Special kudos for Clickbait for opening up his home for anyone who does not have anywhere or anyone to go celebrate the holiday with. #HIM

NMM:
7-4-1776 was a BIG day in the history of this world. Not only is it the birth of our great nation, but it was a loud exclamation to the world that freedom reigns and is worth fighting for. We exercise our freedoms every day whether we know it or not, from being able to wake up early and go work out with like-minded men, voice our opinions on whatever topic in however means, practice whatever religion or belief system we choose, or choose not to practice any type religion or belief system – all without fear of persecution. There are some people in this country who are challenging these various freedoms, not knowing that they themselves are exercising the constitutionally guaranteed right to challenge the status quo and advocate change. Many countries would severely persecute that type of vocality. Yet we as a nation allow and even foster it, for through adversity, change, and pain comes growth, wisdom, and strength.

During your various Independence Day celebrations please take time out to give thanks for the many things we have (i.e., blessings) as well as our many various freedoms, however you may define them, including – IMO most importantly – the freedom to speak up and make change happen, however large or small the magnitude, scope, and/or scale. That’s what happened on 7-4-1776, on a great scale and magnitude, and has continued since. The United States of America as a whole is never stagnant, it is always evolving. Hopefully for the better. It is by no means perfect either (what made of man is?), but it could most definitely be worse in many many ways. It is up to each one of us, exercising our various freedoms, to ensure we as a nation continue to move forward and get better in some way every day. Change happens through action, not just words. The mission behind F3 is to plant. serve, and grow small workout groups for the purpose of invigorating male community leadership. Keep at it, continue to BE the change you want to see in this world through not just your words but your actions. Give it away, for when you do YOU help facilitate positive change in others.

Have a happy and safe Independence Day. Happy Birthday America!

Thank you for the opportunity to lead. Blessed and thankful for every one of you F3 The Fort PAX that are in my life. SYITG.

YHC is grateful for a tremendous group of HIM to help in acceleration and staying on the right path. The cooler temps and lower humidity was a blessing to start the week. Thanks to Badlands for the Q spot. It is always a privilege to lead.

THE THANG: Everyone was instructed pick up bricks out of the back of my car. PAX were instructed to hold onto those bricks for the entire workout.
1st Round – While lunge walking 10 yards PAX had to raise bricks out to the side with each lunge. Once we reached our 10 yard destination we performed 10 Bomb Jacks with bricks. Did this for 5 stations.
Round #2 – Jack Webb – 2 exercises with 1:4 ratio concluding at 10:40. Exercises were Merkins on bricks and Overhead Claps with bricks.
Round #3 – Same stations we used for the previous lunge walk were used to perform a Burpee Suicide ladder. Starting line – 1 burpee, run to first station 1 burpee, run back to starting line 1 burpee, run to 2nd station 2 burpees, back to starting line 1 burpee, so forth and so on, 5 staions.
Round #4 – Supermans with Bricks – Lay on your stomach, performed 10 sec holds in 4 different positions -Superman, Field Goal, Airplane, Ripcord. Once PAX had a good understanding of the positions we went through them again with a 7 second hold and no breaks in between positions.
Round #5 – Indian Run with Bricks 3 times around the parking lot. If you’ve never ran with bricks you are missing a real treat.
Round#6 – Same routine as the 1st round, but with backward lunges as travel mode and instructed to raise bricks straight ahead, at each station PAX were instructed to sit in the Al Gore position with bricks raised to the front and perform 10 pulses. JWOW’s form was noticeable!!!
Round#7 – Circle up and get on your 6. Completed 25 toe touch crunches with bricks in cadence, 20 reverse crunches in cadence, 15 V-Ups with Bricks, and then 20 oyo WindShield Wiper leg raises. DONE!!!

F3 Dads 2022

Here’s the outlay for F3 Dads 2022:

9-9:30 at WEP (so you can still post at the Fort, Alcatraz, or Yard)
6/11 – Slapshot
6/18 – Cubbie
6/25 – Lutefisk
7/2 – Badlands
2.0 friendly workout

Disclaimer: your kids will probably still whine that their legs hurt on Sunday morning. I mean, You wil too so…

Sons AND Daughters welcome. It’s F3 Dads not F3 Sons!

Give anyone left inside your house moment of quiet on Saturday morning….

HC now, put it on the calendar, and build the excitement at home!

Ideal age range is: old enough to do the exercises/games — young enough to still be seen exercising in a park with their dad.

From the official F3 nation disclaimer:
Participants under 18 must be accompanied by a father or male legal guardian: by participating in an F3 workout, an individual assumes the risks inherent in doing so.

Have fun and don’t hurt yourself trying to keep up with your kiddo….
