Pledge and COT

Announcements: This Saturday is the first Saturday in July, so Bedrock will be hosting the rotating Saturday workout at 0600.  Guild is Wednesday at 0500 at Wescott Park.

Devo: When fewer people are voting, your vote has more sway…keep that in mind on days like today when there are primary run-off elections.

Moleskin: I brought back a workout I did in November 2020 on Election Day with a few minor adjustments.  It is a good mix of strength work and cardio, and seemed to be well received.  We welcomed Daniel-San (Alonzo Crawford) to F3 Summerville, as he recently moved to the area after being a part of F3 in Mt. Pleasant.  Always nice to see a new face at Bedrock.

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Several events in the coming months.  Easter Convergence & Beast Week included.  Saturday workout is at Tectonic

Devo: Being prepared is important, but it is also important to be adaptable, flexible, and nimble, as your plans can be great, but life can still throw you curveballs.

Moleskin: I hadn’t Q’d in over 5 months (a mix of injury rehab, burnout, laziness, etc), but realized I needed to step up again to help lead the great men of Bedrock.  I recycled one of my old favorites, the Squatro…and it seems to always get good reviews as a great leg workout, and I through some ab exercises and a bit of upper body as well.

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

Conditions: replace with weather

FNGs:

Being authentic, and not just going through the motions and the need to have deep relationships with some brothers so so someone has always got your 6.  We need to have brothers in the foxhole with us.  All relationships are 2 way, though, and you need to have their 6 as well.

I know i need to be more intentional to find a brother or 2 that I can link up with a little closer, than just seeing at F3 and work.

Just like a woman needs a close girlfriend to confide in with only women things, we as guys still surprisingly need that too with other men.

You have to have a good relationship with yourself first.  GET alone, with God and allow Him to reveal to you who you are, who you are not, and who you were made to be.

The 5 C’s

consistency, commitment, candor, courage, and contentment.

Cold and like 32 degrees

6 pack of pax with 6 doughnuts and coffee

We discussed “what is your WHY in life”

I’m doing sheepdog, and goose said he’s going to periodically ask us what our why is, so I’ve been doing some soul searching

I’ve come up with a list of 5 in order and they all have to do with my relationships

1- relationship with god

2-relationship with my wife

3-relationship with my children

4-relationship with my friends(brothers)

5-relationship with myself

Keep in mind that my why is still a rough draft, but I also don’t think it will change too much, just the tieing it in part

What does that have to do with sheepdog or f3?

I have always maintained the belief that F3 makes me a better person.  If that is true, then that should trickle down into all aspects of my life.  But it has to go deeper, I have to go deeper, hence Q’ing the guild and sheepdog.

I think that about covers it.

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

Conditions: 42. Cold, breezy.

FNGs: nope.

COP:  Grab blocks, Squat Presses through the 5 Principles. If you’re getting up to work out at 0500, you should know why.

The Thang:

In Teams of 2-

300 Curls for the Girls

300 OH Press

100 WWII sit-ups.

One HIM does the work, the other takes a lap around the gravel lot.

Once all groups had completed, a PAX calls his least favorite exercise and moseys to the No Parking sign and back.

Some exercises included- heel taps, squat thrusters, burpees, OH Presses, WWI sit-ups. I’m sure I missed at least 1 other.

Mary: Sally. Led by Mayhem. She’s a total B.

Numberama: 8

Namerama: Fish n Chips, Repo, Old D, Swamp Fox, Mayhem, Easy In, Placebo, Wreck-It Ralph

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Ruck for hunger coming up- look for updates on Facebook. Holiday party coming up.

Devo: Leave no man behind, but leave no man where you found him. Check-in on your brothers. Blood, and friends. The holidays can be hard, and you never know what’s going on with people. A 30 second phone call can make all the difference in someone’s world. Don’t be a dick. You can afford some grace.

Moleskin:   That one felt good. It was cold, but we managed to keep moving the entire time.
