Welcome Back Mr. Clean

Leave a comment

Five strong met at Runde Park for a beatdown in swampy mid-July SC conditions. Here is what they did:

THE THANG:
Senator Tressel on Q:
Mosey from the parking lot to the 1st field, take a lap, and continue to the 2nd fiield, take a lap and circle up for COP:

SSH x 25, windmill x 10, squat x 25, merkin x 10/hold/left arm/leg high/flip/dip x 10/flip, right arm/leg high/6″ hold repeat twice and recover, alternate lung x 20, mountain climbler x 25, hellow dolly x 25, pretzel crunch x 25, box cutter x 20, diamond merkin x 10

Tunnel of love x 3 cycles.

Mosey to concessions stand wall for extended peoples chair (90 sec) followed by BTTW. Rinse and repeat.

Mosey to the playground and split into two groups. Group 1 does 10 pull-ups while group 2 does reverse step-ups. Rinse and repeat two more times.

Handoff to M. Clean:
Everyone pick up a cinder block and head to the end of the parking lot. Do 20 reps of the following exercises with a run to the opposite end of the lot and back between each exercise.

Exercises with cinder blocks: squats, bench press, burpees, shoulder press, elevated CDD, right arm and left arm push up, upright row w/squat, curls, core heel touches, flutters, ground to shelf and block pass around (no time for this one).

MARY: See above

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read your newsletter

COT: Prayers for ST’s mom and friends with cancer, Fish Sticks’ family going through transition, and Walker’s son looking for a new job opportunity.

I got the call yesterday to assist Mr. Clean with his Q and I was happy to help him out. He’s been away from F3 for a while and it was good to have him back. There was a lot of chatter and jokes today about getting older, and the things you have to do at the doctor when you approach 50 (Backdraft was the ‘warbaby’ at 47). Today, I turned 59, and Alcatraz has been my home on Saturday mornings for the past 10 years. I’ve always been injury prone and as I get older, the injuries seem to get more frequent and take longer to get over. But, somehow, my body recovers and I can still do these hard F3 workouts during the week and on Saturdays. It’s truly a blessing and something I never take for granted.

Just What the Doctor Ordered

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Short mosey to side lot for COP
THE THANG:
COP:
SSH x 20, merkin x 10, windmill x 15, downward/upward dog x 2, squat x 20, large arm circles x 20, small arm circles x 20. burpees x 7

Line up in groups of 3:
40 yd sprints with short recovery (5 reps) (take a 10 ct)

Mosey to the artificial turf for Jack Web (1:4 ratio, 10 reps). This was planned for only 7 reps, but Bowser and Ironclade pushed us to do 10. Well done, young men!

Mosey to the school building for several sets of people’s chair, wheelbarrows, lungewalk, crabwalk, and bearcrawl.

10 monkey humpers prompted by Uhaul who was rucking past the pax.

‘Secret Service detal’: around Uhaul for a bit as the pax moseyed back to the large parking lot for Mary.

MARY:
Freddie Mercury x 10, Boat and Canoe x 5, LBC x 20, Superman x 2, Body destroyer to close it out.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
F3 Charity Shoot to benefit Ft. Mill Care Center on Nov 11
Bourbon tasting to benefit Ft. Mill Schools on Nov 18
Please sign up if you plan to attend so organizers get a head count. Thanks to Change Order and Cyclops for their leadership and commitment to 3rd F.

COT:
Following a really crappy day at work, and a sleepless night because of it, today’s Q could not have come at a better time.
It was already scheduled several weeks ago, but perhaps a higher power was at work here, knowing that today was the day I really needed it. I knew I would feel better after some physcial exercise, but the pax who provided me with a laugh or kind word really put me back in the right frame of mind. At the close of COT, I felt 100% better. Thank you, men!

We had a great group today and the mumble chatter and jokes made for a really fun workout. It was a pleasure to lead the group as always, and I’m truly thankful for the pax of F3. I gotta give a shoutout to our juniors, Ironclad and Bowser, who are regulars at our Saturday workouts and are developing a really good habit for life. Keep up the good work, guys!

Prayers for the F3 Pax affected by the deaths or illnesses of mothers and grandmothers (Bassomatic, Boogie Down, Uhaul).

Prayers for my friend Joe with cancer and the continued recovery of my co-worker Justin (Covid). Traveling mercies for the several HS band students on the road this wknd for competitions.

10 Year Convergence

Leave a comment

Ten year celebration came to a close this morning with a convergence at WEP. 12 men came earlier for a run to support Operation Sweet Tooth. 84 men attended the main event with three great HIM leading the workout: CSPAN, Maximum, and WWL. No warm-ups this morning. CSPAN took his group around the block with various stops along the way. Seven reps of Flying Squirrels, Merkins, and Sit-ups. WWL had playtime at the playground. Burpees and Pull-ups along with running fast around the playground. Did I mention Power Skips? Maximum had a simple plan. Run backwards up the hill many times and destroy your abs with American Hammers.
We closed the chapter on the first 10 years.
Monday begin the next.
The future is bright.
How will you contribute to the next 10 years?
Make an impact.

Looking behind curtain number 3

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Brief mosey around the fake track by the gym followed by COP with various classics

THE THANG: The Main Event started with a brief stop at the only real grass at The Yard for some Knee Tar N’Diayes and Mahktar N’Diayes. Then we moseyed to the gym wall for three rounds of the following:

Donkey Kicks x10
Monkey Humpers x20
Merkins x30
Squats x40
Flutters x50

After each round we recovered with either Lunge Walks, Bear Crawls or Backward Lunge Walks

Mosey back to main parking lot for tunes by UHaul plus some more exercises

MARY: Bitcoin took the baton and led the pax through some Mary, capped by a plankorama triggered by UHaul.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Many good things going on in The Fort. Read your newsletter and join in along the way.

COT: Welcome to FNG Stinger! he posted after hearing the Order of Man podcast with DOAH. Thankfully he chose to post despite what he heard. He will be back and will fit right in like he’s been here forever.

Bitcoin took the Shovel Flag today! Great to have this Accelerating pax step into a leadership role. Put The Yard on your Sat itinerary — he’ll keep this AO soaring!

The pax pushed through the Main Event with perseverance. Some mumblechatter from Crab Cakes and UHaul plus some Form Police from Peabody kept spirits light enough. Apparently Fogertys guidance that The Yard is a 45 min boot camp (and not a Moderate boot camp) hasnt made its way to all the pax. It’s clear everyone can handle it from today’s work, including our FNG Stinger who wasn’t far behind our King, Runy Slippers. Also near the front was Old Bay, who is clearly accelerating following his return to the Gloom.

Thanks to Fogerty for resurrecting The Yard. We have a trio of good options on Sat now — nice work!

Always an honor to lead the pax. SYITG!
