Disclaimer

I am not a professional. F3 workouts are voluntary and FREE – you are here voluntarily #YouAgainstYou. Modify as needed. Notify the Q or rest of PAX of any serious medical conditions #PushYourselfButDontHurtYourself.

The Warm Up

The Thang

We discussed how F3 workouts are peer led. One way to work on the skills is to break out the “Deck of Death” During the workout we took 10 and some 20 count breaks to discuss good habits, best practices, why we start exercises the way we do, why we watch our fellow F3 brothers during the workout as well as keeping an eye on the “6”

CoP: “The Deck” Numbered cards = # of reps, Jacks = 11, Queens = 12, Kings = 13 and Aces = 14.
  • Hearts = Burpees > OYO
  • Spades = Merkins > Q gets to call which kind of Merkin and either IC or OYO
  • Clubs = Squats > IC
  • Diamonds = LBC’s > IC

I don’t know who shuffled the cards but DANG, there were lots of hearts (and big #’s)

  • 76 Burpees
  • 70 Merkins
  • 80 Squats
  • 78 LBC’s

Closed it out with some “Core Work”

  • Big Boy Situps x 25 OYO
  • Oblique Crunch x 10 IC > Left side & Right side
  • Captain Thor went up to 5 x 20
  • Pigeon Stretch
  • Piriformis Stretch
CountORama and NameORama
