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.
Special location for the officer Dia tribute convergence: Bushwood
Pre-ruck led by the Sherpa of all Sherpas: Dauber
68 men showed up to support a great cause; fallen officer Dia.
As a group we raised over $5,000 to assist his family in their time of need. We were fortunate to have a few officers from TPD join the workout as well.
As I stood in the circle to kick of the festivities I was caught in a moment of realizing the power of the group I was lucky to not only belong to, but to help lead. It is incredible to witness an idea that was said following a beatdown become the event it was.
I had 4 Co-Qs (who someone got out of writing this) that were instrumental in the success of the stations. The stations (and creators were):
1. In the Amphitheater with Bob Vance, Vance Refrigeration. Brutal climb to the top featuring exercises at each level and box jumps to ascend.
2. Splinter’s Hill- Dora style workout with hill climbs while your partner worked
3. The angle grinder with Rubble- ascending ladder introducing the angle grinder and alternated with walking lunges.
4. Cadence with the King of Cadence, Klinger- Just as it sounds. Great cadence, solid reps, clean form
5. Minnie sprints- exercises performed in a group followed by a 20-40-60 yd suicide.
We counted off after intro and each of the Qs stayed with a group and toured them around Bushwood. We did 8-10 minutes at each station and rotated as group.
Count was 68 that includes 6 FNGs. That number also includes 13 members of F3 Black Swamp (shoutout to their Nantan Gepetto for rallying his troops).
Powerful 6 by our fist nantan and the immaculate headlock, The Colonel. Always appreciate his words and perspective as he has watched this machine grow for a few men to a few hundred.
Flo closed us in prayer and we asked for healing in the world.
