All of Them!

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Disclaimer loosened up the vocal cords
THE THANG: run out Richard Crossing to Front St, turn left to Berkshire, so 2 laps, return on Front/Richards Crossing

Message at end referred to 33 yr anniversary for me/M last wk and question from Pirate about what was the hardest phase. As Cyclops would say “all of them” AND they’ve also ALL been the best phase. How can you adjust your mindset to “both/and” and away from the “either/or” nature our culture seems to impose?

MARY: nope, she stayed in fartsack
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March 14 convergence, March 1 final Battle Bot Q at Alcatraz
COT: Davinci, wedding anniversary

This workout was simple, but not easy. I’m not sure what made it difficult – it was only four exercises done six times over a couple miles, but I think I’m going to feel it later. The beauty of its design was you had the opportunity to converse with the guy next to you between sets and see what is going on in his world. I heard laughs, grunts, celebrations, and struggles. Men shared their hearts but still put in the work. That’s what this is all about – asking the guy next to you how he’s doing. Listening to what he says and note what he doesn’t say. Men suck at asking for help. The signs are there if we know where to look. My encouragement for you is to reach up when you need help. But also, reach down when you have help to give. F3 has the opportunity to literally save lives if we will pour into Fellowship and Faith as much as we do Fitness. Strengthen yourself mentally and spiritually as much as you do physically. Do that and we will change the world: one household at a time.

Aye!

Med balls, sandbags and sledgehammers

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, low slow squats, low slow merkins. Windmills
THE THANG: mes balls and sandbags were lined up. Pax formed a line and started tossing them over the shoulder, rotate, we had 9 bags of different weights for the rotation.

Bring bags to bottom of parking lot. 4 pax will bear crawl and push/roll the medballs up the hill while rest of pax will toss sandbags forward, rotate as needed between to complete 2 circuits.

We had 3 sledgehammers waiting for us…

Next. 3 pax with hold one sledgehammer each with one hand with arm straight out and hold it while rest of pax mosey around parking lot carrying, sandbags, medballs and rucks. Rotate as needed for 10 minutes alternating between hammers and mosey.

Back to pushing medballs up the hill while bear crawling, 10 pax bear crawled up and down the hill in a rotating form while 3 pax made “halos” with the hammers, rotate again between hammers and med balls. another 10 minutes.

I’ve been wanting to try the bear crawl /med ball push for a while and now it’s one of my favorite modes of transportation.

Shoulders will be smoking tomorrow.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: jaeger, Q source happening once a month at Sweetwaters.
