CHiPs Word of the Day

Disruption-to interrupt the normal course of something

In the heart of a man inertia will reign–absent a Disruption (F3QSource)

Be a Disruptor like Jesus.  Read Luke 13:10-17 to see how Jesus was a Disruptor after he healed a crippled woman in the temple on the Sabbath.  This did not go over well with the synagogue leader who yelled at the people in the temple, saying “there are six days for work. So come to be healed on those days, not on the Sabbath.”

 

*The PAX were so worn out by the workout, or maybe it was the cold, but we totally forgot name-o-rama.  Sorry I dropped the ball on that one, but what’s funnier is that no one even noticed until we got to DD for coffeeteria.

Ever owned/used a sex swing?

Solid turn out tonight for 2019’s week 1 of 52 Tea Time Murph….PAX of 8…… plenty of modifying tonight as various have marathon training goals and none regulars joined the workout.

Great chat and banter, a real pleasure to host… made me remember why I enjoyed F3.

2nd F was at Tapline… heathly laughs with HSRC and a very random side conversation with Deere, Skidmark and Giggawatt lead to the title of the backblast.

The Workout: MURPH

Announcements: Q Swaps and Q Schools

Prayer: where to start, some sobering requests from Huggies about school colleagues taking their own lives over the past months, various thoughts of close friends and relatives having hip replacements and other ailments causing surgery’s and high hopes for employment opportunities. SkidMark very kindly and humberly took us out.

#QSwapWeek is upon us and with that YHC took up the mantle to kick it off with a proper Carpex inspired beatdown for the South Wake fellas.

 

A whole mess ‘o guys showed up for EC, and then the rest of the Pax assemble for the ME, 32 by the count (1 FNG in the mix) as all are now physically, mentally, and emotionally part of the greatest free men’s workout in the nation.

 

Let’s go.

Warm Up:

–       Up the back driveway to the lot for GM, SSH, Mountain Climbers into a left arm up and right arm up, merkins to wrap it

–       Mosey on over to the back lot and get some curb for Quick feet and curb merkins at 10, 15, 20

The Workout:

–       After making our way back through the stadium and to the front lot, partner up for DORA 1-2-3 (100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 LBC’s)

–       Oh, almost forgot to mention, YHC is doing the entire beatdown in a 20 lb vest in honor of our Breathtaker Challenge bros. Beefy.

–       After the DORA, snake the pax through the lot and get ‘em in a big circle. With help from 1 Carpex bro and 2 South Wake bros, it’s the circle of pain. 10-1 on merkins, squats, LBCs and lunges. But wait… there’s more… back up to 10. Like I said, beefy.

Mary: –       Move the pax over to the basketball court for merkins (yes more), box cutters, homer to marge, dying cockroach, bonnies torture and have a nice day. We’re done.
