There was some bellyaching, but overall it was a beautiful morning, and 4 men getting better.  Also, T-claps to our boy Sex Panther for getting back out there and embracing the suck with his fellow brothers.  We’ve missed you and glad to have you back.

MOLESKIN:

It’s Groundhog Day so what could we do over and over and over…Much mumble chatter about YHC not caring about shoulders today.  Perhaps I should have warned PAX to take care of their Starbucky shoulders.  Following the shoulder comments were the complaints of back pain.  I can provide the number of a good sports chiro!  Tclaps to Slushii for being prepared with an impromptu speaker to aid with the monotony.  YHC took pity on PAX with 10 minutes remaining and moved to some Mary since PAX were also upset YHC seemed to neglect core exercises today.  PAX were relieved until they figured out YHC was serious about holding feet at 6”.  Penalty man makers for lazy feet elicited what may be a record 5-6 “F U’s” on the Rumpometer.  I was humbled with such recognition and felt I should thank the Academy and everyone that supported me in my Q journey!

We all survived, had coffee and as far as I can tell, this week’s batch didn’t prep Slushii for a colonoscopy!

– Run a warmup lap
5 Rounds of:

– 20x Squats (SC)
– 15x Burpees (SC)
– 20x Merkins
– 25x Mountain Climbers
Sprint/Run the field and Bear Crawl back in between rounds

I’ll be honest, after the 5 rounds, all the rest was “on-the-fly”. We ran another lap, did some “Beee-inth” work and Mary to wrap it up.
 

Circle of Trust (CoT):
YHC prayed us out

Playlist:
fail

Moleskin:
Right off the bat, YHC heard mumble chatter about the amount of running. To be clear, while I’m not great at running, and it’s not my favorite thing to do… I’m trying to get better at it and believe I do a fair amount of running at most of my Q’s.  SO don’t be surprised when you show up to a Rump Roast beatdown and there’s running.  I asked the DJ Icebox for a “war” playlist and have to admit I should have elaborated what my “vision” was because the playlist was a turd floater for sure! 

There was lots of talk about Special Sauce not being there. Classified was so worried that it wasn’t like Sauce, he believed we should send a search party. “I don’t expect this from him”, Classified exclaimed at one point. Overall it was a great morning and start to the weekend with a group of guys I could not be more proud to be a part of.

None today

Moleskin:
Pretty normal day for the most part, I hear Dfib comment on the lap that we’d already done more running than he expected. Then the rain started and while it was fairly steady it wasn’t too bad until the Big Boi Sit-ups. Not only was there water standing on the tennis court by that time it start coming down in buckets. Everyone seemed to have a good time and I heard Slushii report he got 3mi. I got 2.72 so a pretty good day. 

Announcements:
A lot!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for each man present and wisdom to make decisions going forward while fighting COVID and leading our family, community, state, and nation. 

MOLESKIN:
YHC and Rump Roast pulled up to Glencoe to find only Sound Machine waiting in the gloom around 0525. Normally there is a larger crowd but that could be when YHC arrives its 0529. A few others showed up and we got right into warmups. YHC underestimated the time it would take to perform exercises and some of the exercises were not completed to full before the song ended. There were few burpees but not the amount YHC was hoping for when “naming that artist”. Next time YHC will have to choose more curveballs. There were two curveballs (What is Love – Haddaway and Animals – Nickelback) which took the PAX an extra minute to figure out. #Coffeeteria talk went many ways (in which YHC thinks it should). Some can be discussed and some cannot. We all learned about Oatmeals passion for pastries this morning as YHC announced he was heading to get some after the workout. The favorite pasty by Oatmeal (YHC agrees) is the Kouign-amann which is also now referred to as the “Cougar Mom”. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. CSAUP – 4x4x24 in February

BAMA Beatdown

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Armpit, Avril, Classified, F150, Gambler, Oatmeal, Rump Roast, Slushii, Sound Machine, Special Sauce
QIC: Teasip

AO: INSERT
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x52, IST x12, Hillbilly x12 (52-24 final score in the Natty), then a warm up lap

THA THANG:
Mosey over to the football field with coupons. As YHC mentioned, you have to pick your poison when playing Alabama, but it is “suicide” to leave Devonta Smith uncovered.

Thus, we did some coupon suicides. Run to the first light pole, come back and do 3 reps, then run to the next light pole and back and do 6 reps. Continuing until you get to the other goal line and back to do 12 reps (for the 12 catches Devonta had in the Natty)

Bicep Curls
All the way down Squats while holding coupons
Manmakers
Abs (curls while holding the coupon)

Since Bama when through the ringer of an all-SEC schedule (some say the toughest ever and the best final AP poll #4 team in human history) we did an OH press Ring of Fire to 55 (closest full round to 52)

MARY:
Rugby Situps x12, Rosalita x12, Freddie Mercury x15

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
YHC checked Band while clearing the mechanism in the AM and saw that Alright Alright became a father and thus was disappointed he was not there to post in the gloom. Special Sauce and several other PAX agreed and questioned Alright Alright’s commitment. 

YHC announced in the preblast that the beatdown would be Natty themed and the PAX realized once we passed 20 on the SSH that we would probably be going to 52 for Bama. YHC didn’t even have to point out the obvious that Ohio St lost by the exact same score as A&M and they didn’t even have to deal with a fully armed and operational Alabama offense like the Aggies did.

Several choice words from Rump (even said them via proxy through Sauce) during the suicides. Special Sauce also mentioned that Devonta Smith only played a half, so shouldn’t the suicides only be half of the workout, but YHC did not oblige. 

During the ring of fire, several eyerolls ensued from the PAX when YHC mentioned the toughness of an all-SEC schedule and how the Big 12 played defense now (from the flag bearers Oatmeal and Classified) and then some ACC comments too from Slushii.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. 4x4x24 CSAUP Feb 5-6 starting at 1900 on Feb 5
2. TID 18k March 6 at 0700

F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given 

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 20 IC

IST x 15 IC

Hillbillies x 15 IC

NA run on street around Burleson 

Mosey to Tennis Courts – DORA (PAX 1 run across courts to fence and back for first exercise, PAX 1 run across courts to fence and Bear Crawl 1 court for second exercise, PAX 1 run across courts to fence and Crawl Bear 1 court for third exercise) Exercises – 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 LBC’s

Mosey to Basketball courts – divide up PAX to minimize contact and PLAY BASKETBALL! 

MARY:
Hunt for Big Tex’s key

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for each man and others that were not in attendance 

MOLESKIN:
YHC wanted to continue #makingsecondchoicefirstchoice and decided to keep it simple and fun today. What’s more fun than some old school basketball pick-up games!?! Other than Rump Roast I think all enjoyed the 12min of cardio. Rump Roast stated “he would rather do burpees than play basketball”. YHC will keep that in mind next time. Big Tex stated during DORA that his key was lost. A quick scramble was made to find the key but he decided to push on with the workout instead. We all found out that Bleep is a beast from the elbow, Broadway Joe kept DFib on his toes during the game of 21, Sound Machine is far quicker and nimble on the court than he looks, and DFib hates deflated balls. I guess DFib and Tom Brady have differing opinions on how they like their balls. We spent the last couple of minutes retracing our NA run and route to DORA. YHC found the key where Big Tex was standing during warmups. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. TRAIN FOR CSAUP
2. Be on the lookout for 2ndF event coming up soon (also F3 Golf)

Dropping LBs at Germany

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Cougar Bait, D-Fib, Pop Up (Willy Loman from Bellevue), Rump Roast, Slushii, Sound Machine
QIC: Teasip

AO: Germany
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x15, IST x15, Vegetable Pickers x10

THA THANG:
Split into 3 groups. Group 1 does 5 pull ups, then goes to relieve group 2 who is doing AMRAP Squats. Group 2 then relieves group 3 who is doing AMRAP Rugby sit ups, and group 3 goes to do pull ups. 3 rounds.

Mosey to the track and do a lap. Dirty McDeuce (3 rounds of 12 reps of the following: Irkins, Step Ups, Derkins, Dips) with running across the football field and back in between each set. 

Do an LB’s lap: Lunge walk 100 M, Backwards Run 100M, Bear Crawl 100M, Burpee Broad Jump 100M

Mosey to the tennis court for Bolt 45’s, then some Mary

MARY:
LBC x20, Low Dolly x15, Flutter kicks x10, Freddie Mercury x15

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out.

MOLESKIN:
YHC went across the tracks to the West Side to Q at Germany and complete the first part of his #icicle. The first guy to show up was Pop Up, who got the name in St. Louis since he said he liked to read and the PAX assumed he read pop up books. Loved having him. Lives in Bellevue, but is here now with his wife since they had a kid a few months ago, her family lives here, and he can work remotely. Will be curious to see if it takes others (*cough* Ultra *cough*) three months to post after having a baby.

No Bleep this morning, which Slushii mentioned his text to Bleep in the morning was green and not iMessage blue so maybe his phone didn’t charge? Slushii debated knocking on his door, but decided not to. Rump was kind enough to keep the caravan going by letting Slushii still chauffeur him to the workout this morning.

YHC has decided that Sex Panther meant he would skip 200 workouts instead of attend 200 when he posted his goal of 200 for the year, so he is on a good pace for that.

Had some airplane talk during the warmup, including Sound Machine recounting a flight where he was asked to grab a ladies leg if the plane were to crash, and Rump remembering a time when a fellow passenger got a garbage bag for a barf bag. Otherwise, not a lot of mumblechatter during the workout, though got a few choice words from Rump doing the last part of the McDeuce and during the LBs lap.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. 4x4x24 CSAUP Feb 5-6
2. Grow Ruck in April

COT:
10 years ago Dredd and OBT led the first ever F3 beatdown. Today, F3 is in close to 30 states and there are 2900 workouts each week. Men around the nation need F3 for all three F’s, Fitness, Fellowship and Faith. It is our responsibility to share this gift with every man we come in contact with. No more excuses men. EH all men. #AlwaysBeEHing #GiveItAway

Mumblechatter:
Very quiet group today, but they did respond properly to every request to “grab a bench.”

Slushii argued that it should only be a 45 minute workout since it is Friday. YHC told him that since it was a holiday we would be doing a full 60 minutes. The exact stunt that was pulled on Plus One at his first workout ever 6 years ago today.

Happy F3 Birthday Plus One. F3 Dallas probably wouldn’t exist today without your leadership and commitment. There’s no way I could have persevered in those early months without you.

Rump Roast courageously fought through some serious back pain to finish this one. #tclaps for an incredible effort.

Dirtbag is quickly climbing the fitness charts. I thought he was going to beat Oatmeal on the Jacob’s Ladder. Everybody is going to have to post regularly and push themselves to try to keep up with this dude.

It was so cold that Ina had to put on a pullover.

F150 gave it everything he had on the crab walks despite some tricep cramping. He wasn’t gonna modify that’s for sure. Great work!

Oatmeal was full of energy after getting chased away from Klyde Warren Park by security last night.

Teasip put in a really impressive crab walk too. I thought he was gonna catch me at the end. It was closer than I like.
