WARMUP: Quick Mosey around HT parking lot to pick up Cubbie who came in hot
THE THANG:
Mosey to the bottom of Grant Farm Drive by the fountain.
11s called where PAX will do 1 squat at the bottom and 10 BBSU at the top entrance to the fire station. There was some confusion as to which side was which as the Q’s instructions may not have been consistent, but we got through it.
Walking 10 count and off to the traffic circle on Stockbridge Dr. The PAX formed a tight circle and did a bearcrawl of pain. 1 PAX bear crawled around the ring while everyone did AMRAP on an exercise that was NOT called by the bear crawler (so you can’t stick anyone with burpees).
Two rounds of that and there was just enough time to trot back to CoT for
MARY:

Circle of trust was established. What’s on the hearts of the PAX? A prayer for the leadership we attain through F3.

The Kickoff of the Funhouse Farewell Tour

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
I am certain we warmed up.

THE THANG:
It occurred to me as I sat to write this, that I have no idea (since it was a MONTH ago) what all we did that morning. I usually have a plan written out ahead that I either commit to memory, or will even shove a printout in my pocket to reference just in case. I didn’t do that this time. I know that I tried to call a few of the favorites of <@UGNDJBDU3> in his honor. I know we hit The Zipper and we definitely performed the Gonorrhea Burpee (because it has The Clap), but that’s all I really recall…

Now, the only person likely to read this is <@UGU3XR5RP>, but I just got painfully convicted about not writing Backblasts in a timely nor efficient manner. As I was looking back to see if I could find this weinke, I discovered that I have the BB from both my FNG post (administered by <@UN6U5PXNJ> and <@U08GGTLHL>) and from my VQ at The Armory.

<@U07QXBKKF5F> joined us as an FNG that morning. As it turns out, this came at a critical time in his life… and is hopefully blessing it. But, I failed him as a Q. He now does not have the enjoyment or blessing of being able to go back and read the report from his first post and reflect on that in the same way that I do. The first day I posted, I was sure I was going to die when Pusher said, “And now for the second half, I’ll hand this off to Jekyll”. I didn’t understand how the toughest workout I had ever done to that point in my adult life could have a SECOND HALF.

That’s a cherished memory. So, for Road Rash and every man after him, I commit to writing BackBlasts, making them interesting and timely, and hyping the reading of them after the fact. I also will attempt to persuade other men to do the same.

MARY: No chicks.

Pull thru day

Leave a comment

Started with some basic warm-ups then grabbed bags and headed over to baseball field. 2 cone workout. Cone 1 exercises: 10 over the shoulders, 20 pull thru, 10 clean and squats, 20 LBCs w/bag overhead, 10 walk over merkins. Cone 2 exercises: 10 curls, 20 pull thru, 10 diaper changers, 20 bent over rows, 10 squats w/bag. Did all exercises at cone 1 then bear hug carry bag to other cone. Do everything at cone 2 then bear crawl and drag bag back to 1. Do cone 1 again over head carry to c2. Do c2 then front rack carry back to 1.
Split up into 2 teams. Each team gets in plank and has to pass thru 2 sandbags. When you’re done run to end of line in order to move across entire field. Repeat in opposite direction. Next relay is one bag per team. Guy in back has bag and runs serpentine thru tram to front. Then pass bag from front to back. If bag drops whole team does 5 burpees. Next relay is in seated position and team is flipping bag from one end to the other. When done PAX runs to end to keep line going. Last relay was football snap the bag between the legs to next PAX. Run and repeat. Always fun to have some team competition and seeing guys try to figure out how to accomplish things together. Times up, back to COT. Thx for opportunity Farmers!
