WARMUP: Disclaimer only
THE THANG: 1776 reps of pain plus some running
COT: On this birthday of our country we added FNG Tang to our pax, EH’d by Mark Twain. Welcome brother! We sweat like crazy in the Gloom and let the familiar soreness settle in as the fireworks lit up the sky to honor our forefathers and our fellow Americans. Grateful to have been born in the USA and to share this life with my F3 brothers. May we stay United and foster Unity with those we meet each time we leave COT and enter the world around us. God Bless America!

1. Merkins – Respect yourself and others – There is no such thing as self-respect without respect for others.
2. Sumo Squats – Take Full Responsibility – There are no shortcuts to success.

6. Pull Ups – Make hard work your passion. – Do the things that aren’t fun first and do them well.

601 Finals Week!!!

Nice cool morning for the 4th and final edition of siteQ school. As with the other days the theme was Stewardship. In short, how are we as SiteQ’s acting as stewards of F3’s mission, our fellow PAX, and our actual Sites.

We moseyed to the elementary school where we ciricled up and asked the assembled Site Q’s what is F3’s mission. Slow Jams impressed by quickly noting it. I then challenged them all on what our credo is and what are our 5 core principles.
I think repeating what our mission, the credo and the principles is fundamental in reminding us of why we do what we do.
After a brief discussion on what it means to be a steward of our respective sites : leave no trace, be mindful of risks, plant the flag etc… We got to work. (since it is a workout afterall)
Stewardship of Site
30 second Tabata with 10 second rest 4 rounds. ( 2 shoulder 2 leg) The series is to do one rep of a “base” exercise then follow it with a single rep of another exercise and then increase reps as the time goes on. So 1 merkin to 1 tap increases to 2 merkins to 2 taps…3 to 3…4…to 4… and so on until time expires.
Shoulder Series by 1
1 Merkin to :
Shoulder Taps
Peter Parker
Mountain Climber
Hr Merkin
Leg Series by 1
1 Squat to:
Lunges
Calf Raises
Jump Squats
Step ups (if available

After I smoked everyone’s shoulders We talked about the importance of siteQ’s role in making sure both tenured PAX and especially newer PAX or FNG’s are taken care of at their sites. Meaning, picking up the 6, explaining terminology, introducing yourself to newer ppl, and ensuring we are creating a welcoming and positive atmosphere. We then got to more work. This series was focused on core so we did 1 to 4 ratio. 3 rounds.
Stewardship of Pax
Ab Series by 4
1 BBS to :
Flutters
Feet to Ground LBCS
Freddy Mercury
Hammers

After the Core series and looking at the clock I moved us quickly back towards COT but we did partner up and did a quick catch me if you can with merkins and bear crawls..up a hill. Because why not.
At COT I had us do a quick 5 burpees OYO and then got into the final piece which is the stewardship of the mission. How we as SiteQ’s can help influence the mission by how we run each of our sites.

I encouraged pax to read the detailed SITEQ guide that Fishtix put together and then closed us all out with announcements and COT.
In Lieu of a prayer I closed it out in a moment of silence and a final thought…that for all of us to remember that somebody…somewhere…is looking at YOU not only as an example…but as THE example for something. Don’t’ let that somebody down.
Thanks for coming and the opportunity!
