Circle up shoulder to shoulder for one legged calf raises in Cadence.

The theme of Brotherhood was reinforced throughout with scripture and encouragement.

Ruby Slippers:

5 stations based on 5 core principles of F3. All
stations are AMRAP for 3ish minutes. Need a leader to
step up at each station to get the PAX organized and
ready to work. At the stations where Burpees IC are
called need different HIMs to lead their team by
performing the burpees with a 6-count cadence.

Station #1 – Core Principle: Free of Charge
Remember, you GET TO! Now get to it, tighten your
core, and don’t quit!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – LBCs
25 – Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg only )
20 – American Hammers ( count 1 side only )
15 – BigBoySit-ups
10 – V-Ups
Repeat

Station #2 – Core Principle: Open to all men
AMRAP – Team Work
It is in your hands to make a better world for all who
live in it. Give away what was freely given to you!
Now go EH somebody!!!
Routine:
Half of your team holds plank
Other half of your team completes 15 – Hand Released
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole team performs 10 burpees IC
Repeat

Station #3 – Core Principle: Held outdoors, rain or
shine.
When spending time in nature, one receives far more
than he seeks! So, stop complaining about the
weather and be thankful for the beat down you are
about to receive!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – Squats
25 – Monkey Humpers
20 – Jump Lunges
15 – Pollo Onos ( count 1 leg )
10 – Bobby Hurley’s
Repeat

Station #4 – Core Principle: Peer led in a rotating
fashion
Leaders become great because of their ability to
empower others. You are not out here for yourself.
You are out here to serve the man to your left and the
man to your right!
AMRAP – Team Work
Place cone approx. 25 yards from the station
Must start from the station as a team at the beginning
of each iteration.
Sprint to cone, Bear Crawl back to the station
Crawl Bear to cone, NUR back to the station
Broad Jump to cone, Mosey back to the station
Repeat

Station #5 – Core Principle: Ends with a Circle of
Trust – COT
Sharing joy multiplies it, sharing a burden lightens it!
Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your heart, you have
brothers that need to hear it!
AMRAP – OYO
Half of the group holds 6 inches from the Merkin
position
Other half of the group completes 10 Diamond
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole group completes 10 Burpees IC
Repeat

Ruby won. Great morning all around.

Rabbit:
Divide into two teams

Stage Coach:

2026 QvQ round 1

Leave a comment

THE THANG:
Fishstix was away and was alloted the 1st 20 minutes. We moseyed up to the top lot at The JOC. He led us in a series of partner work. Shouldered partner resistance mosey face to face, Patty Cake Merkins, Partner Get Ups. Round 2 was Wheel Barrows, Leg Throws and Partner Cliff Hanger Merkins.

Our man Flair subbed in for Slopes who sadly came down with the sickness. Flair stayed in the cross regional partner up and called AMRAP work together. No Cheat Merkins, Big Boys and Squats – take a lap. Remember your time as you are always challenging yourself. Next round same workout but beat your AMRAP from Rd 1. Take a lap. Stop at soccer goals and line up in Groups of 3. Suicides across the parking lot. Partner 1 takes of, Partner 2 planks and Partner 3 burpees until all partners complete suicide.
Flair Band Camp Please feel free to edit this BB as needed.

Mosey back to COT for a quick ab lab.

Both brought great VAPE however Fishstix pulled away by the tightest margin. Kudos to Flair for throwing together a great workout in little to no time. Kudos to Fishstix for taking the Dub.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Announced
COT: Prayers and praises as we tallied the vote.

Ode to Nairobi

Leave a comment

WARMUP: usuals
THE THANG: started off by discussing the brief history of our connection with F3 Nairobi and Safari (Phelix), shared the mission of bringing clean water to Homabay Africa, Safaris home and how it was divine intervention perhaps that brought Jonathan Fraufenhaur (F3 Mapquest) into F3 where he learned of F3 Nairobi. Our plans to raise 50,000 to fund the project over there led by Living Waters International of which Jonathan is an executive, and the involvement of the Fort.

I brought a Jerry Can to represent the cans that the people of that part of the world have to use to get water every day walking 3-4 miles to get to water sources that are not even clean!

The goal was to keep the can in the air the whole 45 minutes while we travelled to several pain stations bringing the kettlebells with us to complete the exercises at the stations.

Station one:

One Pax holds Can while other pax rotate through 4 exercises 10x each exercise once the Pax complete the 4 exercises the Can gets passed to the next Pax- 7 minutes total then we move to the next station-

There were 3 stations, actually 4 but we missed one because YHC forgot about it :man-facepalming:

Station 1
Press
Squats
Twists
Swings

Station 2
Bent over rows
Lunges
Clean to press
Plank drags

Station 3
10 Kettlebell Bent-Over Rows
• 10 Kettlebell Swings
• 10 Kettlebell Deadlifts
• 10 Kettlebell Sumo High Pulls

After this we walked back to COT, we held plank while PAX carried YJC to end of lot and back, then next Pax went to end of lot and back while we all did exercise called by the last pax that got back. Did this for 8 minutes
