Locking Shields with the King

Leave a comment

7 was the number of HIMs that showed for a conversation about the 👑 this morning at Baxter’s finest caffeinated drink emporium.

Takeaway: how much further can we go if we treat posting in the AM as an opportunity to lock shields? Am I willing to make myself accountable in the PM today to someone else that I will meet in the AM tomorrow? Ask one of these guys when you see them.

Wheel of Gloom!!!

Leave a comment

It was a little rainy but a lot windy for the Stockade debut of the Wheel of Gloom.

For those unfamiliar the wheel of gloom is each Pax taking turns spinning the Wheel. Each spot on the wheel denotes a workout with reps. Each rep is one point for the spinner… but all Pax do the exercises.

Exercises included burpees, Merkins, jump squats, LBCs, Freddy Mercury’s, Big Boys, among others.

The lighting round was a wheel of fortune type routine with correct letters earning points and wrong guesses resulting in LBCS.

Masterpiece solved the puzzle and racked up some big points.

Final round was a 1:00 minute Diamond Merkin Off between Masterpiece and Grassy Knoll.

Grassy won the final round and was given the chance to take a 4-pack of delicious White Claw OR choose what was in the box. Thankfully he chose the box and got a nice variety pack courtesy of Slapshots beer fridge. Masterpiece ended up with the Whiteclaw.

The point today was a decent workout with great fellowship. Thankful for those who showed. It was a fun time!

Until next time!

BandCamp’s Revenge 🙄

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mosey to smooth pavement.  IW x 10;  WM x 10;  LSS x 10;  AP x 10

THE THANG:  Rugby Sprints – duh. 🙄 Ground exercise followed by hard sprint and back followed by quick recovery [TWSS!].   Times 5 reps times 3 sets.  

Talked about forgiveness (example – admit your sins to a trusted source – voice your forgiveness to others – get out of your head and on with your life).  

Move over to the Hill – you know the one 🤷🏻‍♂️.   5 Flying Squirrels followed by a sprint up and run back – x 3 times.  

MARY:  6-ish minutes of abdominal exercises – someone called them out – there – are you happy?!?

ANNOUNCEMENTS:  Give to the Dam to Dam fundraising – it’s the actual point where F3 hits community leadership.  For real!

COT:   @Sprocket took us out because he’s the kind of guy you want covering your back – we prayed for all of our souls and the souls of those we love. Aye!

The Kitchen Sink – 01FEB2023

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
We stretched a bit, some windmills, light jogging, tappy-taps, some SSH, you get the idea…

THE THANG:
Sandbags required. YHC had and recommended a 60lb, but no one was weighing anything…
– First it was a long, bagless loop around the parking lot/car loop with some stops to do things like Merkins, squats, and the like.
– Then we grabbed our sandbags and partnered up for a little catch me if you can from the flag to the top of Hubert Graham — 5 burpees while your partner farmer carried your bags, catch and switch
– At every manhole cover on the way down the hill (for 7 covers), do 5 manmakers
– On the way back up the hill, do 20 flutters (2-count) with press at each manhole cover
– Next round, 3 curls on the way down and up
– REPEAT as time allows… time didn’t allow…
– Back to flag for cool-down and Mary

MARY: No Chicks Allowed.

The Wheel of Wow

Leave a comment

It was a dank morning in The Fort as 18 men decided to make the hard choice and accelerate their Friday!

We warmed up the engines quickly and then moseyed over to the Wheel of Wow for a high dose of pain.

Wheel of Wow:
Eight cones with a different KB exercise at each cone. The timer was a 40 count of reps on the battle ropes. We rotated around the wheel, and at every third cone we ran a lap.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.
