PAX (11): Room Service, Slick, Keilbasa, Skipper, Merch, Grillz, Bubbles, Two Step, Almost Famous, Boy Band, Sister Act
Q: Sister Act
Stoked to be back at the Trident, YHC arrived a little too early in order to check out where there might be some dry grass for later. No luck, as either the dew point or the sprinklers had other ideas. Spots were located regardless, a couple Weinkes were set out, and it was back to the shovels to wait for PAX to show up. First on the scene was Slick, but soon after the rest of the group made their way, including Grillz and Bubbles who did a pre-run.
0530 hit, the mission, principles, and disclaimer were given, and we were off to the Jet Linx parking lot for W.

PRE-THANG: PAX went back to the shovel flag grassy area for a “Take me to church!” version of 11’s. Kneeling on one side, praise hands on the other! Yes, Lawd!
- 11’s using hydraulic squats and squat/shoulder presses
We only got to 6 and 5 on these 11’s. Not enough time! From there, we moseyed to the parking lot in front of Temple Israel.
THANG: “Solo and Ensemble” – Since YHC is named Sister Act and has experience as a choir member and director, it was only fitting to reference this high school rite-of-passage for any musician. We obvs did this very different, as there was no actual music involved.

COT: HOW DO YOU STOP AN ASTEROID ON A PATH OF DESTRUCTION?
Did you guys see that they ran a spacecraft into an asteroid yesterday? They are calling this a step forward in Planetary Defense! Pretty cool. The spacecraft was traveling at 4000 miles per second. It was the size of a vending machine and the asteroid was the size of a football field. And still they we able to hit the asteroid in the very center, knocking it off course and, in different circumstances, away from a path of destruction.
You get the metaphor. It sometimes (a lot of times) doesn’t take much to change course. Just a small act done with A TON of intentionality and precision. Want to lose weight? Make a plan, don’t just hope for the best. Want to improve your relationship with your M? Start dating her more right now. Want to be more consistently out in the gloom? Ask some brothers to hold you accountable to your goals.
Overwhelming? Then just do one! But do ask yourself – are there any paths of destruction you could potentially be on? If so, that’s a big deal and you know any one of us F3 brothers would love to be the spacecraft to collide with you. Don’t go it alone – your choir director Sister Act says so!
Aye!
