Leadership… gettin’ it

Leave a comment

A few of us had the opportunity to volunteer at a car show this weekend. YHC interacted with a person there that had authority, but did not show great leadership. This person could have been a far more effective leader if they decided to share the mission of what they were doing instead of berate YHC for doing something YHC thought was beneficial to the cause. Had this person described the why they would have had much more effective leadership across the team.

4 strong 💪 this morning for another beatdown which YHC borrowed from another persons mustard seed blast.

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.

Bandersnatch 3/31/2021

Q: Beach

Disclaimer Given

Seven pax turned out, including guest Sunshine from out of town.

Warmup: Sidestraddle Hops, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Copperhead Squats, Bat Wings. Some mumble chatter and facial anguish was observed during Bat Wings.

The Thang: Interactive workout inspired by the movie Bandersnatch. Pax determine what the workout will be. Mosey to the beach. Two lines drawn in the sand. Repeated sprints from one line to the other. Fastest pax to the other line determines the exercise and reps. Each time you are the fastest pax, you increase your sprint handicap by one burpee. Exercises chosen by pax were Bat Wings, Monkee Humpers, Copperhead Squats, Lunges, Chilcutt Peter Parkers, 1 minute Plank, Merkens, Bear Crawls, Nipplers, Burpees, Mike Tysons, Sidestraddle Hops, Don Quixotes, and Groiners. This may not be a complete list, as Q’s memory relies upon an aging brain. Mosey back to flag.

COT, Counterama, Namerama. Quote from Theodore Roosevelt was read. Announcements: DPR wins the month of March prize for posting to every workout in March (challenge and prize initiated and provided by Cleveland Rocks). The Murph Challenge is coming up, on Memorial Day.

On the tipping point

Leave a comment

Challenge went out to the PAX to go to every beatdown in Feb. We have 3 still on track for that. We are hoping to grow F3 Monterey and I think we are on the tipping point. I have to give a presentation to a group which could easily double or triple our turnout. Trying hard to give it away and this could be the thing that reaches a lot more people.

Disclaimer given

Warmup:
Grady Corn
Tea Pots
Cherry Pickers
Wind Mills
Calf Raises
Grady Corn again

The Thang:
Line up on 100 – bunny hop – every 10 yards to 5 mike tysons….

Cleveland Rocks Burpees – SSH and when it says Cleveland Rocks do a Burpee (41` ish)

100 Yard Dash then 100 SSHs, run back to start point to plank/wait for six (or catch up to 6)
75 yard dash then 75 mountain climbers
50 yard dash then 50 LBCs
25 yard dash then 25 Merkins,

Cat’s in the Cradle – Jump ‘over curb’ , and then hold al gore for: “ And the cat’s in the cradle and the silver spoon Little boy blue and the man in the moon “When you coming home, dad?” “I don’t know when” But we’ll get together then You know we’ll have a good time then”

Run to 25/ 50/ 25 /100 & back… 5 Groiner, high plank, low plank plank jack back to high plank

Bodies Hit the Floor – Merkin for each Number (1234123) and donkey kick for each body hit the floor

Run to 25, do 50 mtn climbers, run to 50… 75… 100 and that’s a wrap.

This was one of the hardest beatdowns I have Q’d in a while.
