Riding Dirty at Stockade

Leave a comment

YHC was humbled by the opportunity to Q at the Stockade. This week I have been revisiting old BBs from Rock Hill in anticipation of my Q there this weekend. I stumbled on to the 1 year anniversary Q by Dredd and OBT which included (4) Dirty McDeuce by OBT along with some vulnerability about his recent deceleration of his fitness.

Kettlebells: The Great American Pastime

Leave a comment

WARMUP: mountain climbers, overhead claps, merkins, CDDs
THE THANG: Mozy to the adjacent parking lot where bases and cones were setup to form a baseball field. (Happy Hour’s and my son play on the same baseball team). Each base in baseball has a number associated with it. In order from 1-9, those are pitcher, catcher, first, second, third, shortstop, left field, center, and right field.
Starting at pitcher we did one rep then moved to catcher for two reps, first base for three reps and on and on until we got to left field for nine reps. One full round of the bases is 45 reps. Transportation of kettlebells alternated between farmers carry and overhead carry.
We started with goblet squats then moved on to kettlebell swings. We then got a 6/4/3 double play of flutters with a press. After the double play we resumed our base walking with clean & presses, then the next round was upright rows. For thoroughness, these two rounds we did left handed and right handed.
After the clean/press the Pax called for a 7th inning “stretch” so we did a few honeymooners and downward dogs before resuming. A brief rendition of “Take me out to the ballgame” was heard but thankfully didn’t last long.
Next round was curls and with limited time remaining, we did 20 tricep extensions with everyone at a base of their choice. When it was all totaled up, we were just short of 350 reps.
Not sure if everyone had fun, but everyone now knows that right field is #9!
MARY: skipped it

Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.

Chasing Pots of Gold-en Corral

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief but we managed a few Moroccan Night Clubs, Shoulder Taps, Boxcuttahs
THE THANG: Mozy to the church where there was a cone in each parking lane. Pax ran the length of one lane and back the other in a U shape to complete the exercise at the cone. We ran back and forth like we were following the rainbow looking for gold. I know it’s a stretch, but it is almost St. Patty’s Day. Pax completed 100 reps at the first cone, 90 at the second with each trip decreasing by 10 reps. From 100 down, exercises were SSH, LBCs, Squats, Mountain Climbers, Plank Jacks, Dips, CDDs, American Hammers, Merkins, Burpees.
Pax then faces each other in the plank position for 4 plank jacks, 4 mountain climbers, 4 shoulder taps, 4 Superman’s. Once completed, we repeated it at 8, 16 and 32 reps.
Mozy through COT to drop off the cones then stopped at the side of HT for wall sits and burpees.
MARY: No Mary, or Patty either
