11th of The Fort

WARMUP: Quick mosey around the parking lot to lay out our lap we will do during the WO.

THE THANG:
Repeat performance of my Q yesterday at the Stockade. 45 minutes wasn’t enough so I am hoping 1 hour will do.

11s for 11 Years of The Fort
This was not a typical 11s workout, more like a mini board of pain. 11 rounds of 11 reps of 11 exercises. Do all 11 reps of each of the 11 exercises in a row, then run a lap, then repeat. After all 11 rounds are done, then finish it up with a crowd favorite.
Exercises were:
1. SSH 2 ct
2. Merkins
3. Mountain Climbers 2 ct
4. LSS
5. Imperial Walker 2 ct
6. CDD
7. Plank Jack
8. American Hammer 2 ct
9. Flying Squirrel
10. Ski Abs 2 ct
11. Lunge 2 ct
>> Run a lap (about 250m)
>> Repeat
>> When all 11 rounds are done, celebrate with 11 burpees!!

We got in 10 rounds plus the 11 burpees!! Great job PAX!!

While we were working out, when we could talk, we had some great discussions about
* Our needs or our why that motivated us to come out to our first F3 workout.
* Who EHd us, when, where
* What are we getting out of F3? How has it improved our lives in all three Fs. Short answer is alot and in many ways.
* All the impact F3 has outside of ourselves. A LOT!
* The importance of finding someone you can call a shield lock, whether within F3 or not.
* Who has inspired you? The importance of leading by example. Many reasons but also people see what you have going, how you are living/leading/leaving right and they may be inspired by you to attain that too.
* Who do we see in our everyday lives that could have a need or want that F3 could help with. Those are prime EH opportunities right there, Give it away!!

The stories share/heard today were nothing short of inspirational and reinvigorating.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* 11th anniversary of The Fort just passed. More celebrations are coming.
* Alot going on. Read your newsletter and get involved.
* D2D charity fundraising events for F3 The Fort scholarships and Bethel Mens Shelter will be coming soon!

COT:
* We each offered a prayer and a praise and laid them down at His feet for guidance, solace, peace, healing, strength.

Thanks for the opportunity to lead. SYITG and Blessings.

Fellowship at 7 – 11s

WARMUP: Not much. Did a quick lap around the parking lot then that’s it

THE THANG:
11s for 11 Years of The Fort
This was not a typical 11s workout, more like a mini board of pain. 11 rounds of 11 reps of 11 exercises. Do all 11 reps of each of the 11 exercises in a row, then run a lap, then repeat.
Exercises were:
1. SSH 2 ct
2. Merkins
3. Mountain Climbers 2 ct
4. LSS
5. Imperial Walker 2 ct
6. CDD
7. Plank Jack
8. American Hammer 2 ct
9. Flying Squirrel
10. Ski Abs 2 ct
11. Lunge 2 ct
>> Run a lap (about 250m)
>> Repeat
>> When all 11 rounds are done, celebrate with 11 burpees!!

During the workout, when we could breathe/talk, I asked each PAX how has F3/The Fort impacted your lives. We all know it served a need. There was a void or need of some sort that after being EHd you decided to answer and try to fulfill that need. The 1st F was the magnet, the 2nd became the glue, and the 3rd F, however you define it, made things explode. But it all started with a need we all had that we felt F3 could fulfill. That need turned into motivation, that motivation drove discipline, and the PAX you bonded with helped hold you accountable. Each of us shared our need, our why – what drove us to F3, and what keeps us coming back day after day, year after year. Inspiring stories for sure, and it helped us get to know each one of us better. Then I challenged each PAX to think about that, and look for similar signs in every guy you interface with on a daily basis. Do they have a need or why that F3/The Fort could possibly fulfill? It’s not just ‘sad clown’ syndrome, that is a great way to put it for sure, but what needs are not being addressed that F3/The Fort could help with?
We spoke in depth during the entire workout. It was awesome.
BUT…..due to time constraints we were only able to get 7 rounds in (maybe 6? we lost count). GREAT efforts and fellowship by all!

NOTE: This weinke WILL show up again and be made an hour workout….

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
* 11th ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORT COMING UP!!
* Read your newsletter and GET INVOLVED!!
* D2D charities this year are The Fort Scholarships for the three Fort Mill high schools and Bethel Men’s Shelter. We may be teaming up with F3 Rock Hill this year. Now is the time to start devoting efforts to beat the drum and raise money!
COT:
* Each of us lifted up a prayer and a praise and laid them at His feet for help, guidance, strength, discipline, wisdom, courage, healing, solace, and love.

Great way to start the day! Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
SYITG and Blessings.
