WARMUP: Jog over to short wall for some of the basic opening warmup exercises, including: SSH, Hillbillies, Imperials, Windmills and Step-ups
THE THANG: Over the years, I've gotten a little complacent when it comes to Qing a workout. Frankly, I've lost sight of the true honor and responsibility it represents and therefore, the leadership respect it should be treated with. As I perform both a self-assessment and others-assessment, I see I am not the only one. I'm guilty and, I'm not here to judge. I am here to say, come with me as we step into a new space where we treat this unique opportunity the way it should be treated. On a given morning, you have the opportunity to lead 1-10+ other men who woke up in the 4 o'clock hour to spend 45+mins with you and challenge themselves a little or hopefully, a lot, as they pursue acceleration. Why would I ever treat that opportunity with anything less than the respect it deserves? That would be a slap in the face to F3 Nation and to every man who shows up in that parking lot.
A member of my Shieldlock asked if one of us could sub in as Mammon was pulling him DR. Without regard to my calendar (any number of things on there would have said to not take the Q), I said yes, put me in coach. Mind you, I'm coming off just completing a modified MURPH consisting of core and leg exercises due to my shoulders not cooperating. As I sit at my kids' swim meet last night, I was thinking about my Q the following morning (today) and figured I had done this enough times, I'd be fine winging it. After all, just run around, do some squats, maybe a few hills and mary, then boom, 0600 and we're back at COT. That's all, right?
WRONG…I wasn't going to disrespect the PAX or F3 Nation that way. Knowing I couldn't call any exercises involving my shoulders, I got to come up with a plan, quickly. So I set the alarm 25mins earlier so that I could write down the Weinke because if I don't write down notes, it'll be garbage. There it is, a little discipline to ensure that my fellow PAX were treated with a proper workout and hopefully, they found it to be as much. So, after the warmup, here was the rest:
Run up Main St to the newish community parking lot
Side lunge from one end to to the other then side lunge it back
Modified Capt Thor: 1 BBSU : 4 Flutters I/C (We performed up to 5 BBSU & 20 Flutters I/C)
Run to the end of the horseshoe drive at First Presbyterian Church
PAX performs squats while 2 PAX at a time run up and around to the other end of the horseshoe. Complete this until all PAX make their way to the other end.
Now, in the same fashion, PAX performs calf raises while 2 PAX run back to the start.
Upon completion, PAX run to the oh-so-smooth parking lot of First Baptist (I know, another Church…crazy)
Lunge walk to the end of the parking lot and complete 25 LBC's at each light pole on the left side.
Upon completion, complete another round and a half of the modified Capt Thor.
Run it all the way back to COT.
I love you too much to wing it.

THE MURPH – Modified or Not

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Nope, just the reading of Lt Michael Murphy's Congressional Medal of Honor Citation.
THE THANG: Just the workout which, included with the Citation, is listed below.
You see, the MURPH often intimidates people. Why? Because it's difficult? Or, they can't do pull-ups. Let me share some personal experience and a hard truth we ALL know to be truth. We shall not allow the difficulty of a task to reign supreme over our desire to overcome it. Now, some of us have real injuries standing in the way. For those, we offered a modification, also detailed below.
CITATION
LIEUTENANT MICHAEL P. MURPHY
UNITED STATES NAVY
For service set forth in the following
CONGRESSIONAL MEDAL OF HONOR CITATION:
FOR CONSPICUOUS GALLANTRY AND INTREPIDITY AT THE RISK OF HIS LIFE ABOVE AND BEYOND THE CALL OF DUTY AS THE LEADER OF A SPECIAL RECONNAISSANCE ELEMENT WITH NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE TASK UNIT AFGHANISTAN ON 27 AND 28 JUNE 2005.
WHILE LEADING A MISSION TO LOCATE A HIGH-LEVEL ANTI-COALITION MILITIA LEADER, LIEUTENANT MURPHY DEMONSTRATED EXTRAORDINARY HEROISM IN THE FACE OF GRAVE DANGER IN THE VICINITY OF ASADABAD, KONAR PROVINCE, AFGHANISTAN.
ON 28 JUNE 2005, OPERATING IN AN EXTREMELY RUGGED ENEMY-CONTROLLED AREA, LIEUTENANT MURPHY’S TEAM WAS DISCOVERED BY ANTI-COALITION MILITIA SYMPATHIZERS, WHO REVEALED THEIR POSITION TO TALIBAN FIGHTERS. AS A RESULT, BETWEEN 30 AND 40 ENEMY FIGHTERS BESIEGED HIS FOUR-MEMBER TEAM. DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL RESOLVE, LIEUTENANT MURPHY VALIANTLY LED HIS MEN IN ENGAGING THE LARGE ENEMY FORCE. THE ENSUING FIERCE FIREFIGHT RESULTED IN NUMEROUS ENEMY CASUALTIES, AS WELL AS THE WOUNDING OF ALL FOUR MEMBERS OF THE TEAM.
IGNORING HIS OWN WOUNDS AND DEMONSTRATING EXCEPTIONAL COMPOSURE, LIEUTENANT MURPHY CONTINUED TO LEAD AND ENCOURAGE HIS MEN. WHEN THE PRIMARY COMMUNICATOR FELL MORTALLY WOUNDED, LIEUTENANT MURPHY REPEATEDLY ATTEMPTED TO CALL FOR ASSISTANCE FOR HIS BELEAGUERED TEAMMATES.
REALIZING THE IMPOSSIBILITY OF COMMUNICATING IN THE EXTREME TERRAIN, AND IN THE FACE OF ALMOST CERTAIN DEATH, HE FOUGHT HIS WAY INTO OPEN TERRAIN TO GAIN A BETTER POSITION TO TRANSMIT A CALL. THIS DELIBERATE, HEROIC ACT DEPRIVED HIM OF COVER, EXPOSING HIM TO DIRECT ENEMY FIRE. FINALLY ACHIEVING CONTACT WITH HIS HEADQUARTERS, LIEUTENANT MURPHY MAINTAINED HIS EXPOSED POSITION WHILE HE PROVIDED HIS LOCATION AND REQUESTED IMMEDIATE SUPPORT FOR HIS TEAM.
IN HIS FINAL ACT OF BRAVERY, HE CONTINUED TO ENGAGE THE ENEMY UNTIL HE WAS MORTALLY WOUNDED, GALLANTLY GIVING HIS LIFE FOR HIS COUNTRY AND FOR THE CAUSE OF FREEDOM. BY HIS SELFLESS LEADERSHIP, COURAGEOUS ACTIONS, AND EXTRAORDINARY DEVOTION TO DUTY, LIEUTENANT MURPHY REFLECTED GREAT CREDIT UPON HIMSELF AND UPHELD THE HIGHEST TRADITIONS OF THE UNITED STATES NAVAL SERVICE.
SIGNED GEORGE W. BUSH

15 showed up for #C02PN2RAS4A for a not moderate (thanks to @UMRNJ46AW for the motivation) as there were a handful of #C0ACZR27LN9 participants this morning.

  • @U09JCNEQB5K is living in the current shadow of his father's endex play by play which can only be described as “that's gold Jerry, gold”
  • @U05927TN6V9 has began recruiting new neighbors from Beaufort @chubbs (need to work on the slack entry here Ryan!)
  • @U094RAE1TB6 @U5CESTA4R @U094RAE1TB6 is trying to find new ways to injure himself as this past weekend did not allow for enough opportunities
  • @U012K8DDK7V now takes his shirt off because his traps need to breathe and are heavily chiseled
  • @U5QGBN4V9 looked fresh as a daisy but still sweat like he was watering a field of daisies
  • @UN6PTD007 is picturing himself doing Rocky stair climbs but probably with a sandbag or 3 because he always needs something difficult
  • @U5P2KHLJ2 thought that support staff also carried weight but no one told him this until the endex. #beast
  • @U5MQ8FHV0 is celebrating his 19 year wedding anniversary today!! That is a fact.
  • @U01JUGK82TY was also the Clemson mascot for his time in 🐅 town. Also a fact.
  • @UMRNJ46AW is not one of those fence climbing fools and YHC got a look. @UMDE5QUET shared a similar look. YHC looked away and then ran away.
  • @U790WHUKC is like a squirrel when it comes to climbing fences…so no look was needed. Thx bass.
  • @U03DS2K4BL3 now has a graduate at home (with a J O B!!) and will be dragging his butt to workouts in the near future. We need some young blood!

Murph this Monday with invergence to follow. Please don't say “I can't” or that's too difficult. Modification is a word and an action you can take. Not trying is just giving up on you. Don't be that guy because that's not what you're being trained for.
