Circle up shoulder to shoulder for one legged calf raises in Cadence.

The theme of Brotherhood was reinforced throughout with scripture and encouragement.

Ruby Slippers:

5 stations based on 5 core principles of F3. All
stations are AMRAP for 3ish minutes. Need a leader to
step up at each station to get the PAX organized and
ready to work. At the stations where Burpees IC are
called need different HIMs to lead their team by
performing the burpees with a 6-count cadence.

Station #1 – Core Principle: Free of Charge
Remember, you GET TO! Now get to it, tighten your
core, and don’t quit!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – LBCs
25 – Flutter Kicks ( count 1 leg only )
20 – American Hammers ( count 1 side only )
15 – BigBoySit-ups
10 – V-Ups
Repeat

Station #2 – Core Principle: Open to all men
AMRAP – Team Work
It is in your hands to make a better world for all who
live in it. Give away what was freely given to you!
Now go EH somebody!!!
Routine:
Half of your team holds plank
Other half of your team completes 15 – Hand Released
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole team performs 10 burpees IC
Repeat

Station #3 – Core Principle: Held outdoors, rain or
shine.
When spending time in nature, one receives far more
than he seeks! So, stop complaining about the
weather and be thankful for the beat down you are
about to receive!
AMRAP – OYO
30 – Squats
25 – Monkey Humpers
20 – Jump Lunges
15 – Pollo Onos ( count 1 leg )
10 – Bobby Hurley’s
Repeat

Station #4 – Core Principle: Peer led in a rotating
fashion
Leaders become great because of their ability to
empower others. You are not out here for yourself.
You are out here to serve the man to your left and the
man to your right!
AMRAP – Team Work
Place cone approx. 25 yards from the station
Must start from the station as a team at the beginning
of each iteration.
Sprint to cone, Bear Crawl back to the station
Crawl Bear to cone, NUR back to the station
Broad Jump to cone, Mosey back to the station
Repeat

Station #5 – Core Principle: Ends with a Circle of
Trust – COT
Sharing joy multiplies it, sharing a burden lightens it!
Don’t be afraid to say what’s on your heart, you have
brothers that need to hear it!
AMRAP – OYO
Half of the group holds 6 inches from the Merkin
position
Other half of the group completes 10 Diamond
Merkins
Switch
Then the whole group completes 10 Burpees IC
Repeat

Ruby won. Great morning all around.

Descending the ladder (run a lap between each round)

Round 5: 3 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions + 10 merkins
Round 6: 2 burpees + 10 hand-touch squats + 10 plank w leg crunch/extensions
Round 7: 1 burpee + 10 hand-touch squats
>> Rinse and repeat

  • One evolution is 16 burpees, 70 LSS, 50 MCs (2ct), 30 merkins, 10 jump squats

Everyone got at least 2 full completions of this evolution (ascend then descend is one evolution), and started another full ascension. Overall, everyone got at least 3 miles. Good push by everyone.

Sharks and Minnows at The Block Party

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.
