CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC took this opportunity to talk about a former F3 Winston-Salem brother who took his own life last week. He had fallen into serious depression and had stopped going to F3 months ago. YHC is not an expert on depression, but YHC knows that loneliness doesn’t help. The men of F3 Winston-Salem will always wonder how Hoser slipped through the cracks. This should be a reminder to us that we should constantly be leaning on guys to come back to F3 if they’ve been absent for a while. They need F3 for the fitness, but more importantly they need this brotherhood.

MOLESKIN:
– #kotters to splash and Spread after several weeks off.
– the PAX were pretty quiet during the running portions of the #beatdown
– we focused on core today because many of the PAX want to have fresh arms and legs for the #ironpaxchallenge on Friday. So far the fastest time in the nation is 20:45

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, praying for the kids from the Young Life camp in Bulgaria

MOLESKIN:
Always good to be back with the guys who were quick to welcome YHC back with plenty of sass (particularly AlrightAlright and Coach K) when YHC was apparently not loud and clear enough during the announcement that the Step ups were alternating legs. Apparently there was quite the discussion about Canadian holidays and how they had one yesterday and that is why some of the PAX missed the description of the alternating leg Step Ups. An #omaha was called for DORA as the group had some concerns about the route taken around the tennis courts, so the route was adjusted to be on the well lit path to the basketball court before taking on the potentially treacherous grass between the basketball court and playground. Some grumbling about the lack of single counting on Irkins, so YHC may take that into consideration the next time he decides to do a Dirty McDeuce for his Q. Overall a good day and happy to back with the guys after a week off.

Skyscraper

Skyscraper: Mao Edition

Directed By: Chairman Mao

Supporting Cast: Team Fortnite (Pepper and Ant Man ), AlrightAlright , Ina , Coach K , Helmet

Musical Support: DJ Icebox

Special Guest: Starfish

9 pax joined forces to survive the Skyscraper: Mao Edition

Warmup
Side Straddle Hops
ISTs
Don Quixotes

Hold on Dear Life
The Rock spends most of the movie holding stuff up or hanging on for dear life; so, this was meant to mimic that.
1 minute Monkey Bar Hold
1 minute Forward Plank
1 minute Wilt Chamberlin

Fight the Bad Guys
1 Minute Prisoner Squats
1 Minute Pull the Rope
1 Minute Iron Hulk
1 Minute Mystery
1 Minute Rest

YHC gathered the Pax’s least favorite and favorite exercises to determine the mystery exercise. By the magic of Google Random Number generator, the Pax were award 1 minute of Monkey Humpers which was met with some complaints. After Round 2, AlrightAlright felt we spent too much time fighting bad guys and in jail, which is obviously impossible. You can ever never spend too much time fighting.

Get to Blimp
The PAX needed to make it to rescue BLIMP to get home.
Bear Crawl Ramp
5 Burpees
Crawl Bear Ramp
10 Lunges each leg
Crab Walk Ramp
15 ISTs each leg
Bear Crawl Ramp
20 Merkins
Crawl Bear Ramp
25 Plank Jacks
Crab Walk Ramp
30 Squats
Run to the Top

Lose Ya Leg
The Pax made it to the top but their Blimp blew up when the reached it. The force of the impact blew off their fake leg; so, they were forced to travel back down on one leg
1 Single Leg RDL, Hop Across Same Leg, 1 Single RDL opposite Leg, then go down a level.
RDLs were increased with each level until the PAX successfully escaped the Skyscraper.

At this point, new arrival Helmet did not seem to be suffering as much as the other PAX. YHC felt the best way to fix this was a long Mary Performance.

Mary
40 пингвин crunches – Helmet was able to embrace the suffering. Eruzione is this correct Russian?
21 LBCs
15 Scissors

Heard at F3
“That’s not where you play disc golf ”
“We should form an F3 Speedball, and prove to those guys they are out of shape”.
“As long as I’m at more workouts than Pepper it’s been a good week”

YHC appreciates all PAX for joining him at the first F3 Dallas Movie morning and looks forward to future collaborations with DJ Icebox .

Below you will find the trailer, Special Sauce / Movie theme song, artist discussion of theme song, along with the soundtrack. Hope you enjoyed your #burlesonbeatdown and F150 can finally now not bug YHC about writing a #backblast

SSH
IST
Don Quixote

Mosey to Track only to find it locked for renovations (we later found out that only the bleacher portion was locked, but it was too late)

Doak Walkers:
Run from stadium wall to Doak Walker statue, run back, 10 burpees, repeato with decreasing burpees until you do 1 burpee.
(distance was 1/10th of a mile to the statue and another 1/10th back)

Native American Run:
After 2 miles of running and 55 burpees, Gambler decided that we needed more cardio, so we did a 1 mile Native American Run around campus and back to La Madeleine.

6 Minutes of Mary:
2 sets of 1 minute planks
Heels to Heaven (some interesting counting and lots of chatter was heard during this portion as the PAX finally caught their breath)
LBCs (counting was somewhat improved)
Some more abs

NMM:
Not much chatter during the Doak Walkers as the PAX were all gassed.
Great to have Jim Whitaker (one of the F3 Dallas planters) and Dontcha Know with us from out of town.
Chairman Mao tried to roll up the stairs to the statue at one point and found that an ineffective strategy.
Thoughts of le Tour de France and cyclists struggling up mountains were the only thing that kept YHC and Oo-De-Lally with the group during the Native American Run. We were both in “a spot of bother.”

COT:
Gambler prayed us out.

Announcements:
Scotch Night was a great success. Attendance was better than any workouts this week. #tclaps Icebox
