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) 😉

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

Conditions: Upper 50’s. Cool to start, hot at the end.

FNGs: None

COP:  We geared up

The Thang:

Most ran the big loop, couple didn’t.

Mary: Nope

Numberama: 13

Namerama: Muscadine, Cast Away, Goober, Glowstick, Urkel, McGruff, Fanta, Wee Woo, Sofia, Mrs. Potts, Discount, Tinder, Olaf

Pledge and COT

Announcements: Christmas Events will be posted on Facebook.  Tinder gathering men that want to do stretching/mobility exercises on Sunday’s at 7 am.  Will meet at Ditch location.  Prayer requests for Everett (2.0 of Muscadine’s friend) and Dovetail.

Devo: YHC had a convo with friend about making a hard decision despite of how painful it was knowing that doing it later would be even more painful.  So often we procrastinate these conversations, or decision, but doing it later may mean more pain OR we may not have another opportunity to have them.  Tomorrow isn’t guaranteed and we need to make sure that we aren’t putting things off because they are difficult, aren’t fun, or are a lot of work.

Moleskin:   Goober had nipple chaffing even after bodyglide was applied.  Discussion occurred on other alternatives.  It was also the return of Muscadine to the gloom thanks to Tinder who urged him on Sunday to come out.  Good example of brotherhood working to keep HIM engaged.

Led by Bedpan

YHC has had a long week.  He has been feeling on 1% everyday.  The gas tank is low.  Life has definitely not gotten easier for him due to studying, classes, grades, CSU basketball and Publix.  He has been taking 1 day at time and remembering how important endurance is in life.  When some days are much harder than others it is okay to vent to those that love you and want the best for you.  We are not alone and we need to reach out to others when we have a shitty day.  We are in this together.  That was the point of this HARD workout.  It isn’t going to get any easier, the reps continued to increase, but we were all in the fight together and completed the partner get ups…together.  Keep pushing!

Moleskin:
Great workout and a beatdown as promised.  Thank you for the opportunity to lead.

Devo: Who is speaking into your life?

Listening to the sermon yesterday at church reminded me of the important role men play in our lives. Also connected with why I F3.

I remember as a teenager playing golf with my grandfather. Playing horribly. Couldn’t hit anything straight. Finally after hitting my tee shot on hole 17 he spoke up. Pulling his handkerchief from his pocket he told me “take this and put it under your arm. Now hold it there while you hit that shot again.” Listening to his advice I hit the straightest shot of the day. I asked why he waited until the next to last hole to offer that advice.

Point was that he was there with me, watching my swing. When the time came that he felt I needed to hear it, he pointed out what I was doing wrong. Because of our many years playing together (and the fact that he was my Pappaw), I listened to what he had to say. I didn’t reject the advice.

As a baseball player in high school, i really struggled with the bat speed to get around on the fastball. One of my best buddies was a pitcher. So he offered on several occasions to stay after practice and groove me a few of his best to let me work on it. He knew it was a weakness of mine that I needed to work on.

These are roles that each of us need to have filled in our lives. We both need other men that are allowed to speak into our lives when they see us struggling and say “here, try this and see if it helps” or “here, let’s get together from time to time and work on it together.”

Search your circle and see if you have these men in your life. If not, find them in the gloom. Lots of good brothers out there willing to listen and help.

Moleskin:   Lot’s of good discussion in naming the FNG this morning. We found out that he enjoys racing (which possibly saved him for a Gitmo nickname being from Cuba). This of course brought out all the Ricky Bobby references. This is where we decided on Magic Man.
