Outland invader and the cure for SV

Outland invader and the cure for SV

It was an honor to lead the Outland Saturday workout.  One of the greatest things of the F3 workout is that the Q does not have to be the most fit person (or best counter) to lead the workout.  Every person gets the full effect of the workout regardless of fitness level.  All get stronger; all receive the push from one another to push to levels they have not reached before.

The Pax: Shepherd, Hair Band, EE (double E), Glass Joe, Smokey, Pikachu, Bonhoeffer, Hoodie, Hercules, The late Show, The Count (ah ah ah),

The warmup:

Started with the pledge and disclaimer.  I suggested they all go home but none took me up on the suggestion.

Short Mosey to the tennis courts for some Plank-O-Rama:

Alternating arms and legs up, (at this point, Hushpuppy described the how in the Gashouse, if you have a case of the SV you needed some F3 to get over it.   When a man begins to wine, we say “what’s wrong, you got a case of SV?  You got sand in your vag?)  This generated some mumble chatter and laughter and made it difficult for YHC to hold his left leg up.  We then moved on to:

Peter parkers x 10IC

Shoulder taps x 10IC

Parker peters, x 10IC

Merkins x 10IC

SSH in cadence X 20

Squates IC X 10

Zombie walk across tennis court, lunges and then a squat at each line

Bear crawl back, a Merkin at each line

Then mosey to SV high school looking for some bleachers.  The gate was locked and some of the PAX stated we could easily jump the small wall but YHC did not want to contribute to the delinquency of the PAX so I called an Audible and we did some donkey kicks.  Since I start to taste my breakfast in the back of my throat when my 6 gets above my head I asked Glass Joe to call the cadence.  At about #22 the Pax began to mumble something about a Q-Jack and I loudly tried to regain control.  GJ stopped at 25, sensing a mutiny was brewing.

Then called for some little baby dips on the curb X 15,

Mosey back towards SV Middle school.  There was a small walking track I would guess about 1/8 a mile and was perfect for some Dora 1-2-3.  I tried to count off partners as 1, 2 , 1, 2 but realized at the end that was fruitless and just called partner up (counting failure #1) 100 Merkins, 200 squats, 300 flutter kicks (right leg 300 times, left leg 300 times).  The counting seemed to get off again as several finished but some seemed to do 100 more while the rest of us wondered if we’d gotten lost.  (somewhere in there was counting failure #2)

We then moseyed to the far side of the School to some brick benches and curbs

Alternating between 20 step ups in cadence, then 15 Dips in cadence, X3

And a set of Derkins just to mix things up.  Thanks to “The Count” for the count.

Then to the curb for some Rocky Balboas (toe taps) x 15 IC.

We moseyed to the sidewalk on the main road and The hour was nearly over so we completed some 7’s with Monkey humpers at the top and merkins at the bottom.  The Monkey humpers were done facing the road showing Indian Trail our best side.  At least 2 motorists honked, one of which was a plumber in his work truck.  We all agreed he was beeping at GJ.

Once complete YHC attempted to circle up for a circle burp, or what was later named a burpee wave.  This was much more appropriate of a name considering my 2.0 was there for his first adult workout.  4 groups of 3 to do burpees in a wave fashion, group 1, 2, 3,  One! Again, counting failure (#3) on the Q’s part we ended up with 3 groups of 4 and this definitely wouldn’t work.  Once “The Count” straightened out the count, we began.  We had 6 minutes remaining and I challenged the PAX that in the Gashouse we had done 87 in 10 minutes.  The gladly took on that challenge and once we hit our stride we completed 40 in 6 minutes.

Announcements: YHC shared on the Climb, a CSAUP in the Gashouse and encouraged the PAX  to come.  Here is a link for you to register.  https://crowdersridge.churchcenteronline.com/registrations/events/39614

10/8 will be a multi county convergence for the Monroe Launch at Belk Tonawanda park.  I look forward to seeing these HIM’s again in my old home town.

Prayer requests for health issues and the launch.  We had clearly eliminated any signs of SV and completed the morning with a prayer for those requests that were mentioned and unspoken.

Finally, I want to make note that the 3^rd F devotional from Titus was very meaningful.  One of the hardest parts of leadership is knowing when to depend on others; when to realize you can’t do it all yourself.  Entrust your vision to faithful men who are of like mind and spirit and you will succeed.  This was effective both with the Apostle Paul and his sons of the faith, and the success of F3.
