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….
