Tootsie Rolls in a Van Down by the River

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
SSH, burpee
IW, 2 burpees
HW, 3 burpees
Merkin
Mosey once Mark Twain arrived in a suspect working van. For the record it did not say “Free Candy” on the side…..but it could have

Mosey towards the auditorium entrance
Bulgarian Split Squats
Mosey to band practice field

Rehash of Iron Pax Care Bear Squared:
Starting at on corner and bearcrawl 25ish years and perform 25 air squats.
After the squats, bearcrawl to the left (Cubbie felt this was like the Tootsie Roll, which made me think he’s been doing the Tootsie Roll wrong for a number of years.) 25ish years and perform 25 merkins.
After the merkins, reverse bearcrawl 25ish yards and perform 25 flutters.
After the big boy situps, bearcrawl to the right to starting point and perform 25 burpees.

Only difference from Iron Pax is this time we did them ALL called.

Mosey towards the front of the school
Another round of Care Bear Squared in a new location

Mosey around back of the school
Bulgarian Split Squats

Mosey to pull up bars
19 pullups for the 19th of the month

Mosey back to COT
Flutters
And some more burpees in cadence (crowd pleaser) at the last minute

NMM:
The mission of F3 is the invigoration of Male Community Leadership. Throughout the workout we all listed the guy who EHed us. None of those guys happened to be at this workout. And that’s part of what invigorating leadership looks like.

It’s easy to be a consumer of F3, just to show up and workout, but that’s not the mission. Accelerating fitness is part of invigoration male community leadership, but if we aren’t developing new leaders and encouraging guys to take that VQ, plant a shovel flag, etc. then we’re missing the mission.

I’m going to tap into my Christian roots and my favorite hymn: God of Grace and God of Glory, third verse (deep cuts).
“Grant us wisdom, grant us courage
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss your kingdom’s goal.”

Prayer: Let us not miss the goal.
