COT: The theme today was built around Struggle because the Summer Steam has kicked into high gear and the core of the F3 engine for me is Shared Suffering. These pax suffered through a tough workout with grit and encouragement throughout. The Struggle in the Gloom can be hard, but the hardest struggles come once we leave the parking lot after COT. The suffering life deals is real and difficult. And the personal struggles that exist inside the heart and mind can be the toughest of all.

Don't believe the lies in your head that other men aren't struggling. We all struggle, from the sharpest and fittest Nantan to the gimpy pax trying to get off IR. DON'T STRUGGLE ALONE! The reason we post is to build the grit and the brotherhood that will get us through every struggle!

Appreciate the contributions of all throughout the workout and in COT!

Thanks for the invite JWOW! You were missed.

Gam Guillotine Redux

This BB is going to be easy, at least for the workout part. In honor of the 10th anniversary of my first F3 workout โ€“ 6/29/2016 at Pantheon with Jekyll on Q โ€“ I decided to recreate his Q nearly verbatim. I was able to find his original back blast. This is yet ANOTHER reason to do these things!!
WARMUP:
Mosey around the lower parking lot, then circle up near COT for the following:

  • 20 SSH
  • 10 WM
  • 15 IW
  • 20 MNC
  • 10 strawberry pickers

Then mosey over to the top of the hill on the roadway next to the USMC JROTC building.
THE THANG:
Gam Guillotine
Start at the top of the hill.
Round 1
5 squats, run to stop sign at bottom, then do 5 jump squats. 1 round is up and back. Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back up at the top.
Lungewalked 1/2 way down, crabwalk 1/2 way down. NUR back up the hill to start.
Round 2
5 lunges each leg, then run down to bottom, then 5 Mary Catherines each leg (or 5 jump squats each leg). Do 5 rounds total. Ended up back at the top of the hill.
Round 3
Jack webbs. 1 Merkin, then 4 overhead claps. 10 rounds total, to where we did 10 merkins, 40 OH claps last round.
Back to COT.
>> It was just as horrible today as it was 10 years ago, and it hurt ALOT back then. Back then we ran 'the camelback' portion of the path to heart attack hill in Tega Cay, a short section less than 1/10th a mile but had 12-15% grade. I remember almost passing out on round 8 of the hill. This time we had only 5-7% grade and it was still nasty.
MARY:
We got back to COT with enough time to knock out 20 flutters (2 ct), that's it. Time's up.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Alot going on. Read the newsletter, get involved. If you do not see something in the newsletter or hear in the COTs that you want to push, then push it, lead it. Invigorate your male community leadership.
COT:
Alot lifted up. Welcome back Tang!

Thanks for the opportunity to lead.
Blessings and SYITG,
