Introduction
We owe this entire workout to Nala for playing a song called Breaking The Law during his workout yesterday. Somebody, not naming names cou_Sweet Gerkins_gh, started in on Beavis and Butthead quotes. Those of us old enough to know immediately joined in. Big Rig looked totally confused by what all the old guys where jabbering on about. He might have been thinking we were all having a shared stroke or something. From there my Q was basically ordained by the F3 gods.

COT
As we celebrate this long weekend keep in mind the reason for the celebration. Those who died for our freedom. I have had several conversations over the last week around person choice, free will and the freedom to choose. Be it choosing to wear a mask, get vaccinated, or even get out in the gloom for a workout you have that freedom.
So this weekend take a minute to stop and say a prayer for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. And if you come across a Veteran, thank them as well for their service.
Dear Heavenly Father
Thank You for this day;
Thank You for these men,
Thank you for the freedom to choose the Daily Red Pill and those who help us to be better at this life
those who model, those who encourage and those who build up
Help us to take all that we have gained here In The Gloom and give it up for your glory.
Help us to use it to be better Fathers, Husbands, Friends and Neighbors.
In your Son’s Holy name we pray!
AMEN

This workout was a hoot to prepare and I even made a last minute adjustment based off inspiration from Mumblechatter on slack. The execution was a little rough as some of the exercises were clumsy but the burn was definitely there and the guys seemed to enjoy it.
