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.

Reduce Reuse Recycle

having been put in charge of both of our running with push-up AOs this week, I decided to make them entry level. it does not mean easy, it just means easy to understand what is required to do. to that end, I decided to recycle some of the easier to follow Qs in which I have participated.

the word, recycle and reuse together often. remind me of a program I saw in fourth grade. you may have bag memories of being hurted into your elementary school gymnasium in order to see what amounts to a public service announcement or little skit or play put on by a bunch of kids , maybe a small performance by the 5th graders who got to start orchestra. but the one I remember most vividly is being brought to that sad little gymnasium to watch a dude dressed up as McDonald’s mascot and Ronald McDonald caper about singing about reducing reusing and recycling. somehow they burned half an hour of our day listening to Ronald McDonald it’s founding on the virtues of mineralism in a 1980s world where everything was designed to be thrown away immediately after use.

WARMUP: the pledge of allegiance
THE THANG: run to Hardee’s. pair up. run opposite directions saying the block. On the east side (post post office) do 5, 10 and then 15 partners BBSU. Then 15 every time. continue running until meeting up at or around the Hardee’s lot. where you at 5, 10, 15 partner pushups. after the pushups, run the way you came back. this way each partner gets to run both directions around the block multiple times. sort of like a weird freaking Newton cradle
with about 4 minutes left PAX were gathered and Bandcamp led burpees while YHC perform the exhausting job of keeping an eye out for stragglers
MARY: 30-45s of flutters while YHC grabbed my phone
ANNOUNCEMENTS: duties were assigned to Funhouse
COT: duties were assigned to Funhouse

On like Donkey Kong

Warm-up lap around the carpool line with ruck only. Circled back to pick up sandbags and headed to the Amphitheater. Carried bag and ruck to first level, 10 ruck swings. Followed path back down to the bottom with ruck only. Bear crawled back to bag, carried both to second level, 15 squat thrusters, and back to bottom with ruck. Bear crawl back to bag, carry both to next level, 15 man makers. One more level, kind of like Donkey Kong without the flaming barrels. Bear crawl to the top level, flutter with ruck overhead, 25 in cadence,
Next, we traveled back to the front of the school with ruck and sandbags. We each took turns moving the sandbags between the cones, about 50 yards while the others performed exercises with their rucks. When it was my turn to move the sandbags, I called man makers and quickly changed the exercise after the “Debbie Downer” faces from the other pax. We did arrived at the flag a bit early so we finished up with man makers.
Great job everyone!
