The Safe Sink

Leave a comment

WARMUP: A little of this, a little of that…

THE THANG:
We took our rucks and sandbags and traveled to the top of gentle slope of the entrance to the school in the hopes of finding a less icy spot. We were disappointed. It was slick most everywhere. Kind of like the top of <@USBP08L1G>‘s (not present) head.

After letting men know that it was ok to feel their feelings, no matter how big they were (TWSS), we all cuddled for a few minutes and affirmed one another’s masculinity. We decided we were both good enough AND smart enough, and we think that people like us.

Then it was basically taking turns releasing our trauma and making space for each other. We even all took turns going to the crying room that Farmers had installed. It was very affirming.

From there we did 3 very thoughtful and mindful rounds of 7s with our rucks on and with our sandbags.

It was a round of manmakers and squats, one of curls and bag ups, and one of merkins and flutters with a press.

Peta reached a whole new level and had a real breakthrough in accessing his inner child.

MARY: We decided it best to just have men present for this session.

Little bit of rain and jacked up jack webbs

Leave a comment

WARMUP: collected in the parking lot, very quick disclaimer and off we went. Ran a nice big lap around the baseball fields, settled in for some SSH, windmills, low slow squats, and then we went into a Jack Webb. Senator wanted to go faster in the Jack Webbs but Uber started to get air.
THE THANG: Ran over to hole #2 where we did 3 exercises.
1. 10 diamonds at the tee box
2. 10 jump squats at the valley
3. 10 4-count flutters at the green

Then rinse and repeat in reverse starting at the green with the diamonds and back to the tee box. We did this 3 times and running back to the tee box was horrible and very hilly and it’s as terrible as I remember it.

We ran back to the Runde parking lot for some 4 corners.
1. 20 CDD
2. 10 hammer sprinter combos (hammer left/right, into left/right crunch)
3. 20 merkins with (Parker Peter into Peter Parker – so 4 merkins for each Peter movement)
4. See #2 again

Rinse and repeat 2x more times but cut the numbers in 1/2 because some of this looked better on paper.
MARY: Airborne special along with some Superman.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: D2D awareness
COT: of course!

MARY:
Mosey back to COT for a bit of Mary. Maybe…or maybe we were at time.

YHC is always learning at these workouts. Today, I learned that none of the pax had any idea of the name of the closes galaxy outside of our own Milky Way. I also learned that you can’t talk about a manhole cover in a group of all men without there being some confusion on what is meant by that.

Great work by all men. So thankful to be a part of this F3 thing.
