PAX: Bunsen, Pythagoras, Friar Tuck, Betsy Ross, Disco, Wiener Dog, Flo, Training Wheels
FNGs: None
COUNT: 8
WARMUP:
Stage 1: OYO SUCKS
YHC isolated each pax by sending them to a different part of the park where they would not be close enough to talk to other PAX. Each PAX was given a note card with 3 exercises on it and specified number of reps. PAX were to complete exercises AMRAP style for unspecified amount of time (7 min)

THE THANG:
Regrouped in Flo’s house of pain for…
Stage 2: OYO BUT ALONG SIDE OTHER MEN
PAX were told to choose weight that fit their capabilities. We all stayed in the pavilion. We all did the same work. But it was all individual effort not working with other and the only support was the generic workout music provided by the Q*

Stage 3: Battle Buddies
PAX paired with someone of similar fitness level for a shared burden DORA. One PAX would stand in a field completing as many of prescribed exercises as possible. Their battle buddy PAX would carry the burden of a sandbag/ruck across the field then complete 10 step ups and return to swap with their battle buddy. Continued in this fashion until each pair of men had completed combined count of
100 merkins
200 LBCs
300 squats

Stage 4: From Battle Buddies to True Community
Circle Burp
PAX stood in circle facing away from each other. Passed 80lb sandbag clockwise. After a man handed off the bag they would complete one burpee. Repeated 7 times around the circle

COT:
Tying in this weeks qsource theme YHC spoke about leading shorties by example in a NO OYO lifestyle highlighting importance of community for yourself, your M, your shorties, your family as a whole, etc. Discussed the importance of emphasizing community throughout life’s struggles and not taking on the mental battle on your own. Highlighted the concept of shieldlocking with other men. Encouraged men to reach out to myself or whoever they connect to if they need help.

Prayers for Friar Tuck and Wiener Dog’s wives who are pregnant. Prayers for Friar Tuck’s wife looking for a new job. Prayers for Pythagoras’s mother ina time of transition and strength for family to help her through that in the way that is needed.

It was an honor and privilege to lead the men of F3 and especially today when we highlight and meditate on such an important issue plaguing men worldwide.

*phone tried to play thunderstruck, OYO side by side hasn’t earned thunderstruck so YHC changes music to Katy Perry’s Firework inciting great rage from Bunsen
