3 lessons from Sugar Daddy

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Jog to the barber shop – various exercises in cadence – windmills, low slow squats, seal jacks, imperial and hillbilly walkers, plank and stretch – then PAX we’re off for a trip to the dumpsters

THE THANG: lesson 1 – work fast – treat movements with a sense of purpose and urgency. 7’s – merkins at the curb and squats at dumpster 1

Lesson 2 – change speeds – off to dumpster 2 – 7’s with burpees and merkins at ends of the parking lot. Be prepared as a leader to meet others at their pace when attempting to influence

Lesson 3 – throw strikes – mosey to Grace presby and do rounds of incline merkins, step ups OYO and dips at the benches and the curb. Then on the way to COT one more round of 7’s in motion – Diamond merkins and sumo squats. Our activities should be targeted at those priorities (concentrica) most important in our lives. Are they??

MARY: Geometry class – protractors, rosalitas and hello dollys. PAX kept feet off ground at all times……until 0600 anyway.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: of course
COT: remains the 5th core principle

Thanks for the call Slapshot

Don’t worry too much about tomorrow.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: laid the topic talking about kids and uncertain future
THE THANG: we talked about how much we should worry about uncertain future. We came with the conclusion that we need to have faith that God is in control and he will handle what is coming for us in the future. We need to worry about today and try to enjoy everything that we have today.

If you do it long enough, you’ll feel it

WARMUP: quick disclaimer when YHC identified no new pax, got a quick raise of hands on “new’ish” Pax that may not have Q’d a lot since this was Q school themed. Also a refresher for how Qs need to lead. Took off on a mosey down the hill to the school parking lot. Once we got there, did a few exercises in cadence, with the commands to be used for all Qs. One thing to remember is to give the commands with authority and ensure they are clear. If you screw up the words, that can always be improved, but with the right authority and simple instruction, that will at least make the men follow you. Last Call got to practice calling cadence for the group – he did just fine.

Back up the hill for a quick stop at the pull up bars. Lesson here was rinse and repeat can be your friend and standing in the middle facing the Pax is a good way to deliver instruction. We did 4 sets of 3 pull ups followed by 3 burpees. Everyone loved it.
THE THANG: We ran all the way to the band parking lot and we stopped along the way. Goal here was to stop and plank or big a tree to not lose the 6.

Once we got to the band parking lot, there were exercises, see picture, that had 2 pieces of paper on both sidelines. We started at the top and did 1 exercise, then ran to the other side where we started with that exercise. Then moved our way down the list to the next exercises.

We focused on cadence counting, OYO, single vs double count or exercises that are in cadence 4 count. When we got to shoulder presses / raise the roof, 50 was the number and we decided double count would work because raising the roof is easy…unless you do a lot. Of course the burn begins to take effect. Lesson here is stick to your Q plan and modify as the Q as needed, but don’t Q it if you can’t do it.
MARY: Ran back to COT where Rumbling and Marty called out a few exercises in cadence – they also did just fine.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: newsletter for sure
COT: completed with a round the horn CSPAN special

WARMUP:
20 SSH IC
10 LSS IC
10 HILLBILLY WALKERS IC
10 IMPERIAL WALKERS IC
10 MNCS IC
YOGA

THE THANG:
Mosey to the entrance of Pike Engineering for -2s of Derkins & Dips
Q3.10 Consistency – “The Consistent Leader is constant and regular in everything he does. His followers are drawn to him because his steadiness provides a safe harbor from the howling winds of Chaos and Flux that blow periodically through their own lives. He is their rock.”

Mosey to Print Shop for -1s of pull ups and knee ups.

Mosey to First Baptist Parking Lot
Plank it up – “Strong Routines are the framework of Consistency.” We in F3 know what to do. Wake up and exercise, everyday, We shouldn’t have to think about it, just do it. Remove unnecessary decisions, and create routines.
4 corners.
• First lap included 10 merkins at each cone
• Second lap included 20 squats at each cone
• Third lap included all of the reps – 10 merkins, 20 squats

A couple of teenagers stumbled upon us in the parking lot and joined in on the fun. We asked what they knew about F3 and appropriately answered “Yall are crazy.” A brief intro to F3 was given, and they were named Nastradamus and The Cobbler. Nastsradamus runs cross country and stayed with us to the next stop.

“The Virtuous Leader focuses on bandwidth not perfection.” Reminded the PAX that consistency will help minimize the flux in our life. This isn’t about perfection, but about limiting the lows in our life. The things that keep us away from a healthy lifestyle that enables us to lead.

Mosey to Massey Hill.
7s at the Massey Hill. CDDs and Peter Parkers.

MARY: Flutters to 0730hrs
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Lots – Beers for Beetus, Pints & Padres, Bourbon & BBQ, Christmas Party
