(04.26.21) DOD Zombie edition


AO: > Lightning Rod

QIC: > Bunny

PAX: > Giggles, Herbie, Kiwi, Samurai, Free Lunch, Ghost, Danish



CONDITIONS

> 8 PAX to kick off the week. About 45 and dry – great conditions.

Warm Up (Circle of Pain)

  • SSH x 25 IC
  • Third Grade Exercise x 12 IC
  • Windmills x 15 IC
  • Slow High Knees x 15 IC
  • Donkey Kicks x 10 IC (each leg)
  • Arm Circles x 20 IC

The THANG

DOD. Hearts/Merkins (easy count), Diamonds/Incline Merkins (easy count), Spades/Squats (hard count), Clubs/Lunges (hard count), and Jokers/ 12 burpees.

Since we have some VQs this month, and more to come soon, I wanted to give all pax a chance to try out calling exercises IC and getting a feel for the Q. The person that draws the card calls cadence. It went great – I think that every one of the pax present today will eventually lead a kickass Q.

Tried to get through it all, but time and burpees kicked our ass – we left off with 4 cards remaining and a minute to spare.

Moleskin

Stepping outside your comfort zone to get where you want to be

Discussed the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone/taking risks, and trying to do at least one thing truly uncomfortable everyday. Every single one of the pax today did this by coming to F3 and continuing to grow as HIMs. Talked about taking some risk in life – without risk there is safety, but no reward. All pax had some good insights/stories/examples to share.

I am really impressed at how this group has grown and retained a sense of fellowship, with everybody adding something different and positive – just a great group of guys. Really makes getting up at 5am worth it.

COT

The mission of F3 is to Plant, Serve, and Grow men’s small workout groups to reinvigorate male community leadership. This happens day by dad – brick by brick. Each time you take the DRP and show up, you lay another brick and keep getting closer to PRO and becoming a HIM. We find someone faster than ourselves and chase them, every day.

Great work! Walkman

The importance of being missional and setting goals to meet that mission

Discussed the need for setting goals, to be a man on mission, leading towards ‘getting right’ and being better men, husbands, fathers, co-workers, neighbors. Highlighted the accountability tools we have in place for meeting these goals (GO30)

Spoke into encouragement to seeking more in oneself through these goals and being there for the group.

Bringing Sally Up!


AO: > Lightning Rod

QIC: > Walkman

PAX: > Danish, Bunny, Giggles, Free Lunch, Quads, Kiwi, Slash, Ghost



CONDITIONS

> You could tell it was warmer (45ish) this morning as we all hung out in the courtyard longer than usual before getting started. 9 Pax including an FNG to end the week right!

Warm Up (Circle of Pain)

Mosey to 52nd and down through the lower baseball field to the center of the football field. Windmill x 12, Slow high Knees x 12, Imperial Walkers x 12, Third Grade Exercise x 12, Monkey Humpers x 12.

The THANG

The Pax completed a series of movements to the workout song “Bring Sally Up”. It’s 3 minutes and 24 seconds long, featuring extended holds in the down position. This was a U vs. U morning. The PAX was strong and fought hard through each one! We completed:

Merkins (I think Slash finished this one all the way through)

Squats (I think a few guys finished this one all the way through)

Dips (I don’t think anyone finished this one all the way through)

Lunges (several finished this one)

Pull ups (these ended up being more painful on grip/forearms than expected)

6MOM

Bring Sally up with 6 inch leg lifts as the down position and leg raises (vertical) as the up.

Plank x 30 to finish it off

Moleskin

5 core tenets of an F3 workout

  • Always Free
  • Open to men of all fitness levels
  • Rain or shine
  • Peer led – no special requirements
  • Circle of Trust to wrap it up

Shared the Q source quadrants of Get Right, Live Right, Lead Right, and Leave Right. Discussed the Daily Red Pill and that freedom is the pre-determined ‘what’ that allows the complete focus on the ‘how’.
