The Ballroom Playbill

The Quad: 4 PAX. Small enough to be an intimate dinner party; strong enough to reshape the concrete.

​The Main Event: Four Corners. Because why just run in a straight line when you can suffer at every cardinal direction? We ran, we reached a corner, we paid the toll in pain, and we repeated.

​The Leg Destroyer: 100 Step-Ups. Pretty sure we collectively climbed a small mountain. Our quads are currently holding a press conference to protest tomorrow's alarm.

​The Remix: A spicy, chaotic blend of other exercises thrown in just to make sure nobody could breathe properly.

​The Verdict: No tuxedos, no disco balls, just four dudes putting in work while the world slept.

​If you missed it, your calves thank you, but your pride shouldn't. See you at the next beatdown!

Room for Balls

The Thang: A little warm up and a jog to the track where some sort of Baxter Pineapple thing was going on. There were men, women, and children all exercising together… sketchy if you ask me… but then again, you didn't ask me…
We started the main event with a burpee half mile, 5 at each “corner” for two laps. Those of us that elected to wear our training bras weren't the biggest fans, but that's the way life goes sometimes. Shifted gears to a Midget Dora (50-75-100) with a 50yd run.
Cohiba’s watch started talking dirty to him at that point and so we departed to separate ourselves from the dudes running with other dudes’ wives…
Ended with a 4-corner jaunt and a jog back for some Mary.

NMM: Whatever you gotta do, freaking do it. Ask for help, make a plan, it doesn't matter. The main thing is, stop making excuses, stop stopping, and do the thing.

1 Jarvis + 1 Bobber = Acceleration

Leave a comment

It was a beautiful morning at The Ballroom and the PAX were chomping at the bit to accelerate…Or was that Jarvis chomping on a T-Bone?🥩

Quick warmup with the Polish Mating Dance and we were off.

Over to the benches for some dips, step ups and irkins.

Over to the hill for some Chutes and Ladders. 🪜 There were two cones at each station and the PAX had to choose one of them. If they chose a C we had to Chute (run) up to the top of the hill. If it was an L we would run up to the next rung on the ladder. Each rung had two cones and some exercises. Let’s just say there was a lot of Chuting this morning.

Back to COT for prayers and praises.

JWow

What an honor to spend our mornings with men aiming high to be better than yesterday. Because of F3, I know more leaders in Fort Mill than all of our local, state, and country governance. My kids assume all dads do F3. They assume all dads volunteer in their community and challenge themselves to be stronger mentally, physically, and spiritually. They think every dad gets up early to do hard things. They assume all dads carry the bags on vacation and have funny nicknames. And in a world where I want my kids to know the truth, this is one fact I hide from them – not all men are as awesome as F3 The Fort PAX. So when you see them, let’s keep the facade going that all men are great leaders. After all, if they watch you, they’ll assume all dads have great friends that do great things. You men give me something to strive for every day.

Thank you.
