Whats the point of this

Leave a comment

Sometimes I wonder if a ‘backblast’ is important. Yes, I can here the admins now screaming their doctoral rhetoric at their phone screens. ‘Its for new guys to get ideas’, ‘Its to share with people that weren’t there’, ‘Its to get our name plugged into the all powerful algorithm and track our stats.’

I kinda think its BS. When F3 started we didn’t have any of this crap. Not to say change is bad (or good), but to say are we missing the point. F3 isn’t about any of the things we are told to use a backblast for. That’s one of the things I always loved about Indian Land, the fact you wont find any record of it anywhere. But we, and you know who we are, what we were about, and the legend was born.

I suggest this. If you are gonna right a backblast, tell me something I cant find on YouTube. If I need a workout, that’s easy to find. I want the meat. What was your challenge, mentally. Who did you push. Did the PAX overcome. Did you grow as a leader.

Are you forging your legacy?

If you want to know what we do at my workouts, then show up. Otherwise just know we will be there sharpening our steel. Ill call impossible tasks not for the physical work, but to test your mind and fortitude. And just know I WILL be right there with you. Good or Bad, BC is here to stay.

I’m sure Ill get kicked out of F3 for these statements

Deuces, sandwiches and firearms… and the village people

Leave a comment

WARMUP: wasn’t sure if we were joining the inning club or if the 2nd core principle was about to be challenged, but then figured out the run club had a new meet up spot.

Started with SSH, cherry pickers, merkins, up and down dogs.
THE THANG: The plan was a 15 min mile pace where the last 1/4 mile would be a shuffle. As we completed the miles (we got in 3), we took the rucks off for some PT.
– 10 shoulder press
– 10 swings
– 10 up rows
– 10 curls
– 10 squats
– 10 side bends each side

We rucked down to the circle at Hubert Graham, ran the hill for the last quarter mile. Then rucked halfway down Stonecrest blvd and back to circle for mile 2. Then rucked back to the front of the school for mile 3.
MARY: overhead carry back to COT
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter
COT: of course! CSPAN style and lots of kids activities and new starts to be thankful for (this was the theme)

No lube needed

So here’s the thing, I missed a few guys. Not bc I don’t appreciate my fans, but bc I was having oxygen issues in the brain and the video evidence was maliciously destroyed.

The 4 headed monster(ish) was fantastic and went as follows

Birdcage- 5 minute run for a warm up
LTrain- bear crawls, lunges, merkins, lbc, squats, running
Cohiba- Step ups, derkins, irkins, crab walks, more running
Fogerty- burpees, bear crawl, diamond merkins, uphill, more running
Liberty Biberty- wall sits, and running, and more running

Here’s the deal, we are accelerating. We are taking the first step TODAY. I couldn’t be any happier to be taking over #Bushpit. I have ideas, you want more, I will give the people what they want. Today is a new day for me, and you, and the Wood. Show to know what I got in store for next week. #MILGA

Pardon the Interruption

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Some movements at the green at amphitheatre
THE THANG:
10 burpees, pax run in any direction for 10 secs and return home
10 burpees, repeat run in same direction for 15 secs, return home
10 burpees, run same direction for 20 secs, return home

Starting with youngest pax (Tarzan) each pax took the group to his end point where pax did various exercises

Stop 1 = legs + burpees
Stop 2 = chest+ burpees
Stop 3 = core + burpees
Stop 4 = ground movements+ burpees
Stop 5 = burpees

Return home

Disruption was the theme today where pax didn’t know where we were going , what exercises we were doing, what reps we were counting. There were odd numbers and interrupted sequences and patterns.

We’re human, we want patterns, we want control. Sometimes life just won’t cooperate with our desires or minds. Today was proe for those times.

Thanks for the push and the perseverance. Great job, brothers!

MARY: included in the Thang
ANNOUNCEMENTS: HIM Camp, bethel, shovel Flag handoff Tue
COT: yes, as always
