PAX: , , , ,

It was a nice summer morning and a break from the humidity, but we still donated sweat to the sacred ground of The Nest.

FNGs: None
Warm Up: Good mornings, windmill, SSH, imperial walkers, hillbillies, Michael Phelps
The Workout: First thing was a Route 66 with a jog stopping at each light pole along the road. Exercises built up 1 rep as we got to each pole. Is that a light pole or an electric pole? A stadium light? Doesn’t matter, exercise! 4 rounds with Merkins, squats, burpees, WW2s. Thing 2 was a round of Survivor. Went thought a list of exercises and the worst one was voted off by the group, then rinse and repeat with what’s left. To make it interesting, each member had an immunity which would negate the vote result. This resulted in some power trips and light mumbling between rounds. Order of elimination: Slow burpee, starjump, out-n-back inchworm, Daft Punk (around the world lunge), Carolina Dry Dock.
Mary: LBCs, sweat angels, boat canoes, American hammers
Announcements: Carpex Q swap
T-Claps (Recognition): Finkle on the EC

1776 – Celebration of Freedom

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

There are lots of ways one might choose to celebrate the freedom that we so often take for granted. The F3 way is to have a brutal beatdown that serves as a reminder that freedom isn’t free – it was purchased and preserved by countless patriots who made the ultimate sacrifice.

“There is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” – John 15:13 (NLT)

YHC is truly grateful for my F3 brothers who push me to become a better version of myself – physically, mentally, and spiritually. Thanks for the push to get through the 1,776 reps! Keep up the great work HIM and keep pushing each other!
