No talking = leadership opportunities…and a shovel flag handoff!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: started things up with very little voice and the voice lasted about 2 min before going out.

Got things going with SSH, low slow squat, merkins. I think that was about it because talking and calling cadence was not happening.

Mosey over to the front of the school for some additional warm up.

Ran over to the corner for some partner work.
THE THANG: Dora is game so we partnered up.

Shower curtain helped call out the exercise.
100 diamonds
200 lunges
300 flutters (4 count)

Partner 1 runs back to the front of school, partner 2 does exercises until back

We then ran over to all the benches by the R wing and did some 7s using the benches running back and forth between benches.

Exercises were dips and derkins.
MARY: some stretching, some core, and some burpees??
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jester was our Q source point today so this was covered throughout the workout thanks to JWOW, shower curtain, and Esso.

Also a big shovel flag transfer! Thanks to Cyclops and congrats to Warning Track!
COT: of course!

You can design a workout but you never know what chatter will commence. From the moment I stepped out of the truck, I knew today was going to be a good one.

We took turns giving The Pirate some unsolicited fatherly advice like, “Don’t worry, kids are surprisingly resilient. They bounce!” We also learned that no matter how old you get, fart jokes are funny.

Where else can adult men tell jokes and act like kids without judgment? It just proves that though we age, we never really mature. F3 is grown man recess, and I’m in for it.

To the 50….and beyond

Leave a comment

Nice morning for Acceleration at The Box. First day on site as Site Q and on the the Q as well. Middle and Upper Management present to ensure flag in ground and disclaimer read. Following Qsource, the topic today was “M”.

WARMUP:
Mosey, SSH x 26 (IC), Windmill x 10 (IC), stretched the calves, MNC x 15 (IC)

Spur #1 – Accelerating Fellowship requires Relational Rhythm –> Preparedness. Goal is not a static state of balance.

THE THANG:

Mosey to hill closest to Hwy 21
Down and up the hill x 3. Burpees at the top, Merkins at the Bottom. (15-10-5). Complete 20 reps each hill completion (i.e. 15 burpees/5 merkins, 10/10, 5 burpees/15 merkins).

Spur – You do not meet your M at the 50 yard line. This is not a balancing act, it may not be fair. You go beyond the 50 and to the endzone if need be.

To illustrate this, we did a 4th round down and up the hill even though the thought was we were doing 3 and recovering.

We then moseyed to the pull up bars for some AMRAP. We made it through 4 rounds of: 5 pullups – 10 merkins – 15 squats – 20 LBCs. Then partnered PAX up. One PAX would hang from pullups bars while the other held 6 inches merkins. Loser had to complete 5 burpees. Rotate.

Mosey back to benches.

Spur #2 – The M is the most important relationship –> Quiver of arrows to target the M in the Concentrica

Mosey to the 50 yard line on the band lot football field. Reminder that we do not stop at the 50.

Spur #3 – Accelerating the M requires skill and love –> 1) Maintenance = Deceleration, 2) Culture is a Jester, 3) No 50 yard line, 4) M is not your best friend, 5) Joy > Happiness.

Finished with some diamond merkins, flutters, protractor and freddie mercuries. Mosey back to COT.

MARY: A little
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Blood Drive, Hanging with Stang

Two Bags of Treasure

Leave a comment

Chilly morning at the Corral..Most stayed in their vehicles until a few minutes before wheels up. We had a FNG, one of his buddies had mentioned our group. FIrst name Greg, went to ECU (Home of the Pirates). We all thought about the character in Dodgeball movie, Greg the Pirate.
We got started with warm-ups in the parking lot (SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank, Peter Parkers, Parker Peters).
Next, we used the two sandbags. Two men carried the sandbags around the parking lot until the rest of the group ran around the parking lot and caught up with them. It was suppose to be a tempo run in the opposite direction, but it ended up being more like a catch me if you can. Remember – not a professional. We rotated until everyone carried a bag.
Next, we moseyed to the Pet grooming store, dropped the bags and ran to the oppose side of the parking lot. Two pax ran to the bags and did 5 reps of Manmakers (rd1+rd3), Squat Thrusters (rd2) while the other pax did various exercises. Flapjack – three rounds.
I did get a chuckle when Change Order said to the FNG, “Grab you ankles” as he describe how to do a Monkey Humper.
Few minutes left for some Mary.
Back to COT.
