Circle of Trust: 6 Years is a long time.  I’ve grown a lot in that time.  I’ve gotten stronger and faster, but more importantly, I’ve become a better leader and a better man.  Thank you all for pushing me to improve everyday.

My story is the same as almost all of our F3 brothers.  The Fitness was the magnet that brought me in.  The Fellowship is the glue that won’t let me get away.  The Faith (a belief in something greater than myself) is the dynamite that will allow us to have an impact on the community around us.  This is where our focus needs to be.  We must do a better job of having a positive impact on the city that we all love.  That starts with growing our forces.  We can change Dallas, Texas and the United States one man at a time.  It is time for us to start taking this responsibility and OPPORTUNITY seriously.  Give it away. Now.

MOLESKIN:
Up until 0528 YHC thought this was going to be a Midway Hollow only beatdown. A few PAX became better men this morning and came along to join us! Some mumblechatter about the weekend commenced. The 7.5 happy hour was also discussed amongst the PAX. Seems a great time was had by all. The sweat immediately commenced with no breeze this morning. @classified put up a bear crawl speed I’m not even sure @alrightalright could keep up with.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC completely forgot to pray us out.

MOLESKIN:
YHC put this together knowing it would be challenging to the PAX, but as always underestimated the pain involved.  I believe the step ups were the crowd favorite followed by the squat box thrusters!  Fortunately, there were no banged shins today!  PAX were indignant with YHC as I spent a good 10-15 mins of the workout EH’ing a passerby who, for the record, spoke to me first.  As an always accelerating HIM, I could not pass up the opportunity to spread the F3 gospel.  There was a question of whether today’s workout would be 45 minutes or an hour to which YHC offered an hour when the 45 minutes was up.  There were no takers, however I was challenged to take another lap to make up for my EH lollygag.  I asked for volunteers to keep me company and again was rebuffed.  YHC also apologizes for the COT lapse today!

Fourth of July 2020 Part I

PAX: Alright Alright, Draper, Icebox, Maverick, Oatmeal, Plus One, PowPow, Rabbit

8 PAX gathered at 0600 for some serious extra credit.  YHC told them ahead of time that it would be a cardio heavy beatdown and it did not disappoint.  The mumblechatter was minimal as most of us were trying to conserve energy/survive the beatdown.  Here’s how it went:

In front of the Tri Delt House: Burpees – 200 as a team

At the corner of Lovers and Hillcrest: Lunges – 400 as a team

At Caruth: Imperial Storm Troopers – 600 as a team

At Coffee Park: Merkins – 800 as a team

At Caruth Park: 1000 Plank Jacks as a team

At Lovers: 1200 Squats as a team

Native American run back to Burleson Park

Bonus Burpees x15 each

Bonus Lunges x30 each

Bringing Sexy Back!

Date: 06/25/2020
Temp: 77 °  
Weather: Yucky – almost 80 °  at 0530 in the morning and downright soupy out

Count-off & Name-O-Rama:
PAX: Bleep, Teasip, & Shifty McCoy
QIC: Rump Roast & Shifty

AO: Burleson Park

Disclaimer: Given by Shifty

Intro/ Warm-o-Rama by Shifty McCoy:
SSH x 14 (IC)
IST x 12 (IC)
Cotton Pickers x 12 (IC)
Groiners x 12 (IC)

 At this point YHC took over:  

The Thang:
Mosey to the benches by the fountain
– 10x Erkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Squats (IC, DC)
– 10x Derkins (IC, DC)
– 10x Alternating Step-Ups (IC, DC)
 
Reap-O 3x… I was thinking this was a Dirty McDuece but, without looking it up that it may be 4-sets. Either way, the Double count was ambitious and none of us would have completed the 4th set! 
 
Mosey to the Quad
 
I’m going this workout Bear Crawl Dora! 
We partnered up and did – 
 
100x Merkins
200x Overhead Claps
300x Squats 
 
While one PAX did the exercises the other bear crawled across the center grass of the Quad, and across the sidewalk and back. We ran out of time on Squats, I believe Teasip and Shifty were in the 200’s and Bleep and myself we at 200 even. Moseyed back to the launch point
 

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out

Playlist:
No music this morning

Moleskin:
I was extra motivated this morning for Shifty to give the disclaimer and lead the Warm-O-Rama. We had to prompt him a little on the disclaimer but did a great job. It wasn’t too far into my portion that Teasip proclaimed that he wished Shifty would have Q’d the entire work out! As soon as we started moseying to the benches it was clear my knee was hurting more than it has been. After the first set of step-ups I wanted to go home. So I modified my original idea of Jacobs Ladder to Dora Bear Crawl and I will tell you…. Between 200 Merkins the other day, @Arrrghhhhs beat down yesterday, 100x Burpees yesterday, and the Dirty McDuece it sucked! Everyone agreed! @Bleep announced that he officially hates Bear Crawling! Teasip on more than one occasion had some choice words, and even Shifty proclaimed this work out was the dumbest idea EVER! I took them all as a compliment! No doubt we ALL got better today. #acceleration #isi #giveitaway
