Today is my 4th day in a row Qing.  I had to keep begging, umm Bugging the Crossroads channel to get some HCs and bribe them with Donuts since that is the trick that Westside used to get more Pax to come to his Q.  It worked as I got some of the hardest working Pax to come out and get a great 0.0 style beat down.

Warm-o-rama – Mosey around the parking lot, SSH x 15, Weed Picker x 10, Imperial walker x 15, sun gods and MPs

Workout – This was a 4 corner workout with a coupon (Cinderblocks). Each Exercise below is performed at each designated corner with your coupon.  You have to carry your coupon to each designated corner.  In addition, there is on Pax that is carrying a 60lb sandbag on his shoulders around the avery elementary parking lot and waiting for the next pax to take it away from him.

Exercises with coupon:

  • Arm Curls x 10
  • Overhead  press x 10
  • big boys x 10
  • Single arm lifts x 10 (each arm)
  • Merkins x 10
  • Dips x 10
  • Cinderblock swings x 10
  • Cinderblock side swings x 10
  • Squats x 10
  • Lunge/arm curl/overhead press x 10
  • Man Makers x 10

Everyone got to carry the 60lb sandbag twice.  Pelosi got to do 2 man makers before we ran out of time.  We put our coupons back and headed back to the flag.  With 90 seconds left to spare, we did Flutter kicks x 15 and LBC x 20.  During COT we had a prayers request for Legionaries and Brooking families which both lost someone recently.  No coffee but we had munchkins donuts for coffeeteria.

Why the sandbag?  I am glad you asked!  The sandbag represents the burden that we as men carry on our shoulders.  The burden can be big or small but we as men always carry something.  It can be something like a family problem, stress at work, money problems or anything that we men put up and deal with.  This is why we can’t just give our burden to someone else (hence you cannot give the sandbag to someone), we as F3 men are here for each other to help with the burden we men carry.  A Pax must be open to trust your F3 brothers, talk about your burdens, so we can help to take that burden from you.  F3 is being there for each other, and helping anyway we can.  (Except for Homeboy, he just throws his burden to the ground and continues exercising)
