Leave a comment
Welcome to the F3 Mental Battle WOD of 2026!
This year our guest QIC (Q In Charge) is none other than HIM Bartman from F3 Junction (north of Sacramento, CA).
–
The  Workout of the Day (WOD) is designed to remember a fallen friend of F3 Lexington, KY’s F3 Miyagi.  While March 25 is the date we commemorate, you are free to lead this workout any time in the month of March or even beyond.
–
If you have any question about the F3 Mental Battle or the WOD, reach out to Drop Thrill on the Nation’s Slack channel or on Instagram/Facebook/X at @f3mentalbattle.

Without further ado, let’s get to the WOD!

No Oyo!

Five Core Principles

Warm-o-rama: (can vary based on the Q)

The Thang, Part 1 – SEMI (can be done as a Seven of Diamonds or Four Corners)
–Squirrel Splats (Merkin w/ Plank Jack as a 4-count) – 7
–Earl Fondas (A combination of the Sleeping Hillbilly and a Jane Fonda. You perform the exercise on a 4 count. First count is the upward motion of the Jane Fonda, second count is the downward motion, but you suspend your leg without touching the ground. The third count is bringing your leg up towards your chest and fourth count is extending the leg. Your leg will not touch the ground until the desired amount of reps are completed) – 14
–Mexican Jumping Bean Squats (Perform a full squat, then a hop or jump.) – 21
–Imperial Walkers – 28 (we did 2:1 to 14 for these)

The Thang, Part 2 – COLON (done Dora-style)
–Carolina Dry Docks x125
–Outlaws x 100 (Sitting in the position for flutter kicks, keep your feet together and make a big “O” with them.)
–Low Country Crabs x75 (From the crab position (hands and feet, face up, back and bum off the ground), in cadence right hand up to touch left foot up, left hand up to touch right foot up.)
-One-Legged Burpees x50
–No Surrenders x25(Begin the no-surrender in the standing position with your hands locked behind your head and elbows pointing outward.4 count: 1.Go down on left knee, then 2. down on the right knee so now you’re on both knees. 3.Then stand back up on left leg then 4. up with the right leg. After half the desired reps, switch the starting leg so that you don’t favor one side.)

Mary: (can vary based on the Q)

COT: In writing, a semicolon is used when an author could have ended a sentence but chose to continue it instead. The mental health movement adopted this as a powerful metaphor.  The semicolon represents a moment when someone could have ended their story but chose to keep going.

Thus the semicolon can be used as a message of affirmation & solidarity w/ those who have dealt w/ suicide, depression, addiction, & other mental health issues.

If you are struggling, know that you are not alone; help is available. Reach out to someone. To reach the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline, call or text 988.

 

  • We encourage you to leave some time at the end of the workout or during COT to open up the group to discussions about mental health, suicide or any struggles the men or someone they know might have or are going through.
  • Thanks again to Bartman for this year’s WOD!

Leadership is not a title, rank, or job description – it is a decision. People spend their entire careers trying to have a seat at the “leadership” table. It’s not a position to hold but a decision to put other people first. Thank you men for being the leaders our community needs.

Aye!
