Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.

Strength in Motion, Buckets of Pain and Cinderblock Regret

Leave a comment

Pre-Workout Prep

Pulled into the gloom at 4:45 AM—silent, still, and completely void of movement. With no one in sight, I set up three lanes with four stations each:
• Cone 1: 5-gallon buckets filled with bricks for farmer carries
• Cone 2: Cinderblocks
• Cone 3: Sandbags
• Cone 4: More cinderblocks

Then it hit me—I was 15 minutes early. The start time was 5:15, not 5:00. So, a slow mosey to the COT area, where I linked up with Farmers Only and Brawley. Soon enough, the PAX began to roll in, ready to put in work.

At 5:15 on the dot, we launched. Disclaimer was given, and movement began.

Warmup (Buy-In)
• 25 Cinderblock Thrusters
• 25 Sandbag Throws
• 25 Bucket Squats

The Thang

PAX counted off into two teams, then received their marching orders: Work through each station in rotation, with a farmer carry serving as the movement driver.

Round 1
• Cone 1: Farmer carry buckets (approx. 0.05 miles)
• Cone 2: Sandbag Squats
• Cone 3: Cinderblock Front Raises
• Cone 4: Cinderblock Overhead Press

Partner 1 carried the two 5-gallon buckets down to the cone and back while the remaining PAX worked at their respective stations. Upon return, everyone rotated stations.

Round 2
• Cone 1: Farmer carry buckets
• Cone 2: Sandbag Bent Over Rows
• Cone 3: Cinderblock Curls to Press
• Cone 4: Cinderblock Tricep Extensions

Round 3
• Cone 1: Farmer carry buckets
• Cone 2: Sandbag Curls
• Cone 3: Cinderblock Manmakers
• Cone 4: Cinderblock Swings

Rinse and repeat—we cycled back to Round 1 and got about halfway through before time called.

Finisher (Buy-Out)
• 25 Cinderblock Thrusters
• 25 Sandbag Throws
• 25 Bucket Squats

Quick clean-up, then straight to COT.

COT (Circle of Trust)

Announcements:
• Convergence Friday
• The Jäger on Saturday, plus the check giveaway
• Fast 5K for Luka
• Read your newsletter for more details

Prayers/Praises:
• Health concerns for many family members
• Mental health struggles among the PAX and their loved ones
• Gratitude for the men who showed up, held each other accountable, and pushed through the work

Final Thoughts

No wasted reps. No shortcuts. Just men showing up in the gloom, embracing the grind, and getting stronger together. Iron sharpens iron.

SYITG.
