Cheese and Bear Shredder Block Party

Mentioned the core principles and mission of F3
WARMUP: Ran up the hill across the street of the AO to the parking lot and began the Warmup consisting of SSH, Windmills, Morrocon NC, Imperial Walkers, and Strawberry Pickers
THE THANG: We began with the Cheese Shredder and then went into the next exercises as follows:
From the first light pole, we would do Burpees in a ladder starting with one Burpee and went to the last light pole and did 10 Mountain Climbers. The mode of transportation between the light poles for the first round was a Bear Crawl. Then we ran back to the first pole and continued to 2 Burpees and went to the last pole and did 20 Mountain Climbers with the mode of transportation as Lunges. So, we completed 8 rounds of these exercises in the above pattern with the mode of transportation in Round 3 as Crawl Bear, Round 4 as Crab Walk and rinse and repeat the modes for Rounds 5-8. At completion of Round 8, we ran back to COT.

No talking = leadership opportunities…and a shovel flag handoff!

WARMUP: started things up with very little voice and the voice lasted about 2 min before going out.

Got things going with SSH, low slow squat, merkins. I think that was about it because talking and calling cadence was not happening.

Mosey over to the front of the school for some additional warm up.

Ran over to the corner for some partner work.
THE THANG: Dora is game so we partnered up.

Shower curtain helped call out the exercise.
100 diamonds
200 lunges
300 flutters (4 count)

Partner 1 runs back to the front of school, partner 2 does exercises until back

We then ran over to all the benches by the R wing and did some 7s using the benches running back and forth between benches.

Exercises were dips and derkins.
MARY: some stretching, some core, and some burpees??
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jester was our Q source point today so this was covered throughout the workout thanks to JWOW, shower curtain, and Esso.

Also a big shovel flag transfer! Thanks to Cyclops and congrats to Warning Track!
COT: of course!

To the 50….and beyond

Nice morning for Acceleration at The Box. First day on site as Site Q and on the the Q as well. Middle and Upper Management present to ensure flag in ground and disclaimer read. Following Qsource, the topic today was “M”.

WARMUP:
Mosey, SSH x 26 (IC), Windmill x 10 (IC), stretched the calves, MNC x 15 (IC)

Spur #1 – Accelerating Fellowship requires Relational Rhythm –> Preparedness. Goal is not a static state of balance.

THE THANG:

Mosey to hill closest to Hwy 21
Down and up the hill x 3. Burpees at the top, Merkins at the Bottom. (15-10-5). Complete 20 reps each hill completion (i.e. 15 burpees/5 merkins, 10/10, 5 burpees/15 merkins).

Spur – You do not meet your M at the 50 yard line. This is not a balancing act, it may not be fair. You go beyond the 50 and to the endzone if need be.

To illustrate this, we did a 4th round down and up the hill even though the thought was we were doing 3 and recovering.

We then moseyed to the pull up bars for some AMRAP. We made it through 4 rounds of: 5 pullups – 10 merkins – 15 squats – 20 LBCs. Then partnered PAX up. One PAX would hang from pullups bars while the other held 6 inches merkins. Loser had to complete 5 burpees. Rotate.

Mosey back to benches.

Spur #2 – The M is the most important relationship –> Quiver of arrows to target the M in the Concentrica

Mosey to the 50 yard line on the band lot football field. Reminder that we do not stop at the 50.

Spur #3 – Accelerating the M requires skill and love –> 1) Maintenance = Deceleration, 2) Culture is a Jester, 3) No 50 yard line, 4) M is not your best friend, 5) Joy > Happiness.

Finished with some diamond merkins, flutters, protractor and freddie mercuries. Mosey back to COT.

MARY: A little

Discussion on Servants and Masters. All the “things” of this world are good Servants but bad Masters: money, food, popularity, aesthetics, power… So how do you keep them in their proper place? It’s Discipline (1st F), Council (2nd F), and Mission (3rd F). So you wonder why this thing of F3 works, but it’s a model for behavior that works on so many levels.
