QvQ Format:
20/20
PAX Vote in 4 categories
V.A.P.E.

Rabbit:
Divide into two teams

Every man runs 25m and nurs 25 back and the completes 2 squat jumps and 2 burpees.
WWR but add 2 reps to each exercise after each trip out and back. Team with the most reps in total wins.

In addition, each team selects 2 pax to hold Cindy’s above head … Cindy can't drop below the head… if they do the team loses their count and starts over at zero

15 minutes of work.

After time expires, Hold AlGore and plank while the preacher preaches about asking for help and looking for a brother that might need it. (Let's do this for each other men!)

Last 4 minutes jail break 50m and do 5 Big Boys… again but do 10… keep adding 5 and sprinting until time expired.

Stage Coach:
Partner work
Partner 1 will run to the other side of the field and back to partner 2. Partner 2 will be doing an exercise that slowly progresses across the field until Partner 1 returns and switch. Continue switching off between running and exercises until you’re across the field.
Exercises – Bear Crawl, lunge, broad jump burpee, crawl bear and reverse lunge

Results:
Stage Coach won two categories, but Rabbit also won two and had the most overall votes. Win goes to Rabbit.

Great work by both Qs sharpening their leadership today.

NMM
We never know what someone is going through. Could be divorce, a health scare, loss of a loved one, inability to pay rent, loss of a job, or mental, physical, or emotional stress. Sometimes life hits you hard and you just need someone to listen and support. That’s what F3 is all about. Sure, we could all get a good workout at Burn Bootcamp (shoutout to the coach across the parking lot yelling “encouragement” to her class). We might even have a bit of fellowship with our coworkers. But when life gets hard, most people lack a support system to help them get through it. F3 has been that support system for thousands of men worldwide. But that support system can only help if you share your burdens. Get to know the men around you in COT. Build those relationships that carry you in the hard times and celebrate with you in the good times. You never know when life will get hard, but it sure helps to have friends to get you through.

Pendulum Workout (Routine I “borrowed” off of Cha Ching)  10 – 5 Reps

(no burpees in the middle this time)
Diamond Merkins
 
Run Back to COT
My personal Favorite with the remaining time left….
EMOM  10 Burpees a minute on the minute….. (only got 9 minutes in)
 
The question of the day is why…why I still am doing this after 7 years when I first thought I’d only give it like 3 months.
 
And it really is because of all of the guys I’ve met and learned from. When I started the saying was if you want to run fast…run with faster people. And There are so many HIMS in our region that run so much faster than me. Not just actual literal running but accelerating at all phases of life. These are role models for us and a big reason why I keep coming out, and I keep pushing. Everyone reading this has in some way pushed me to be 1% better than I was yesterday.  Thank you guys! And see you all in the gloom!
