Q: Buns of Steel, Bubbles, Black Jack, The Plague

Buns welcomed 12 PAX to a brisk morning at Cornhusker Handicap. This is F3 – Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. F3 is a national network of free, peer-led workouts for men. Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
Core principles:

1. Are free of charge
2. Are open to all men
3. Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
4. Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary
5. End with a Circle of Trust

Disclaimer: Buns of Steel, Bubbles, Blackjack & The Plague are not a professionals – PAX need to modify as necessary.

• Groups alternated after each round; completed a total of 5 rounds

The Thang – The Plague

PAX stayed in their two groups for the thang led by The Plague.

• Group 1: Push Group – completed reverse pyramid at the tower
  • 3 sets increasing in reps from 5, 10, 15 of Donkey Kicks, Australian Mountain Climbers and Chicken Peckers

  • 50 LBCs
  • 50 Jump Tucks

  • 50 Bonnie Blairs
• Each group got to complete the reverse pyramid once
• Next the PAX stopped in the field to perform 5, 10, 15 reps of a few exercises for Brazilian:
  • Drinking Bird Squats – The Plague demonstrated one of these but they’re not really an exercise we just wanted to give Brazilian a hard time for his poor form
  • Pickle Pushers
  • Oh Yeahs

The Post-Thang – Blackjack

PAX moseyed to the benches for a post-thang with Blackjack

• 3, 6, 9, 12 reps of the following exercises
  • Dips + Plank Jacks
  • Merkins + Bonnie Blairs

Omaha was called and PAX moseyed to the flags for Rancid-style American Hammers

Circle of Trust:

• Buns of Steel talked about his experience as a Site-Q and expressed gratitude for being able to lead the PAX at Cornhusker. He then shared how he selected Blackjack as his successor. Blackjack has been accelerating, consistent, and showed interest in taking over a site. When Buns realized his injury was not going to heal he had more conversations with Blackjack and identified him as the next Site-Q at Cornhusker.
• YHC has a long history with Buns so this is really funny to me – he’s always been the funny guy. We were in nursing school together and he was in my wedding so I was waiting for him to make some sort of joke.
• Buns also explained that it’s kind of like Tanya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan because his last healthy workout was one that Blackjack led..not that Blackjack injured Buns, per se, but you get the point. Everyone laughed, cheered and Blackjack said a few words of thanks before Buns closed out in prayer.
• Blackjack made a key point – we’re all leaders for a season and do the best we can during that time. We’re grateful for Buns and his leadership at Cornhusker!!
