1 Shovelflag, 2 Qs, Triple-check, and Lots of Rocks

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Jekyll started out. Standard fare for warm up before starting a mosey.

THE THANG:
Mosey down to lowest point in Kingsley area. Pax instructed to “chose wisely” from the pile of quarry rocks.

Together, pax did 3 rounds of 3-sets of exercises:
– Curls
– Overhead presses
– Tricep extension

Q stick handed over to OldBay where we moseyed up to shopping center stairs (near the hotel) to find instructions for “Triple Check”

Pax form groups of 3. From each group, 1 pax does a wall sit, one an exercise (listed below), and one runs around the shopping center building (including up the stairs). Once all pax in the group had done all positions, moved on to the next exercise. The exercises were as follows:

1. Merkins
2. Heels to heaven
3. Seal jacks
4. Box Cutters

Times up! Head back to COT.

COT:
Shovel flag hand-off from Jekyll (co-founder of Dawn Patrol) to YHC. Big shoes to fill, and honored to have the opportunity to lead at this amazing AO.

Courage is alive at Dawn Patrol

Leave a comment

Let me start by saying the weather is fantastic right now. Honestly, it perfect F3 weather. Warm enough to build up a sweat but lightly chilly enough to not sweat too much.

Nonetheless, YHC was honored to Q the DP. It was the second day of Q duties for me so there was a rinse and repeat option but I decided to leverage the area around WEP and do something a little different than yesterday.

WARMUP:
Cherry Pickers x 10
SSH x 30
Merkins x 10
Stretch
Windmills x 10

Mosey up the hill towards Sweet Baby Jesus stopping at the first stop light

10 Merkins
10 Squats
10 Monkey

Notice this will be a recurring theme and henceforth be known as the Accumulator portion.

Mosey SBJ as mentioned

3 sets of Accumulator with trips up/down the stairs in between

Brief interlude on the 5 Cs of Leadership Virtues with a focus on Courage

Partner Dora
100 Big Boys
200 Lunges
200 (due to time) LBCs

Mosey back to stop sign for accumulator

Mosey back to WEP

6 minutes of Mary including a V Cadence by Spike

Add another Accumulator
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Read the newsletter; Be involved

COT:

All Pax shared examples of their courage. Interestingly enough, many included opportunities given in F3 which I found interesting and exciting. We are a leadership group, exhorting men to grow as leaders. That requires courage to dismiss fear and other worldly things. Let us not forget this.

Prayers for:
– KJ
– Davis new job opportunity
– Untangling our identity from work
– Grace to demonstrate courage when everyone else is fearful

We then ran over to the hill in the park and did varying modes of transportation up the hill – bear crawls 2, 50% run 2, 100% run 2. Mosey back to parking lot and do a few laps of Indian runs.

Alcatraz OG’s

Leave a comment

Warmup with a short mosey, windmills, imperial walkers, merkins, plank stretches, and then off to the hill.

Modified Dora: using the top half of the hill.

  • Half the group does big boy sit-ups, half the group runs a lap. Flip flop.
  • Round 2:  Flutters for two laps.  Flip flop.
  • Round 3: LBC’s for three laps.  Flip flop.

A few rounds of step ups on the backstop benches, with a set of dips and a set of decline merkins.

Over to the wall where we had the opportunity to sit against the wall while taking turns critiquing both technique and form during individual bear crawls.

Q swap, and Jekyll took us straight to the Wheel-o-pain.  Credit and respect to Funhouse!
Everyone completed at least two full rounds of the wheel performing exercises at each spoke, lunge or bear crawls to the hub,  for 5 burpees and mosey tot he next spoke.  #brutal.

Thanks @Masterpiece for the opportunity to lead.

Praise for all of our blessings, including this community of men. Prayers for marriages, those sick, injured, or struggling, and those supporting them.

Switcheroo at Block Party

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Quick lap of the parking lot then windmills, squats, light stretching
THE THANG: As the newly appointed (and very temporary Site Q) we did a mozy out of the parking lot and hung multiple rights to get to the parking lot behind Hobos for some four corners.
Pax to complete all exercises at each corner then do a full lap around the parking lot before getting to the next corner. Corners broken out as:
– Upper body (20 reps each) Merkins, CDDs, Dips, Shoulder taps
– Lower body (20 reps) Calf raises, Bomb jacks, Squats, Monkey humpers
– Abs (20 reps) Big boy sit-ups, American hammers, Flutter circles, Box cutters
– Full body (20 reps) Burpees, SSH, Mike Tyson’s, Single-leg merkins

Mozy to the parking lot across from what used to be the Hardee’s. (Kimbrell’s) Pax planked up for 4 plank-jacks, Mountain climbers, Shoulder taps, Superman’s. Rinse and repeat for reps at 4, 8, 16, 32.

Since we were in downtown Fort Mill, we did a quick history lesson on why the town has its name. (We are located half way between a British fort built to protect the Catawba Indians and Webb’s Mill). In honor of the town’s founding in 1873, we did 18 Merkins then ran down to the bottom of Main Street for 73 SSH.

We had about 5 minutes left at that point, so we did a mozy back to COT.
MARY: About 2 minutes worth
