Shieldlock vs Shieldlock

Leave a comment

Get ready! The next couple of months are going to get crazy at #ao-Varsity as the ShieldLocks around The Fort show us what they’ve got! Each week we’ll have an entire Shieldlock co-Q a workout for those brave enough to show up. Lets see which Shieldlock brings the most pain!
First on deck are the FortHorsemen. There will be cindy’s, there will be bar work, there will be running, and a little something extra. Show to know this Friday at #AO-Varsity!

Konvergence for Kenya

Leave a comment

We converged on 6/10 to with a special weinke designed by the PAX of F3 Nairobi (but “may” have been augmented by Poppins…)
Weinke

Warm up
Various, but highlight was 150 SSH in sets of 50. #CrowdPleaser

Groups of 5
Indian Run
5 burpees by the guys at the back

Dora on the football practice field
50 burpees – bear crawl
200 merkins – bear crawl
200 squats – lunge walk
300 4-count mountain climbers – frog leap a partner

Lots of bat flipping on the 4-count of the mountain climbers and the frog leaping

The guys in Kenya average a 5 mile transit to and from the AO, so a group of PAX dutifully pre-ran and post-ran 5 miles after the beatdown. YHC took a bit of flack, because it was me that spitballed that idea and then did not pre or post run. I did bring my 2.0 to the workout to try to cover the fact that I wouldn’t be running extra, but to no avail. Badlands 100% called me out.

Welcome FNGs
– Dungeon Master
– V-neck

Pre-runners:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse, Sasquatch, Cyclops, Beaker
– rucking: Sprocket, NakedandAfraid
Post-run:
– Badlands, Poppins, Rolloff, Maximus, Funhouse
All running
– Gears

The plan was to raise $$ to purchase a vehicle for transportation of Nairobi PAX to workouts, supporting efforts to assist in community and coordinating donations etc. The need is tremendous and our financial support is magnified in Kenya.

As of this backblast, we raised $2620. I have no idea when you’re reading this, but you could possibly still contribute and Poppins may still have T-Shirts in the back of his vehicle: https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-our-kenyan-f3-brothers?member=26869695&sharetype=teams

Announcements:
Q-School Wednesday 6/14 at Bushwood
The Fort Retreat 8/11-8/13 (Register now!)
https://criout.regfox.com/f3-him-camp

Safari (F3 Nairobi Nantan) facetimed in at the end to offer up a prayer closing out COT.

This backblast respectfully submitted by Band Camp

Choose Your Cluster

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
Pledge of Allegiance then Mosey to FMRX.

THE THANG:
4 cluster of cones set up in the parking lot. 3 cones in each cluster. One exercise (and count) on each cone. Pax, OYO, run the loop through downtown Fort Mill, choose a cluster of cones, do the exercise in the cluster, then rinse and repeat. The cones may or may not have been repurposed from yesterday’s workout at Ring of Fire.

MARY:
Some had just a few minutes for Freddies and Flutters.

Awesome work by all pax. Thanks, FunHouse, for the opportunity to lead!

We were ready to play ball!
THE THANG: 4 cones spread out in the shape of a baseball diamond. Perform exercises at each base and then proceed to the next base via suggested mode of transportation. Go until the defense completes the Outfield Dora. The base exercises and modes of travels were: Home Plate – 5 Pullups, 10 Merkins and then BroadJump to 1st base – 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 15 CDDs and then Lt. Dan it to 2nd base – 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 15 CDDs, 20 LBCs and then CrawlBear to 3rd base – 5 Burpees, 10 Merkins, 15 CDDs, 20 LBCs, 25 Flutters ( single count ) and then BearCrawl to homeplate.
The offense continues around the base path and tries to make as many trips to home they can before the defense completes the following Dora routine: 50 Burpees, 100 Sumo Squats, 200 Flutters ( single count ). Finished 1 complete inning with Bobber’s team losing to Rebel’s team 3-1.
