New Office Tour

Leave a comment

On what was the most humid day of the year so far, 9 pax got after it in the gloom. <@U01NGHPR2HW> asked that I give my “why” for F3. My why isn’t because of the workout or doing something that most ordinary people wouldn’t do or because it put me in the best shape of my adult life when I was called to donate a kidney to a friend, but it’s because of the group of men that create a community that cares about each other.
I know that if I don’t show up, someone will wonder where I am, how I’m doing, and truly care about me.
This is more than a workout group. It’s a community that I’m proud to be a part of. Keep posting, check on Kotters, and get more men into this group.
WARMUP: We mossey’d over to the First Baptist church parking lot to give us some room and some nice pavement to work from. Started with SSH, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Merkins, Parker Peters
THE THANG: The OG Dora of 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs. Followed that with a Jack (1/2 of a Jack Webb) of burpees and Overhead claps and then a Webb Jack of Mountain Climbers and Mack-tar-njais.
MARY: Ran back towards COT and then climbed the steps at the park before going back to Veterans Park for some box cutters and some flutters.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Bethel Men’s Shelter service on 7/3/26.
COT: Lots of prayers for families, jobs, and our group.

Halfway there…… 10 Seconds….

Leave a comment

Beautiful day in the Gloom. Always look forward to Q. Great turnout at the sink for my madness with a timer.

Warmup:

SSH x 15
Seal Jack x 15
Plank Jack x15
Mountain Climber x 15

Pick up something heavy get to the field

All Pax line up facing a series of cones. All Pax have to do the following with their Block or Sandbag

50 Curls
75 Flutters with Press
100 Squats
25 Man makers

Every minute on the minute they will hear a beep. When you hear the beep you move to a cone.
Mode of Transportation between cone 1 and 2 is Overhead carry. Mode of Transportation of cones 2 and 3 are murder bunny or Bag toss.
Wash rinse repeat until all reps are done.
There was also a 20 minute timer on this. All pax finished just under the 20 minutes mark.

Next Phase
All pax line up in an Indian run format. The 6 will do 5 squats. We run for a minute then do a minute of an exercise. 8 rounds.

The exercises were
Bent over rows
Lunges
Big boy sit ups
Burpee jump overs.

Did this right up until 6:00am.

Theme today was motivation. Do you rush through to get the reps done…do you take your time and try to run out the clock. Or do you have a consistent approach that maximizes your effort and results. Only you know.

Thanks to Brawny for the opportunity to lead!

Honoring the 4,414

Leave a comment

WARMUP: none
THE THANG:
Tomorrow is the 81st anniversary of D-Day. 81 years ago isn’t that long ago. Tens of thousands of troops from 15 Allied nations had the unified goal to stop a madman from taking over the world. Many knew they were not coming back, yet they had no reservations about stepping up to perform the daunting tasks ahead of them. 4,414 Allied troops were killed in action, approx 2,500 of them from the USA alone. About 2/3 of them were KIA at the 5 assault points, beaches at Normandy- Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword. The remainder were KIA as paratroopers behind enemy lines. Today we honored them.

A 1,944 meter loop (1.2 miles for us Americans), with 5 pain stations for each of the landing zones.
Utah – 5 burpees
Omaha- 10 merkins
Gold – 15 big boy sit-ups
Juno – 20 CDDs
Sprint up the hill, then
Sword – 25 LSS
Repeat 3x

MARY: a little, about a minute worth
ANNOUNCEMENTS: read your newsletter
COT: this is the place to open up and share. I have trouble with this, but getting better at it. We spent a good 5-10 minutes sharing. Don’t take the COTs for granted. It may be the only place you can share your burdens with guys who literally have your back and support you. Most of the time after workouts we rush the COTs, eager to get home and get on with our days. Do not be afraid to be the one to tap the brakes, slow things down, and open up….or allow others to do so as well. We had some great conversations this morning. Warning Track put it well….vulnerability is not weakness, rather a sign of strength and leadership. I needed that COT today. Thanks fellas. Love you guys.
