WARMUP: Short mosey to side lot for COP
THE THANG:
COP:
SSH x 20, merkin x 10, windmill x 15, downward/upward dog x 2, squat x 20, large arm circles x 20, small arm circles x 20. burpees x 7

Line up in groups of 3:
40 yd sprints with short recovery (5 reps) (take a 10 ct)

Mosey to the artificial turf for Jack Web (1:4 ratio, 10 reps). This was planned for only 7 reps, but Bowser and Ironclade pushed us to do 10. Well done, young men!

Mosey to the school building for several sets of people’s chair, wheelbarrows, lungewalk, crabwalk, and bearcrawl.

10 monkey humpers prompted by Uhaul who was rucking past the pax.

‘Secret Service detal’: around Uhaul for a bit as the pax moseyed back to the large parking lot for Mary.

MARY:
Freddie Mercury x 10, Boat and Canoe x 5, LBC x 20, Superman x 2, Body destroyer to close it out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F3 Charity Shoot to benefit Ft. Mill Care Center on Nov 11
Bourbon tasting to benefit Ft. Mill Schools on Nov 18
Please sign up if you plan to attend so organizers get a head count. Thanks to Change Order and Cyclops for their leadership and commitment to 3rd F.

COT:
Following a really crappy day at work, and a sleepless night because of it, today’s Q could not have come at a better time.
It was already scheduled several weeks ago, but perhaps a higher power was at work here, knowing that today was the day I really needed it. I knew I would feel better after some physcial exercise, but the pax who provided me with a laugh or kind word really put me back in the right frame of mind. At the close of COT, I felt 100% better. Thank you, men!

We had a great group today and the mumble chatter and jokes made for a really fun workout. It was a pleasure to lead the group as always, and I’m truly thankful for the pax of F3. I gotta give a shoutout to our juniors, Ironclad and Bowser, who are regulars at our Saturday workouts and are developing a really good habit for life. Keep up the good work, guys!

Prayers for the F3 Pax affected by the deaths or illnesses of mothers and grandmothers (Bassomatic, Boogie Down, Uhaul).

Prayers for my friend Joe with cancer and the continued recovery of my co-worker Justin (Covid). Traveling mercies for the several HS band students on the road this wknd for competitions.

Rainy morning Pantheon

Leave a comment

WARMUP: SSH (IC), honeymooners
THE THANG: moseyed over to the entrance of the school where it was dry and pulled out a deck of cards. I had a much different workout planned, but was thinking being in the rain was not the best idea for YHC, so this was plan B.
Breakdown was:
Diamonds = merkins
Spades= squats
Clubs = mountain climbers
Hearts = BBSUs
Aces were 14 count, that made everyone happy and the 2 jokers = 10 burpees
Finished early so we started some 11s with diamond merkins and lunges, but only got about 1/2 way through. Original MOT was bear crawl and crab walk, but was quickly revised to run and nur

Scary DORA

Scary DORA: 100 Burpees, 200 Big Boys, low plank while your partner ran around the circle 3x. Run back the way we came to COT, which was a long way.
MARY: Freddies, Flutters, Dollys, Merkins
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Shieldlock Challenge, Bethal Men’s Shelter, Thanksgiving Convergence, Thanksgiving volunteer opportunites.
COT: Prays asked for. Lots of transition for people and praise for getting out of bed again.

4 men showed up for a chilly morning at FMHS. Quick mosey to the band field (no signs of Band Camp). Warm ups (SSH, Imperial Walker, Windmill, Squats). Next, we used the field markers to do a burpee ladder. 1 burpee at each 10 yard marker adding 1 every 10 yards running back to the end zone.
Next, we moseyed to the freshman drop off area. Three rounds of dips x20. Continued our journey around the school to the pull-up bars. Three rounds of pull-ups x5 and squats x10.
Mosey to the front of the school. Two rounds of 1 minute toe taps. Back to COT for Mary (LBCs, Flutters, Hello Dolly, Freddie’s).
