Being Grateful…. And Burpees

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Haha no warmup. We ran .25 miles.
THE THANG: We ran in .25 increments from the Ranch shovel flag across Springfield Parkway and and continued running on the Carolina Orchards sidewalk.

Every .25 we did the following exercises:

Burpees
Squats
HR Merkins
4-CT Flutters.

Reps increased by 5 every stop. So at the 1 mile mark we did 20 of each exercise.

On the way back we decreased the reps back down to 5.

With 7 minutes left I did a 5 minute EMOM with 5 Burpees 5 Squats and 5 HR Merkins so we got to 100 (actually 105) reps of each exercise.

We were all able to get back to COT by 6:00.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Murph this Monday. Sasquatch will bring bands to help PAX as needed with the pull-ups.

COT:Prayers for health..mental and physical. Prayers for the country.

Tengo at The Ballroom

Leave a comment

It was a thick humid morning in The Fort, but eleven HIM decided to get out of the fart sack and take their daily dose of the red pill and accelerate. FNG Red Card posted so the disclaimer was thorough and so was the pain!
Warmup:
20 Side Strattle Hops
10 Windmills
10 Tappy Taps
10 Merkins
Down/Up Dogs 🐕
LBCs

Mosey/Toy Soliders/Kareoke over to the bridge of pain for a Tengo with Dora.
Partner 1: Run across the bridge to the locker room and back.
Partner 2: 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 Flutters

Next lunge over to the bleachers for some bleacher work. I took a deep dive into the archives of the exicon for this next exercise called the Aiken Legs. Was it named after Clay Aiken or Aiken SC? That is the deep mystery of the exicon (from the exicons lips to God’s year).

Aiken Legs:
20 Squats
20 Step Ups
20 Clave Raises

Aiken Chest:
20 Merkins
20 Derkins
20 Incline Merkins

Aiken Abs:
20 V-Ups
20 Crunches
20 Lowe Back Raises

Moseyed back to COT for prayer ans praises.

WARMUP: we did some COP and jogging back and forth
THE THANG: AMRAP with partner and chalk it was accountability and inspiring
MARY: N/A
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter
COT: perspective!!
Are you attacking the day or dreading the day?
Are you moving forward or looking back?
Abram…aka Abraham settling in bethel was halfway from AI (dump) and God’s eventual permanent place for him
We are halfway from our past and our permanent and eternal destination….are you looking forward?? Are you ready??
Get your mind and spirit right!

8 From there he moved to the hill country on the east of Bethel and pitched his tent, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. And there he built an altar to the Lord and called upon the name of the Lord.

The Revenge of Dr. Kraken & Jack Webb

Leave a comment

The weather was warm which made it prime conditions for Broga; the only thing missing were goats. We kicked off the workout with @sasquatch doing 15 minutes of Broga stuff (Just bros being broga-y). We moseyed over to the carline circle for some crazy 8’s. The two exercises were Kraken Burpees (real crown pleaser) & Squats. We started with 7 Krakens on one side of the roundabout and 1 squat on the other side. Next 6 Krakens & 2 Squats and so on and so forth.

After the pain was realized we moved on to a Bear Crawls/Carolina Dry Doc Jack Webb. It was four Bear Crawls and 1 CDD. If you want to bottle up pain try this exercise.

We had a few minutes left so we did a modified Dora. It was 25 Merkins, 50 Squats, & 75 Clave Raises.

Back to COT for Prayers and praises.

Bootcamp Q-School

Leave a comment

PAX ran around for some pearls on a string. At each stop, YHC worked to espouse some of my ideas on Qing. At the last stop prior to COT, other PAX took opportunity to count in cadence

Topics I tried to cover:
Counting the number present while calling SSH
Calling exercises in cadence – slower can be better
Keeping the PAX together – planking up
Modifying the Weinke based on numbers
Making mistakes as Q and moving forward
Having 11s in your back pocket
Be willing to leave something and mosey on
The mission of F3 involves building leaders. Do it. Build the leadership in yourself and in the other me that post with you.

Closed COT without a prayer, but took a moment to focus on someone in your life that needs an extra effort or word from you today. Challenged PAX to contact that person after they’d showered this morning.

10 of us also stuck around for 5 min to do 50 burpees with Badlands, who now has a new process to help him remember his shovel flag. 🙂

What idiot called this?

Leave a comment

PAX showed up expecting for Shady to be on Q (which explains the large numbers). They had to settle for me, but I’m just happy to be Shady’s understudy. Hope he gets back to 100% soon

WARMUP:
SSH, IW, HW, Shoulder Taps, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Merkin

THE THANG:
Extra weight. PAX had rucks, sandbags, and bells galore in honor of Gear MAYhem

3 groups
1 took a lap and did swings for the 6
2 groups carried weight the length of the parking lot, did 10 merkins, 15 squats, and came back.

Then we rotated. After everyone got to run we add weight

Between each set of 3 rounds:
(With no extra weight on)
5 manmakers
5 cleans (each side)
5 overhead presses (each side)

We got through 3 sets of 3 rounds

At one point during set 3, I causally and in a very neutral tone mentioned that my grip was shot. Vuvuzela pointed out that he’d never heard anybody gripe about their own Q so much. Maybe I mentioned something earlier too?

MARY: Uhaul Q-jacked for Mary a little early by my clock, but he doesn’t like manmakers.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: read the newsletter, lots of community impact going on!

COT: doing one thing really well is better than 5 things done halfway. Bear reminded us today that form matters. Do a good squat.

Block Party at Block Party with Blocks

Leave a comment

BLOCK PARTY Q – 03May2022
• Warm Up in the lot a minute or two with windmills, merkins, some stretching…
• Grab a partner and a block
• AMRAP – shooting for 4 or more
• 5 stops:
1. Parking lot Startex
2. Lot next to Hobo’s/Gazebo
3. Lot by Blue Ridge Financial Planning/MacAulay and Assoc
4. Lot just before corner at FM Dentistry
5. Lot after Bank

Round 1 – No Brick – at each stop:
– 15 burpees (each partner must do them all)
Round 2 – Take Brick – at each stop (each partner must do them all):
– 20 curls
– 20 Shoulder Press
– 20 Flutter with Press (double count – count the presses)

NMM:
– Olaf made coffee. At the AO. Plugged into a light pole. No one was surprised.
– Everyone likes running with Cinderblocks
– That is a lie.
– Fresh Prince came for his second post today. He did not break, so we presume he will be back.
– @peanutbutter was a no-show. I cried a little.
– Olaf and Johnny Utah almost kept up with Maximus and YHC, but we had a second block advantage. Basically it means they were CRUSHING it.
– Trucker only complained a little.
– That is a lie.

This is my report.

Locking Shields, a how to…

Leave a comment

Great Invergence today at WEP to close out an entire month of acceleration.

Now that we have finished a month of accelerating HIMs all over the Fort, how do we maintain that acceleration?

Answer? ACCOUNTABILITY!

Best way to execute accountability? Locking shields with fellow PAX.

Best way to consistently lock shields? Join a Shield Lock.

Today we heard from some 🛡🔒 PAX sharing experiences, advice and offering up themselves to their fellow PAX to learn the power of 🛡🔒.

To know more, ask a PAX that was present.

Need guidance or advice moving forward?  Reach out to @Pusher and he will point you in the direction of success and accountability.
