Instructions I received were to complete a minimum of 3mi while working in exercises. Roger that.

Small crowd, especially after the Shieldlock group split off.
Shoddy disclaimer by YHC.
Made mention that this would be miles with core work, that’s it.

Took off to “other” parking deck for:
25 Hello Dolly’s w/ a press I/C
25 Freddy Mercury’s w/ ruck up I/C

Ruck up to top level which wasn’t far considered where we started was actually the middle level
1 lap around the top deck then ruck shuffle down to the starting point.
Ruck shuffle up then down again.
25 Flutter’s w/ press I/C

Ruck shuffle around the entire parking lot
25 Leg Raises with ruck in air

Ruck shuffle around the lot again and end at the Lash circle
25 In’s/Outs I/C

Ruck down the back road and turn right onto Kingsley then stop at LPL Pkwy
25 Peter Parkers

Ruck to corner of back lot behind Panera
Shuffle down to SBUX drive thru entrance lane and back.

Ruck back to COT
25 LBCs I/C

Thank you again.

The Forts annual holiday party will have a different feel this year.
With COVID still lingering we have decided to have a gathering but it will be a bit different.

We are encouraging The PAX to go to dinner with your M and either your Shieldlock, Whetstone, or small group of fellow PAX and their Ms. After dinner we will all gather for an hour or so of a social hour(s).
This will give our Ms the opportunity to meet the crazy fellas we spend the early mornings with but more importantly their M.

We are all fortunate to have this crazy group it is also just as important to try and let our Ms meet some other ladies in the community and possibly let them start great friendships as well.

Make it a day of F3. Start with the golf outing, go to dinner and then grab a couple beers, a bottle of J Lohr wine, a cocktail and let’s kick off the holiday season.

If COVID worries you or your M we will have an outdoor area to hang out at as well as indoor areas.

Where- Springfield Community Center- by the tennis courts/pool
420 Horton Grove, Fort Mill, SC 29715

Time- 7pm-9pmish

When- Dec 3rd, 2021

Contact- Backdraft with any concerns…

Shouldering the Weight Together

Posted In: Soul to Sole

This morning at Sole to Soul, we spent 1 hour under ruck while rotating a 60lb sandbag amongst us. The plan was simple: when you have the weight on your shoulders, you share your burdens with the PAX. No one was obligated to share, but everyone did. We aren’t meant to carry our burdens alone. We should not only shoulder the weight together, but we should also give those worries and anxieties to our Creator. 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us to “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”

Don’t believe the lie that you are the only one going through your circumstances and that you should “man up” and go alone. When you are alone, you are vulnerable to attack. There is strength in numbers. Lean on your brothers.

Friends:

I’d like to make available the training gear I’ve accumulated as part of my personal training venture to the Pax of The Fort and start a new Gear AO!

What: Dealers ( Q ) choice gear AO.

Where: 12:15 pm on Fridays at Turner Field parking lot in Tega Cay. 45 minutes in length. Inaugural workout on Friday, 10/23.

Why: To serve the Pax who have flexibility to work from home or may not be early risers. To reinvigorate Kotters or recruit new FNG’s who need a shieldlock.

How: the Weinke could include the gear in my trailer or based on the Q’s of the day preference like kettlebell, ruck, or a combination of all. I will assist the Q’s in setup.

Special Bonus: a commemorative patch will be awarded to the first 10 Pax who post!

FAQ:

What gear will Bear Grylls make available to the Q’s?

- The contents of my trailer include sandbags, kettlebells, dumbells, barbells, slam balls, TRX, battle ropes, jump boxes, bench, water jugs, squat rack, strength sled, speed and agility equipment and resistance bands. A full gear list will be provided to Q’s so they can build their Weinke.

What if the weather turns bad, will the equipment be ruined?

- Most of the equipment is rubber-coated, however, we won’t use any bare metal items if there is precipitation. The Q of the day can always revert to a run or boot-camp model. There is a soccer and baseball field at Turner which provides many pain-station options.

Other questions and concerns can be sent to Twitter at F3_BearGrylls or on Slack.
