Disclaimer attempted …
The PAX brought the energy this morning, had to get their attention… 5 burpees!
Disclaimer given, and it was probably the best disclaimer I have ever given. “We will be going off campus, lighting should be ok, but please watch your footing.”
F3 Credo – and encouraged that whoever led would do clave raises/shoulder taps for the 6, Their pick each time.

**How does a man know his belief system is based upon truth?
5 Burpees
5 Merkins
5 Squats
5 LBCs
5 Mike Tysons
**Study puts a Leader’s Belief System to the Test.

THANG 2: **Is Faith static or dynamic?

10 Squats
9 Monkey Humpers
8 Lunges
7 Carolina Dry Docks
6 Sumo Squats
5 Bobby Hurley’s (or whoever else you like that dribbles/cheers)

Buckets o pain

Leave a comment

The buckets made a return to another AO since we last saw them at Slowburn.

With a warmup with our friends from Tomahawk we then took off to near the band practice area where we ran all over drawing exercise assignments from three distantly placed buckets o pain.

As the Q, I believe I was the loudest complainer of the morning and I made the whole thing up. Sad. (Looked good on paper.)

Prayers for Luka and DT.

Black Diamond: Where are you screwing up?

Leave a comment

Black Diamond Month

WARMUP:
101 SSH (went till someone quit)
20 burpees in cadence
20 Imperial Squat Walkers

Planked up to list some of the ways I’m currently failing. This would be a recurring theme for each PAX to share how they’re screwing up. My two are currently a lack of kindness in dealing with my sons, and relying on being good in the moment so I forego preparation. I haven’t fully prepared for something in quite a while.

We then ran a pretty fast mile, and finished with 20 Cossack Squats in cadence

THE THANG:
Grouped up facing a long string of 22 parking spaces. We bear crawled the length of the lot stopping for either merkins or squats (individual’s choice) at each space. The rep count added 1 each time. This was tough, so we crawl bear back to the start, only for me to call some yoga and then we simply mosey away. Sometimes the fear of having to do it all over again is worse than what actually happens next.

Went to the playground for partner Dick Webbs (1:4; pull-up:merkin). Only got one round for each partner while the other took a lap. I told the PAX to keep track of their numbers, because numbers matter! But what did we do with the rep counts? Nothing. Because the only numbers that should matter to you are the ones that you care about and that you find add an advantage to your life. Don’t believe what someone else tells you SHOULD matter.

On the way back to COT, we hit the picnic bench collection (where the elementary kids had left enough gear and water bottles some PAX questioned whether the rapture had happened and we just didn’t know it) for Bulgarian Split Squats

At 0600, PAX were reminded that every F3 workout should focus on 3S2T (Speed, Strength, Stamina, and Mental+Physical Toughness). You can’t work on your stamina until you’re already tired. So after 0600, we did some more fast SSH in cadence. (For the record, we still ended COT around 0607. We gotta get kids to school and ourselves to work.)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter tonight! Next date is 6/1

COT: Moment of candor, I struggle with how to make the workout harder, because I try to make it challenging every time I Q. I even read back over this backblast and considered repeating the whole workout: https://f3thefort.com/2019/02/21/black-diamond-3-at-the-ranch-get-some/ But no amount of working out hard will makeup for ignoring your wife when she needs you, constantly prioritizing work over your kids, or BSing your way though something you could have crushed with focused preparation. So, that was where the black diamond took us this morning.

An honor to lead the group that showed this morning. Thanks Poppins for asking me to lead. Keep up the great Site-Q work!
