Cones and Bball G-Fit

Leave a comment

First off- Cobains on the late delivery.  I had good intentions and then the new site switch- but alas!

11 PAX comprised of 3 adults and a terrific 8 kids (6 of which are from Paradise) attended this morning.  All of the kids got F3 shirts and i could see the change in them as they tanglibly became part of something.

For warmups- we did traditional exerices but ran end line to end line in between.  Next up, 5 cones were set out on the ball court- 1 in each corner and 1 in the center.  Pax had to complete an exercise, run to the middle, exerise, run out to new cone.  Next I found one of our water bottles following our water break.  I had each kid toss the bottle however far they wanted, we all run to it and he calls out an exercise.  Giving them ownership in this really keeps them engaged.  Q’s- get them involved.  They want to help, they want to be “the guy”.  We then split off into teams and played 3 on 3.  Newsflash- I didnt start in HS and have carried those poor skills into adulthood.

We had a great discussion on character and that #charactercounts.  The boys responded well.  I encourage any and all PAX to participate in G-fit.  You do not need to be on Q.  The more times the community sees your face the better!  T-Claps to Chickenhawk, Deacon and Bolt for their leadership and passion here.

Coliseum Shift Change

Leave a comment

18 Gladiators showed up to the #sweathole known as The Colloseum.  It had been rumored there would be changing of the guard.  Most folks were in the dark on who the new Q would be until we started.  Seacrest had the Q and in fairness, I should have let him have it, but chomping at the bit, I was ready to hit it hard and so were 17 of the toughest.

The  Thang:

  • Pearls on a String: mosey following the Q to random parts unknown.  Exercises spread across 3 pearls were SSH, IW, Merkins, Squats, and a decending amount of OYO Burpees
  • Triple Nickel: At the bottom of the hill: 5 squats, Top of the Hill: 5 squats.  Run circuit 5 times.
  • Fishsticks espezial: An awful exercise within an equally awful exercise.  Here we counted to 10 cadence on Ex1 and then to 5 on Ex2.  Rinse/repeat until the distance is covered.  #AskFishsticks  Favorite Choice here, men
    • Bearcrawl/Merkin.  After every ten bearcrawl movements, 5 merkins
    • Lunge/Squat: See Above
    • Backward Bearcrawl/CDD: See Above
    • Crabwalk/LBC: 10 LBCs here.
  • 6MOM: Flutter, Freddie, Rosy, Dolly, H2H, Superman
  • 10 burpee OYO

Naked Man Moleskin-

YHC kept pace with some rabbits today.  First time in a while not being mid PAX.  I credit #Q-drenaline.  DH, Seacrest, Tesh, and Nomad I think won the Royalty Race #King.  I comment on Tesh’s 6 pack , Guns and V-Shape everytime I see him.  Its uncomfortable.   Cornerstone lights my fire at every workout I attend with him.  His #wasnow story is darn good and his humilty is grounding. #FightEmmaFight.

Taking over this Ark of Roman fortitude and strength has me invigorated.  I looking forward to this being my regular Tuesday post and keeping the tradition going of tough #smokefests.  Going to keep the Qlist fluid with an array of leaders.  Make sure you have attended Q school and are fluent in dishing out pain.  A reminder that PAX will follow the Q until they have reason not to.  Unsafe doesnt fortify toughness.  Q’s for Colloseum (and all AOs) need to be prepared to engage #kings and #rabbits as well as mid Pax and #6fortheday Pax.  Using 10 counts, plankoramas or having #kings and #rabbits do extra reps at end are good techniques then move forward to the next as a group.  #shieldlock No man left behind.

Read your newsletter.  CAH Friday, Some sort of Mastodon absurdity and F3 Dads all happening.  Prayers for Emma for her next Chemo treatment, Last Call’s Coworker that was killed in an apartment fire and her family, and Nomad’s leadership and relationships with the youth of the church retreat/camp.
