Wandered from the Ruin

Leave a comment

One of the nice things about the Colosseum is that it provides decent cover in the event of inclement weather (if that’s your sort of thing). Well, with the help of a few friends, we decided to ditch the friendly confines of our favorite Tuesday Roman ruin in favor of a new AO. With celebrity status-worthy Dark Helmet on Q at Golden Corral, he brought his PAX of 16 to meet up with my PAX of 5 (low in numbers but we’re a scrappy bunch) in the WalMart parking lot.

I won’t take credit for this but I loved the idea and just might do it again. If we lengthen the time, add a few twists and turns and get the heart rate up, we might call it a Black Diamond. So after the last of the headlights made their way in the Colosseum, we took off. After a .5mi mosey to the intersection with 160, we did a brief warm up of:
SSH
Windmills
Moroccan Night Club
After another .5mi mosey to the WalMart parking lot, we had a few minutes to kill which let us do the following:
Windmills
Squats
Carolina Dry Docks

We then saw the headlights begin to trickle into the lot but little did I know at the time, Dark Helmet robbed the other AO’s of their PAX and he brought 15 other guys with him. With a big circle formed, we got the run-down from DH on the importance of 212 and what happens when you add that 1 degree, from 211 to 212. He’s much better with words and it’s his message, so you’ll have to read his BB to get the knowledge.

So with a partner, you’ll do 212 each of the following exercises. The key is however that you each do your respective exercise until one of you reaches failure. At that point, flapjack until you’ve collectively reached 212 of each:

Merkins & Flutter Kicks
followed by
Dips & LBC’s

The time passed too quickly so we all had to part ways back to our starting AO’s. Crash, thanks for the idea…this will surface again.
Announcements: P200 meeting tonight. Many opportunities in the weekly email.
Prayers/Praises: Successful surgeries, Pregnancies, Health of the PAX, Health at the office after discouraging news, our homes. Tap into WHETSTONE if you haven’t already.

As you were.

Moleskin:

We discussed this month’s 3rd F focus of love during our workout today. Men often run from the “love” topic because we’ve been taught to be emotionless since our youth. When we were boys, we were told to “walk it off” or “stop crying” when we got hurt. Most boys are raised to be emotionally hollow men.

Men have learned harness our  emotions. It’s problematic when we release bottled  emotions negatively (e.g. rage, alcoholism and other addictions). What if we could use our emotions for good?

An example of someone using their  emotions for good is the 22 girl who saved her dad by lifted a car to save her dad. She found her dad pinned under a car. This young lady channeled her emotions into a rage that gave her the strength to lift and fling the car off her dad. See the story here. https://youtu.be/kzb23873nA4

Are you using your emotions in negative or positive ways? Be aware of your emotions and tend to the emotional needs of others.

Coupons, Cones and ‘Merica!

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Apache & Popeye
  • When: 2/20/16
  • Pax: Nunchuck, Highpockets, Drifter, Mayflower
  • Posted In: The Fort

While it seemed most of all the other PAX were chasing the Yeti in Fort Mill, 6 #HIM in York woke up to continue to grow F3 in York and tame the Dragon.

This AO shows YHC and many other the potential for so much fitness pain.

Apache started the group off with the following

WARM UP:

  • SSH X30 (IC)
  • Stretch out the soreness with a little left leg over right & right leg over left.
  • Merkins X10 (IC)

Mosey to Apache’s cones of pain. Apache found some coupons (Rock) and everyone grabbed one.

With the coupon we did

  • X20 Squats
  • Run to each of the cones with coupon
  • X20 CDD
  • X20 Merking
  • X20 Burpees
  • X20 SSH
  • X20 Monkey Humpers

I didn’t mention there was a hill involved with bear crawls.

Apache then handed the reigns off to Nunchuck to give him a little VQ action I can’t remember the count but there where

  • Side lunge squats
  • WM
  • SSH
  • Cresent Kicks

Nunchuck gave us a little mole skin from the word about David stepping up when no one else would to face Goliath.

Then YHC took over.  We moseyed over to the cougar statue.  I spoke about how it was our civic duty as Americans to vote. We can not complain about who’s elected if we don’t vote. In the 2012’s presidential election only 54% of the registered voters in America cast a ballot. It’s sad to think in a country where so many people gave their lives for us to have the freedom to vote a little more than half used their right to cast a ballot. SO to encourage the PAX to vote and tell their families, friends & neighbors to vote we partnered up  to do the following

while one man runs the other does

  • X54 Irkins
  • X54 Merkins
  • X54 Dirkins
  • X54 Dips

Mosey to the hill next to the baseball fields.

This year America turns 240 years old so with your partner one runs the hill while the other does

  • X60 Squats
  • X60 Monkey Humpers
  • X60 SSH
  • X60 Calf Raises
  • Equal 240

Mose to the wall next to the drop off circle.

I talked about how in America fought against communism and led the charge to help bring down the Berlin Wall. So we did a little people’s chair to try and break down that wall.  About a minutes worth with a little Heads Shoulders Knees and Toes.

Mosey to the COT for 5 Captain Thors (America’s)

Done!

YHC & Apache are honored to lead these York men who have decided to take the #redpill to work to grow F3 in York and beyond.

“Risen” 2nd/3rd F Outing to Movies

Leave a comment

PAX,

It is the season of LENT and for those that don’t know what that is, it is a time for preparation for Easter and the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus. For Christians, this is the most important action, event sign of love that God has done for all people. Without it, there is no Christianity and the world would definitely be a different place.

So, there is a movie out called “Risen” that I think would be a cool 2nd F event to get some pizza, beer and fellowship and secondly open up some questions about what this event means to each of us from a 3rd F view. We will follow up on this at Crossroads the following Tuesday 3/1.

Bringing M’s and 2.0s are up to your discretion, however movie is PG-13 and a bit violent for sub 13.

No need to sign up or over commit, but I encourage the PAX to come out and see where it leads.

What: Dinner/Beer/Movie

Date: 2/25/16

Time: 6:00 Mellow Mushroom 7:15 Showtime

Place: Mellow Mushroom/Manchester Theater

Two Wolves and the Great Battle

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Italian Job
  • When: 2/15/16
  • Pax: CSPAN, Longshanks, Schrute, Van Wilder, Boots, Snapper, Apache
  • Posted In: Alcatraz, The Fort

With many of our brother’s heading north for a Muthaship Monday beatdown, YHC decided to bring the pain south of the state line. 8 of us toured Rock Hill and got a little better in the process.

From my understanding the “Warm Up” at Mutha is a mile run in at a quick pace. With that in mind, we took off at a sub-7:30 pace toward the Hot Box. Since this isn’t the normal path we take, we lost half the PAX along the way. We did however find a late arrival, Boots, on the way back. Once we reconvened, we added a warmup to get us back to our normal routine.

  • 25 SSH in cadence
  • 20 IW in cadence
  • 15 Windmill in cadence
  • Left over Right
  • Right over Left
  • Middle

Mosey to the Hot Box

  • Partner Up. Partner 1 ran the ramps while partner 2 ran the stairs. Meet at the top for 25 Patty Cake Merkins. Run back down.
  • Flapjack – Partner 2 ran the ramps and Partner 1 ran the stairs. Run back down.
  • Shampoo
  • Ascending Testicles (a terrible choice)
    • 10 Merkins at 15 degrees
    • 10 Merkins at 45 degrees
    • 10 BTTW Merkins (if you got it)
  • Partner 1 Wheelbarrow up the ramp, lunge the in between, wheelbarrow up the next ramp, lunge, trade off with Partner 2.
  • Shampoo
  • Bear Crawl up the ramp, lunge in between, Crab Walk up the ramp, lunge, Nur the final ramp.
  • People’s Chair (2 rounds)
  • Run down 2 levels followed by
    • 10 pullups each
  • Run down 1 level
    • 10 pullups or 30 calf raises

Long mosey to COT

NMM

As always, it was a pleasure to lead my fellow brothers this morning. I enjoy spending 45 minutes on a cold morning getting better because of my brothers. It was great having our guests from across the river. CSPAN and Longshanks are always welcome down in Old Town. Great hustle today Schrute – getting faster every week! Van Wilder, I’m so proud to see you working your tail off. You are CRUSHING it and we’ve noticed your progress. Boots, thanks for joining us. We know this training is getting you prepared for your next journey in a few months. Awesome work Snapper. While your classmates are sleeping, you are working. I never had that discipline at your age. Apache, thanks for your leadership. The PAX enjoy having you around and your encouragement is appreciated.

To our fartsacking brothers, you missed a good one (looking at you Burgundy, Posh, Sgt. York, Tinker Toy, Riddler, River Rat, and Popeye). We’ll see you soon.

On a serious note, Apache shared something a few months ago that stayed with me. He shared the story of an old Cherokee man telling his grandson about life and the battle of good and evil.

“A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?” The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”

Men, the enemy is all around us. He is wanting to destroy our marriages, our friendships, and our lives. He’s not always dressed in red with horns and a pitchfork. Often times he takes the forms of your desires. As he tells you that what you’re doing is okay, and no one is getting hurt, he is slowly chopping away at your base, like a lumberjack takes aim at a tree. The pleasure he has you seeking may be enjoyable for a season, but you will fall. And when you fall, it will hurt. Take time to analyze your life. Which wolf are you feeding? Which wolf is winning? Which wolf do you want to have control of your life? Make a stand today to feed the right one and fight the good fight.

  • When: 02/11/16
  • Pax: Italian Job, Shrute, Sgt York, Burgundy, Smoke Wagon, The Riddler, Water Boy, Apache, Van Wilder, FNG Corn Dog
  • Posted In: The Fort

YHC was proud to see 11 PAX up and at it early at ManU in the COOOOOOLD #Gloom for a trip to the tropics (sort of). We were one minute late starting due to trying to #TurkeyPunch one of RHPD’s finest stopping by wondering why we were crazy enough to get out in 19 degree weather to “run”.

THE THANG –

  • X20 Merkins
  • Bear Crawl to Mellow Mushroom (3rd Corner)

  • Lunge Walk back to Movie theater
  • Rinse and Repeat X3 – There would have been more but YHC was verbally threatened by Apache not to say Rinse and Repeat again.
  • Also somewhere along the way, just like in the real Bermuda Triangle Smoke Wagon lived up to his name and disappeared like a puff of smoke.

Mosey back to Manchester Parking Lot to show off a little of what we do to the RHPD sitting there in their warm patrol cars.

  • 3 Big Boy sit ups w/ 12 American Hammers
  • You get the idea – The plan was to go to 10 but YHC called an Omaha and stopped at 5 because of how awful the idea was. Burgundy loved it – so fair warning, I’m sure we all will see Captain Thor again one day.

For good measure

  • X20 Plank Twists – (Gut Busters)
  • 1 minute of SSH (X25)

DONE! 

The 19 degree temperatures didn’t slow down this group of #HIM.  It is always an honor to lead these leaders!  We had an FNG Hospital name Chris, who is Apache’s future son-in-law. He took the #redpill and woke up ready to go in the cold. So, since Apache for months has been wanting to name an FNG Corn Dog YHC thought it would be fitting to name our newest FNG Corn Dog. Welcome to the gloom brother!

Release The Dragon in York

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Popeye & Burgundy
  • When: 02/06/16
  • Pax: Solid State, Turbine, Mayflower, Royale, Real Tree, Walker, Shamrock, Posh, Bull, Smoke Wagon, Apache, FNGs: Nunchuck, High Pockets, Orvis
  • Posted In: The Fort

We have main engine start and a great launch of the NEW F3 York aka #TheDragon. 16 PAX including 3 FNGs were on hand for the release of the Dragon AO at York Comprehensive High School. YHC would like to extend thanks to Apache and other PAX involved for helping us get this AO off the ground. YCHS has so much potential for workouts, but the area of York is prime for EHing men to F3.

THE THANG

YHC took the first round for a warm up before a Burgundy Beat down.

WARM UP:

  • SSH X10
  • IW X10
  • MNC X10
  • MERKINS X10
  • SEAL JACKS X10

Mosey to the adjacent parking lot from the COT to the hill next to the road.

  • Backwards Jacobs Ladder
  • Run to the top do 10 merkins
  • Run to the bottom 10 squats
  • Rinse and Repeat minus one of each until you get to 1.

MOSEY to the student drop off circle next to Cougar statue.

On while planning this workout looking at google earth this mini-track looking circle looked nice and flat. It was discovered that one one side the incline of this mini track was pretty awful.

4-Corners of Pain

  • Corners 1 & 3 = 20 Squats & 20 SSH
  • Corners 2 & 4 = 10 Merkins & 10 Plank Jacks
  • High knees the short sides.
  • Two rounds.

STOP for a little MOLE SKIN – YHC gave a run down of the 3 F’s of F3 for the FNGs. Telling them how I feel the 1st F is just a by product of the 2nd and 3rd F’s. I explained how F3 is much more than a typical workout groups. WE strive to be High Impact Men, leaving this Earth Sky Q gave us just a little bit better than how we found it. I talked about Frank Abagnale – The person featured in the movie / book ‘Catch Me if You Can’. How early in life he was a criminal expert, check fraud scammer who could fake everything from millions of dollars of fraudulent check, to documents which made him a Airline Pilot, Lawyer, & Doctor. He was so good at his crimes he was arrested but then eventually employed by the FBI to help them track down and find other a scam artists.  He said in one of his books this quote: “Remember what being an adult is; it has nothing to do with money or rewards. A real man loves and is faithful to his wife. You will do nothing greater in life than be a great spouse and parent.”

Go home and focus on the important things in life… Family.

HAND OFF – Burgundy:

Mosey around to the other side of the school to what should be from now on called pain alley after last week’s Pusher wall of pain and now Burgundy’s Burpees of Pain. We circled up and commenced 50 Burpees 10 each in this form:

  • 10 Flying Squirrels (Burpee w/out push up)
  • 10 Regular Burpees
  • 10 Burpees + 4 plankjacks
  • 10 Burpees + 4 plankjacks + 2 Mountain Climbers
  • 10 Burpees + 4 plankjacks + 2 Mountain Climbers + 1 jump tuck

Yes you are right… It was as painful as it sounds. There were several 10 counts in between.

Next:

  • two rounds of caterpillars/ bear crawls with a merkin in between around 3 steps/hand walks approx. 10 yards. Shoulder burner!

MOSEY to “The Playground” ROTC Obstacle Course

  • Rows of two start at the dip bar
  • Dip race – run zigzag pattern around the next obstacle – crawl across the cargo net – bear crawl under the next pipe obstacle. Rinse and Repeat

MOSEY back to the COT for a 3 minute ab-lab (LBCs, Flutters, 6-inches)

DONE! I’m out of breath just writing this hour of pain.

We have barely scratched the surface on the potential of YCHS. Check the Q spread sheet to see when you have the opportunity to bring the heat to the Dragon’s Lair.

Let’s keep on EH’ing folks that you know who live or work around York, SC. At #coffeeteria afterwards there was already some excitement and talk about adding another week day AO in the area between York and Clover. Operation F3 Annoconda York County is picking up speed.

Welcome Mayflower who we TurkwyPunched at last week’s re-con who started F3 in Charlotte and is pumped that he found F3 here in York close to home. Also welcome FNGs Nunchuck, High Pockets and Orvis. We hope you take the #redpill to becoming #HIM for this AO in York.  Get to #TurkeyPunching!

Popeye OUT!

Four Corners and a Spot of Tea

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Solid State / Aquaman
  • When: 01/30/16
  • Pax: Spud, Spark Plug, Fish Sticks, Senator Tressel, Howitzer, Aquaman, Cornhole
  • Posted In: Alcatraz, The Fort

I picked up the Q as a trade with Bing who will be taking the reigns in the April. – Watch out

It turned out to be a good trade too, as I would be Q’ing with Aquaman.
I often see people complaining about his Q’s after they post. “The Pain, the pain!”

– Sweet!

The Thing

Warm up
– SSH
– Merkins
– Imperial Walker
– Windmills

Stroll around the field discovering four markers along the way…

A little game of “Four Corners”.

Partner up

Returning to the first marker, partner one would perform an exercise as slow as possible while partner two would run a lap around the four stations as fast as possible. Partners switch positions on return.

The goal of the effort was to have as low of a count between the two as possible.
To keep things even and aid accountability at the stations, the cadence was to be managed by the pax together. We would do this for each station.

Station 1 – Merkins
Wheelbarrow to station 2
Station 2 – Squats
Slow bear crawl to station 3
Station 3 – the Burpee
Wheelbarrow (partner switch) to station 4
Station 4 – Mountain Climbers (methinks)

With the six in, we moseyed to the middle of the field.
Jack Web 10/40 (don’t forget to count)
Pax Choice ab lab – Everyone had a turn

The Q was then turned over to Aquaman

With the rising sun, we ventured out of the park…
Off to that friendly sounding Tara Tea Drive… (what a monster…)

Cones were placed along the side of the road from the bottom of the hill to the top

We were to do exercises from one cone to the next
First cone to second: burpee broad jumps
second to third: Ono’s
Third to top of hill: Bear Crawl

After we summited this the first time, Aqauman says:
“Find a good pace, we’ll be doing this for awhile…” and… we did…

Excellent effort by all men, I think everyone summited Tara Tea at least four times.

Next, Aquaman doubled the cones and we did reverse suicide ladder up that monster. (Nobody misses this.)

Then we posted at the top of the hill where we did ab work using the incline to your dis-advantage.
Goal: 50 leg raises from decline / 50 sit-ups from decline

With that we were broken! Aye!

 

NMM

I had a theme in mind for the workout this morning, but when it looked like the pax were all my seniors, I dropped the theme realizing that I had nothing to share but respect. Humbling experience to post with my elders as they take the DRP. #Respect

Here is what struck me as I was leaving the post that morning…

First: What is your weinke this weekend? This week? This month?

Second: Are you going to honor it?

 

Never give up, take your ground and press on. Aye!

On that note:
Consider Whetstone, brothers in arms, Iron Sharpening Iron.

Assistant Coach Needed For Let Me Run Program in Rock Hill

Leave a comment

Hello Fellow Pax;

An assistant coach is needed at Ebinport Elementary School in Rock Hill for a new running program know as “Let Me Run”.  A friend of mine asked me to alert the F3 nation concerning this need.  Let Me Run is a great opportunity for boys to learn more about themselves, build strong relationships, and learn the importance of teamwork and perseverance – all skills that are essential to life – and all in the context of physical activity supported by responsible, supportive adults.  Here are the details:

Ebinport Elementary is looking for an assistant coach for the spring 2016 Let Me Run team. The coach must be available to attend the majority of the meetings with the boys. The meetings are on Mon/Wed or Tues/Thurs from 2:30 til 3:45 (I know, cruddy time, but it is hard to do it any time other than right after school). The teams start on 3/28 or 3/29 and culminate with a 5k on May 21st at Whitehall Corporate Center. Training is not required for assistant coaches, but is available for those who’d like the training on 2/6 and 2/18. Anyone interested can contact Jessica Adamson at 803.318.6027.

As my friend stated, the time of day may be problematic but if you work from home or have a flexible schedule and can help out, please give Jessica a call.  She would greatly appreciate your help.

Walker
