Devo:

1 Samuel 14:7:  “Do all that you have in mind,” his armor-bearer said. “Go ahead; I am with you heart and soul.”

Jonathan was going to take on the Philistines against very heavy odds with just him and his armor bearer. His armor bearer was with him “heart and soul.” What an encouragement! Do you have a fellow brother who is willing to battle beside you with his heart and soul? If not, start building those relationships by seeking to be that person for a man you know. F3 isn’t just about fitness, fellowship and faith are also key components. We need men around us, battling with us in the trenches.

Moleskin: A party of five today. T-claps to Sakrete and Cheetah for doing the BJDD. Strong work men. There was a good bit of mumble chatter to keep the crew laughing during what seemed like an innumerable number of step-ups. Hard Drive forgot his gloves… which apparently happens frequently. Thanks for the opportunity to lead men!

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

Conditions: Moist from the rain from the day before, but slightly cooler than it has been over the last couple of weeks

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward x10 IC), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
After the warm-up, Pax gathered at the spot we normally do the Cardiac, and got the instructions for the Tabata’s being done during the workout…40 seconds of hard work, followed by 20 seconds of rest.  Here were the exercises done for each Tabata:
-Merkins
-Squats
-Wide Merkins
-LBCs
-Burpees

Began the Thang:
-Tabata #1
-Mosey to wiffle ball field the back way
-Tabata #2
-Mosey to the big baseballs at the front of the park
-Tabata #3
-Mosey to the parking lot closest to the baseballs
-Roundabout 7s w/ jump-squats and hand-release merkins (same idea as typical 7s, just running around the parking lot, and doing the exercises at each end of the oval, instead of running back and forth) – Had to cut this a little short to make sure we had time for Mary…but most people got close to finishing
-Mosey back to the flag, w/ the ruckers taking the lead

Mary: Freddy Mercurys x20 IC; Heel Touches x25 IC; LBCs x40 IC

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ a social & fundraising event at Shortcake’s farm at 1pm.  Bring 2.0s to the workout, and bring 2.0s and Ms to the event at the farm. 4th of July Convergence at the Ditch…Bedrock will not be open that day.  LQ at Stalker’s house tonight.

Devo: Father’s Day may be a day to celebrate the one’s with us with kids, but use that day to be mindful of what it takes to be a good father, and then follow through with that throughout the year.

Moleskin:   Typically, the 2nd Thursday of the month is when the Cardiac (monthly fitness test) is held at Bedrock.  But this month, it has been moved to the end of the month as a part of Beast Week, so I was contractually obligated to NOT do the Cardiac.  So we did not do the Cardiac.  Any similarities that today’s workout had with the Cardiac were purely coincidental.  Also, shout-out to Wreck-It Ralph and DeFib as they ignored my disclaimer that today’s workout wasn’t the friendliest to ruckers, and they still did it w/ their rucks on most of the time.

Moleskin:   75 years ago our parents, grandparents, and great grandparents stormed the beaches of Normandy to rid the world of the greatest evil it had ever known. Every man that boarded a boat, climbed in a cockpit, rode in a glider, or otherwise got across the channel that day, and for years beyond is a hero and a national treasure. YHC tried to impart a little bit of D-Day wisdom into the PAX and the movements wee used in the workout. Hopefully, we did them reasonably proud.

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

Conditions: Hot/Muggy

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; LBAC (forward & backward OYO), slow mosey around the parking lot.

The Thang:
Each man grabs a cinder block, and then I divided the Pax into groups of 3 (though I had to have two groups of 4 due to having 17 Pax).  At all times during the workout, one member of your group will be carrying, one will be running, and one will be exercising.  The ‘carrying’ member will transport two cinder blocks around the dirt parking lot.  While he is doing that, another member of the team will be running sprints between the entrance of the dirt parking lot, and the light pole on the right.  The third member of the group will be performing an exercise.  Once the block carrier returns, trade places so that all members will go through a cycle of Carrying/Running/Exercising.  Once all members have completed the first exercise, they move onto the next.  The exercises were:
-Flutter Kicks w/ the block
-Blockees
-Overhead Press
-Curls for the Girls
And then we ran out of time.

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ an event at Shortcake’s farm at 1pm.  Bring 2.0s to the workout, and bring 2.0s and Ms to the event at the farm.

Devo: Even a day removed from Memorial Day, do not forget the purpose of the day…to honor the men/women that paid the ultimate price in service to our Nation.

Moleskin:   YHC really doesn’t like carrying cinder blocks.  I especially don’t like to carry two at a time.  But for some reason, I felt like we needed a workout that incorporated a lot of cinder block carrying.  Unfortunately, not all cinder blocks involved in the workout made it out alive.  We had one casualty, and we made sure to pay tribute with 10 burpees.  Hopefully all of the Pax got a good workout today so that the cinder block’s life wasn’t lost in vain.

DECK OF CARDS/ CATCH ME IF YOU CAN/ SAKRETE SHUFFLE

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

Conditions: Low 70’s clear and humid AF

FNGs:  Not today

COP: 10 TTT IC slow and deep to stretch out this hamstrings; YHC instructed PAX to leave arms up until told otherwise.  20 LBAC forward, 20 LBAC backward, 20 over head clap and 20 moraccan night clubs all IC.

Drop arms.

The Thang:

Slow jog to YHC pickup to get phone.  Slow jog back to flag.  Figured out who our youngest PAX was and instructed to pick what would be used as a wild card.  Hard Drive picked the Jack.  Began working through the deck of cards with the exercises as follows:

Hearts: Curls for the girls

Diamonds: Tricep extension

Clubs: Over head press

Spades: Chest Press.

When the jack was drawn each Pax would line up on the start line and Bernie Sanders (backwards run) while one PAX did 5 burpees and 5 squats and sprinted towards the other PAX.  When he reached the group another man began his burpees and squats while the remaining continued Bernie Sanders.  Continue this until all PAX did their burpees and squats.  Once the last PAX reached the group slow jog back to flag.  Completed 3/4 of Jacks and no jokers were drawn.  Got through about 3/4 of the deck.

Sakrete Shuffle around the track.  Run the track until arriving at a set of bleachers.  Run up and back down every set all the way around bleachers.  This was named the Sakrete Shuffle shortly after the launch of The Jones by our buddy Lottalove.

Devo: Q fail.  Nothing lined up and let the PAX get away before giving the devo.

Moleskin:  YHC sat down 5 or 6 different times and tried to come up with a weinke for today.  Kept getting distracted.  As I was heading to The Jones from Bedrock decided to go ahead and go with the deck of cards.  Always a trusty one.  Threw in the “catch me if you can” for an additional suck.  Defib is an animal.  BJ double down with a ruck at both locations.  If you can get out to The Jones for either a Q or even just a posting make it happen.  Tough guys and a great AO.

Devo: 

A Good Man

Joseph, her fiance, was a good man and did not want to disgrace her publicly, so he decided to break the engagement quietly. (NLT) ( Matthew 1:19 )

 

Mary became pregnant with Jesus after she was engaged to Joseph.  Imagine how Joseph must have felt when he learned his fiancee was pregnant, not knowing who the father was.  Anger, bitterness, and betrayal had to have been stirring in his heart.  He was justified to publicly stone her for her actions.  Yet, being the man he was, he chose to quietly walk away.  Fortunately, an angel stepped in and set him straight about the Father.  When you feel anger, bitterness, betrayal and have every right to retaliate, how can you extend grace and mercy to your circumstances?

Moleskin:  YHC doesn’t get the opportunity to Q at the TOTS very often.  The PAX is always very welcoming.  However, the boys over at Sugar Mountain’s Q over at Bedrock must have really missed me.  I was the topic of a few of the PAX conversations.  It’s always nice to hear that folks are talking about you and value you friendship so much they speak of you when you aren’t around.  I missed you boys too  and I’ll be back.  Cannoli and Probie informed me there was a shorter route to get to the block pile from the flag but I was unable to find it.  When bringing out the Thunderstruck for Mary as opposed to the at beginning High Stick informed me he hated me and called me a MFer.  I used to take offense to that term until about 3.5 years ago.  (I have a 3 year old at home for those that don’t know).  I hope City Slicker, Flanders and Chum enjoyed their conversation about me.  I’ll be back on Thursday to defend myself.

FNGs: None

COP: SSH x 30 IC; TTT x 10 IC; Mountain Climbers x 15 IC; Indian Run (in 3 lines) to the baseballs at the entrance of the park and back to the flag.

The Thang:

Each man grabs a cinderblock and reassembles at the flag; YHC explain that I’ll be giving the Pax some individual choices about the exercises they can do…
-Decision #1 – 15 OH Press or 15 Triceps Extension (single count OYO)
-Decision #2 – 15 Curls for the Girls or 15 Bent-Over Rows (single count OYO)
-Decision #3 – 15 Chest Presses or 15 Dammits (single count OYO)
-Do a second set of the same three exercises you did above, 15x each single count OYO
-Mosey to the bridge
-Decision #4 – Bear-crawl or Crab-walk back and forth between bridge rails (2x)
-Decision #5 – 15 Decline Merkins or 15 Triceps Dips after crossing the road each time w/ whatever method you picked in #4 above.
-Mosey to wall…due to large turnout, had Pax split up between low wall and high wall.
-Decision #6 (low wall) – Box Jumps or Toe Taps (for one minute)
-Decision #7 (high wall) – People’s Chair or Plank w/ feet on wall (for one minute)
-After one minute, Pax switch walls and make a decision there.
-Mosey to far parking lot
-Decision #8 – Stayin’ Alives w/ choice of 3 burpees or 10 squats after returning to the start each time.
-Mosey back to the wall
-YHC now uses the Pax’s earlier choices against them.  They have to do the exercise they avoided in Decisions #6 & #7 for 90 seconds each.
-Mosey to bridge
-Pax must do the exercises/movements they avoided in Decisions #4 & #5…crossing the road 4x, and doing 10 reps of each of the exercises from Decision #5 each time.
-Ran out of time, so moseyed back to the circle and stowed the blocks

Announcements: Father’s Day Convergence will be on June 15 along w/ an event at Shortcake’s farm…details to come.

Devo: You face a lot of choices in life.  And often times, you don’t get the benefit of hindsight.  So if you make a decision and it turns out poorly due to circumstances that you could not have reasonably foreseen, then there’s no reason to beat yourself up over it.

Moleskin:   YHC was long overdue to start Qing, so after facilitating the Cardiac at Bedrock a couple of times, and after co-Qing w/ Sprinkles a couple of months ago, I finally stepped up w/ my first real solo Q.  The turnout by the Pax was amazing and forced YHC to have to modify the Weinke a bit due to our size.  Also, this Weinke had a lot of instructions for the Pax, so the large numbers worried me a bit, but I was able to cut through the mumble chatter and get everyone on the same page most of the time.  I didn’t quite get to everything on the Weinke due to time, but I feel like the Pax got their heartrate up and got a solid beatdown.  YHC learned quite a bit from this first solo Q, and I look forward to leading again soon.
