Whenever there's an FNG, I feel the responsibility to turn it up a notch and to ensure I adhere to the principles, cadence calling, and traits of what I love about F3. While it's not up to me to determine the intensity of this morning's workout as I'll let the PAX chime in, what I can control is the adherence to the principles, cadence calling and characteristics of what I love about F3…so long as I don't stray from the 5 Core Principles or the Credo.
Naturally, we reviewed those this morning prior to launching as we had an FNG in the gloom with us, welcome Small Things.
WARMUP: Mosey to the parking lot of FMRX and discover a nicely placed deck of cards. Oh look, what shall we do with these? The intent was to complete ~1/2 the deck utilizing some warm-up exercises and regular exercises and let this serve as our slightly-higher-than-normal-intensity warm-up.
Hearts: Merkins
Clubs: Flutters (count the rt side only)
Spades: Squats
Diamonds: Butt Kickers (count the rt side only)
THE THANG:
Mosey to the big lot on the right at the top of the Massey hill for a large evolution of 4 Corners with a center.
Start in the center of the lot and run to the corner, perform the exercise, run back to the center for 5 burpees, then out to the next corner and back to the center and so on. Complete 2 full rounds.
Corner 1: 15 Hand-Release Merkins
Corner 2: 15 Jump Squats
Corner 3: 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Corner 4: 15 American Hammers
Once everyone completed round 2, we then completed 1 additional round as a group but cut the reps in half.
Mosey to the steps at the Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene. The original plan had us running up and down the set of stairs but due to the rain, we lunge walked up the stairs, walked down and did that 3 times then went to the Church parking lot.
Here I looked at the wienke and realized I had about 7mins of material for the remaining 15mins of time in the hour. A reminder for all, plan a longer workout in case you finish an evolution faster than anticipated. So, what did we do? I preceded to make a few enemies and released the angry gremlin inside Super G.
Welcome back to the Mak Tar Jah followed by the Knee Tar Jah!
Now, mosey back to COT for what turned out to be the fastest naming of an FNG I've ever been apart of.
Welcome, Small Things.

THE THANG:
Backblast – The Forge
Q: Jason
Workout: Ladder to 10
Distance: Just under 4 miles
Great work by everyone who showed up at The Forge this morning. The focus was simple: keep moving, build the volume, and embrace the cumulative fatigue.
We tackled a progressive ladder workout. After each round, we ran a lap before adding the next movement. Every round started back at the beginning of the ladder, so the reps steadily accumulated while the legs never got much of a break.
The Ladder
Format
By the end, we had logged 10 laps for just under 4 miles, while knocking out a full-body beatdown that challenged the legs, core, chest, shoulders, and lungs.
Totals Completed
Message of the Day (MOTD):
Big goals aren’t accomplished in one giant leap—they’re built one step, one rep, and one lap at a time. Consistency compounds. Keep showing up, trust the process, and before long you’ll look back and realize you’ve gone farther than you ever thought possible.
Thanks to all the HIMs who pushed the pace, encouraged one another, and made The Forge stronger this morning.
It was an honor to lead. Aye!
