Whetstone morning

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Undertaker led the warmup which consisted or merkins, windmill, mountain climbers, LBC
THE THANG: Since the theme was Whetstone we partnered up and did the exercises on an individual count. Partners are there to encourage and push.  Went to the Basketball court area between the schools.  See exercises below.  Halfway through each exercise run to the 2 light pole.  At the end of each exercise run the drop off circle in front of the school.

Exercises.

50 Merkins
50 WAM
50 Dips

50 CDD
75 Monkey Humpers
75 Squats

Moseyed back to COT and finished with flutters Hello Dolly and LBC.

COT: Prayers lifted for Long Duck recovery, those battling addiction and parenting.

Thanks Rebound for the opportunity to lead. If you don’t have a Whetstone relationship talk to those in a relationship to begin the process to finding a blade or stone. We all need someone in our life that can smooth out some of the valleys and potholes we can find ourselves in.

Rebel out!!!

3 lessons, lucky 7’s & Dora Jr.

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mosey to gym parking lot
All exercises were 10 D/C I/C with 5,4,3,2 & 1 burpee respectively in between sets

Windmills
Imperial walkers
Hillbilly walkers
Low slow squat – holding people’s chair on the last rep then did 10 MNC’s D/C I/C
Plank with stretches along with merkins and shoulder taps.

Side straddle hops x 30 D/C I/C

THE THANG: off to the west side of the high school for lesson 1

Lesson 1 – all leaders are readers
7’s between the light poles – squats and hand Release merkins

Mosey to the pull up bars with 5 burpees OYO half way there.

Lesson 2 – Habits compound daily. 1 penny that doubles for 30 days yields $5.37 MM. As we lay bricks, remember this.

7’s – pull ups and Diamond merkins running between the bars and the entrance. Group stayed together. No man left behind.

Mosey to small east side parking lot for lesson 3.

Lesson 3 – accelerate with someone else. We can’t maintain discipline on our own like we can with others. In that spirit……

Partner Dora Jr. – 50 hand release merkins and 100 squats. Flutters upon completion and a mosey to COT.

MARY: no time
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes
COT: 5th core principle

Group Therapy

WARMUP: Ran to back parking lot of middle school for a quick set of exercises and some broga. Exercises included SSH, windmill, low slow squat, Maracan night clubs, toy soldiers and butt kickers.

THE THANG:
Bonsai portion of the Q:
Nur to rock bed down by light post to grab a rock for the following.
20 INC overhead chest press
15 INC chest press on your six
15 INC lat raises
15 INC curls

Sir Top Hat portion:
Moved back up to half wall behind elementary for 8’s. It’s been a while since he has been to a workout so he forgot we could only count to 7.
Burpee and muscle ups on wall

STH had a few extra minutes left because all the men were such studs and cruised right through the workout without a problem.
Wall sits with 15 heel raises mixed in for two cycles.

Weezer’s portion:
Mini Dora
75 merkins
100 squats – most of us didn’t listen very well and did 125
125 LBCs.

Cyclops portion:
Back down to the light poles, Long Duck was expressing his displeasure about how we kept moving him around back and forth between locations.
Each light pole – 9 merkins, 12 squats. I think we got to 4 before time to head to COT. On the way back to COT, Cyclops thought we should do 5 more burpees, but Barkley, Rebound and YHC bat flipped and kept running. We wanted to make sure we made it in time.

MARY:
No time
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Blood drive, D2D fundraiser
COT:

Bricklayers convention

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 10x ssh, windmills, imp walks
THE THANG: there were 2 stations set up at opposite ends of the school, each with 6 assignments to complete, for example assignment 1 = 25 squats and 20 mike tysons, assignment 2 = 60 lbcs, etc.

Pax picked one station to complete assignment 1 and ran back to the middle to take a free throw. If they made it, they ran a lap around the track and proceeded to the other station to complete assignment 1 there, but if they missed, they did 10 derkens before doing their lap and going to the next station.

Pax alternated stations doing the next assignment each time with the free throw/lap/maybe derkens (probably derkens) after each assignment

Fun was had by all
MARY: nope
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yup
COT: prayers for career discernment and safety at our schools

YHC was not paying attention to the time and was called out on it so I Omaha what we were doing and headed to COT.

COT & ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Notably we held CSPAN style discussion around the circle on what are we struggling with. It’s important to note that as we went around with each Pax’s voicing their struggles we all related to every one of those aspects. Guys we are not alone and it’s much easier to go this journey through life is undoubtedly more manageable when we stand together rather than facing it in isolation.” I implore you to be more vulnerable in COT. Prayers and Praises.

Whetstone WOD

Leave a comment

Disclaimer: By participating in an F3 workout, you assume the risks inherent in doing so. I am not a professional. F3 makes no representations of any kind regarding your safety. Asked to share about whetstone and my experiences, here we go…

1. DORA: Rebel
– challenged me in areas I struggle: alcohol, devoting time to my M, getting my family to Church consistently
– Asks for progress updates every time we meet
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Reporting Progress
+ 200 merkins
+ 200 big boys
+ 200 squats
+ 200 LBC’s
– Bear crawl/power-skips

2. Partner run: Pusher AKA Big Question Eddie
– pushes me to think bigger; act better
– Always comes back when I ghost, some may be shocked to learn that F3 didn’t immediately stick with me!!
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Big Questions
+ Run to 160 and back, ask big questions of each other: who’s your whetstone? Who could be your stone/blade? What do you need in a whetstone relationship?

3. Partner transport: Long Duck
– full of stories and antidotes to frame your mind for the positive, I.e. attitude card
– Carried me in some of my struggles with alcohol and anger
– Pours himself into others to help them and himself
– Sets the example for how to be a better man

Carrying your man
+ partner carry, 2 laps
+ wheelbarrow, 1 lap
– repeat

4. Closing: Key takeaways
– find what you need in a stone, plus seek to share wisdom with a blade (it makes you a better man)
– Be open with them, get vulnerable
– You can have more than one stone, learn lessons from all relationships
– Find someone that sets the example for how to be a better man
