New Office Tour

Leave a comment

On what was the most humid day of the year so far, 9 pax got after it in the gloom. <@U01NGHPR2HW> asked that I give my “why” for F3. My why isn’t because of the workout or doing something that most ordinary people wouldn’t do or because it put me in the best shape of my adult life when I was called to donate a kidney to a friend, but it’s because of the group of men that create a community that cares about each other.
I know that if I don’t show up, someone will wonder where I am, how I’m doing, and truly care about me.
This is more than a workout group. It’s a community that I’m proud to be a part of. Keep posting, check on Kotters, and get more men into this group.
WARMUP: We mossey’d over to the First Baptist church parking lot to give us some room and some nice pavement to work from. Started with SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Merkins, Parker Peters
THE THANG: The OG Dora of 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. Followed that with a Jack (1/2 of a Jack Webb) of burpees and Overhead claps and then a Webb Jack of Mountain Climbers and Mack-tar-njais.
MARY: Ran back towards COT and then climbed the steps at the park before going back to Veterans Park for some box cutters and some flutters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter service on 7/3/26.
COT: Lots of prayers for families, jobs, and our group.

WARMUP: Cyclops kindly warmed up the Pax as YHC was coming in hot after doubling down
THE THANG: Moseyed to the field next to the park, laid out the Starfish workout, the 5 arms were counts of 15 each and they were: Swing Crunches, BBSU, Singlet Merkin (crowd favorite), Squats (real ones not Twerks) and flutters, count one leg. Each time we can back to the center of the Starfish it was 3 Burpees, rinse and repeat 3X (Total of 45 reps of each exercise). We then moseyed to the parking lot, bottom of the hill we did a decelerator, 3 exercises, started at reps of 25 then 15 and 5, exercises were LBC, Merkins and Seal Jacks. Between each set run to the top of the hill, jump and smack the stop sign (Minute Man didn’t have to jump!)

Per Lamar Jackson on your excuses: “No one cares, work harder!”

MARY: Couple of minutes to dedicate to Mary
