Using the Strings
5 PAX showed up to use the TRX “strings”. Warmed up because it was cold out and then proceeded with 4 rounds of various TRX exercises. And an Around the Horn Mary.Â
Prayers for upcoming surgeries and healings, jobs, and travels.Â

 thank you @Gump for getting me set up with a login
2/14/2026. The Ground Pounder – two of my Slack friends ( @Gump , @Socrates) joined me this morning at The Ground Pounder. They were not Slackers facing the morning cold, but they are High Impact Men, out working their minds, body’s and spirits.
We started with morning stretches – Sir Fazio, side straddle hops, Willy Mayes Hayes, good mornings, body squats, overhead arm stretches and seal claps. Gingerly mosey (no running here) to the rock pile with curls, overhead tri’s, rows, overhead press, and our namesake Ground Paounder -repeat. Small rocks with titillas, Arnold’s, and kickbacks – repeat. Short walk to the wall for Papal chair, and heal raises – repeat
Mary: Â No playing around at the playground – with step ups, dips and Merkins. Finished with a round of Mary – low slow flutter ( Q favorite), hello dolly, heal taps and American hammers. Ran out of time for plank.
Prayers: Â Asked for our Lord to hear prayers of F3 Nation and to guide us going forward today -followed by a second F with coffee fellowship at Fables coffee in HS.
Missing PAX: Â We missed @Ausfart @Lube @Dauber, @Pole Vault, @Cancun, @stubbs, and always looking for @Forceps – hope to see more of you out next week
F3: Â more thank a workout!
9 PAX took a tour of Varina starting with some Howling Monkeys and Lebron James’ along the way.Â
Warm Up:Â Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event.Â
The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games.Â
Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed.Â

The Workout: A mix of elevation gaining exercises of Murder Bunnies and Moonwalks up Heroin Hill (rocks in tow), Dips and Urkins on the guardrail at the top, something resembling Olympic shot put/curling/bocce on the way down, and Burpees and WW1s at the bottom. Some complaints were filed by some competitors alleging that the rocks were not uniform and that some competitors in the shot put had an unfair advantage.
