Sandbag Sack Race – Now With Bonus Card Gambling!

Leave a comment

It was supposed to be a straightforward sandbag game. It turned into a full-on comedy roast with heavy objects and bad ideas involving bear crawls. The sandbag passing was clunky as advertised, but the teamwork, mumblechatter, and nonstop laughter more than made up for it.
We got after it, we picked up the six, and we had a ridiculous amount of fun doing it. That’s F3 in a nutshell — leave no man behind, but make sure he’s suffering and smiling while he gets better.
Thanks for showing up and playing along, men. Great effort across the board.
Aye!

WARMUP: SSH, IW, Merkins

THE THANG: Sandbag Sack Race
Two teams lined up shoulder-to-shoulder like we were auditioning for the world’s sweatiest relay. One sandbag per team. The rule was simple on paper: pass that heavy bastard down the line and back, then the whole team sprints together to your home side, knocks out a pile of reps as a unit, and hauls ass back for round two.
No man left behind. Lots of grunting, questionable passing technique, and colorful suggestions about where the sandbag could go next. It was equal parts teamwork drill and comedy show. Clunky? A little. Effective smoke session? Hell yes.
After we’d had enough of playing hot potato with the sandbag, we moseyed back toward COT… for the
Card Game Beatdown – “Move & MOT”
We broke out four mystery cards in the small parking lot: two “Move” and two “MOT” (Mode of Transport). Each card had a 1 on top and a 2 on the bottom, hiding two exercises or two ways to crawl/run/crab your way across the islands.
PAX picked a number for MOT and a number for Move. Then it was:
• Knock out the exercise
• Traverse the parking lot island-to-island using the chosen mode of transport
• Repeat the exercise on the way back
Examples included merkins + bear crawls, burpees + lunges, squats + karaoke, and plenty of other combinations that made grown men question their life choices while giggling like idiots. Foul language flowed freely. Laughs were abundant. Someone definitely called the bear crawl “the worst decision since my last marriage.”
We capped it off with a victory lap around the lot, then headed back to COT.

MARY:
A solid bit of core work to finish (Flutter Kicks, Freddy Mercurys) while still trading jokes about the morning’s chaos.

Heavy Laps

Leave a comment

6 men showed up at the new Block Party location, WEP.
We started with a job around the park, stopped at every swing for an exercise. Next, we emptied the back of my car filled with sandbags and other heavy objects. We carried the heavy objects to each swing. Dropped the bags, ran to the next swing and back, Rinse and repeat until back at the theater.
We had enough time to go around half the park with exercises ( merkins, squats, LBCs) at each swing, ran back to the start.

Rucking to find the million dollar bridge

Leave a comment

WARMUP: put rucks on, grab one sandbag to share while exploring a route to the spring trails trying to find the million dollar bridge
THE THANG: leave NAFO parking lot, go up the the traffic light and cross the street to hit the service road in front of the small strawberry field, the idea was to get into archer loop and go towards the barn but couldn’t find a clear path, walked next to road until we got to adventure rd.
Left on mill pond, all the way down to the new “half a million bridge” crossed the bridge and took a right on blue star until we hit the other “half a million bridge”, went across and went up the gravel service road all the way to the barn, left on parking lot and into archer loop, followed until we were close enough to the small strawberry field and went across the woods to hit a service rd, and then back to NAFO. This is what I wanted to do to begin whit at the beginning to avoid walking almost a mile next to Springfield pkwy.
Not happy with 4.5 miles, pax suggested to keep going and looped around the elementary school and back to COT.

MARY: take rucks off
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Manion, Bethel
COT: stays in COT

Ruby Slippers:

5 stations based on 5 core principles of F3. All
stations are AMRAP for 3ish minutes. Need a leader to
step up at each station to get the PAX organized and
ready to work. At the stations where Burpees IC are
called need different HIMs to lead their team by
performing the burpees with a 6-count cadence.

Station #1 – Core Principle: Free of Charge
Remember, you GET TO! Now get to it, tighten your
core, and don’t quit!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – LBCs
25 – Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg only )
20 – American Hammers ( count 1 side only )
15 – BigBoySit-ups
10 – V-Ups
Repeat

Station #2 – Core Principle: Open to all men
AMRAP – Team Work
It is in your hands to make a better world for all who
live in it. Give away what was freely given to you!
Now go EH somebody!!!
Routine:
Half of your team holds plank
Other half of your team completes 15 – Hand Released
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole team performs 10 burpees IC
Repeat

Station #3 – Core Principle: Held outdoors, rain or
shine.
When spending time in nature, one receives far more
than he seeks! So, stop complaining about the
weather and be thankful for the beat down you are
about to receive!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – Squats
25 – Monkey Humpers
20 – Jump Lunges
15 – Pollo Onos ( count 1 leg )
10 – Bobby Hurley’s

Station #4 – Core Principle: Peer led in a rotating
fashion
Leaders become great because of their ability to
empower others. You are not out here for yourself.
You are out here to serve the man to your left and the
man to your right!
AMRAP – Team Work
Place cone approx. 25 yards from the station
Must start from the station as a team at the beginning
of each iteration.
Sprint to cone, Bear Crawl back to the station
Crawl Bear to cone, NUR back to the station
Broad Jump to cone, Mosey back to the station
Repeat

Station #5 – Core Principle: Ends with a Circle of
Trust – COT
Sharing joy multiplies it, sharing a burden lightens it!
Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your heart, you have
brothers that need to hear it!
AMRAP – OYO
Half of the group holds 6 inches from the Merkin
position
Other half of the group completes 10 Diamond
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole group completes 10 Burpees IC
Repeat

Ruby won. Great morning all around.
