WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, low slow squats, merkins

THE THANG:
There are 11 swings around the perimeter of the park. Starting from the parking lot, a tree near the handicap spots was used as the starting point.

Ladder style – shuttle run workout:
1 burpee at the tree, run to the 1st swing and 5 merkins
Back to the tree, 1 burpee, to the 1st bench for 5 merkins, then the 2nd bench for 10 squats.
Back to tree for 1 burpee, 1st swing – 5 merkins, 2nd swing – 10 squats, 3rd swing – 15 LBCs
Following that cadence, the 4th swing was 20 SSH, 5th swing 25 mountain climbers (double count), 6th swing – 5 pull-ups.

Once at 6th swing, work your way back down but in reverse on the other side of the park, still going back to the tree for 1 burpee.
So 5 pull-ups, 25 mountain climbers, back to the tree for a burpee.
Then 5 pull-ups, 25 mountain climbers, 20 ssh, back to the tree for 1 burpee. Keep going until finished.

It’s Wet. YES. Now, Do The Work

Leave a comment

Whenever there's an FNG, I feel the responsibility to turn it up a notch and to ensure I adhere to the principles, cadence calling, and traits of what I love about F3. While it's not up to me to determine the intensity of this morning's workout as I'll let the PAX chime in, what I can control is the adherence to the principles, cadence calling and characteristics of what I love about F3…so long as I don't stray from the 5 Core Principles or the Credo.
Naturally, we reviewed those this morning prior to launching as we had an FNG in the gloom with us, welcome Small Things.

WARMUP: Mosey to the parking lot of FMRX and discover a nicely placed deck of cards. Oh look, what shall we do with these? The intent was to complete ~1/2 the deck utilizing some warm-up exercises and regular exercises and let this serve as our slightly-higher-than-normal-intensity warm-up.
Hearts: Merkins
Clubs: Flutters (count the rt side only)
Spades: Squats
Diamonds: Butt Kickers (count the rt side only)

THE THANG:
Mosey to the big lot on the right at the top of the Massey hill for a large evolution of 4 Corners with a center.
Start in the center of the lot and run to the corner, perform the exercise, run back to the center for 5 burpees, then out to the next corner and back to the center and so on. Complete 2 full rounds.
Corner 1: 15 Hand-Release Merkins
Corner 2: 15 Jump Squats
Corner 3: 15 Carolina Dry Docks
Corner 4: 15 American Hammers

Once everyone completed round 2, we then completed 1 additional round as a group but cut the reps in half.

Mosey to the steps at the Fort Mill Church of the Nazarene. The original plan had us running up and down the set of stairs but due to the rain, we lunge walked up the stairs, walked down and did that 3 times then went to the Church parking lot.
Here I looked at the wienke and realized I had about 7mins of material for the remaining 15mins of time in the hour. A reminder for all, plan a longer workout in case you finish an evolution faster than anticipated. So, what did we do? I preceded to make a few enemies and released the angry gremlin inside Super G.

Welcome back to the Mak Tar Jah followed by the Knee Tar Jah!

Now, mosey back to COT for what turned out to be the fastest naming of an FNG I've ever been apart of.
Welcome, Small Things.

Blimps are fun

Leave a comment

Another super humid morning but it was great seeing 11 other guys show up to get the day started right. Quick disclaimer then mosey around park stopping at each swing for 2 exercises. 10 counts of imperial Walker's, cherry pickers, tempo merkins, low slow squats, wide arm merkins, etc. Mosey down trail behind park to the grass hill for accumulating BLIMPS. 5 burpees, then either run up big hill or smaller side hill and return. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, nur up hill. 5 burpees, 10 lunges, 15 imp squat Walker's, bear crawl up hill (not my idea but someone really wanted to bear crawl). Same 5, 10, 15, then 20 merkins, run up hill. Same 5, 10, 15, 20, then 25 plank jacks and nur up hill. Last round 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 SSHs then mosey back to amphitheater. Partner up. P1 does flying squirrel while P2 holds plank. P2 drops to 6 inch plank hold and P1 jumps over. Repeat for total of 8 flying squirrels then flap jack. Yog around amphitheater then rinse and repeat. Yog back to COT for a few ab exercises then times up. Appreciate the opportunity @U08QLQH6J68

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.

AI Gone Wild

Leave a comment

The talk of the morning was about the AI videos created by JWOW had gone off the rails. The conversation would take our minds off the wet and rainy weather.
We began with a trip around the park stopping at each swing for an exercise. We detoured twice out in the field to enjoy the moist grass. Next, we made our way to front of Pike Engineering where we did three rounds of dips, derkins, split squats. Short trip to the adjacent parking lot for three rounds of partner exercises, Partner 1 ran while Partner 2 did muscle ups on the brick wall.
Next, we bear crawled to the top parking lot, continue our journey to the parking lot across from the Donut Shop. We did a short version of concaine bear. Ran it backways, replaced merkins with CCDs.
We made our way to Print Shop for 10 good pull-ups. Back to WEP for a round of 7s and a bear crawl around the theater.
