Carry the Load

10 men carried heavy things on a sweaty Wednesday morning at the Sink. Here’s what we did:

Warm-up

  • 10 Low Slow Squats (IC)
  • 10 Imperial Walkers (IC)
  • Front Fold Stretch
  • Side Stretch

Mosey to flag pole

The Thang
The PAX brought a ruck, sandbag, and kettlebell each for a large loop carry then exercise routine. It looked like this:

Round 1

  • Carry your ruck, bell, and sandbag for 1 lap followed by
  • 30 Calf Raises, 30 KB Swings, and 30 Merkins

Round 2

  • Carry 2 items for 2 laps followed by
  • 20 Curls, 20 Flutters w/ a Press, and 20 Squats

Round 3

  • Carry 1 item for 3 laps followed by
  • 10 Burpees, 10 Sit-up to Press, and 10 Bench Press

NMM
We often ask God to lighten our load, but sometimes He strengthens us by teaching us how to carry it. That looks like showing up when you’re tired. It means investing in others even when you see little results. It means leading when recognition is absent. It means remaining faithful to your mission instead of being fixated on measurable success.

Keep going, especially when it’s tough. The process is shaping you into a stronger man.

It’s Wet. YES. Now, Do The Work

Whenever there's an FNG, I feel the responsibility to turn it up a notch and to ensure I adhere to the principles, cadence calling, and traits of what I love about F3. While it's not up to me to determine the intensity of this morning's workout as I'll let the PAX chime in, what I can control is the adherence to the principles, cadence calling and characteristics of what I love about F3…so long as I don't stray from the 5 Core Principles or the Credo.
Naturally, we reviewed those this morning prior to launching as we had an FNG in the gloom with us, welcome Small Things.

WARMUP: Mosey to the parking lot of FMRX and discover a nicely placed deck of cards. Oh look, what shall we do with these? The intent was to complete ~1/2 the deck utilizing some warm-up exercises and regular exercises and let this serve as our slightly-higher-than-normal-intensity warm-up.
Hearts: Merkins
Clubs: Flutters (count the rt side only)
Spades: Squats
Diamonds: Butt Kickers (count the rt side only)

THE THANG:
Mosey to the big lot on the right at the top of the Massey hill for a large evolution of 4 Corners with a center.
Start in the center of the lot and run to the corner, perform the exercise, run back to the center for 5 burpees, then out to the next corner and back to the center and so on. Complete 2 full rounds.
Corner 1: 15 Hand-Release Merkins
Corner 2: 15 Jump Squats
Corner 3: 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Corner 4: 15 American Hammers

Once everyone completed round 2, we then completed 1 additional round as a group but cut the reps in half.

Mosey to the steps at the Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene. The original plan had us running up and down the set of stairs but due to the rain, we lunge walked up the stairs, walked down and did that 3 times then went to the Church parking lot.
Here I looked at the wienke and realized I had about 7mins of material for the remaining 15mins of time in the hour. A reminder for all, plan a longer workout in case you finish an evolution faster than anticipated. So, what did we do? I preceded to make a few enemies and released the angry gremlin inside Super G.

Welcome back to the Mak Tar Jah followed by the Knee Tar Jah!

Now, mosey back to COT for what turned out to be the fastest naming of an FNG I've ever been apart of.
Welcome, Small Things.
MARY: Yes

Hair Metal 🎸 and Iron Bells 🔔

It was a wet morning in the fort but the dry humerus chatter kept us warm. A quick warmup and we were off.

Thang: 50 reps of an exercise and then run across the parking lot and nur back. We did this 10 times. It was glorious.

Mosey to the top of the hill and Switzer
You had to be there for the message.
Jog down to the bottom of the hill for instructions.
Sprint your tail off to the top, jog down, perform 10 merkins and do an exercise while you wait.
Repeat.
Follow instructions for sprint/job, walk instructions to the top.
To the field again.
20 V-Ups, 20 American Hammers

NMM: From Dark Helmet:
Here's what I will tell you, no one was a huge fan of the wounded dogs but the hill sprints on TCD Hill were the real crowd pleaser…total shutdown of mumblechatter and several bodily functions. We were also treated to a number of PAX sightings as we went. I recall Shady, Pauly D, Tesh and Spike making a pass through. They looked miserable. That's good training for BRR, which is at least 72% misery. The rest is a loose emulsion of running and fellowship.

MARY: Worked in throughout.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pints & Padres family cookout June 21 at 5:30pm at The Print Shop.
Step up and serve at The Bethel Men's Shelter.
COT: There are a lot of things going well, but there are a lot of challenges around The Fort. Don't wait for someone else to do it. Reach out to a man and share burdens. As has been said before: A burden shared is half the burden, a joy shared is twice the joy.
