The Thang

It would be great to come up with a title for this workout. How about something clever, yet accurate? Let’s go with

Multiple Rounds of Exercises
Pax are given one exercise and a rep count to do. Everyone works towards that total, but when the first pax reaches it, he announces “Recover” and all pax stop where they are and jailbreak to the opposite end of the parking lot (approximately 100 yards). The rounds were:
50 Blockees
100 Gas Pumpers with block – gas pumper with the legs, overhead extension with the block
100 Curlz for the Girlz (just the tip edition) – gripping the block in the front with just the fingers and thumb
100 Goblet Squats
100 Merkins

After running the last jailbreak, pax migrated to a wall for a round of 20 chicken peckers and a wall sit for the six.

The last 90 seconds were filled with LBCs in cadence and 15 leg raises.


COT

YHC mentioned a moment of correction another pax gave him after a previous COT (thanks to Sunscreen for the candor). Rather than (or at least in addition to) giving someone a hard time for a soft commit, make the effort to find out what’s really behind it. Is it really an a premeditated absence in search of an excuse, or is the pax truly wanting to be in the gloom and struggling with something else.


Moleskin

F3 Nation lists Flintlock as a ‘boot camp’ style workout, but that’s only because ‘exercises performed while hoping and waiting for one specific jogger’ wasn’t an option. Other joggers passed by, their qualities assessed only as “her/not her.” There might be a COT in there somewhere.

Conditions

Wet with grass trimmings everywhere. EVERY. WHERE.

We’re near Fall, but it’s August, so it feels backwards. Meaning, it was 61 degrees with some real August energy; the humidity sitting tight at 69,000%. Which is mostly wet, but mostly nice.

As with most things tracked through “the Steve” these days, here to report that the Foot Saturation Index was strong to quite strong, but no one complained about it. A great group of men here today. Trench Foot from wet grass clippings is a thing.

We discussed the specifics of the Q, responsibilities and purpose of his role and how to structure the workout. The format of cadence and why we do it the way we do.

The reasons are several: keeping the team together, exuding a presence or command of authority, provides a rhythm to pace with one another, cadence/direction helps the pax to fight through the pain of the exercise with the mind working separately from the body, not knowing the total rep count takes away any thought-process the pax may have from budgeting his physical resources at the time, a distinctive start and stop.

Finally, the disclaimer was mentioned. The disclaimer is delivered ahead of the work being done. Make sure to hit the high points:

  1. I am not a professional
  2. You know your own abilities; stay within them
  3. Check your surroundings and pay attention
  4. This is a free men’s workout group, you are here (heavy presumption) voluntarily and not by some sort of authoritative force or decree

The Thang

Simple Four Station Workout

Four cones are set out, Pax start at the first cone all with a block of their own.

Cone 1: Perform all with coupon: 10 blockees, 10 Squats, 10 Dead Lifts

Upon completion of first cone work, plank and hold for six

Move to Cone 2 – pax transport half the number of blocks at Cone 1 to Cone 2 by way of Murder Bunny. Pax without a coupon, partner carry to Cone 2

Cone 2: Assign 1 pax per block for 10 blockees; remaining pax perform Partner Merkins (10) and Carolina Dry Docks (10); plank for six

Move to Cone 3 – pax transport half the number of blocks at Cone 2 to Cone 3 by way of Murder Bunny. Pax without a coupon, partner carry to Cone 3

Cone 3: Assign 1 pax per block for 10 blockees; remaining pax perform Star Jumps (10) and Bonnie Blair’s (10); plank for six

Move to Cone 4 – pax transport half the number of blocks at Cone 3 to Cone 4 by way of Murder Bunny. Pax without a coupon, partner carry to Cone 4

Cone 4: Assign 1 pax per block for 10 blockees; remaining pax perform Mountain Climbers (10), Plank Jacks (10); plank for six

Everyone does 10 burpees OYO

Go backwards through the stations picking up blocks along the way. Same exercises performed at each. Mode of transportation stays the same.


COT

As the saying goes, “Ask 10 people their opinion on [insert anything], you’ll get 10 different answers”. I canvassed several men in F3 to provide me their opinion on “Top Tips for Leading a Workout”. Their answers were mostly similar. Intriguing. Except for the guy who wouldn’t stop talking about theme workouts!

The most common responses:

  • If you can’t do it, don’t Q it
  • Over plan what you think you might need; have a plan and have a backup plan just in case
  • Be prepared for anything
  • The Q is not about you!

The most confusing responses:
– “Don’t put too much emphasis on the COT; speak your mind”
– “the COT is more important than the workout. The Q is the ticket to speaking your mind at the end”.

Most mindful:

  • Start and End on time
  • Keep an eye on / stay with the six (Leave no Man Behind)

Clearly, there’s more than one way to go about leading which makes this so special. We are all different, have seen different things and come from different backgrounds. This is an extension of leadership. Everyone gets to add their own creative spin for the betterment of fellow man. In the end, nothing but respect, fist bumps and sweet sweet validation, and positive affirmation awaits.

Go get out there and Q it!


Moleskin

Asked Burrito to be my demonstrator pawn today. Only demonstrate, no need for him to do anything else. He literally cannot do anything without talking. Work in progress.

Burrito must have been kicked out of his house – so you might find him sleeping at AOs. If you do see him sleeping, just wake him up. That worked well this morning.

A video was made about today’s Q School — here is a preview of the bootleg version with endorsement by 2023 Hall of Famer Inductee Fred McGriff.

Partner carries are making a comeback. At one time, they were more popular than murder bunnies; why not do both at the same time?

              The Thang

              Before we began but after the Disclaimer began, YHC mentioned visiting AOs on “holidays”, which drew some instant Mumblechatter from certain Pax, and the Summer now that YHC has reentered the Education world. This was a strategic comment to be addressed later in the COT…stay tuned
              In other news, the routine below was stolen from Knox’s Drive-Thru. Running was “modified up” and the Blockees were “modified down”
              Drive Thru’s Modified Routine

              Complete all exercises in sets of 25. After each set of 25, mosey to a predetermined point.
              150 — Curls
              25 yard Mosey
              125 — Block Squats
              50 yard Mosey
              100 — Overhead Presses

              50 — Thrusters
              125 yard Mosey
              25 — Burpees


              COT

              Now, back to the “Disclaimer Comment” regarding our proverbial “holidays”. Simply put, interpretation of holidays has now become quite the comical topic in our daily grammatical semantics. Of course, most would consider certain “holidays” fairly universally celebrated in terms of “time off” such as Christmas/Independence Day etc.
              Today’s COT was neither about what we deem as holidays, nor which holidays should or should not be celebrated. Today’s COT was about the fact that most of these holidays represent some sort of historical significance, and while most of us, at the very least, recgonize or celebrate this historical significance; we are often very detached from that actual significance and it’s often by no fault of our. These historical events simply happened long before us.
              Therefor, our responsibility is to focus on the “Now” and the “Who” in which and for whom we make history. What really matters? What really matters are the “holidays” we make with those most important to us. Celebrate George Washington, cool. Are you celebrating your 2.0’s improvement in reading? Celebrate Independence Day, cool. Are you celebrating the fact you get to enjoy Independence by celebrating a random date night with your M?
              Bottom line: recognize the importance of history so we can avoid past mistake and build upon positive achievements, BUT let the celebrating of history come with those of whom you make it…

                The Thang

                It’s Valentines Day and we all know what they want…..
                Cupids Arrow?
                Pax placed their blocks at the curls cone an proceeded in a coc.. I mean clockwise direction staying tight to outside of the cones as their path. Making the shape of “Cupids Arrow”….
                The exercises along the way included:
                25 Curls to impress your date
                25 Squats with arms extending out to giver her a note or flowers
                25 Hillbilly Walkers cause you’re dancing on this date
                25 Pickle Pointers to represent post date activities
                As Pax made their way around the “arrow” the reached the married years. In true fashion they get it 1 time a year which is represented by the 25 Monkey Humpers on the other side of the “arrow” shaft.
                The Q turned on music appropriate for Valentines Day and the Pax rinsed and repeated as many times as they could until time was called. Like usual all the Pax were completely wasted at the completion of the mornings activities. Which, didn’t really last that long.

                Learn Tongue Control!!!





                As parents, husbands, leaders and friends the things we say and how we say it can influence people in many ways. It is important to bridle our tongue and control what we say and how we say it. Don’t let anger push your tongue out of control. I have a child that is special needs, has trouble sleeping and will sometimes get up in the night. When he gets up he is up. It doesn’t matter the time. I have to be careful how I respond to these situations. Me blowing up just because I am tired doesn’t help the situation it just makes it worse. I tend to wear my feelings on my sleeve and I have to be really careful to reign that in.


                Moleskin:

                This workout was harder than expected…
                I did it many more times than I expected…
                This can’t come to an end quick enough…
                Thanks for shafting us today Clothespin….
                Why is everyone posting their Strava and Apple stats that looks like penises?….

                There are many speculations as to the origin of shape we often use to depict the heart:

                If you didn’t study anatomy at all you might assume that the heart shape such that we use for Valentine’s Day cards was what was at the core of our being.

                The muscular organ that runs our body in reality is not shaped much like the heart shape at all. So where did the Valentine’s day heart come from?

                The conventional heart symbol is used to express the idea of love or adoration.  It is metaphorical in link to the human heart, with the idea that love is a feeling expressed and felt within the heart.

                The shape used is much more streamlined, simple, and frankly attractive than the lumpy fistful of muscle that is in our chests. While beautiful in its intricacy in its own way the shape is rather jumbled and confusing and would not be easily drawn or jotted on a love note.

                The heart shape we all recognize, and use originated back to an ancient plant known as the silphium. It was a species of giant fennel grown on the North African coastline near the Greek city of Cyrene. It was used as medicine, a flavoring spice, but more importantly as birth control. Because of this it was linked with sex and of course love.

                There is also speculation of it being modeled after human anatomy of the breasts or buttocks, as well as that of the water lily leaf or ivy.

                The first depiction known was in the 1250’s. It showed up in a French romance called Roman de la Poire (Romance of the pear). But others question if that wasn’t just an upside-down pear…

                Medieval art also showed some heart like shapes in the early 1300s. The famous Italian painter Giotto did a painted depiction of charity in the Scrovengi Chapel in which a heart is given to Jesus. This painting had a big impact on the use of the shape of the heart going forward in representing the human emotional range in visual form.

                Interestingly, until the later 1400s the heart was usually shown upside down. At the beginning of the 1500s it flipped in images to the heart we see today point at the bottom.

                My favorite theory however, is that it is shaped after the buttocks of a woman!!! Cause we all know that Fat Bottom Girls Make the Rocking World Go Round!!!!!

                  Some mumbling about “all you really need is Side Straddle Hops and Willie Mays Hays to get warm”, so we moseyed to the track and got ready for the Thang.

                  First, an apology to the Shot House regulars particularly those in attendance on Wednesday as I failed to honor an HC in lieu of a Heart Sack with The M.
                  Second, we preach of accountability and candor, the value of it, and how it is a very strong aspect in F3 Chattanooga. All of these things I strongly agree with; however, I also wanted to point out; that in our accountability in F3, we have something far greater. We are a group of leaders full of compassion, thoughtfulness, and empathy, and so many of our Pax know how to “read the proverbial room” in terms of helping other Pax maintain accountability. For example, whether than simply telling a guy struggling with weight or fat loss that he needs to get his butt up, workout, and eat less, we have the ability to express this same advice in the appropriate way to motivate those around us. This is a special trait. Simply put, not enough can be said for dropping copious amounts of positivity and encouragement to those around you.
