Date: November 22, 2025
AO: Arrowhead β Where the clouds gathered like a Synod debate βοΈπ£οΈ
Weather: Balmy 59Β°F, cloudy with a chance of divine intervention, then rain hit like Lutherβs 95 Theses in the last 5 mins π§οΈβ‘
PAX (6 Reformers in Training): Jobs, Bolt, Copy Machine, Jake (QIC, channeling his inner Calvin with that predestined playlist πΆ), FNG Bling… but we found out there was already a Bling so yours truly has renamed him “Sparkle Solder” until next week when we can officially rename him (welcome, shiny scholar! π), FNG 50 Y (because “50-Year Mortgage” is a mouthful, and who wants eternal debt vibes? π π)
QIC: Jake β Nailing workouts to the church door since 1517 ππ¨
Warm-O-Rama: By Faith Alone, We Get Loose! ππΊ
We kicked off like every holy huddle should: Imperial Walkers to march against indulgences, Hillbilly Walkers for that rustic reformer flair πΎ. Then, Jake cranked up “Cotton Eye Joe” by Rednex β because nothing says “warm-up” like a heretical hoedown! π»π
- Man singing: SSH like we’re hopping to heaven π
- Banjo solo: Squat low, kick left/right β alternating legs like debating predestination vs. free will π€π¦΅
- Woman singing: Mericans, dropping low in humble repentance πͺπ
- Rinse & repeat β Sola Scriptura, but with beats! ππ΅
Wrapped with extra stretches (Etch A Stretch vibes, doodling our sins away βοΈ) and Lil Baby Arm Circles forward/backward β circling like Geneva theologians in a heated discussion ππ§ . Bling and 50 Y jumped in like they were born for this; turns out, theyβre Reformed theology buffs, so weβre predestined for deep convos! πβ€οΈ
The Thang: Doraβs Doctrines & Tabata Testimonies πββοΈπ§±π
Mosey into the fray with a Dora-style beatdown β partners justifying each other by works (wait, no β by faith alone, but with sweat equity)! One PAX hammered reps, the other ran to the third light pole and back like fleeing papal bulls πββοΈπ¨.
Circuit 1 & 2: The Five Solas of Suffering (Twice Through):
- Squat Thrusters w/ weight β thrusting sins skyward like Calvin casting out errors ποΈββοΈβοΈ
- Dips β dipping into grace, deeper each time π³οΈπ
- Pull-Ups β pulling ourselves up by Godβs bootstraps (or something Reformed β no Pelagianism here!) π₯π€£
Break: Tabata Thunder by Imagine Dragons β‘π
Toe Raises & Freddie Mercurys β raising toes like rising in resurrection, pedaling mercies like eternal election! π΄ββοΈπ Rain? Nah, just baptismal sprinkles starting early. π§οΈπ
Circuit 3: Swap Thrusters for Squat Upright Rows ποΈββοΈπ
Upright like Luther standing firm at Worms β “Here I stand, I can do no other… but squat!” π§ββοΈπ Did the full trio again, partners swapping like synergists in a debate.
Modified Elizabeth Warren Bernie Sanders Indian Run: Political Predestination? πββοΈπ³οΈ
Lunge walk backwards in line (retrograde like rethinking Arminianism π). Front PAX Bernie’d back, yelling “GO!” like a call to repentance. Twist: Last PAX forward-lunged to front β everyone got their glorious lunge turn! Bolt led like a bolt from heaven, Copy Machine duplicated the pain perfectly π¨οΈπ. Jobs? Employed full effort. Bling sparkled through the gloom π, and 50 Y mortgaged his quads for the cause π πΈ.
Final Circuit: Round It Out Strong π
One more lap through the exercises β perseverance of the saints, baby! πͺβ¨
Tabata 2: Africa by Toto ππ
Curls & Monkey Humpers β curling weights like curling up with Institutes of the Christian Religion, humping like… uh, monkeys in a Reformation zoo? π΅π (Humor level 7: Weβre all sinners here! π)
Final Tabata: Thunderstruck by AC/DC Under the Portico β‘π
Rain poured like Noahβs flood β we huddled under metal like ark survivors! Overhead Press & JLO’s β pressing overhead to the heavens, shaking it like Jennifer Lopez in a Geneva gown ππ. No Mary; she was busy with rosaries or something (Reformed joke! π).
Moleskin: None β But Theme? Sola Fide, Brothers! ππ€
No official moleskin, but todayβs sweatfest echoed Martin Luther and John Calvin: Weβre justified by faith alone, not by our thrusters or pull-ups (though they help the temple! πͺποΈ). Like Luther nailing theses, we nailed reps; like Calvinβs predestination, Jakeβs Q was foreordained awesome. Bling and 50 Y, theology fans? Welcome to the elect β F3βs where iron sharpens iron, grace abounds, and rain just means extra blessings! π§οΈβ€οΈ Letβs reform our fitness, one cloudy gloom at a time. π
Announcements
None β Too busy pondering TULIP (Total Ultimate Leg Ignition Protocol? π·π)
COT: Prayer Requests & Close π
Gathered for prayer requests, then sealed it with a heavenly huddle. Soli Deo Gloria! βοΈπ₯
#SYITG β Reformed and Ready for More Gloom! πππ¦ππ€π€
