Weather:  Calm between the driving rain storms

Warmup: TTT, Monkey Humpers, SSH Variations

THANG:  Mosey to shed and get block return to open grass area.   Q calls the Exercise of choice and the PAX runs to first spot (5 Burpees), returns to start, runs to 2nd spot (10 jump squats), returns to start, runs to end of open area (15 Merkins), returns to start.  Plank up until 6 in.  Rinse and repeat.

Exercises: Up and Overs, Curls for Girls, Ovhd Press, Damn Its,

Change up of routine to 5 Burpees, 10 Monkey Humpers, 15 WWI Situps and all returns running backwards

Exercises: Tricep Extensions, Bent Over Rows, Flutter Kicks

Stowed blocks.

MARY:  No time for Mary

Moleskin:  The Q was unpredictable on the number of reps which kept the PAX wondering how many at the start and not knowing how many more were left to do.  That’s what makes being the Q better than being one of PAX. Placebo provided the Bourbon Balls to cap off a good night.  Cheers!

Devo:  As a HIM, you need to be deliberate and intentional in your actions.  Don’t say “I don’t care”.  Be the leader.

The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Conditions: Nice and muggy

FNGs: no FNGs

COP:  SSH (x15), TTT (x15 IC), Imperial Walkers (x15 IC)

The Thang:

In preparation for the monthly fitness test at The Ditch, to be held end of the month, YHC decided to deconstruct the Swampfox. The Swampfox monthly fitness test is comprised of 20 reps of the following: burpees, V-ups, and squats w/ block. This is then followed by a run down to towards the end of the trail and back to startex. This is conducted OYO for max “laps”.

Today YHC broke the Swampfox into 20 hand release merkins, 20 bobby hurleys, run to towards end of trail, 20 squats (no block), 20 V-ups, run back to startex. Rinse repeat together as one unit.

Mumble chatter: V-ups performed on your back … not to be confused with VBAC (Vaginal birth after c-section) 😉

Conditions: 73 degrees and a little humid

FNGs: Disclaimer given, no FNGs.

COP:  SSH, TTT, Imperial Walkers

The Thang:

Today was the monthly Fitness Test for The Den.  It is the King of the Corner.

The Pax completes 10 rounds of the following exercises as fast as possible.  Fastest time is the King for the month.

20 OHP, 20 squats with block, 20 curls, 20 LBCs, and sprint 30 yards and complete 10 burpees.

 

Mary:

No more (see above)

Numberama: 9

Namerama: Brokeback, Oops, Mr. Feeney, Olaf, Thumper, Weezer, Hacker, Outhouse, and Uga

Pledge and COT

Announcements:

Devo: The devo was the Qs perspective on the world response to the murder of George Floyd.  Listen to what people are saying.  Racism and prejudice are unfortunately constant realities in the world.  For any that think because they “aren’t racist” there isn’t a problem, they are part of the problem.  The hope is not for protest to stop, but for the world to change.  At some point, we must judge people for who they are, not the color of their skin.

Moleskin:  We has quite the competitive fitness test today.  Outhouse won by half a round, but Weezer and Uga gave chase the whole time.  Outhouse was inspired by the memory of his good friend and the loss of his father.  Good win in his honor!

Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator.
– Colossians 3:9-10

A 2008 Dominican University study found that people are more apt to fulfill goals when they write them down. While I’m sure that is true, I also know that when we make our desires known to God and give our lives to Him we are more successful and accomplished than even we can imagine. So, beginning today, talk to Jesus about your goals. Ask Him for wisdom and guidance to get there — or to go someplace even better that He has planned for you. Every day with Jesus is one of renewal. New Year, New Goals needs New Legs.

Moleskin:
YHC doesn’t skip leg day. Glad to hear Chedda has the Q Saturday because YHC will be DR with basketball.

FNGs: None

COP:  SSH (IC) x20, Imperial Walkers (IC) x15, TTT (IC) x10, Don Quixote (IC) x15,  LBAC

The Thang:

Grabbed a block and did Whole Lotta Numberama.  YHC picked exercises that had 2 positions (i.e. merikins, Low Plank and High Plank).  YHC would start as 1 and go to the first position and pax would go around in numberama and moving to the first position when they called their number. When it got back to YHC, we would call 1 again and move to the next position.  Rinse and repeat until YHC was tired or tired of the exercise.  Some of the exercises were:

  • Merkins
  • Squats
  • Flutter Kicks
  • Derkins
  • Lunges
  • Xs and Os (on the block)
  • Curls (Done by stopping 1/2 way)
  • Leg Lifts (6 inches to 45 degrees)

Announcements: Pray Request for Tommy and Henry family

Devo: YHC brought up discussion with his Mom the other day and how she was very negative and he realized that it was out of a fear that everyone was out out to get her and had an ulterior motive.  Do we miss out on God because we live in fear like this?  It’s not a great way to live.

Moleskin:   YHC promised this one on Wednesday and again was pretty good…

Announcements: Be on the lookout for upcoming Christmas/Holiday events.  Pray request for Goober’s Brother-in Law’s father

Devo: YHC talked again about what God spoke to him about on the mountain in not limiting Him.  Just read James 4 where we boast in the future and what we will do but we don’t know.  It’s good to plan for the future, but are we limiting what God can do because WE set the path.

Moleskin:   Cool running this morning and Saget pushed YHC to 5 miles under 45 mins.  Excited for better running weather.

Moleskin:

The FNG earned his name Splash Gordon after taking off from the workout during burpees for the train x12 for some “water.” Later after BOM he graciously stepped away during devo to splash Merlot. Hence the name Splash Gordon. 14 Men stayed after for Q school with Muscadine for which I was reprimanded for providing a more accurate count prior so there would be enough Q packets. Way to show off gentlemen and step up to be future leaders with F3 and your community. Please continue to out perform all expectations. Please remember it is ok to Q the Q, we all need to learn how to manage constructive criticism.

It’s just a matter of deciding you want something and sticking to it. All it takes is the will and mental toughness to keep you going.

Moleskin:
Did the Swampfox from 5:03 to 5:41am. It was just as generously terrible as last time.  Great push guys!
