Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH, burpee
IW, 2 burpees
HW, 3 burpees
Merkin
Mosey once Mark Twain arrived in a suspect working van. For the record it did not say “Free Candy” on the side…..but it could have

Mosey towards the auditorium entrance
Bulgarian Split Squats
Mosey to band practice field

Rehash of Iron Pax Care Bear Squared:
Starting at on corner and bearcrawl 25ish years and perform 25 air squats.
After the squats, bearcrawl to the left (Cubbie felt this was like the Tootsie Roll, which made me think he’s been doing the Tootsie Roll wrong for a number of years.) 25ish years and perform 25 merkins.
After the merkins, reverse bearcrawl 25ish yards and perform 25 flutters.
After the big boy situps, bearcrawl to the right to starting point and perform 25 burpees.

Only difference from Iron Pax is this time we did them ALL called.

Mosey towards the front of the school
Another round of Care Bear Squared in a new location

Mosey around back of the school
Bulgarian Split Squats

Mosey to pull up bars
19 pullups for the 19th of the month

Mosey back to COT
Flutters
And some more burpees in cadence (crowd pleaser) at the last minute

NMM:
The mission of F3 is the invigoration of Male Community Leadership. Throughout the workout we all listed the guy who EHed us. None of those guys happened to be at this workout. And that’s part of what invigorating leadership looks like.

It’s easy to be a consumer of F3, just to show up and workout, but that’s not the mission. Accelerating fitness is part of invigoration male community leadership, but if we aren’t developing new leaders and encouraging guys to take that VQ, plant a shovel flag, etc. then we’re missing the mission.

I’m going to tap into my Christian roots and my favorite hymn: God of Grace and God of Glory, third verse (deep cuts).
“Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal.”

Prayer: Let us not miss the goal.

Honor of Cash

Leave a comment

Today, we honored Cash, hospital name Jay Griggs, who passed away in Sept 2020 of cancer. He was given the name “Cash” as in Johnny Cash due to his all black outfit he worn at his first workout along with his hometown of Nashville, TN. The Coop was renamed “Ring of Fire” in honor of Cash. Double D shared stories through the workout. Cash was a genuine person who was always ready to help out a friend.
Jekyll provided me with a backblast from 2015 where Cash was in attendance. I decided to copy it on a piece of paper and unfortunately dropped it in the gloom so it did not match the exact workout.
We first moseyed to the front entrance of the school for COP (SSHs, IWs, Windmills, Cherry Pickers, Plank Stretches, and Mountain Climbers)
Next, we moseyed to the gym wall for People’s Chair with each pax running out to the parking lot for 5 merkins. One round of Balls to the Wall.
The lights came on making it easier to navigate, mosey to the ROTC building.
Dirty McDeuce (3 exercises, 12 reps) Run to the top of the hill, 5 burpees and back down to starting point.
R1: Merkins, LBCs, Lunges
R2: Wide Arm Merkins, Hello Dollies, Squats
R3: CDD, Flutters, Jump Squats
R4: Stagger Merkins, X/Os, Calf Raises

Back to the top of the hill near the school
Three rounds of toe touches, Dips, Derkins (12 reps)

Back to COT
Closed with Cash’s prayer

Search me Lord. Lead me to you. Help me to be a good man, a good father, a good husband and a good employee. Help me to forgive and release from resentment those that I feel have offended me. Let me see the good in others and draw that goodness out of them.
