Whetstone WOD

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

Check out off the tracks brewing in rock hill. Also, I have to take a Clemson. Lastly, Stroud or Young?

WARMUP: one side straddle hop
THE THANG: one dude runs down a hill and does 3 man makers with kettle bell whilst rest of pax does merkins and other exercises with random counts. Oh, we also made weird grunting noises at the bottom part of squats for no apparent reason.
MARY: there’s just something about her. Maybe she used to be Mark?
ANNOUNCEMENTS: can’t remember, but Will does do pints for padres once per month at the print shop! Ask him for details.
COT: Our country is divided, prayers for inclusiveness for all of Gods children. Practice grace. Love your wives and children deeply and unconditionally. Have a great day!
