We had six at the Forge this morning. Started with a mosey around the parking lot before doing the typical warmups.
Next a modified DORA, same counts with different exercises added bonus with a large rock. Curls, overhead press, and flutters. Once completed, we ran to the back of the tire store for a set of step ups, erkins, and dips. We continued around the back of HT. Completed a sidewalk shuffle and walk sit.
Back to the front of the building where we began the workout. We finished with a man maker ladder. Partner 1 performed the man makers while Partner 2 ran. Flip flop
Back to COT.

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.

Following the arrows…

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Mozy to the front of GHMS for imperial walkers, mountain climbers, and Moroccan night clubs.
THE THANG: After the warmup proceeded toward Dave Gibson blvd and stopped at the first working street light for the shortest round of sevens. (Daylight savings time limited the number of working street lights). Pax lined up on one side of the street for 1 Mike Tyson, then bear crawled across the road for 6 big boy sit-ups. We then bear crawled back to the start for a rinse and repeat count up/count down until we did 6 Tysons and 1 big boy sit-up.
We then ran down the road to the entrance of the elementary school. On the length of the street are three columns of arrows to direct school traffic to the elementary and middle schools. We ran down the turn lane until the arrows ended and then started our journey back. At each arrow in the column the Pax did five burpees (45 total) before returning to the starting point.
Moving on to the center column of arrows, we ran down and headed back with 10 LBCs (120 total) at each. Rinse and repeat down the final column where we did Merkins (80) on the way back to start. Round two consisted of Dips (90), Squats (120), overhead claps (80).
MARY: Short on time we ran back to COT for < 1 minute of full body destroyers. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Upcoming CSAUPSand volunteer opportunities. COT: Health: Family, friends, Pax, coworkers. Mental health and those around us who are impacted.

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!
