Yellow Brick Road at Kingsley

Leave a comment

Arrived early to grab a parking spot near COT because I brought some “battle buddies” for the PAX, two brick pavers for each man to carry during the workout. At first, they felt pretty light. But as the workout progressed, those same bricks became harder to carry and lift. The weight hadn’t changed, but our strength to carry it was wearing down. Life’s burdens can feel the same way. They start small, and we tell ourselves, “I’ve got this. I can handle it OYO.” But as life piles on, what once felt manageable starts weighing us down. Before we know it, we’re struggling to stay afloat and the men beside us may have no idea. At the end of the workout, I asked the PAX: What if we went back to the beginning, gave just one man two bricks, and told him he could share that load with the brothers around him? How much easier would that burden have been to carry together? That’s the message that stuck with me from the EXCAVATION session at Forest Hill Church: We were never designed to carry our burdens OYO! Reach out. Cry out. Speak out. Whatever is weighing you down, you don’t have to carry it alone. You have brothers in the gloom who love you and want to help, but you have to let them know what you’re carrying. Don’t let fear, shame, or guilt keep you on the OYO path. Asking for help takes courage. And when you speak up, you may give another man the courage to do the same. Love ya, fellas and praying your day is filled with the blessing of being loved and loving others!

WARMUP: SSHICx15, HBWsICx10, LSSsICx7, LBACsx20, OHCsx10 with Burpees mixed in.

THE THANG: Moseyed from COT to the car so PAX could pick up their battle buddies – 2 brick pavers. The ask was not to let go of your battle buddy during the workout.

We moseyed over to the parking lot behind Panera and started an Indian Run around the parking lot to finish our warmup. Every guy made 3 trips up the line, onto the next thing.

1/2 DORA: 50 Burpees (bricks had to be raised OH), 100 SSH, 150 LBCs (bricks held in extended press position while performing the exercise)
Sweat was flowing, onto the next thing.

Jack Webb w/ Bricks: 1:4 -> 10:40, 1st exercise was Merkins, 2nd exercise was OH Claps
Arms were smoked, onto the next thing.

Superman Poses w/Bricks: 4 different poses held for approx. 10-15sec. each, so much fun the first go around we did it again.
Core work completed, moseyed back to the car to drop off our battle buddies, and then headed to COT.

MARY: Had enough time for a few PAX to call various core exercises.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Serve at Bethel tonight, Fort Mill Care Center, read your newsletter

COT: STK!

Every Second Counts

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Blue took the reins and rocked his first leadership effort as a pax of The Fort! SSH, Windmill, Merkin, etc

THE THANG: Pax moseyed to the parking garage at Sunbelt Rentals (The Forbidden Zone according to OldBay) and split into two teams

Cindies were available for some weighted exercises at the top level
Bottom level was used for Core exercises

Teams took turns completing one exercise with 10 reps at the top while other team did a continuous core exercise at the bottom. Then the teams swapped. Then swapped again and continued to the next exercise.

Pair 1 = Squats (top) & Balls to wall (bottom)
Pair 2 = Swings & People's chair
Pair 3 = OH press & plank
Pair 4 = Bent over rows & Flutters

After the first round, pax paused to hear about Every Second Counts from "The Bear" on Hulu. Then teams tackled a second round of the same series at a faster pace.

Teams gathered for one final pair that included Man Makers at the top and American Hammer at the bottom.

Mosey back home

MARY: Completed throughout the workout

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Trash pickup 0745 at Harris St Park on Sat 8/22, VQ by Blue at Dawn Patrol on Tue 9/8

COT: Yes!

Pax offered many compliments to Blue on this solid cadence count and terminology during the warm up. He was completely unflustered by Twister's heckling immediately to his right. While he's not a professional today, Blue clearly tapped into his prior professional status as a US Marine many years back. Well done!

Thanks to Site Q OldBay for indulging a little extra risk in exploring the Sunbelt parking garage. The Flock cameras were in full view, so perhaps he's not completely out of the woods yet. Show up next Thur to find out!

The pax pushed through a steamy morning with Cindy offering few complaints. Not sure if that's a good thing (the lack of complaints), but I know everyone was drenched at COT and we covered the major fitness elements.

"Every Second Counts" was the mantra for the staff in the TV series "The Bear". For the most part, it drove a mindset of performance on a consistently high pace, so it seemed an appropriate theme for an F3 workout. At the same time, it can also be heard as a theme for Presence (ie, living in the moment) and can thus be a theme across all elements of life. Where could this apply in your life?

Thanks to all for their Presence today and to Old Bay for the invite!

Warning Lights

Leave a comment

WARMUP: a series of exercises with 1 rep (yes, DOAH, ONE rep!) plus some moseys and other movements around the loop to the playground

THE THANG: The main event theme was Blue Ridge Relay training in the form of hill repeats up Stairway to Heaven, followed by exercises at the statue down the right side of the Stairway, then a mosey back to start. The winner of each heat picked the exercise and then started the next heat with a 5 count delay for the others to run ahead. The last couple heats involved some partner exercises. We wrapped up with a collection of Burpees.

MARY: Done throughout the Main Event

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT: yes, as required by the 5th Core Principle (in proper order, DOAH)

This group can sprint! Jekyll, Spike, Ruby, Davinci, Dojo, Minuteman and Super G kicked into the highest gear they've probably seen in a while. Well done! Keep up the sprinting! Fishstix says we need it to stay young.

Along the way, the pax shared experiences and suggestions on ways to monitor our life gauges (ie, overheating mentally, running out of gas physically, etc), including watching each other's dashboards and calling out when a brother may be in a potential red zone. Am I watching my dashboard before the crash? Am I truly listening to feedback from others who care about me?

Thanks to everyone for pushing me through another BRR training session! Thanks to Minuteman for the invite!
