A few good men joined at the Yank for the chance to get a little better.  Start with mission of F3 to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men, for the invigoration of male community leadership.  Warm up of SSH, IW, and some stretches.  YHC asked to bring ruck sacks, grab them and let’s mosey to track behind middle school.

Shared a few comments in honor of Nick Saban announcing retirement earlier in the week.  He is a leader in all aspects.  His terminology is different but he teaches the exact same lessons as we find in Q Source.  Live each day with the intent of taking care of all details needed to win that day.   Set your goals, and formulate the plan to achieve, then forget about the goal and focus on what needs to be done to get there.  The end result will take care of itself.

Workout is with blocks.  Four exercises, thrusters, WWIII sit ups, blockies, and shoulder press.  25 reps of each and them strap on ruck and do two laps around the track at a brisk pace.  Debate ensues on which is more difficult, WWIII sit ups or blockies.   No decision, both are really hard.  Decrease reps by 5 and do another round.  Continue to go down by 5 each round.

Most I think were on round of 15 or had just completed when time to stop.  YHC counted off 17 thrusters, one for each year Saban coached at Alabama.  Chose thrusters to simulate all of those national champion trophies Saban raised to the crowd.

In all seriousness, Saban is a man that did not coach football, he coached life.  Football just happened to be his vocation.  I encourage if you have a few minutes to look up one of his speeches on Youtube, his lessons are worth your time.

Nick Saban first round draft picks at Alabama – 49.  Saban losses at Alabama – 29.
