Graveyard shift

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Pledge if you pledge. Ruckers did their thing
THE THANG: Head to Hardees, which is fenced off, so we kept running to Elliot and up to the cemetery. Right on Unity to start our loop.
20 squats at the West entrance to Unity church
20 merkins at Steele St
20 LBCs on E Hill
20 Grave Diggers on Unity

Three laps were completed. Then 20 squats at Unity church. Then run up and down the steps at First Baptist for 20 merkins. Down to Academy and up to do LBCs at the Axe place. Then back to COT

Everyone got ~3.7miles
MARY: 90 seconds of Mary
COT: Circle of Trust initiated. What’s on men’s hearts? Get the internal external. F3 is for all men. ALL of them. Not just those of our preferred flavor of a religion. F3 helps everyone. If somehow it saves a soul from the perspective of any particular PAX, great. We’re here to make leaders of all men, let’s keep on keeping on.

The Board of Pain isn’t that hard. It isn’t completable in 45 minutes. But it ain’t about finishing, it’s about seeing how far you can go!

You:
– Show up
– Put forth the effort
– Share suffering amongst the PAX
– Build camaraderie
– Teach yourself that
– You can take on challenging tasks
– You will improve
– You accelerate when other men are striving alongside you

There are plenty of harder workouts. But the Board is doable by ALL MEN. Be present and try; that’s all it takes! You don’t have to get far; you just have to go.

How is it in our lives that we have a problem and the solution is the same? Be present and try

We ain’t getting it all done today, but today’s effort still matters!

Pyramid of Pain

Leave a comment

Quick disclaimer
And warmup
5 windmills, 10 IW/10MNC

Mosey to behind school on bball courts where the pyramid of pain was set up

5 stations, 4 corners and 1 in middle
Partner up ( work is completed together)
Each of the corners had a cone with an exercise listed
LBCs, CDDs, Squats Monkey Humpers and then Hand release merkins in the middle
The corners increase by 10 each round but the HR merkins stay at 10- changed to this after realizing that having to do 4 sets per round, and increasing would be impossible. So at the corners 10, 20, 30, 40, 50 ( didn’t make it to round 5)
Mode of transport changed every round:
Bear crawls
Crawl bears
Partner carrys
Wheel barrows
Leap frogs (we didn’t make it to this round)
Two teams got through the full 4 rounds without bat flipping- lots of modifications happened so ppl took my disclaimer to heart ?

Jesus can do it and change everything :clap: :fire: :point_up_2:
