Whats the point of this

Sometimes I wonder if a ‘backblast’ is important. Yes, I can here the admins now screaming their doctoral rhetoric at their phone screens. ‘Its for new guys to get ideas’, ‘Its to share with people that weren’t there’, ‘Its to get our name plugged into the all powerful algorithm and track our stats.’

I kinda think its BS. When F3 started we didn’t have any of this crap. Not to say change is bad (or good), but to say are we missing the point. F3 isn’t about any of the things we are told to use a backblast for. That’s one of the things I always loved about Indian Land, the fact you wont find any record of it anywhere. But we, and you know who we are, what we were about, and the legend was born.

I suggest this. If you are gonna right a backblast, tell me something I cant find on YouTube. If I need a workout, that’s easy to find. I want the meat. What was your challenge, mentally. Who did you push. Did the PAX overcome. Did you grow as a leader.

Are you forging your legacy?

If you want to know what we do at my workouts, then show up. Otherwise just know we will be there sharpening our steel. Ill call impossible tasks not for the physical work, but to test your mind and fortitude. And just know I WILL be right there with you. Good or Bad, BC is here to stay.

I’m sure Ill get kicked out of F3 for these statements

No lube needed

So here’s the thing, I missed a few guys. Not bc I don’t appreciate my fans, but bc I was having oxygen issues in the brain and the video evidence was maliciously destroyed.

The 4 headed monster(ish) was fantastic and went as follows

Birdcage- 5 minute run for a warm up
LTrain- bear crawls, lunges, merkins, lbc, squats, running
Cohiba- Step ups, derkins, irkins, crab walks, more running
Fogerty- burpees, bear crawl, diamond merkins, uphill, more running
Liberty Biberty- wall sits, and running, and more running

Here’s the deal, we are accelerating. We are taking the first step TODAY. I couldn’t be any happier to be taking over #Bushpit. I have ideas, you want more, I will give the people what they want. Today is a new day for me, and you, and the Wood. Show to know what I got in store for next week. #MILGA

BushHolePit. Best if used on or before 08/13/25.

17 men, 3 Ruckers and 14 of The Ungovernable, came to BushHolePit to celebrate National Left-Handers Day. Or just to workout. Whichever.

WARMUP:
Like we needed it warmer out there. But we did do a little moseying, windmills, mountain climbers, etc.
THE THANG:
We went the long way around the school (is there a short way?) stopping for some things along the way. Some Dora, some bear crawls, dips, step-ups, muscle ups, etc. You know what we DIDN’T stop for? Pull-ups? Why? Because the AO got all bougie and walled them off from us peasants. Oh well. I would elaborate on this mornings festivities, but I made no weinke and I am not smart enough to recall all the things.

All you need to know is Birdcage was there and you probably weren’t, so you missed out. Seriously, the guy is hilarious. Love him.

Ok, back to life.
MARY: No chicks.
