In 1776, a group of brave men drafted and signed a declaration… a simple piece of parchment with a handful of words in a well thought out order that when signed became a proverbial middle finger directed at an oppressive government…the Declaration of Independence …
Revolution ensued
a long, drawn out, hard fought by hard men revolution….that resulted in the birth of a nation. A nation that would become the greatest in the world, that would live underneath the coolest flag on the planet…
A flag that would be affixed to a shovel and planted in some grass every morning to be the center of a new nation…F3 Nation….a group of men that could be on any given day, the same as the afore mentioned men…rebels, intelligent rebels with their own declaration to incite revolution among other men, all men…
….so many sacrificed all between then and now….
This morning however, 23 sacrificed sleep and comfort (such a small price)to come join YHC in a celebration of our Independence…
With the disclaimer issued and some instructions that were waaaay more than 3 sentences….we rebels were on the loose…
The much debated plan had been to double down between Shipyard and Tsunami with UncleBuck and UncleJesse Qing (respectively) the UncleSam workouts….but as in all rebellious acts, the plan inadvertently changed itself….the rebels adjusted, adapted and overcame what morphed into an all out convergence…
Our revolution went down like this…
56 side straddle hops to warm the muscles and lube the joints…then starting at the 1st of 10 flags (it may have been 9, we’re not sure) 25 merkins were done, at the 2nd flag 25 American hammers, 3rd merkins, 4th hammers so on and so forth….between flags 5 and 6, the call for suicides was made, to be run back and forth across the north parking lot until 10 (or so) were completed then continue with merkins/ hammers….2 laps around the AO were completed
2nd stage of the convergence consisted of alternating sets of 50 curls w coupons and 50 air squats until 300 of each were reached…followed by alternating sets of 50 chest presses w coupon and 50 whirlyboys until 300 of each were reached….
The big finale, like all 4th of July fireworks was this…1000m run followed by 50 burpees followed by 1000m run and 50 big boy sit-ups
Time was called…our little revolution was won with 0 casualties…all pushed, all worked, all got better
we circled, we counted, we named, we prayed
remember Friday’s Fountainhead OnB will start and end at Starbucks followed by Meatloafs Manhood Restored study…..Saturday BC is at Epicenter….And please join YHC in prayer tomorrow at 10:45 for SpecialK’s daughter who is undergoing a medical procedure….
I’m glad and privileged to have hung out with you guys today and all days….peace
