Mosey to the coupon pile and grab 2 coupons. Yes, 2 coupons each and meet back at the bench.
The Thang-
So this is the first of several adjustments to YHC’s weinke. The founding forefathers of the IPC requested the evening before that we run a R&D round of week 4 IPC during the Terrapin bootcamp. You don’t have to ask me twice. So I forewarned the PAX that they would be guinea pigs for the cause. All PAX were honored to give their best and kick the tires on the week 4 prototype. One round was completed by all, and now it’s back to the weinke.
The Next Thang-
1 to 10 to 1- decline merkins/dips- each PAX will grab a spot on a bench and complete 1 decline merkin and one dip, then 2 decline merkins and 2 dips. Continue this progression to 10, then come back down to 1. Tickle went into immediate flashbacks of the Shipyard. He didn’t like them any more now than he did then. Hence the second adjustment to YHC’s weinke. Due to running a round of the IPC, we still had plenty left to do. So I called an audible to stop after 10.

YHC also spoke on how God views community. In Genesis, God created everything. After each of His creations, He saw that they were good. When Adam was placed in the garden to tend to it and the animals, God said in Genesis 2:18 “It is not good for man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” At this time, sin had not entered the world, and yet God still knew that even His perfect creation needed to be in community. It’s God’s design. That is why F3 works and grows. Men need community whether they think so or not. We were created that way. We are here for each other on the peaks and in the valleys. If there is a struggle that you are experiencing, do not keep it in and try and fight it alone. Find a PAX that you can talk to and lean on him. Build accountability with this PAX.
NMM-
Welcome FNG Dempsey! Dempsey powered through the work this morning. He was holding his own. Look forward to seeing more of Dempsey in the gloom! You guys that know him, stay on him. Our other most recent FNG, Crayola, is straight up beast. Mumblechatter is at a minimum with Crayola. He’s all work. Foley continues to be the one to chase in a farmers carry. He either loves to run with coupons, or he’s just ready to get it over as quick as he can. Fatback had to duck out a little early but keeps getting stronger and faster at bootcamps. Way to kill it Fatback. Tickle, despite issues with blood clots and lung issues, still manages to show up and show out. Good thing he is a doctor, because I am assuming he’s cleared himself to do some of the stupid crap we do. It’s a great reminder on those days when you just don’t feel like rolling out of bed or when nothing is keeping you from posting but the tug of the fartsck. Don’t be a freakin nancy. Get your six up and post up. You will be better for it and so will the PAX on either side of you. BenGay is just a machine. I can’t touch him anymore. I’m just going to use the excuse that I am older than him. Makes me sleep better at night. Encinoman, the famed Terrapin AOQ, just walked around making everyone else’s arms look small. If he ever passes out, it’s probably due to blood flow to his triceps. Great work Encinoman. It was an honor to lead this group of men on a Saturday morning. Every one of them could have slept in and got a few more hours of sleep, but they did the harder thing, and for that, I am thankful. I am better for it. Solid work men!
