It’s always a pleasure to start the weekend with some friends in the park. Though we could have done without the heat and humidity, it nonetheless set us on the right path for the day. Happy birthday, boys. Hope it was a good one!

The Loredo

WARMUP: 20 SSH, 20, Hillbilly Walkers, Moroccan Nightclubs (or some version of that)
THE THANG:
The Thang
We put our own spin on Loredo, kicking things off with the run:
6 Rounds for Time

  • 🏃 400-meter Run
  • 🦵 24 Squats
  • 💪 24 Merkins
  • 🚶 24 Walking Lunges

The prescribed 24 reps represent the 24th day of June, the day Staff Sgt. Loredo made the ultimate sacrifice.
Every PAX pushed through, encouraged one another, and crossed the finish line. The pace varied, but the effort did not. Everyone finished on their own time, proving once again that in F3, it’s not about being first—it’s about refusing to quit.
Not satisfied with just one beatdown, we followed it up with some 11s:

  • 📍 Sideline to sideline
  • Big Boys
  • Monkey Humpers

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
The point of doing things in cadence is to stay together to push through pain and fatigue. Like much of F3, if I could do it on my own, I’d have done it already. Stay together and keep pushing

The Journey of Getting Better

On repeat

WARMUP: Yes:
SSH,
IW,
HW,
yoga w/
shoulder taps
peter parkers

THE THANG:
6 deadlifts
5 hang cleans
4 front squats
3 over head presses
2 manmakers
Then move!

We just did that on repeat. Like wiping down the counters, doing the laundry, dealing with traffic, or making the bed, some stuff isn't awful once or at first, but the monotony of having to do it day after day after day after day after day grinds on you.

Gotta build the strength to keep on keeping on. It ain't about what you WANT to do; it's about what you GET TO do, or what you NEED TO do. Often an authentic meaning is found in the work you've been avoiding.

Post CSAUP FOMO

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.
