May your pull up final test, pain train edition

AO: offthebooks
Q: morning stār , Wolfpack
PAX: morning stār, Wolfpack, Half Lyfe, Bumble bee (2.0)
FNGs: None
COUNT: 4
CONDITIONS: rainy

0600 – got going with no disclaimer, oops

WARMUP:
mosey to the 9 square bars and warm up the arm and shoulders then some stretching OYO

THE THANG:
may-you-pull-up final test

Met Charlie from the Exchange Club who was setting up for the Bellevue Clean Up day. Helped him set up and had a nice chat.
– The Bellevue Exchange Club works to support causes like ending child abuse, Americanism/Patriotism (they are the ones that set up all the flags during memorial holidays), community engagement.
– Charlie invited us to a meeting to share about F3. Said some members could use what we’re doing.

Finished our mosey back to the park.

YHC was thinking we’d be done but Wolfpack wouldn’t have it. Took turns picking an exercise for the group to do:
– bumble bee – motivators from 1 to as fast as you can go (stopped at 8)
– Half Lyfe – 10 push ups with one arm on a step
– Wolfpack – 20 mountain climbers
– YHC – carry the 20 coupons from the car to the back of the stage

Wrapped up with cafeteria, thank you Wolfpack for the brew!

MOLESKINE:
– was really cool to meet Charlie, a Bellevue statesman; excited to follow up and see where the relationship might go
– was great to slow down the pace and enjoy some extra mumble chatter

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
– taco ruck in Franklin today at 4pm at Mojos at the factory; kids welcome
– bring your kids to workout day next Tuesday at the-knoll
– f3dads workout next Saturday at 9am at green hills park

COT: YHC reflected on the power of daily focus towards one goal and how it compounds towards growth and acceleration. Invited all PAX to consider 1 thing to direct focus towards in June. Ended with a toast to the PAX present and not present and the FNGs that are to come : that we would continue to grow as men (and kids).

Mind Games

AO: pain-train
Q: Timber
PAX: Wolfpack, G-string, The Banker, Timber, Suspect, Half Lyfe, FLO, Airhead
FNGs: 1 Airhead
COUNT: 8
CONDITIONS: 60 degrees, pleasant

WARMUP: IC SSH, High Knees, BACs, Back BACs, overhead clap, seal clap, mosey to the Bellevue Middle track

THE THANG:
Station 1: Matching
8 pairs of workout cards (16 cardboard cards total) placed face down; PAX took turns flipping cards. If NO match, PAX completed both workouts; if match, PAX discarded the cards without having to complete the workout. BW squats when not completing card workout.
Station 2: KIMs game
~ 40 items laid out on the ground and PAX studied for 1 minute; items covered up after 1 minute. Each PAX had to answer a question about the “scene”, any question MISSED = 3 burpees/pullups. Round 1: 5/7 incorrect = 15 burpees. 30 more seconds to study and then 4 items removed. Round 2: 2/7 missed = 6 pullups. Shoulder press when not completing exercises.
Station 3: Ultimate Frisbee (4 v 4)

MOLESKINE: quick adjustment to park across the street when News 2 was in our parking lot. Welcome to Airhead! Team of The Banker, Wolfpack, G-string, and Suspect were Ultimate winners. Thank you to Wolfpack for the coffeeteria!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: may-you-pull-up final day on Saturday morning at pain-train at 6a; coworking continues to be successful

COT: It is good habit to be aware of our surroundings. This is actually something you can practice and get better at. In my time with the Scout unit in the Army we would incorporate the KIMs game in our training sometimes. One practical piece of advice: when going to and from your vehicle in parking lots, stay off your phone and look around. By doing this, you are far less likely to be attacked by any possible attacker.

Thanks for coming out in the gloom this morning!
