Big 5-0

Leave a comment

Move everyone and everything to back corner of panera lot. Warm-up was run one lap slick, ruck one lap, ruck one lap with sandbags. Then 5 rounds of 10 merkins w/ruck, 10 overhead presses, and 10 swings. Ruck a lap with sandbag, ruck a lap, then run a lap slick. Next we partnered up and did some heavy movements. Then I guess we did the stupid shit according to Sofrito. But it was some team based moving of sandbags used at a couple ruck events. It was definitely new to some guys but based on the complaints it was fun. I probably missed a few guys in the tags but i sincerely appreciate everyone who came out to wish me a happy birthday today. Im truly blessed to be apart of this group.

Unbeknownst to the PAX we switched modalities about halfway through. This was to represent the foundation 1 from Q-Source: https://f3nation.com/disruption.

“Because it induces movement, leadership causes Disruption”

PAX were disrupted from their planned morning workout to make sure both Qs saw all the PAX and to push them outside the complacency zone of their established routines. With the leadership, we should expect disruption and embrace it.

Leaders influence movement towards advantage. Disruption is a solid technique to induce movement.

“If a man calls himself a leader but does not cause Disruption by initiating movement, then he is not practicing leadership. He might be doing something else, like managing or governing, but he is not leading.”

It is not the goal of the new SLT members is not to manage or govern. It should not be the goal of the Site Qs to manage or govern. Let’s lead!

F3 is not an organization with leaders, but an organization OF leaders. Each man is freed to lead. The particulars of Site Qs and the SLT structure is nice, but let us not be afraid to disrupt when we have a vision for advantage.

Kermit handed 2nd F Q off to Liberty Bibberty
Band Camp handed the Weasel Shaker off to Poppins
Esso handed the Nantan Flag off to Band Camp

It is an honor to be considered a leader in the Fort. But be mindful every member of the PAX is A LEADER. Let’s all be about the business of leading.

The rain was light but steady throughout and it didn’t scare off any of the pax. 36 degrees and wet — I’m grateful anyone showed up but I was especially grateful to see my co-Q Trucker. We used the morning as a faceoff between Trucker repping Penn St and DD repping Notre Dame in advance of the CFP game the following Thur.

Trucker led off with a history lesson of the rivalry that started in 1913. His upper body sequence included the list below with 19 reps on the first round and 13 reps in the second round.

Chest press
Skull crushers
Lat swings
Shoulder press
Front shoulder raises
Upright rows

Curls

DD took over halfway through for a lower body sequence that included 4 quarters (4 rounds) of the following:

Cleans R/L
Goblet squat
Racked lunge R/L
Goblet calf raise
Swings
Core exercise
Mosey to front of church and back

It was a great .morning (once it was over) and a great warm up for the Irish victory 4 days later!

Pavement Spa

Eight men showed up this morning for the party. Quick disclaimer, few steps back, warm-ups (SSHs, IWs, WMs).
Next, we moseyed to the Pharma. Plank exercises, merkins, Peter Parker, Wide Arm Merkins, Parker Peter, 6 inch hold.
We then made our way to the old Hardees parking lot. I thought it was repaved, but it was rough as sandpaper. Crab walk from one end to the other, stopping at each parking stripe for 10 LBCs. Back the other way, bear crawl with merkins at every stop. We were now soaking wet with bruised hands.
Jog to Unity church for a Dora (CDDs, Squats, Flutters), run to bottom of the hill and back.
We made our last stop at the Footloose AO. Keeping our same partners, Partner 1 ran to the end of the lot and back while Partner 2 bear crawled. Flipflop upon return.
Burpee lightpoles on the way back to COT
Few minutes of Mary at the flag.

Turn rain on 0515, turn rain off 0600’ish

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Gathered before 0515 and no rain. 0515 hits and the rain begins. Why create an environment that makes things a little easier?

Disclaimer given and we took off on a little mosey to the corner of the parking lot.

Circled up for SSH, windmills, cherry pickers, low slow squats, merkins, Peter Parker.
THE THANG: Ran to the oil change place that has the little wall in the back. Once we got to the wall, direction was given. 10-20-30 was the idea.
– 10 step ups, run around building
– 10 diamond derkins, run around building
– 20 step ups, run
– 20 regular derkins, run
– 30 step ups, run
– 30 wide arm derkins, run

Run through the smell gauntlet and all the way through to the apartments with the round about at the bottom of the hill. 10-20-30 again but no running.

Alternating between CDD and lunges, do 10 of each, then 20, then 30.

Last we did 7s at the bottom of the hill to the fire station entrance. NUR up the hill, regular run to the bottom. Bottom of hill was bomb jacks, at the Fire station was 4 count flutters.
MARY: Plank hold with some plank stretches
ANNOUNCEMENTS: yes, newsletter
