Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

Leave a comment

Lots of dudes showed up to the Pond Party this morning .
Pledge..Let's go
First stop, The Pharmacy for SSHs and a couple burpees
Next Stop, New parking lot, Old Hardee's
10 merkins, 10 Squats, 10 LBCs.
Partner up with like speed so you and partner arrive at the destination at same time. I didn't do a good job explaining this, no worries we made it safely to the Post Offices
Same exercises, back to the parking lot, same exercises with partner dips and merkins until six arrives.
Next, we ran to the First Baptist Church parking lot. I did my best to describe this workout as the merkin mile, 20 merkins at each island, each lap, 5 laps = 1 mile. Once complete, we did the same routine swapping out the merkins for squats and LBCs.
Back to COT
Prayers for Wegmans Boston Marathon adventure.

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.

Exercises in cadence -‘seal jacks, windmills, Cherry pickers, imperial walkers, merkins, shoulder taps and 5 burpees OYO – just because.

THE THANG: mosey to St. John’s UMC lot for partner Dora 50-100-150

Mosey to COT

MARY: varying pax led exercises
The mule called and led American hammers
Italian Job called flutters
Cohiba called Hello Dollys
That took us to 0600

ANNOUNCEMENTS: always – and read your newsletter too.

COT: My why for F3 is simple we can give others a path to being better while doing so ourselves. In our lives, there are things that make us better off, or worse off. The mission is simple and compelling.

Prayers were lifted up for U-Haul and his family and DD & his M going through cancer treatment.

Praise for Sofrito turning 50 and respect.

This was a Q school workout. Reminders shared wi the pax are below. Thanks for the call Cubbie 👁️

Q-school Tips: 3-31-26
1 – when running fitness levels vary widely; 4 corners is great.
2 – calling cadence demonstrated
3 – scout your site beforehand if possible
4 – keeping the group together: run-exercise-run-exercise-run-exercise
5 – 5 minutes of Mary – great way to have a new pax call an exercise and lead in a cadence
6 – have a modified exercise in reserve if fitness levels vary widely – ie: burpee modified down to a flying squirrel or a squat into a plank and return to upright. Modify as needed to avoid injury; don’t modify to avoid effort
7 – partner work (ie: Dora) – encourages pax and takes cadence off of Q (freed to lead…..and delegate)
8 – site q is responsible for site; q is responsible for the outcome of the workout: Credo part 1 – leave no man behind
Credo part 2 – leave no man where you found him

Good group for a chilly morning. Decided to be super creative and use date as workout plan. Yog over to side of lowes for 3 exercises, 13 reps of each: HR merkins, big boys, and squats. Repat this at 2 more stops until we ended up near the Imdian restaurant. Break up into 3 teams, 2 teams work while 1 team does active rest. Teams 1 & 2 do 10 merkins while team 3 holds plank, then 2 & 3 merkins and 1 planks, then 1 & 3 merkin and 2 planks. 2 rounds of this. Then same sequence but big boys were the exercise and 6″ leg holds were the rest. 2 rounds of that. Then another 2 rounds with squats and Al Gores. Yog over to main parking lot. Everyone line up on curb for 15 merkins, 15 big boys, and 15 squats, then run 3 line suicide. 13 merkins, 13 big boys, 13 squats, 2 line suicide. 11 merkins, 11 big boys, 11 squats, run to far line and back. Circle up, PAX are doing shoulder taps while 2 do 5 merkins. Rotate merkins around the circle until everyone has done 2 sets. Next round was lunges and 3 burpees. Again go around until everyone did 2 sets of burpees. Back to the cars for a few minutes of Mary. Thanks for the opportunity <@U04M7P605SM>!
