  • Gimme a minute – from Hokie

    YHC reached out yesterday to ask who was coming and what was an exercise they would like to get better performing.

    War Eagle asked for squats
    Charmin asked for Merkins

    The three of us gathered this AM for a warm up of opening and closing the gate to get ready for squats; large arm rotations along with slow merkins to get the shoulders and chest ready for merkins

    The THANG

    Just 1 minute of an exercise at a time so the pax was encouraged to work on form

    1. Hang from Monkey bars
    2. Squat to target
    3. No cheat merkins (hand release at bottom and shoulder taps at top)
    4. Backwards mosey

    Rinse and repeat for a total of 10 rounds

  • Can you see it? – from Charmin

    Today was all about seeing. Seeing 16 PAX show up, seeing Rudy not read the “No Parking”, and YHC and others seeing how hard we could push ourselves in the gloom.

    Typical, KnOTers, Stretchers, and Runners were there.

    Ended with COT emphasizing that we are all figured a spiritual battle and asked for our guardian angels’ help.

  • Consistency – Unchanging In Nature, Standard Or Effect Over Time – from Charmin

    With Q Source being directly after this beatdown, YHC reflected on the fact that results are often brought about through Consistency. There was the normal group of KnOTers, Kennah Brah as the Lone Rucker, and a handful of Runners. Everyone did their own thing at their own pace and made it back to the Shovel Flag for the COT, where we prayed for numerous family and friends who are suffering right now.

  • 3 Steps Forward and 1 Step Back – from Charmin

    Warm up:

    15 SSH
    10 Grass grabbers
    10 neck rolls (on your own)
    10 of each arm circles forward, bacwards, seal claps, t-claps, chinooks, and mnc’s.
    14 kid n plays ( a new one Russo on the Northshore came up with, where it’s a backward lunge followed by a high knee extension to the front)

    Mission check: penalty 5 burpees.

    “To plant grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.”

    I won’t say who, but the group did have to do 10 burpees.

    10 mountain climbers
    5 merkins (focus on perfect form)

    The thang

    Run forward three light poles – backwards walk one (back towards light pole #2)

    When get to playground (which took longer than expected), 7 perfect form merkins

    Exercise equipment, where each Pax picked a piece of equipment and YHC was the timer of 10 big boys. Rotate counter clockwise until all exercises were done.

    2nd half of lap is run forward two light poles and backwards walk forward to 3rd lightpole (lit lights only).

    YHC posed a question of how are we striving to fulfill the mission of F3 in our daily lives.

    Get back to start we planked until all pax shared how they are and will strive to advance the mission of F3.

    Ended with 10 perfect form merkins at the flag.

    In prayer, YHC mentioned that the Lord calls us to perfection, and often, once we complete something easy we are asked to complete something more difficult. The goal is to always push forward and complete the mission.

  • Never Forget – from Bolt

  • Back to School Thursday – from Hokie

    Only 5 Pax (Charmin, two Yutes, Kenner Brah, Hokie, tenderloin) made it out in the cool 85° morning to run, ruck or KnOT

  • Runner, walker, and KNoTers – from Charmin

    In a rare turn of events, we had no Ruckers, YHC was the only runner, and Hokie didn’t have his shoes KNoTted properly.

    Overall this workout was about putting our noses to the grindstone, doing what we are called to do, and trusting that we would all show up back at the flag at 6:15.

    COT ended with prayers for conforming ourselves to the will of God, knowing we have both temporal advocates, but also an Eternal Advocate, and praying for a HIM and his family.
