Consistency Is a Heavy Lift – Grip It and Flip It

Leave a comment

:checkered_flag: Warm-Up (In Cadence):
– Windmills – 10
– Imperial Walkers – 15
– Low Slow Squats – 10

Slowsy to the tires and cinderblocks to get our minds right for what’s coming.

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 1
Each PAX picks up the biggest tire they can handle. We move in formation—when a man drops his tire, he drops for 1 burpee. The next PAX drops after a 10-count. We go counterclockwise until everyone completes the loop = The Pain Train.

:repeat: 5 Work Stations (rotate when Sledgehammer station hits 20 swings):
1. Sledgehammer Slams (Timer): 20 swings on the large tire
2. Cinderblock Deadlifts
3. Cinderblock Curls + Overhead Hold
4. Tire Flips
5. Cinderblock Overhead Presses

:runner: Mosey – One lap around the parking lot to reset

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 2
Same tire drill, but this time 2 burpees on each drop. Stations remain the same.
1. Sledgehammer Slams (Timer): 20 swings on the large tire
2. Cinderblock Deadlifts
3. Cinderblock Curls + Overhead Hold
4. Tire Flips
5. Cinderblock Overhead Presses
6.
:runner: Mosey – Another lap around the lot
Steady. Silent. Suffering.

:steam_locomotive: THE PAIN TRAIN – Round 3 (Bonus Round)
Burpees increase to 3 per drop. Then:
– 1 PAX flips the tire once
– 2 PAX flip the tire twice
– 3 PAX flip the tire three times
– 4 PAX flip the tire four times

Once all reps are in—haul the tires back to the starting line.

:brain: 3rd F: Consistency – The Unseen Power of Steady Leadership
““Today we’re going to dive into one of the most underrated leadership traits—Consistency. In our homes, workplaces, and in the gloom, it’s not always the loudest man who leads—it’s the most steady.””
Key Highlights:
– Consistency builds trust over time.
– Complexity is the enemy—simplify to stay steady.
– The consistent man becomes a safe harbor for those around him.

Challenge to PAX:
Where in your life are you slipping? What system or habit needs to be rebuilt? Steady beats flashy. Every time.

:pray: COT / Announcements / Closing Prayer
We circled up, locked shields, and prayed it out—grateful for the men who show up again and again and again.

Six young men enjoyed running thru Kingsley this morning, picking exercises out of three different buckets spread out around the campus. The required number of burpees was achieved and there was little complaining.

Prayers for graduates, travel for families coming to town, C Kasum is moving a kid to Pensacola. Big weekend.

Don’t forget about the lawn mowing at the Care Center and Thursday night Bethel Shelter meal is coming up.

Happy days

Leave a comment

WARMUP: ssh, windmills, imp walkers, hillbilly walkers and Peter Parkers, all in cadence
THE THANG: a round of 13s – 2 stations were set up a hundred or so feet from each other. Station 1 the pax did merkins and shoulder taps – starting count was one. The pax migrated to station 2 via lieutenant dans, and at station 2 did big boi sit ups and American hammers ( or was it Russian twists, I forget) – starting count was 12. The pax returned to station via a mosey around the parking lot.

The task proved a bit ambitious for us, as we reached 6:00 with a couple of rounds left to go, but at f3, we get paid by the hour, not by the rep, so the effort was honorable

After reminiscing about the old abc wide world of sports, we spent some time brainstorming some good f3 names inspired by IP of our youth. Don’t be surprised if an upcoming fng goes home named something like Danny Zucko, Fonzie, or Grimace.
MARY: negative ghost rider
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
COT: prayers were lifted for vuvu and other pax in attendance
