5 strong 💪 today for what seemed more like a mid-morning workout than an early morning workout given how bright the sun was shining. Fishing boats were out in full force and we even got to see the off loading of of some of the catch near the end of the workout. YHC did not have much of a plan for the workout which is unusual but it turned out to be ok. So very grateful to be able to do what we did today.

Warm up:
Hillbillies IC
Grady Corn IC
Seal jacks IC (stop after the 2nd as YHC learned it is not a good idea to do seal jacks with a phone in your pocket.)

The thang:
Mosey… mosey to the parking lot. Do 10 jumps over a line and 10 lbc + leg extensions… then 9… 8… first one calls it.
Mosey thru some very old buildings… wall sit.
Mosey past another group doing IC workouts at the Customs House Plaza. Respect gentlemen!
Mosey some more to the wharf. 10 arm raises & 10 mike tysons… 9… 8… first one calls it.
Mosey some more to other wharf. Squats & Al Gores…. 10, 9, 8….
Mosey to sea wall. Wall sits and planks.
Mosey back to start.

COT:

We filmed some Happy Birthday wishes to our friend GRS….
YHC mentioned episode 581 or the Rich Roll podcast and his ask me anything response to leadership. It was spot on.

Leave a comment

Q:Beach

Disclaimer given

7 Pax on a wet (but not raining) morning. Our guest (Ferrari) from F3PugetSound posted again this morning before leaving town.

Warmups: SSH x 40 IC; Mosey to softball field parking lot; Imperial Walkers x 20 IC; Hillbillies x 20 IC; Copperhead Squats x 15 IC; Bat Wings x 15 IC. Cleveland Rocks suddenly became hard of hearing when Q called for Bat Wings.

The Thang:

Merkin Mountain OYO with Incline Merkins & Dips on the bleachers. Bleachers have 15 rows of seats. Start at bottom. First seat=1 Incline Merkin/15 Dips. Second seat=2 Incline Merkins/14 Dips. Continue in this fashion until you reach the top. Start over at the bottom until the 6 finishes. Q called it after half of Pax finished. Completion of all rows = 120 each of Incline Merkins and Dips.

To the softball field. Railroad Tracks around the bases. Stopped at 2nd base for SSH x 30, then continued to 3rd and home plate.

Circle up for Xs & Os until Q calls it.

Round the bases again, stopping at each base for 25 Big Boy Situps + 25 Gas Pumps. Karaoke between bases. OYO. Ran out of time and Q called it half way through. Mosey back to flag.

Line in the sand

Leave a comment

We drew a line in the sand today and crossed it a bunch of times. It was cold for an April morning at home, but at the beach it was beautiful. Micro-climates at its best.

Warm Up:
LBCs
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers

The Thang:
Mosey to a the line in the sand that had a nice F3 logo drawn in it. Though some could not tell it was the F3 logo. Sand art… not my specialty I guess.
Do 15 Rowers, run to other line in the sand, mosey back to pick up the six, cross the other line in the sand together
No do 15 Mike Tysons and run back to the other line in the sand and pick up the six. Repeat for 10 minutes.
Now do same thing but reduce reps to 10. Repeat for 10 minuts.
Again do same thing but reduce reps to 5. Repeat for 10 minutes.

Mosey to the wall for wall sits, planks and mumble chatter.

Count & Name-o-rama

We chatted a bit about Q source.:
King – exercise (to prepare for not just the expected but the unexpected)
Queen – diet (“You can’t out king your queen”)
Jester – The Jester is the temptation of the flesh that hinders Acceleration. It is that one stumbling block (amongst the many available) that a man finds himself tripping over repeatedly before he turns Pro. No matter how strong his Routines are that support his King and Queen, if he fails to Prepare for his Jester he will not be able to Get Right. Unimpeded, the Jester will undo his hard work and destroy his proper personal alignment.  

Do you know what your jester is?  Identifying it can help you prepare for the Jester as Preparedness keeps the Jester at bay
