowing that the same experiences of suffering are being accomplished by your brethren who are in the world. – 1 Peter 5:8-9
