The hands of time- they just don’t stop!  For the 11 men who won the fight against a warm bed (or simply had nothing better to do at 530), the clock was calling so we had to respond.  This is no regular clock, it’s a fancy clock- it has diamonds!  Disclaimer given, off to warm up and hit the clock!

 

Mosey through the parking lot, run some lines side to side, forwards, backwards.

Circle up for

• SSH x12 IC
• Hillbillies x12 IC
• Mountain climbers x12 IC
• Squats x12 IC
• LBACs forward and backward

 

To the courtyard where our clock awaited with 12 diamonds and one big diamond in the center.  A simple routine where each man starts on one of the outer diamonds, does the exercise,  then runs to the center diamond, and then back out to the next diamond in a CW motion.  The circuit is complete when you’ve rounded the clock and done exercises at each diamond.

• Round 1: 5 merkins each diamond
• Round 2: 5 jump squats each diamond
• Round 3: 5 burpees each diamond
• Round 4: 5 LBCs each diamond
• Round 5: 5 WWIIs each diamond
• Round 6: 5 Dips each diamond (but don’t have to go to the center, just from your diamond to the flowerbed wall and back)

 

Mosey back to the cars via an Indian Run w/ Hallelujahs thrown in now and then.

 

Circle up for Mary

• Low flutters x12 IC
• RBCs x12 IC
• Escalators x12 IC (or leg climbers or whatever these are called- #showtoknow)
• W’s x12 IC
• 1 minute Abs w/ Habs (less the Habs today- see you soon my brother)

Welcome to The Dawg House Thick Burger, nice to have you for a visit.  Thanks to the other regulars for showing up as well.  A man can’t be a leader without people following along.  I say it often but it always rings true- there is no quit in you guys.  These type workouts allow you to push yourself as hard and fast as you want to go and there are signs of progress all around.  Even more uplifting is the ‘pick up the six’ mentality where we don’t just stand there waiting for the last guy to finish- we join him and encourage him along.  The power of encouragement goes a long way.  Which leads to my point of the day.  In the Bible there are three men who serve as an example- Paul, Barnabas and Timothy.  Paul was the mentor, Barnabas was the walk-beside-you encourager, and Timothy was the mentoree.  We never know what role we have to play but I dare say we can be all three at different times.  The challenge is to figure out the people in our lives who need us to be like these men.  Look around and see who you can pour life into, who you can encourage, who you can gain insight from.  We aren’t meant to travel alone, it’s more fun with the group!  Peace out homeys
