Boot camp style workout.
Typical routine: warm-up with Merkins, stretching, side-straddle-hops, etc. Then proceed to the playground equipment and/or field for running mixed with strength training. Finish off with the C.O.P (circle of pain) for merkins, planks, ab work, supermans, etc.
SATURDAYS always followed up with 2nd F (fellowship) at Executive Diner on Sylvania.
The Executive Diner Oasis Bowl
12 PAX: (Q) Jimmy Dean, Patriot, Huffy, Gap, Dauber, Hustle, Flo, Romano, Avalanche, Socrates, Rocko, Poodle
After going over the mission of F3 and the 5 core principles, the PAX got to work. The Executive Diner Oasis Bowl commenced a touch late with YHC yelling at the PAX to get out to the field and circle up so we could get moving.
The running back drills went off without a hitch, just a lot of mumble chatter about how the Q made them do too many burpees or lunges or whatever. We all got stronger anyway.
The passing drills became much more impressive as there was less complaining and more cheering for the amazing catches some of the PAX had. The halftime adjustments went over well with the only mumble chatter being thankfulness for the Pickle Pounders. Apparently, many men were out of practice at home.
The second half saw much improvement as we split into teams and played two-hand touch schoolyard football. The odds versus evens with the evens coming out on top with a last-minute throw and catch from Huffy to Hustle for the win. After that, we circled up.
Next was COR and NOR. Our KT6 was Rocko, and he shared his gratefulness for the group and how the accountability of the group has brought him from 1 day a week to 3 days a week.
In the COT, prayers were lifted up for Venezuela and the situation there.
Always an honor to lead this group of men! Aye!
THE THANG
Pre-Game Warm-Up

1st Quarter
Partner running drills – one person carries football to far cone and back, other person does BLIMPS exercises until partners do full count
Burpees x 100
LBC x 100
Imperial Walkers x 100
Merkins x 100

PAX also took turns carrying a cinder block down and back one time before passing it down the line. The F3 “football” made it down the line and back, resulting in each PAX carrying it two times.
2nd Quarter
Receiver drills – 1 person is QB 1 is receiver. Receiver runs route and QB tries to throw a complete pass. Incomplete pass = 5 burpees for QB & Receiver. The pair then changed roles.
While each pair was doing their passing drills, the rest of the PAX did miscellaneous exercises while we waited our turns: LBCs, windshield wipers, Burt Reynolds, etc.
