Sergeant Major

Leave a comment

Started off the Pre-Veterans day workout with some standard warmup exercises:

11 SSH IC
11 Windmills (steady pace)
11 SJ IC
11 MNC (IC)
11 Merkins (IC)
Stretch
11 Mnt Climbers (IC)

Mosey to Mavis Brakes (this was a nice long mosey across Gold Hill)

Planked up and waited for the 6.

In Plank I talked about the next portion of the workout. Something I like to call the “Sergeant Major”

In short, the rep counts reflect the different units my Dad (a Sgt. Major) served in during his lifetime.

The workout for today laid out like this…

28 Burpees
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
3 Laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

28 Burpees
56 LBC’s
112 HR Merkins
3 more laps around the parking lot of the school nearby

Whenever you finished you went and picked up the 6.

After this we mosey’d back to COT with a few minutes to spare

Led a round of Mary..

22 Flutters IC
22 HD IC
22 FM IC

Pusher quickly picked up on why the rep count for this last portion of the exercise. The point was made that our gratitude for our veterans should be equaled by our concern for their mental health and a desire to help them in any way we can.

COT was another great example of why we all joined F3 and still come back. What was said, stays there but it was a lot of what I needed to hear that day.

Men I’m extremely thankful for the service and sacrifices of our veterans (my Father and Brother in law among others…)

Hope the example of service and sacrifice continues to inspire and push us all to be better leaders in our communities and lives.

Take care,

WARMUP: Mosey around front/bus loop, stopping periodically for some exercises: Side Straddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccan Night Clubs, Windmills.

THE THANG: PAX partnered up & we attacked some exercises, DORA-style, with increasing rep requirements. PAX1 did exercises while PAX2 did some method of transport, then flapjack until the rep count was hit & move on to the next.

1. 50 Burpees / Run across parking lot (to the far marching band endzone) & back
2. 100 Dry Docks / Lunges (think to the 50yd line) & back
3. 150 Merkins / Run across & back
4. 200 Squats / Bear Crawl (think to the 30yd line, maybe it was the 50 again) & back
5. 250 LBC’s / Run across & back
6. 300 Calf Raises (equal doses of toes in/out/straight) / Broad Jump to the 50yd line & back

We got done around 05:53:23. With time left for dessert, we enjoyed a 6min AMRAP of 20x Mtn Climbers > 10x Diamond Merks > 20x Flutters > 10x Box Cutters

Made our way back to COT.

Quick disclaimer and warmup and we were off.
We took two steps forward and one step back, because opposites attract, or something like that.
Bear Crawl two parking spots and do a Merkin, then Crawl Bear one back. We did a few sets of this including lunges and broad jumps.
Next up was a Dora – 100 push-ups, 200 Squats, 300 LBCs. Mode of transportation was a lap around the parking lot.
Back to COT for prayers and praises.

Bodily functions are real

WARMUP: started with a mosey around the parking lot. Stopped for some SSH, merkins, squats, mountain climbers, and a little back and hip stretching. Made our way over to grab some cindy’s.
THE THANG: Once we had our new toys, we went to the hill for 11s. Shoulder presses at the top with cindy and bottom of the hill hand release merkins. Pax that finished early did chest presses or picked up Pax and finished with them.

Next we took our cindy friend to the pull up bars for work. 7s was the game with 1 pull-up and 6 man makers…down to 6 pull ups and 1 man maker.
MARY: made our way to COT for Mary on steroids…1 hammer, 4 flutters; 2 hammers, 8 flutters…made our way to 5 hammers and 20 flutters before the crying started. Then it was 3 burpees and round the horn ab callouts.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: lots in the newsletter
COT: patience, schools, families in general.

I just returned from a trip to England with our GrowRuck team. I learned that regardless of our accents, we are one PAX with the same mission in mind. I had a wife tell me F3 broke her husband (Hoops). It broke him and rebuilt him into the father she always desired for her children and the husband she married years ago. You see, F3 is more than a fitness group – it is a way to unlock a man’s hidden potential to love and lead well. I am so blessed to be surrounded by men like Hoops. He was just like so many of us – lost without know it. Let his story inspire you to find your “why” and rekindle your desire to be an asset wherever you are.
