MARY:

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out

MOLESKIN:
Not much mumblechatter this morning. Slushii was quick to give A&M props for the win, and proceeded to put on his lab coat to walk us through the Dak injury and recovery (prognosis is good from Dr. Slushii). YHC found out Bleep doesn’t count so much as grunt in cadence. Still #tclaps for being on rhythm I suppose. The naming for Blue Apron was relatively quick (he is a chef/owns a private chef company). Some possibilities included Rachel Ray, Flay, Fieri, and Martha. YHC couldn’t remember the company that Martha Stewart got busted for insider trading with, so Blue Apron won out. Bleep also did 13 more F3 t shirt burpees today. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. F3 Foundation has kicked off giving in October!
2. Pow Pow & Siesta are going to host a Paella, tentatively scheduled for 11/7
3. F3 10 Year anniversary
4. Grow Ruck in April

Another round of coffee? 9/23/20

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA:
PAX: Aaarrrggghhh, Sound Machine, Slushii, DFib
QIC: Oatmeal

AO: Coffee Park
F3 DISCLAIMER & WELCOME: Given

WARM-O-RAMA:
SSH x 15 IC

IST x15 IC

Kim Jung Ils x10 IC

THA THANG:

Modified four corners starting at playground and working around the park counterclockwise x 5 rounds increasing reps by original number each lap:

  • 5 pull ups bear crawl to large tree in NE corner
  • 10 squats; run to bleachers in NW corner
  • 5 derkins; backward run to SW corner
  • 10 Russian twists; sprint back to SE corner playground equipment

Omaha after 4 rounds to get in some TCB suicides starting at the far north end of Turtle Creek Blvd:

  • Start with a T merkin x1
  • Run to alley
  • Carolina dry dock x1
  • Bear crawl back to start; complete T merkin x1
  • Sprint to Villanova
  • Burpee x1
  • Sprint back to start

Repeato adding one rep (Omaha run for bear crawl in rd 2)

Mosey back to playground to finish

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
YHC prayed us out, and then talked a bit about opening up and being vulnerable with the PAX.  This is a key tenet of F3.  It also allowed YHC to plug, once again, the necessity of Shield Lock groups, but also open up about struggles at home with kids and general family life during Covid.    

MOLESKIN:
Random mumblechatter throughout workout especially during bear crawls.  YHC and Aaarrggghhh attempted to EH a park patron after a round of derkins but neither of us had a card so YHC pulled some out of the car during the next sprint.  Pullups are definitely a weak spot for most PAX since the beginning of Covid so it was nice to get in some quality lat work.

Boy Band Beatdown

Bleep and sound machine joined Slushii and YHC for our boy band beatdown

Here’s the thang

SSH
IST
daisy pickers

Boy Band Dora
Group of 4 a la 98 Degrees

Took turns running a short lap around the tennis courts while the rest of the PAX completed the following exercises

100 of each (all in cadence…ie choreographed)
Upper Body (with block)
chest presses, curls, shoulder presses
Lower Body (with block)
Dead lifts, squats
Core (with block)
Freddie Mercury, sit ups, leg raises over coupon

A lot of fun putting this together with Slushii and Agnes glad to get a couple PAX to complete our vision

I saw Oatmeal at the corner of Mockingbird and Abrams at 0520 and tried talking him into coming to the fun workout this AM but he turned me down

A lot more coupon work than I’m used to, doing the exercises in cadence definitely made it harder. Not a ton of mumblechatter because we were counting the whole time

Bleep posed for the F3 #dadbod calendar and I got a good shot, my vote is for September since it’s his bday month

MOLESKIN:
Lots of mumblechatter this morning around the soreness from IPC. Didn’t hit many F’s on the Rump scale so must have been a fairly simple workout. Bleep was working on Sound Machine on his ABC’s (Always Be Closing for the non sales guys). Rump Roast made some comments about them not counting and maybe we should workout harder. Sound Machine was giving some good advice on “how to become an efficient runner” which we were all taking note of. 

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. F3 golf tournament on 10/3

Murph Alert!

#backblast #murphaltert!

Sex Panther F150 Slushii Bleep Island Time Classified Jazzercise Rump Roast Shifty McCoy joined YHC for some Second Choice Thursday action

To prepare for this AM YHC asked Rump Roast last night what he wanted to work on and he said he was looking for a leg day. YHC thought hard about that and thought that a modified Murph would be able to get the job done

Warm Up
SSH, ISTs, Daisy Pickers

The Thang
4 laps around Burleson Park (a little debate about that being further than a mile, which it probably is, but it was my Q so thats what we did)

100 lunges (double count)
200 merkins
300 squats

4 laps around the park

maybe it was the debate on distance, maybe it was the long warmup, maybe it was because 2 lunges take longer to complete than 1 pullup, maybe it was because 4 laps was really was longer than a mile, but no PAX completed the modified Murph

I let Rump pick the first 30 minutes of music (rap, because what else does Rump listen to?) but after a song with particularly explicit lyrics I switched it up to Beach Music (aka a shitty version of Motown) for the last 15, was a huge motivator for me to finish reps and get back to running.

thankful to be back at it with y’all!

Announcements: Q Source and meats today at 1230 at the Meat Shop
Possible 2nd F tomorrow at Oatmeals
F3 Golf 10/3 or 10/10, best to block both days with the M so you can play twice in a month (or am I the only one who has to do that?)

MOLESKIN:
There was some relief when YHC announced there would be no rifle carry or squat thrusters during the beatdown after all the fun of IronPax last week. Shifty defended his dad’s honor by telling Bleep to “can it old man” which got some chuckles. Overall, a good time had at the beat down and hopefully it didn’t destroy anyone for IronPax tomorrow.

Moleskin:
Today for me was about planning something different. I’ve been posting for almost 2yrs ad Q’ing for maybe a year. I’m still a weak runner and have a desire to be better. I tried to focus on legs more and to run more than I like to. 
I was a little disappointed that without Alright Alright there, no one even seemed to notice that there was no SSH or IST’s! I was glad to see everyone that came out this morning. I feel like this one could use a little improvement but it was a good work out. I HAVE to get a new speaker as mine is terrible. 

Announcements:
Lots of stuff I don’t remember – 
College football at Ultra’s on Saturday 09/12
IronPax at The Harbor tomorrow | Alright Alright is Q’ing  9/11 alternative
Golf October 3rd… Ultra, thinks

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Thankful for another day with these men to get better physically and mentally

MOLESKIN:
I could probably write on this for a while but a lot of the stuff was just some of those “had to be there” moments. The #mumblechatter was at an all time high this morning. Lots of chatter about the IPC and what it is doing to physically destroy your body…..we also hyped it up more than normal because Agnes hadn’t done it and is preparing to do it tomorrow. Island Time with the jokes this morning had everyone buckled over. The normal chatter that comes from Rump Roast always makes the PAX feel welcome. Bleep was finishing something during MARY but we still aren’t exactly sure what was going on over there in his little space. Shifty was going along for the ride and had a great time.  We all learned Agnes likes a hot dog coming in hot off the gill. I’ve never heard so much chatter about hot dogs and what does/doesn’t go into making them. I bet we spend 20 minutes on the “hot dog” conversation.  The original plan was to meet up with the KTT guys but after seeing the track closed we “made it up on the fly”. Thanks to all PAX who made it this morning!

Thank you to each PAX that came out. You exemplify what it is to be a father and leader for your children. Big thank you to Mrs. Rump Roast for the pictures and note taking of names!

MOLESKIN:
Where to even start here. YHC was looking forward to this day for many weeks. YHC children had been begging to go “workout” and was constant reminded by them that the day was almost near. Lots of laughter and smiles were shared today in what almost seemed like “normal” PRE-COVID day. YHC was very surprised to see how many people could fit in Burleson Park – it was packed! Very different than the park at 0530. Great time seemed to be had by all. Lots of good names for the 2.0’s which they enjoyed. Looking forward to another 2.0 workout soon. YHC will get this posted on the website when I get the rest of the pictures from the 2.0 workout.
