Control what you can control
Raise your children well
Contribute to your community
We are all vessels of something – what are you a vessel of?

All PAX got 3 miles plus exercises – 60 minutes of solid work put in by all. And great to see some newer and less familiar faces returning to the gloom. In the words of DD – Just Keep Posting.

MARY: nope – open to all men

Med balls, sandbags and sledgehammers

Leave a comment

WARMUP: Moroccan night clubs, low slow squats, low slow merkins. Windmills
THE THANG: mes balls and sandbags were lined up. Pax formed a line and started tossing them over the shoulder, rotate, we had 9 bags of different weights for the rotation.

Bring bags to bottom of parking lot. 4 pax will bear crawl and push/roll the medballs up the hill while rest of pax will toss sandbags forward, rotate as needed between to complete 2 circuits.

We had 3 sledgehammers waiting for us…

Next. 3 pax with hold one sledgehammer each with one hand with arm straight out and hold it while rest of pax mosey around parking lot carrying, sandbags, medballs and rucks. Rotate as needed for 10 minutes alternating between hammers and mosey.

Back to pushing medballs up the hill while bear crawling, 10 pax bear crawled up and down the hill in a rotating form while 3 pax made “halos” with the hammers, rotate again between hammers and med balls. another 10 minutes.

I’ve been wanting to try the bear crawl /med ball push for a while and now it’s one of my favorite modes of transportation.

Shoulders will be smoking tomorrow.

S2S meets the coach’s box

Leave a comment

WARMUP: rucks up
THE THANG: ruck towards FMHS, approximately 0.75 miles, the night before I had talked to Badlands to meet with the coach’s box crew at the hill by the football stadium so we can share our gear.
Quick warmup led by Badlands: circled up for SSH, WM, IW, MNC, LSS all IC. We brought 3 sandbags and 6 rucks to the party so we utilized them in a mini-DORA. Instructions were a little mixed up at the beginning because we ended up with 5 groups of 3 PAX… bottom of the hill: 50 burpees – while 2 of the PAX did overhead rifle carry up the hill with sandbag/ruck 100 squats – while 2 of the PAX did farmers carry up the hill with sandbag/ruck 150 merkins – while 2 of the PAX did bear hug carry up the hill with sandbag/ruck, for the final movement we split into 3 groups of 5 PAX and rotated throwing the sandbag up and down the hill

Time to head back to COT, another 0.75 miles to go.
MARY: broga and stretches.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Manion hero Ruck on 9/14.
COT: stays in cot

Goat Track

Leave a comment

WARMUP:
– SSH x30
– Merkins x10
– Peter Parkers x10
– Windmills x10
THE THANG:
Ran to Fort Mill Golf Club which has apparently moved to Augusta National status because we were turned away by the guy pulling the carts out. So a quick audible turned us around and headed back to the top of the steep hill on Withers St.

Here we would still play golf on something not nearly as nice as the course we planned to play. Nasty courses are commonly referred to as Goat Tracks.

9 Holes of Golf:
– Top of the hill is the tee box (perform 2 squats for the first hole, 4 for the second, etc.)
– Circular grass island in front of Fort Mill Baptist Church is the green (1 burpee for the first hole, 2 for the second, etc.)
– Run back and forth between the two points to complete 9 holes.

Most people got through the 7th hold before we needed to call it to mosey back.

MARY:
Took turns calling exercises for 5 min

I am truly grateful for being a part of F3. Special thanks to Deacon for the constant persuasion to get me out to try this F3 thing 8 years ago.
