AO: Hacksaw


Conditions: Chilly, clear skies on this “31”st day of the year

The Thang – Rock Around the Blocks

It is the 31st day of the year. All exercises add up to 31 (as in the COP (more burpees below)). PAX circle up in a large circle about 6 feet apart with their blocks. Music selections by the Q all have the word “Rock” in them. Exercises done in succession. Initially no breaks but as complaining and inability to breathe grew, active recovery was done with a walk around the blocks and/or 10 count.

31 reps each exercise…

Squats with calf raises with block on back

Curls

Left leg on upright block, lean to the right squat down on right leg (These should be called Captain Morgans but that title is taken already by a exercise done in plank)

Reverse it with right leg on block

Curls

Bulgarian Split squats with left foot on upright block

Repeat with right foot on block

Curls

Rock around the Blocks…done to the tune of “Rock around the Clock” by Bill Halley and the Comets, Bear crawl around the circle, do a Merkin everytime you hear the work “Rock”. Of note, merkin rep count was 34 if you did them all.

Squats with calf raises, no block

Bent over Rows

Repeat Q’s version of the ‘Capt Morgan’ as described above

Bent over Rows

Lt. Dans…split into 16 count and 15 count with a walk around the blocks in between as the PAX legs were toast

Bent over Rows

Rock around the Block – same tune as before but this time PAX in plank position with feet on block and hand walk themselves around their block doing a merkin everytime they hear the word “Rock”.

21 Burpees to complete 31

QIC noted how much suffering, death, prayers for healing, cancer have been heard at posts. It seems more and more new requests are heard each week to go along with the continued requests. Hebrews 2:17-18 says we have person in Jesus who Christ who is there for those who are suffering as He too did the same. And as the hands and feet of Christ, we as Christians are to be there for those around us that are hurting. Q encouraged all to look for opportunities to help those who are suffering in any way they can to show the love of Christ to others.


Moleskin

The mumble chatter started from the get go with the disclosure. QIC mentioned that if anyone did get injured that he would check out their uterus and then get them to their car or call for help. Much mileage gained by that comment throughout the beatdown. Several PAX stated their uterus fell out. One noted that he thought his just “broke”. Numerous groans of pain, “this is awful”, “how did you come up with this” and “please don’t do this again”. “Fun time” had by all.

    I shared the story of Shrek the sheep. Shrek got away from his shepherd and lived alone in caves and the forest for six years. During those 6 years he became thick with wool. When he returned to his shepherd, a professional sheared Shrek’s thick wool coat and it weighed 60lbs. A normal sheep will produce 10 to 15lbs of wool. By going away from the shepherd Shrek carried a burden that was 5 to 6 times what would have had to carry.

    Shrek paints a very important picture for our relationship with God. If we turn to the father he will carry our burdens for us, as is described in Matthew chapter 11. In F3 we have a support system of fellow PAX that will share our burdens as well.

    Matthew 11:28-30 “Come all to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

    “I hate ladders” by someone at the very beginning of The Thang.
    “I thought he said mosey not sprint” by someone on the mosey warm up lap!
    There were several “I hate burpees!” from the pax.
    “If we forget whether we were on 9 or 10 burpees, should we do the extra one just in case?” — Backpew
    “Of course you should!” — Clothespin

      Lets roll 5s
      Setup 4 stages with 4 workouts at each stage. Set up yard dart game in-between 2 of the stages with a heater to the side. At each stage everyone rolls a dice. If you roll a 5 everyone at that stage does 5 burpees. Starting at stage 1 you do 1 rep each. Mosey to the next stage and do 1 rep each until all stages completed. Rinse and repeat but add one rep every time around. At each stage everyone rolls a dice. If you roll a 5 everyone at that stage does 5 burpees. At any point you want to warm your hands you can take a turn at the yard dart game. If you hit the circle everyone does 5 burpees while you sit by the heater until they finish. If you miss you do 5 thrusters.

      Took the time to thank the men for showing up in this miserable gloom to workout with me. Being a part of the F# Nation even though I can only come on the Saturday workout has been a great experience.


      Moleskin

      We rolled 5s 18 times at the stages and yard darts added 3 more times. We completed 5 rounds of the stages. The pax stayed together which was nice for a small group in 19° weather. The goal for a large group would be for each pax member to go at their own pace which allows each pax member to make their workout match their fitness level. Also, this allows a random member to come into a stage and roll the dice. With that you could be half way through your stage and someone shows up and adds burpees to your round. This should push pax members to finish before a new person shows up to roll the dice. We did hard count on the 4 way lungs which sucks and should be modified. I had intentions of playing a soccer style game with a 6ft beachball I brought but the cold weather made the plastic brittle and it cracked before we ever started. This with be something for another day! I was surprised how eager the Pax was to get to 100 burpees. Don’t underestimate the amount of suck someone will go through to make another Pax member do burpees haha!

        I shared the passages below from a devotional book I was gifted recently.

        “Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing o fyour faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.” – James 1:2-4

        ”Kids need to see faith on display. If they see doubt, fear, and negativity in our lives, they will model that – and likely suffer some unhapy days as a result. But if we hold our heads high during adversity, we teach our children how to respond rightly when adversity comes their way – as it surely will.”

        The above passage applies to us as fathers but also still holds true to us as husbands, friends, and coworkers. If we act negatively, whether consciously or subconsciosly, we will feed others with negativity. If we approach life and all its trials and tribulations with a positive mindset, others will feed off of that and be more inclined to respond with a similar attitude. Our children are sponges and soak up every ounce of what we present to them. They will be representations of how we act and hold ourselves. So too are those we hang around and choose to associate with. If we choose to hang around those that approach life with a doubtful and fearful mindset, we will most likely find ourselves emulating these feelings. I challenged the PAX to surround themselves with those that promote a healthy, happy, positive approach to life (such as that which can be found at any F3 beatdown) and continue to spread that throughout their days.

          Friday fill-ins are fun (alliteration, amiright?) – will we do the same thing as Wednesday? Will it be something completely brand new and earth-shattering? Or, way more likely, will YHC shamelessly duplicate another workout (with some mods) from a recent post?

          For this routine, PAX were advised to focus on form and not worry about # of sets – some of them took this to mean they need only apply minimal effort, which was promptly struck down – underachieving does not equal solid, hard work (TWSS)

          The Workout that is much better with music, but no music was provided:
          13 of each:
          Merkins
          Air Lifters (somebody’s gotta raise this roof)
          Leg Lifts (Heels to Heaven, Kamala Harrises, et al.)
          BBS
          Plank Jacks
          Dips – these can be a partner exercise, should you need more resistance (and have a willing partner… TWSS)
          Squats
          Lunges

          Do 13 reps of each, take a lap on the inner loop, then do 12, then 11… down to 1 – be sure to take a lap after each set (this is a Full Moon Q, after all). Most PAX got through the set with 6 reps of the exercises, while the overachievers absolute units (cough, AOL, Mayhem, Toe Tag, cough) got through 5, maybe 4

          Patience and being present, especially with 2.0’s. YHC’s kiddos are amazing all the way around (no bias), but they sure know how to press buttons. Being patient and letting them work through feelings/outbursts/etc. is much easier, eventually, than exacerbating the situation by blowing up. Regarding being present: it’s all to easy at the end of a long day to just sit and peruse the ole phone (esp. on Friday’s with Pro’s Wordle commentary…) but, you know what’s way more fun? Cooking fake food and mixing fakes drinks with the 2.0’s for a fake party they are putting on later – cheers.

          Be patient. Be present. Be kind. Enjoy life and the people around you.

            The Thang

            We began with an exercise pilfered from Burrito – PAX were advised any complaints should be forwarded, with haste, to his attention. The exercise, “Custer’s Last Stand”, is a modified Indigenous Peoples’ Run wherein the 6 executes a burpee before running the opposite direction of the line. Remaining PAX run, per usual** – whoever is at the back of the line upon opposite-direction-runner’s return performs a burpee before taking off in opposite direction. We did this for 3 or 4 (maybe?) laps and so that every PAX was able to enjoy some alone time in the opposite direction.

            Upon completion, the next round of exercises was a (drumroll, please…)


            Completely Original Dora

            PAX paired up and performed the below:

            200 Merkins

            200 Squats (for jelly-legs when running)

            200 Imperial Walkers, hard count (for even jellier-legs whilst running)

            Some combination of 200 Shoulder Taps (hard count) and/or 200 Heel Touches (hc). It was too cold to de-glove and unlock phone to know which was next, so PAX did what they wanted – freedom! (Not sure these were finished as no one could math today – must’ve been the cold)

            Attitude. Specifically that it is one of the few things we can control in this hectic world of ours. Similar to YHC’s word back at Legacy, we can chose how we react to just about anything we encounter. Try to begin each day with a positive attitude and keep it, best you can, throughout the day. Also be mindful of it around others, particularly your 2.0’s (thanks for the assist, iLean), as you mold them into the strong men & women you hope they will become.

              Shared a little snippet of wisdom from the book “Life is Messy” The idea in the book is that comfort should only be used when necessary. Comfort is a beautiful servant, but an ugly master. Comfort can be just as addicting as any other addiction out there. Challenged myself and the PAX to keep growing and stay uncomfortable. As I was saying this, cold winds were blowing in our face, so we clearly had no trouble staying uncomfortable this morning….

              Gave Lanyard a hard time for not being on AOQ duty….but not too hard of a time.

              My goal was to keep the PAX warm given the sub-20 weather outside. Considering that halfway through Hey Buddy had only a short-sleeved shirt on, I guess that goal was met.

              Murder bunnies were a big hit….as always…..honestly though, much less complaining than I anticipated given my own thoughts of the beatdown at the moment.

                  After COP around the flags the Q had the PAX meet him at the Yellow starting pole.
                  The yellow pole was the starting point for the Dive Bomber Mile. PAX would complete 12 Dive Bombers at the yellow pole the run the 1/4 mile circle that goes between the dog parks. Rinse and repeat 4 times to complete a mile and 48 Dive Bombers. (Ssshhhh don’t tell them it’s actually 1387′ around the circle. That makes it a little over a mile total!)

                  Once the mile was over the PAX met at the pavilion for a little Aiken Legs. Aiken Legs consists of 3 rounds of 20 squats, 20 Box Jumps, 20 Lunges and 20 SSH with no rest between. Those that finished a round first did wait on the six to start the subsequent rounds.

                  Once the legs were Aiken the PAX met in the parking lot for some Dora action which consisted of:
                  100 Gorilla Humpers (yes more legs lol)
                  200 Merkins
                  300 SSH
                  400 LBC
                  500 Imperial Walkers
                  While one partner was doing exercise the other would run/mosey the length between the cones, do two Dive Bombers, return and switch out with their partner to continue the exercises.
                  The Q did not have any expectations of finishing the Dora but wanted to push the PAX until the end.

                    PAX at each of the stations did AMRAP of what ever exercise station they were at, Timer was the runners when they returned to you, then they all went to the next station. next set of runners took off, rinse and repeat.

                    “So do not worry about tomorrow; for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

                    22 ¶ And he said to his disciples, “Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat, nor about your body, what you will put on.

                    23 For life is more than food, and the body more than clothing.

                    24 Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Of how much more value are you than the birds!

                    25 And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life?fn

                    26 If then you are not able to do as small a thing as that, why are you anxious about the rest?

                    27 Consider the lilies, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin,fn yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.

                    28 But if God so clothes the grass, which is alive in the field today, and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, how much more will he clothe you, O you of little faith!

                    YHC Talked about our mindset, not to worry about things that are out of our control, but to focus on Christ and what has been done for us. Look to Christ throughout our everyday tasks, thru all the decisions that have to be made.

                    It was a little bit warmer than it has been the least few days, most of the moisture had moved out, but we still had some mist throughout the beatdown. Mumble Chatter was a plenty, multiple conversations during the first couple thangs. the complaining really started when the second jack webbs started. the only one that the curls didn’t seem to affect was Mandela. i guess he just wakes up first thing and knock’s out 220 curls before he goes to the bathroom in the morning. i think i saw him yawn at one point. his only weekness sems to be if his hands are cold…….but in the end, we had lots of moaning and groaning with the curls, guys complaining that they had deskwork to do today and needed to be able to lift thier arms.
