I just returned from a trip to England with our GrowRuck team. I learned that regardless of our accents, we are one PAX with the same mission in mind. I had a wife tell me F3 broke her husband (Hoops). It broke him and rebuilt him into the father she always desired for her children and the husband she married years ago. You see, F3 is more than a fitness group – it is a way to unlock a man’s hidden potential to love and lead well. I am so blessed to be surrounded by men like Hoops. He was just like so many of us – lost without know it. Let his story inspire you to find your “why” and rekindle your desire to be an asset wherever you are.

Friday the 20th at the Stockade – clever title absent

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short “mozyroo” from the AO to the front of Harris Teeter.  YHC has been nursing a bum calf so no SSH were to be had.  We proceeded with  Carolina Dry Docks, Low Slow Squats, American Hammers, Mountain Climbers and Moroccan Night Clubs.
THE THANG:  Another short mozy to the side of HT.  At HT we did a group wall sit with the first Pax giving us a 10 count.  We then crossed the alley and did 5 merkins as a group.  When back to the HT wall we swapped out wall sits for planks.  Rinse and repeat with ongoing 10 counts and merkins (regular, hand release, Diamond, wide arm) alternating wall sits and planks.  After finishing these we did a lap around the oil change place with a brief stop for dips using the wall.  
 Back to HT for the same series but we swapped out merkins for 3 burpees.  Burpees included regular, Superman, Kraken and 8 count.  Repeat the lap (with dips) and back to HT.  Last series we swapped out burpees for 5 big boy sit-ups.
 Mozy to the fountain at the bottom of the hill by the fire dept.  There we did a plank clock with Carolina Dry Docks.  We started at 1:00 and did one CDD.  Plank walk to 2:00 for two CDDs.  Kept going until we did a full fountain lap and 78 total CDDs.
 Briefest mozy ever to the start of the row of arborvitae trees at the entrance to the apartment complex.  Starting with the first arborvitae we did two burpees and lunge walked the row, where at alternating trees, we did two burpees.  48 burpees later we were done.  Running a bit short on time we jogged our way back down the row and did two burpees at every third one.
  Mozy back to COT with one minute to spare.  One minute of full body destroyers ensued and we were all happy.
MARY:  she stayed home
ANNOUNCEMENTS:  D2D fund raisers
COT: Family health, marriages, 2.0s

Wheel of Gloom

Leave a comment

Had a last minute cancellation so today seemed like a great day to bring back the Wheel of Gloom!

It’s a competition where each pax spins the wheel… which lands on an exercise. The spinner counts each Rep as his points.

At the end… the top two point getters square off in a 1:00 minute AMRAP to see who gets the W.

So we all got a good workout in. Minimal running but over 200 Merkins and dozens of other reps of BBS, Squats, lunges, and Freddy Mercury’s. 1F was satisfied but 2nd accelerated!

Congrats to Half She’ll for getting the championship today.

Until next time…
