Smokey Morning Laps Around The ⚽️ Fields

/in /QIC:
PAX:

Blue Suede :bluesuede: and I showed up right on time @ 05:30 and there was only one car in the the parking lot @Disney.

Seems to be a new AO spinning up on Fridays’ but we didn’t let that keep Bondo and I from winning the day with a solid sweat equity session.

It was a bit smokey in the sky due to some forest fires going on in Quebec 🇨🇦. Prayers for those impacted 🙏

Warm Up:

Hillbillies | Imperial Walkers | Good Mornings | Burpees

The Workout:

Moseyed to the new retaining wall at the entrance to Middle Creek High and grabbed smedium 🪨’s (10 – 15 .lbs). We then moseyed up the hill behind the soccer fields and knocked out 3 exercise (uneven pushups | alternating squats | curls for the gurls) after that we took a lap around the soccer fields. I think we got about 4 rounds in. We were drenched that is for sure! Blue Suede was covered in water from the grass so I know he had a blast.

Mary:

Just a few for Mary – homer to marge | box cutters | low slow flutter | boat canoe

1 and Done

/in /QIC:
PAX: , ,

3 HIM decided to make their way to Disney on a wet and warm morning in the gloom. YHC had two plans of which both should equally suck. A shelter workout if it was pouring or a trip to the stairs aka The Abyss in the drizzle. We all agreed this was a terrible workout so my vote is for it to be retired. One and Done. Here it is.

We ripped the bandaid right off taking a lap around the track and hitting multiple large puddles.

Warm up back in parking lot.
Good mornings
Willie Mayes Hayes
Frankensteins
Mtn climbers
Merkins

Main Event
We each grabbed a cinderblock from the secret hideout. Then moseyed over to the Abyss. YHC called out the exercises.
100 Abyss merkins using the blocks
100 ground pounders with blocks
100 rut rows with blocks
Break these reps up into 5-6 rounds.
Staggered going down and up the stairs.
1st trip – bear crawl down and run back up
2nd – run down bear crawl up
3rd – run down bunny hop up
4th – run down hit every step both feet up
5th – OYO
6th – OYO
Great support to finish all the reps as we were completely smoked on the last round.

Mosey back to return blocks.

45 secs for Mary but YHC choose to not get our backs wet. You’re welcome.

No new announcements.
Prayers for Breach traveling. Bobby with possible job change. My M with a cough that keeps hanging around.

Men, thanks for the support. I tend to come up with stuff that will challenge myself and others but still be able to modify. This one really pushed me to exhaustion. Great push from all. Pleasure to lead.

Mushy Ground, Dark Stairs, Hard Blocks, Good Dog!

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , , , , ,

YHC on back to back Comeback Q’s took to the famous grounds of Disney with 8 other good dudes and a precious pup (Poopeater 2.0). Figured I’d try something different over on the half pipe…I’d say 75% effective, the gound was very muddy, mushy, and soft. We’ll keep working on it.

EC: The one and only Nemo!

FNGs: Welcome Komatsu! (works for Caterpillar and we already got John Deere and Kubota))

Warm Up: Good Mornings, Sir Fazio’s, Moroccan Night Club, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Frankenstein.

The Workout: Short mosy over to the half pipe hills for a sideways up and down merkin side crawl (crawl sideways, with each movement ends in a merkin). Again, ground mushy…mixed results.

Blocks: 25 Tricep Press, 25 Curls for the Girls. We started making out way to the Abyss, blocks in hand. We traveled about 50 meters of each (Cusack, Murder Bunny Hops, Grave Digger Walks, Regular). We needed 2 rounds of this to get to the Abyss.

Abyss: 1 trip up and down. At the top, 50 Chest Presses. 2 Trips up and down. At the top, 25 triceps/25 Curls for the Girls. 3 trips up and down. At the top, 25 Rut Rows, 25 LBD’s (Little Baby Dips), 25 Shoulder Press.

Travel Back: We once again traveled back to the beginning with various intervals of Cusack, Murder Bunny Hops, Grave Digger Walks, and Regular.

Mary: 10 Nice Good Mornings!

Announcements: Reach out to guys who struggle. YHC shared at COT that it can make a fellow PAX’s day when someone reaches out. It certainly has impacted me tremendously as I’ve been slow to return from a long IR. There are guys who deal with mental health stuff and find themselves in ruts, let’s help each other out of those ruts. You can do more than you think. Great time to bring this up with an FNG today! We are more than a workout. We are a fellowship and friendship…and we also embrace the suck and push each other!

T-Claps (Recognition): Welcome Komatsu…you made it through your first F3 workout!

Prayer: YHC continued progress. Pumpkin Spice M looking for part-time work as she finishes Graduate School. Bobby Boucher’s M got a new job starting…good stuff! SoftServe took us out.

☠︎ Chrome Dumpster Beatdown ☣︎

/in /QIC:
PAX: , , , , ,

Temp was good for a solid beat down! I showed up 2 mins early but only because it’s my Q 🤣 and I knew Breach would give me shit if I was late for my own Q. Respectfully so 🤘. U.T.I. was right on time but had to put his shoes on when he got to Disney so naturally when he joined the warm up circle we all did 5 burpees to honor his lateness. During transition from the wall to the next exercise we stopped and did some LBC’s per usual conversation struck up and some U.T.I. miss heard an old military slang term from Breach as “Chrome Dumpster” 😆. We all had a good laugh and it was the word of the day at 2nd F @ Duncan Donuts.

FNGs: N/A

Warm Up:

  • SSH | Good mornings | Sir Fazio’s – circles front and back, over head claps & seal claps | Mtn. Climbers (x15)

PAX: , , , , , , , ,

FNGs: none

From F3 Knoxville: “With heavy hearts we share this news: tragically and sadly, we lost our F3 brother, Cardinal (Taylor Phelps), during a workout this morning. He had a big smile, bigger heart, and we loved having him at our Rampart AO. He leaves behind a wife and two young children, and was the Senior Pastor at Caney Ford Baptist Church (Harriman). He was a High Impact Man and we mourn his loss deeply. Please keep his family and the men that were with him yesterday morning in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

To help support Cardinal’s family, a GoFundMe has been created. All of these funds will be given to his wife.”
