Moleskin:   As we were arriving this morning 2 guys walked up and began introducing themselves.  One guy (Smuckers) was a true FNG.  His brother in law (Amnesia) brought him out.  He informed us he hadnt been out in a year or so.  At beginning of workout we went around the circle saying our F3 names so everyone knows who they are working out with.  Amnesia revealed he didn’t remember his name that was given when he first came out.  We decided as a team that renaming was in order.  And Amnesia was born.  Smuckers got his name because he said due to covid he had been out of work and all he does now is sit around the house and make his kids Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.  These guys are front of the pack guys.  Hopefully they come back quickly.  Welcome gents!

Mumble chatter was high this morning.  It always is when you get Fish N Chips in the mix.

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

Conditions:  76 degrees

FNGs:  None

COP:

High Knees, SSH, TTT, Don Quiote, Terrible Ts, Imperial Walkers

The Thang:

Seismic recently moved back to it’s old (and newly renovated) stomping grounds on what is now the Rollins Edwards Community Center. YHC was nostalgic about the move and wanted to honor his first workout on this hallowed ground. Thanks to a solid turnout, YHC called an audible and didn’t use the logs, but we still did four corners around the parking lot.

20 Buddy Get-Ups

Buddy up with a partner who you’ll take turns carrying from one station to the next.

Round One:

Station 1: 20 Merkins

Station 2: 20 Squats

Station 3: 10 Burpees each

Station 4: 20 Calf Raises

 

Time out for Big Boy Sit-Ups

 

Round Two:

Station 1: 20 Buddy Get-Ups

Station 2: Seal Merkins

Station 3: Seal Merkins (flapjack positions with partner)

Mary:  WW2 Sit-Ups, Pickle Pounders, LBCs, Terrible Ts, Flutter Kicks

Numberama, Namerama, Announcements, Pledge, COT

Devo:

Hebrews 9:27: “Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment,”

In the wake of our brother Wilson’s passing and the sudden/unexpected terminal diagnosis for another acquaintance of mine, YHC reminded the PAX that life is short and reiterated two points regarding the brevity of our time on Earth:

  1. When we die we’ll face judgment. While F3 isn’t a Christian organization, YHC is a Christian and thus my devos come from that point of view. The only way to have a relationship with God now and in eternity is through Jesus Christ
  2. You never know when your days will be up. Pour into those around you while you can because our time is short.

Moleskin: This week has been rough for YHC. After over a week of no strenuous activity and poor eating on vacation, getting back in the groove has been tough. Calling Cold War Sit-Ups to have a moment to catch my breath and stop the world from spinning wasn’t in the game plan. It was nice to hear afterward that other PAX found the workout difficult. That’s generally the sign of a successful Q.

Announcements: RUCK EVENTS COMING UP.  SIGN UP.

Devo:

Don’t Give Up

Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. (NLT) ( 1 Corinthians 13:7  )

 

Have you ever had a day where the only three words that kept you going where, DON’T GIVE UP? Sometimes love means choosing to keep at it, even when you feel at the end of your tank.  Ask God to give you the strength to love others with His enduring love. May He give you the strength to push past conflict.  Love is a choice.  Choose to not give up today.

 

Moleskin:   YHC picked up the Q the night before and really had no plan.  On the fly.  At 4:58 YHC phone went off with a text from one PAX (Bedrock flag holder) informing he had just arose from his beauty sleep.   The return text simply said “being late is better than not at all. Had to call an audible on the flag.  Luckily Defib/Wreck It Ralph had the Magnitude flag.  It was planted to hold prevent the burpees.  The story on late PAX gets better.  Stick around.

At 459 YHC still didn’t have a plan so lets just wing it.  Heard some grief and displeasure as the phone with AC/DC queued up came out.  At least there is consistency in my Q’s.  During the first set of 11’s we saw head lights coming into the park.  Approximately 0514.  The vehicle backed into a parking spot close to the bridge.  The remaining PAX continued working noticing that the driver of said vehicle had not exited.  At approximately 0520 we headed towards the baseballs all running passed the parked truck.  The driver had backed in so we could see clearly that the driver was alive and not appearing to be in any distress.  Was watching something on his phone.  Still no confirmation on what that was.  Approximately 0535 the truck pulls out of the parking spot and heads back to the flag.  We finish the work and get back to the flag to see that the Bedrock flag had magically been planted but driver was still no where to be found.  Deductive reasoning lead YHC to believe that the Bedrock flag had been planted by this mystery truck in the parking lot.  Complete the COT and devotion and walk over to the parked truck and there sits DT in his work out gear.  After a short conversation it was determined that he left his house fully prepared to put in some work.  When he arrived he saw we were bear crawling.  He admitted he wanted to no part of that so he used the time to “send off work emails and work orders”.

I give this dude a lot grief.  He gives it back.  But one thing that dude is is honest.  Oh yea,  THE MYSTERY PAX WAS DT.  RANDY STEWART.  I don’t know if this is considered a fart sack but its not considered a posting either.

When arriving back at the flag YHC gave Thunderstruck plank merkins another try.  Take 2.  No luck.  YHC took phone over to counter by the grill and it magically worked.  *Thanks Spooky*.  Play thunderstuck by AC/DC and hold plank until the say thunder and at that point execute merkin.  If plank is broken run to sidewalk by street and back.*I have no idea why I am still explaining this here.  By now most of you have done this, some more than others, right High Stick*

Assemble at the picnic area under shelter.  This portion was in 4 parts.  All completed in same area.  Part 1.  5 table pullups OYO.  Bear crawl across down sidewalk toward farm house up the steps.  Run around porch and down steps and back to shelter.  Part 2.  5 table pullups OYO, and 10 Carolina Dry Docks on Q.  Lunge walk to steps of farm house and run around porch and down steps and back to shelter.  Part 3.  5 table pull ups OYO, 10 Carolina Dry Docks on Q, 15 Bobby Hurleys OYO (Make sure hand touches the ground each time).  Sumo squat to steps and up steps.  run around porch and back to the shelter.  Part 4.  5 Table pull OYO, 10 Caroina Dry Docks on Q, 15 Bobby Hurleys OYO, and 20 LBC on Q.  YHC instructed this would be the last transition.  Crab walk to the steps feet first.  If your ass hits the ground or you have to stand up do 3 burpees and get back in the fight.  Up steps and run around porch and back to shelter.

Mary: Each PAX called a Mary exercise and “Qed” it.  YHC 30 LBC on Q.  High Stick 5 Captain Thor.  (Do 1 WW1 situp and immediately move to 4 American Hammer.  2 WW1 situp and immediately move to 8 American etc.)  Spooky 10 Body Builders.  EZ Go 30 flutter kicks

Announcements: Tri Sprints over the next couple weekends.

Devo: 

Wisdom Is Supreme

Getting wisdom is the wisest thing you can do! And whatever else you do, develop good judgment. (NLT) ( Proverbs 4:7 )

The Bible uses urgent language when it comes to how we should live.  God warns in clear terms that wisdom is essential to living this life well and for His glory.  What does it mean to be wise?  Wisdom is skilled living.  How do we get wise?  We live with reverence for God and we keep a teachable heart.

Moleskin:   YHC was a little worried no one would show up this AM.  EZ Go gave me a verbal HC at the convergence and Spooky was quick to HC on the preblast.  I threw out some names for an EH but I think the 4th celebrations/ vacations kept most away.  YHC was unsure if we would do the Thunderstruck.  The minute High Stick walked up mid warm up the decision was made.  First take not so good.  NO signal and song wouldn’t play.  Second round Spooky suggested putting the phone “higher” on the counter by the grill.  Well it worked.  During the intro to the song High Stick looks at Spooky and says “Are you Qing this thing or him? Damn I hate this song”.

Great work gentleman!!  There was no air moving this morning and it felt like we were in a sauna the entire time.

Moleskin:   Great to see such high numbers at The Cardiac for Beast Week.  This was an awesome week that brought a bunch of new faces out to AOs they don’t typically visit.  The original Beast Week record is 17.  That is held by 2 folks that are absolute studs.  Ma Bell and Chilly Willy.  This morning our boy Saget did 14 complete rounds before leaving for The Warrior at The Jones 10 minutes early.  I fully believe he would have beat the record.  What an absolute animal.  Great work gentleman!!
