As promised a never done before F3 workout Indoors! Basketball full Court!!

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Warm Up: Moseyed to indoor Basketball gym.

Stood on Baseline for the Pledge of All Allegiance

Workout: We had exactly 20 so we divided up into 4 groups and played 2 separate games of full court 5 on 5. We rotated after halfway. I don’t think our ball skills were very sharp in the beginning. Most of the PAX got better as time progressed except for Guatemalan. He pretty much stood in the same place every time and asked for the ball.

I know sometimes we do a lot of the same things every week. Thought this would be fun to mix it up a bit. Those that shined like @pumps because he has skills and @Fram the rest made up for it in fouls and large bodies pushing and shoving. Thank God we did not call fouls today. I would have fouled out before the second game…BTW I am pretty sure my Team won both games @bobby bouche @deadbolt @mookie @maddog. Next time we play @banannaseat will be on a 3-man team due to his speed!

 

Mary: No Time

T Claps: Bosshog and the new addition to the Family! Congratulations

Prayers: Thanks for the prayer support for my Mom. Our Country, Injured PAX, 3rd cousin who took a dive OTW back. Hope he is okay!

Honoring all responders in the 9/11 attacks!

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

16 PAX got out this am and Honored those of 9/11 at Disney. We reflected on 9/11 and the rich history and heritage of FDNY. Truly sad that so many lost their lives that day. We honored them with our workout.

FNG: Welcome (David) TomTom

Warn Up: Had several pieces of fire hose that the PAX picked up. Moseyed to the end of PVA. SSH IC to 20. Good morning and cotton pickers all while I was giving facts of 9/11.

 

Workout: Moseyed over to PVA near football field. More 9/11 facts while we did squats, Frankenstein’s and we paired up for a patty cake merkins around PVA.

Next up we headed over to the side of the school. Here we learned that FDNY Ladder-3 lost the most firefighters assigned to this Fire Station. 27 was the number for wall sits and BTW. Moseyed over to the steps in the parking lot where I nominated Fanny Pack to pick 5 people. Once this was done we went up the stairs and moseyed over to the tennis courts. Here I had hidden 5 Scott Air Packs with the bottles. Those lucky 5 were the winners of wearing these packs the rest of the workout. This was to make everyone aware of what it takes to wear this for long periods of time…and we did not even have on any gear. Once everyone donned their air packs we moseyed down the stairs over to the High School Parking Lot. I had 6 sections of hoses. We broke off in 2 groups at opposite ends of the PVA. Exercises were done while the group pulled the hose to the end of the lot…there we switched up. Keep in mind that we were still caring the hose on our shoulders. We did 2 rounds of this and pulled all 6 sections 50’ long over to the Abyss. Here YHC had lights set up on the steps where we traveled them top to bottom and did exercises at the top.

 

Mary: We did several exercises all while learning facts of 9/11.

 

My message was it never gets old helping others. The feeling and reward are great. Those first responders responded selfishly to help others not knowing so many would lose their lives on 9/11.

In this job you have a sense of fulfillment & purpose. You have a higher purpose and you have stuck up for the people around you. You have served the richest and poorest. Seen people at their worst. Firefighting is really one of those egalitarian careers that looks out for all.

 

Bottom line I get paid to ride a Big Red Firetruck!!

Prayers: Pots has a cousin needing prayers.

 

Thanks for allowing me to lead this morning.

1776 – Celebration of Freedom

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

There are lots of ways one might choose to celebrate the freedom that we so often take for granted. The F3 way is to have a brutal beatdown that serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free – it was purchased and preserved by countless patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 (NLT)

YHC is truly grateful for my F3 brothers who push me to become a better version of myself – physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks for the push to get through the 1,776 reps! Keep up the great work HIM and keep pushing each other!

14 PAX and 8 Respect at Kung POW!

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , , , , , ,

Q #4 this week. I had a lot of support from repeat PAX and I appreciate that. I actually pulled this off site work out from Deadbolt from about a year ago.

FNG: Nope

Workout: We left the PVA and headed to towards Harris Teeter. We stopped every so often and did a number of warm ups along the route. We moseyed to the left of Town Hall Burger and we did a triangle workout.

At bottom of hill 10 IC monkey humpers-top of hill 5 burpees-behind shopping center 10 IC Merkins. Rinsed and Repeated 4 times. Ended up with 20 IC shoulder taps.

Thanks to Salty Pots we Indian Run 4 corners of parking lot split up into 2 groups performing random exercises all the way around for 2 times.

Started to head back and at every light pole we stopped and did a IC 10 count various exercises. Apparently I was not clear enough for every light pole, so I made it clear and we stopped at pole and did an exercise. This light pole workout was compliments of Dauber who made us do this at Kenny’s Grave in the rain.

Mary: Circled up for various exercises and stretching.

Announcements: Picnic tomorrow 11:00 am.

T-Claps: Woody who has been killing it! Gillette for coming out with injury. Pots for the support and EC all week running! Way to Be!!

Prayers: All those still missing in the collapse of the building in Florida. Injured PAX!
