Spanish Invasion comes to The Fort

Leave a comment

@Cohiba ran on Puerto Rican time today at #ao-varsity. This also explains why @Bobber chronically pushes past 0515 arrivals. There were a lot of words; many of us understood very few. Let’s not allow cultural differences to impede F3 being OPEN to ALL men.

@Cohiba likes Big Boys
@Bobber understands more than he says, but when he’s in cadence it’s sweetly melodic
@Jazz Hands has invisible Big Boys
@Bitcoin counts well in many languages, and also likes Big Boys
@Boogie Down didn’t translate much for us, but could have
@Saw Dust apparently went of some kind of rant in name-o-rama
@Cousin Eddie spent the entire time confused (as did YHC)
@Mark Twain said something like: “Me da cólera” about the DORA. I just hope it doesn’t turn into dysentery
@Retiree wondered what he’d stumbled upon, but his buddy @chickenhawk was there to guide the way
@SouptoNuts put his Criminal Justice degree to work. Just like he does every other day, by being a more educated human
@HarryCarry was there early for “Ironing Pants,” but I might have misheard that. @CakeBoss and @Shield were helping. When you have to carry something that harry (hairy?), I suppose you need help ironing your pants? :man-shrugging:

You could spend the whole day wondering if you’ll fit within a new environment, read up on the lexicon, ask guys about procedure, examine backblasts, and consider where your priorities really are. But if you don’t set that alarm and get out of the fart sack…well: “too mah-leh-teen!”

This report is subject to verificación by @Punch List….if he ever opens slack again to check all these notifications
The names should be above

Kriss Kross beatdown

Leave a comment

Before starting I gave the standard disclaimer, but also proceeded to tell the Pax that we will be running backwards the entire workout which was also why I showed up with my shirt on backwards. Band Camp thought I just did that by mistake.

WARMUP:
Nur up to stop sign and did the following:
SSH
Windmill
Down dog, honeymooner
Merkins

Keep nuring down the hill toward pull up bars
Stopped again halfway down
Squats
Something else that I don’t remember

Stopped again at the bottom
Stretched out the arms
Moroccan Night Club
Nur

Pull-up bars are now locked up to my surprise so we modified thanks to Bobber. YHC decided we would just continue to make a large loop around the school stopping along the way to do the following exercises

5 burpees
10 LBCs
10 jump squats
10 merkins
7 leg raises
10 Dips

I believe we stopped 8 times completing all exercises each time.

This wasn’t the easiest thing to do especially the last two legs of the run. Pax covered over 1 mile all backwards. Good work men. Let’s see how we feel in the morning.

100 yards of fun

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Quick mozy around the perimeter of the band practice area (parking lot/football field).  Brief warmup of mountain climbers followed by squats and plank jacks.

THE THANG:
– Partner leapfrog starting in the endzone with partner 1 lunge walking to the 10 yard line and doing 10 merkins.  He then runs to the 20 yard line.  At the same time, partner 2 does 10 merkins in the endzone then runs to the 10 and lunge walks to the 20.  Flip flop until full length of field covered.  
– With minor confusion after round 1, we modified and returned as a group to the original start with bear crawls, jogging and 15 squats every 20 yards.

– Cones were then set out every 10 yards to the 50 with one exercise on each. Pax would run to the 10 and do 10 reps of the exercise shown, then run to the far end of the field to reach the next 10 yard line and repeat the exercise. Pax would then repeat coming back down the opposite side of the field and stop at each 10 yard line for 10 reps.
– After a full lap, Pax moved to the 20 and did 20 reps at each 20. Laps and reps increased until we reached the 50.
– Exercises and total reps completed:
– 10 yard line: 8-count burpees (40 total)
– 20 yard line: squats (80 total)
– 30 yard line: plank jacks (120 total)
– 40 yard line: SSH (160 total)
– 50 yard line: Merkins (100 total)

– With a little time remaining we returned to the end zone and bear crawled the length of the lot. At each 10 yard line we did 10 LBCs. (100 total)

– Closed things out by walking back the length of the field/lot to COT. On the walk we discussed empathy and the importance of understanding other’s perspectives to provide insights into their beliefs and actions. Pax was encouraged to apply it at home, work and while traveling on I-77 during rush hour.

Block Party at Block Party

Leave a comment

Eight men showed up on a humid morning, some stayed up late watching football. This morning everyone would win. Simple loop around the downtown area. Four stops with exercises at each one.

1. Pharmacy – Plank Jacks (10 reps)
2. Parking lot after Rail Bridge – Hand Releasee Merkins (10 reps)
3. Gazebo – Bobby Hurley (10 reps)
4. Memorial Park – Man Makers (5 reps) Cinderblocks, Sandbags, and Kettle bell were available for this stop.

After each lap, we added 1 rep count to each stop. Most got 5 to 6 rounds before time expired.
Great job by all!

FOOPC at Bushwood 4 NextGen

Leave a comment

The aim today was simple; remind men our mission never ends, what we PAX have is a gift to give, and looking around, there’s a legion of men we can give it to in order to amplify our impact and invigorate male community leadership in our very small corner of Fort Mill that has over 4,500 students.

We had an FNG (JCruises’) son with us., sophomore at Catawba Ridge Highschool, the NextGen.

Bandcamp had informed me of a region that starts its disclaimer by reciting our mission. That’s a best practice we should adopt to remind us why we are here. It’s even more critical when an FNG is present, you can get a good workout at numerous establishments including the comforts of your own home, what makes us different if it’s only a workout?

WARMUP: Run aimlessly to Forest Creek Middle School and do stuff while plotting a few tweaks to the weinke.

THE THANG: 5 stops was the plan with exercises in FOOPC order.

We commonly forget our 5 core principles or at least do not recall them in order (I still need to figure out why that may matter, but it does). We all love our acronyms; therefore, I dug deep into the exicon to arrange a workout based on FOOPC. I should of just asked @italianjob who quickly rattled off a number of exercises to pull from.

F – Free of charge
O – Open to all men
O – Held outdoors
P – Peer-led in a rotating fashion
C – Ends in COT

Stop 1

FCMS light posts 5,10,15,20,25
Flying Squirrel
One legged burpees
Peter Parker
CDDs

Stop 2: Omaha to basketball courts with gorilla walk merkin across the court.

Stop 3: Run to the student parking area, repeat FOOPC with a couple exercises swapped.

Stop 4: Wrap around to our favorite hill by the football field, and repeat FOOPC up light posts. While en route, heckled by our Weasel Shaker to lead from the front and our FNG is not breaking a sweat. I expected nothing less from the source.

Stop 5: Arriving to COT, called Captain Therkin Webb, a complicated webb you call in cadence. Took a couple of rounds but think we synced up to 5 rounds

1 – BBSU
1- American Hammer (4 count is 1)
4 – Merkins

Summary

I came in today with a lot on my mind; conviction about the NextGen, F3 in our community east of the peachstand, and feeling spicy that we’re not doing enough and can do better.

Honored to lead 13 PAX this morning, a responsibility I never take lightly. That number should be the bar here at Bushwood, and the majority should reside within 3 miles. It’s a crime against humanity to have less given the thousands of men in close proximity who may be a Sad Clown, need us to lean in and ignite them so that they may in turn perpetuate the cycle and cumulatively, have a broader impact than any one of us will ever have on our own. These men need us, our community needs us, and most importantly the next generation needs us.

Our mission is clear so do for one what you wish you could do for many.
