Due to Skidz moving to CO/UT for a month, snuck in a surprise, early 1 year celebration with the man who EH’d Skidz, Eartag.
The flight suits were left in the closet, but after a quick deliberation the night before decided to run back the same workout from a year earlier.
Skidz welcomed the Pax promptly at 515am to F3 and introduced Eartag as Co-Q – reminding them of the mission to Plant, Grow and Serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Skidz went on to cover the 5 core principles of F3.
1) Open to ALL men.
2) Always Free.
3) Always held outdoors.
4) Led in a rotating fashion.
5) Ends with a Circle of Trust (COT).
Skidz asked if there were any FNGs and there were 2 hands that were raised.
Welcome to Corin and Jeff (respect).
Eartag then went on to explain that even though Skidz and himself may look like experts; they are most definitely not and to modify the exercise suggestions if/as necessary. Eartag then instructed the PAX to mosey to the 50 yard line and circle up for Warm-o-rama.
Warm-o-rama:
Skidz announced that today the Warm-o-rama would be Sexy-Warm-A-Rama. Eartag tried to yell out the exercises over the way-too-loud speaker that Skidz had bought from a Slickdeals (JCMP) recommendation.
Sexy-Sing-o-rama consisted of the following with Eartag and Skidz alternating the Q:
- DC Propers (20 IC)
- Monkey Humpers (20 IC)
- Oh Yeahs (20 IC)
- Pickle Pushers (20 IC)
The PAX then lined up down on the goal line and proceeded to the thang.
The Thang:
Skidz instructed the PAX that the exercise will begin with ‘Afterburners’. Afterburners are 200 yard sprints – goal line to goal line back to your original goal line. Skidz then mentioned the workout sheet to follow the ladder.
Eartag detailed that the exercise was a ladder that built on each workout up to the 50 rep interval.
- 200 yard sprint (and in between each ladder)
- 5 burpees
- 200 yard sprint and so on
- 10 – frogger – 5 yards out and 5 yards back
- 15 diamond merkins
- 20 carolina dry docks
- 25 merkins
- 30 mountain climbers
- 35 bobby hurleys
- 40 air squats
- 45 LBC
- 50 American Hammers + Plank to 6.
The workout built so that the PAX started with the 200 yard sprint, then 5 burpees, then the 200 yard sprint, then 10 frogger jumps + 5 burpees, then 200 yard sprint, then 15 diamond merkins + 10 frogger jumps + 5 burpees, then the sprint, and so on.
During the workout PAX requested flybys and buzzed the tower that was playing top gun songs and other great workout songs for the enjoyment of all.
The group almost made it to the hammers, when Omaha was called.
Mary:
Skidz led the PAX with Sarpy Slammers for a short Mary and we moved into Name-o-rama.
Name-o-rama showed 17 PAX and 2 FNGs in attendance.
2 FNGs were named Scoobs and PVC. YHC and Eartag profusely apologize for these terrible names and hope that these two men have stuck with F3.
Announcements and Prayers were received.
COT: Skidz shared thoughts on staying grounded in what matters to you, your family, your community. Be present in the moment, stay grounded, stay focused.
Eartag closed us out in prayer.
Aye
Skidz and Eartag
