Every man improved from last week. Our newcomers to the BoP were Mugshot, Scout, Mailman, Mayham, Bogey, Billboard, River Rat, Wheels, and Swamp Fox.

• Riddler went up another 2 rungs to Mountain Climbers. He’s improved 6 rungs from his first week.
• Catfish went up 30 Mac Tar Jais this week.
• Sgt. York jumped 1 rung to Mary Catherines. That’s 4 rungs from week one.
• Geppetto went up 1 rung to Jump Squats. That’s a gain of 3 rungs since the first week.
• Popeye went up 2 rungs this week to Jump Squats.
• Padre went up 1 rung to Mountain Climbers.
• Tinker Toy and Burgundy went up 1 rung to Mary Catherines, a gain of 3 total from week one.
• YHC went up 1 rung to Shoulder Raises, 2 rungs up from week one.

Our newbies made quite the showing today. A few notes of record:

• River Rat had great form today. He took his time to make sure everything was done right. Great work!
• Mailman, Mayham, and Swamp Fox hit it hard and completed Mac Tar Jais – no small feat.
• Awesome work by Billboard in his first week with F3. The guy is drinking from a fire hose and doing great!
• It was good to see Bogey resurface after a few weeks of IR.
• Mugshot and Wheels both posted for the first time at BoP and got through 50 Jump Squats. To do that in week one is super impressive.
• Perhaps the most astonishing is how Scout continues to CRUSH everything we throw at him. This guy made it to 50 Mountain Climbers – at age 68! You read that right. We’re starting to wonder if he’s human. Double Respect!

Remember men, we do this to get better. You are all an inspiration. Show up next week to finish out the BoP Challenge and see who made the most progress.
