Kitchen Faucet Was Turned Off At The ‘Sink

Leave a comment

Bring your sand bag. Those were the instructions.
WARMUP: Short mosey with a few of the typical warmup exercises.
THE THANG: Grab your bag…sandbag, and meet me by the flag poles.
I reintroduced the GoRuck 60×60 and let them know it would be a regular exercise this morning. For the 1 person reading this, if you’re not sure what the 60×60 is, here you go.
Start with the bag on the ground in front of your feet. Bend over and put your hands on the bag, drop back to a plank, execute a pushup with your chest touching the bag, pop up into the bottom of a squat, rack the sandbag to a front-rack position, stand up then toss the sandbag over your head once you get to the top of the movement. That is 1. Turn around, address the sandbag and do it again. Repeat for 60 seconds.
To ensure we knew how to execute it, we performed our first 60×60.
Rack the bag and make our way behind the school to the back drop-off entrance.
15 of each exercise:
Simbas (because I love them and they’re harder with a sandbag)
Flutters with press. At rep #8, I was called out for not actually pressing my sandbag so I performed 8 correct reps once everyone else completed their 15. I’m thankful IJ called me out as I’m sure others saw this yet didn’t speak up. We need men in our lives who will speak up.
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the other end of the back stretch behind the school.
15 of each exercise:
Squats
Dead Lifts (Hopefully with proper form)
Thrusters
Slow(er) Calf Raises
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet at the corner of the loop by the lighted sign.
15 of each exercise:
Partner Derkins (no sandbag)
Curls
Overhead Press
Chest Press (15 I/C actually means 30)
60×60
Rack the sandbag and meet over by the rock
Another 60×60
Partner Up
Partner 1: Farmers Carry the two sand bags an untold distance, probably 40yds then back.
Partner 2: Mountain Climbers
Flapjack
Rack the sandbag and go back to COT.

MARY: See above
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Rock Hill Rooster (I think) Partnership with Bethel on Sept 6!
All the others are in the Newsletter, or should be.
COT: Indeed

The NOT SO Sweaty Barry

Leave a comment

If I missed your name, feel free to edit it in….

The weather did not agree with us, but I hope everyone had a nice evening at The Barry (aka The Sweaty Barry). I’m really not sure how a person could not have a good time with Milwaukee’s Beast and PBR being served.

Winner (repeat), Harry Carry … new traveling trophy awarded

Ruck winner (repeat), 3D … we’ll rustle up an award for the ruck winner next year

Thanks to the volunteers.

Thanks to the Rock Hill participants.

Thanks to Twister for gracing us with his presence.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

WARMUP: Broga while twister complained he doesn’t stretch enough
THE THANG: Kingsley hill repeats with 8 blocker explanation as the recovery. Would focus on running only next time during beatdown and spend 15 mins to go through 8 blocker over coffee in the future. You don’t know until you try and fail. Thanks for the feedback gents

MARY: LB started with Freddie’s while I was grabbing my phone. Then I did a quick Circle Of Hate where YHC called out merkins which the group did as I bear crawled back and forth from the nearest light pole.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Tortoise & Hare this Saturday. Next Saturday Hog & Coyote. CSAUP CENTRAL! Get signed up, support the HIMs leading these events, support your region and the greater good it is providing. Read your newsletter.

COT: Prayers & praises and YHC prayed us out.

Spoke on 5 core principles, all equally weighted however COT, it sets us apart from every other workout group.
Spoke on Mission statement, are we a workout group???
Spoke on Visions statement, be real about picking up the 6. Make it a point to offer an encouraging push. That next man may need it more than you know.

Appreciate the Q and the continual cross pollination between our 2 regions with all these HIMs. I encourage RH pax to take a trip north and you Fort pax to take a trip south every so often. A little flavor in your bland weekly routine is good every so often #zesty.

Thanks <@U061P7HUFRR> for the opportunity to Q <#C02PN2Z6QV8>!

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.
