17 HIM showed up and showed out in the wonderful 68 degree weather to be part of F3 Republic’s phenomenal week.

Date of Beatdown:

 26/07/2019

Name-O-Rama:

 Names...let's just say, The Joe Hendricks Team (if you were part of the kettlebell beatdown, you know what I'm talking about)

Warm-Up-Gig:

 One Minute Warning & Disclaimer given

Upward & Downward Dog

Warm-up lap around the grassy area

The Thang That Surely Happened:

 We moseyed to the front of Conway's City Hall, beside the Town Clock

The first set of about ten KB stations consisted of two exercises: Bicep Curls & Overhead Tricep Extensions. Everyone rotated between exercises while moving throughout the stations. The pacer would bear crawl up the steps of City Hall and over to the next set of steps where we would crawl bear down.

The next set was the same process, but the two rotating exercises were Swings and American Hammers with the kettlebells.

This is when the fun really began.

This time we switched between Figure 8s and Renegade Rows, but the pacer changed. We now did Joe Hendricks up the steps (backwards bear crawls - thanks Postal for introducing this to The Anvil).

Around this time is when Goldberg "encouraged" a few of the PAX by announcing how they should tighten up. Goldberg's always looking...and trash talking.

For the last set, we kept pace with Joe Hendricks again and the stations consisted of Straight Arm Raises and Sit-Ups with the KBs.

We moseyed back for COT and were able to get a couple laps in as our runners joined us for the final minutes.

Circle of Trust:

 Count-O-Rama & Name-O-Rama

Several prayer requests and announcements were made

We discussed the meaning of "HIM" and 2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature..."

BOM

Moleskin:

 This was my Crucible VQ, but I'm proud to say that I've now had the privilege to lead at each F3 Republic at least once now. I'm also so very honored to be a part of such a great group of High Impact Men.

YHC was happy to be back in the mix this AM after laying low the last two weeks handling some family stuff. It’s always an honor to be among the men and lead. Thankfully RunOff showed up early to help me hitch to the trailer o/ goodies. We rolled over and dispersed the iron in time to squeeze off a quick 15 minute pre-run.

Date of Beatdown:

 2019-05-10

Name-O-Rama:

 Barney, Super Dave, PopTart, Pert Plus, Postal, Site Work, FacePlant, Cavalier, Runoff, MudSlide, HoeDown (QIC)

Warm-Up-Gig:

 AS the running Pax took off to race the street sweepers, the 7 of us lifters stretched out with some old-school moves as well as some new aged yoga poses. Lot's of mumble chatter about warrior posing and the such. It works. Nuff said.

The Thang That Surely Happened:

 Today's q was a no rest style Q. In between kettlebell movements, the PAX performed exercises in cadence, ran horses with the battle rope, or pushed the hair-burner pallet on the out and back.
Lots of movements were performed with precision and correct sequencing. YHC made sure that we stayed in a balanced and reasonable full body sequence. The stuff of learned doctors.
We kept lifting under the Q command until the streets were flowing with testosterone.

Our running mates rejoined us with 8 minutes to go and assimilated into the lifting cycle.

Circle of Trust:

 Barney invited all of us to support the R.E.D. Friday effort in honor of all those deployed. (Remember Everyone Deployed). Please make an effort to wear red to the Crucible in a show of support.

We exchanged some prayer concerns and a word was shared from Philippians 2. We should have the same mind of Christ who with his life and death modeled "picking up the six" as well as "leading in a rotating fashion."

We gathered in prayer, gave thanks and broke the huddle with one accord.

Announcements:

 Support RED Fridays.
Q sheets are always open!
Get out and EH the FNGs.
