Talked about vulnerability and the need for vulnerability and stepping outside comfort zone to grow (both physically and spiritually). Talked about Q being first time leading many of the men at Huey and although, Q has done this many times, there is still a vulnerable aspect to leading men you just met in the gloom. Always remember to step outside of comfort zone as the effort of the man defines his character more than the success and failure. If we never step out of our comfort zone and become vulnerable, we will neither see true success OR true failure to grow from.

Teddy Roosevelt Quote: The Man in the Arena speech from 1910

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong
man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better.
The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is
marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who
comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and
shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows
great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy
cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement,
and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that
his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know
victory nor defeat.”

It was determined early on that weighted vests and burpees/merkins “ad nauseum” (Mayhem) do not go well together. It was also determined and mentioned that there are different muscle groups other than the muscles in the chest just to make sure Q knew that.

We got a sweet picture of the Helicopter with light and fog shining in. CCR war songs were played during the intervals, almost like Q read the mind of Ducktales before seeing Slack….

At the end of the workout, Gretel put his stamp of approval on the “total body” beatdown this morning. I am almost certain that means it sucked really bad…..

Q called an audible on second interval set to do some squats and lunges. Didn’t feel right to ask PAX to do something for 60 seconds when I could barely lift my own arms in the merkins position by that time!

Q talked about friendship and loving thy neighbor. Talked about how, as a kid, it is easy to make friends. Whoever is playing back yard ball, it just kind of happens. As we get older, it is harder to build those relationships, especially amongst male friends. Read scripture pertaining to loving thy neighbor and being friendly. Luke Chapter 25-30 The Good Samaritan Principle. Left the PAX with three challenges on friendship and loving thy neighbor

1. Be available – So many opportunities are missed to help others in life because we feel like we are too busy or have other priorities. Stop and be a friend. Being available is the first step to a genuine friendship.
2. Be Compassionate – Don’t just think compassionately, let it show in your actions. This is a huge step in friendship as well.
3. Be a Friend to Who they are now – Don’t expect friendships to be determined on what you expect from others. Care for them and be there for them right where they are.

Thanked the guys for being good friends to me and each other through the F3 platform.

WreckedEm used his block to make many derogatory movements directed at Q. This was warranted and deserved.

Talked about the story of Abram (later known as Abraham) that all Christians know well. When he was close to 100 years old, he and his wife had grown impatient in waiting for the descendants that God had promised them. So, his wife gave him her servant and he had a child with the servant. In a span of 5 verses in the Bible, the whole situation had turned into a complete conflict amongst those involved. The moral of the story is to completely surrender yourself to God’s will. Their will times where it is easy to become impatient and try to take control of your situation, whatever that situation may be. Have Faith that God is in control of your life and avoid the temptation to control every situation you are placed in. This is something that really stood out to me as I often times try to take control of situations I shouldn’t, so it was a challenge to me, but also to any PAX struggling with the same thing.

Q had a lot of curls built in to this workout. A LOT OF CURLS. At one point, it was brought up that after this one, the M’s of the PAX would be impressed with Bicep size. At that point, Shotput threw it out there for debate/discussion: Do M’s really care about bicep size? The results were mixed. Some said “yes”, some said other choice phrases leading up to meaning “no”, others said “probably but no good M is going to make decisions based off of the size of your biceps”. Anyways, it is still out for debate……Does size (of biceps) really matter?

TWSS, see above.

Deep Dish informed the PAX present that he would be repeating his Saturday hill workout, everyone was thrilled and I am sure attendance will be through the roof this Saturday at Battery….All jokes aside, he has a good one planned…if you are into almost dying.

The Thang

Started with a little something to celebrate the PAX. The main reason I have made it a year of consistent posts within F3 Chattanooga is all of the PAX, especially those at Hackliament. So, we started with a little PAX choice circle. PAX chose their favorite (or most hated in some instances) exercises and we did 25 reps. There were 9 men so after each choice, we did Burpee apocalypse.

PAX Choice

---

COT

Went around the circle and had each PAX state something about F3 they are grateful for. Had many good responses, all with mainly the same theme: Brotherhood, Friendship, Accountability, Inclusion, etc.

Q spoke to PAX about what F3 has meant in his life the past year. The fact is that F3 is a great Organization, but only because of the PAX and their friendship and support towards one another. The friendships built here are built off of a solid, lasting foundation and it keeps men like me from being a sad clown trudging through life. So, thank you to each one of you as you have impacted me far more than you know!

Moleskin

The MC started before the disclaimer. Abercrombie had a (Coca-Cola) gaiter on his head to keep sweat out of his eyes. Of course, this turned into a Woodrider mask vs. gaiter discussion. He loves masks…..

Tatonka was wearing an Orange Mud shirt. Sousa proceeded to say he thought it was “Orange Nut”. As a Vol fan, I had some thoughts not suitable for F3 as to how cool “Orange Nut” would be. I mean, come on, we do say we bleed orange….. Only slight differences there, right?

The PAX choice circle was SUPPOSED to be good for the PAX as they could pick the exercises, however, it turned out most picked exercises they hated. There were a few this was stupid’s in there. To be fair, the burpees were far from the PAX’s choice during this part of the beatdown….

Woodrider broke his block…. Unsure if it was the crushing pressure from his biceps during curls or the ground that actually broke it….Also, Sousa was across from him so it could have been mind power….Sousa is good at breaking blocks that aren’t his.

Woodrider admitted to have eaten three hot dogs last night because “it was a buffet” This may or may not have had anything to do with broken block. Also, you can get hot dogs at the Lookouts convergence if you come early. Sorry Hacksaw, Toe Jelly noted that when it’s a hot dog buffet….you can always have “just one more”. Please don’t sue for trademark infringement.

Q made the decision to make this largely a Running beatdown.

Ran from Park Bridge around concrete loop (stayed off of dirt trails, since you know….rain and mud) to other side of Park close to Jenkins Road. Performed 20 Merkins (Q cadence up/down) and 20 Squats (Q cadence up/down). During this, M.I.A. somehow did his merkins over a very large ant hill. We didn’t run back to this spot, audible was called and made. Focused heavily on squat, merkin, lunge, etc. form instead of speed.

Ran from this side back to Park Bridge and performed 20 Merkins and 20 Squats.

Ran Loop around Park and back to Bridge; performed 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, 20 Werkins, 20 Lunges.

Ran Loop around Park and back to Bridge; performed 20 Merkins, 20 Squats, 20 Werkins, 20 Lunges, 20 Ranger Merkins, 20 Toe Merkins

Read excerpt from graduation speech. Man performing speech has masters degrees, doctorates, etc. in Engineering but stands by his opinion that the wisest man he has ever known is his father, a third grade dropout. His father always told him “Make sure your serving towel is bigger than your ego, ego is the anesthesia that deadens the pain of ignorance, and pride is the burden of a foolish man.” He also told the story of John Wooden. Won multiple championships in NCAA basketball, BUT despite that, he swept the gym floor each night after practice. If you want to make an impact on others, find your broom every day and make sure you serve others before yourself. Stay humble and serve.

Phillipians 2:3-5: Do nothing from rivalry or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you not look only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves.

Wow, what a day in the Gloom! Lots of good MC and some anthills as well.

M.I.A. pulled a fast one on Slack stating that Q had promised no burpees. Although Q didn’t remember that conversation, he stuck to it (except for 1 burpee and then 1 burpee, so technically it wasn’t burpee(s)) At 6:13, it was revealed that was made up but worked nicely. Did this have anything to do with M.I.A. doing merkins over an anthill? We will never know.

Q did not make Rollback run through mud/grass and stuck to pavement because he had some really nice running shoes on (of course, it rained some, Blackout Q right?) At the end, he voluntarily went through a muddy patch of grass to get back to car…..

Lots of other MC, you should have been there!

Spoke a bit about accountability. A couple items to remember (one bible verse and one quote):

Proverbs 27:17: Iron sharpens iron, and one man sharpens another.

“Being held accountable feels like an attack if you’re not ready to acknowledge how your choices and actions impact not only yourself, but others” – anonymous

Challenged PAX to be open-minded and always welcome criticism and accountability. It is the only way to truly get better and in turn, make others around us better.

Lots of good MC as always at The Battery!

More discussion surrounding cadence/no cadence on the forward fold. Cadence works great when certain people attend the beatdown. No cadence works great after you have just run up The Battery hill and need a moment to catch your breath!

Deep Dish continues to enjoy pain; His ten count consisted of “0” during the beatdown. He’s an animal! On that note, I have still yet to get Abercrombie to take his vest off. That’s got to be like: Abercrombie’s vest: 5 and Blackout: 0 at this point….

Q Spoke about increasing your faith by stepping out of some circles. When you are younger, it is easy to go outside and play with whoever is there, whether it be sports, exploring the woods, etc. There is usually very little consequence to those friend choices (except maybe getting beat at a game) during those years. As you get older, these choices become more important. It is easy to get sucked into peer pressure and social media pressure and get caught up in a friends circle that on the surface might look like a fun circle to be involved with. This is especially true in terms of the “keeping up” crowds of individuals. Social Media has unfortunately evolved many social circles into nothing more than the equivalent of immature high school friendships. It is important to recognize these warning signs and step out of friend circles that are bringing you down spiritually and/or emotionally. A message I heard over the weekend said this, “Sometimes to open up your faith doors to something greater, you have to close down some of your doors to circles that enable thought processes and choices that often times directly or indirectly go against your faith growth”. I have personally found myself often times falling into these traps and often times, I come out worse spiritually than when I went in. I have also lost friends over petty disagreements because the other side of the disagreement seems to be the “cool” option to take. Many of the men at F3 have become a new circle for me in a sense that has helped me grow both physically and spiritually in a way that I would not otherwise have been able to grow.

Left the PAX with one more thought process and question: Someone might ask, are we not supposed to reach out to these friend circles and groups and help them find their faith and become closer to our Lord and savior? The answer to that question is always a resounding yes. But, like anything else, there are two sides to a coin. Those friend circles must also choose to change their lifestyle to follow Jesus and his teachings, and if they don’t, it is just as easy for them to drag you in the opposite direction…. Be careful of the circles you choose to remain in.

BLIMPS and DORAs are separate workouts, right??

Q led the PAX on a warmup lap around the park. Many PAX turned left at the flags out of instinct, the church parking and hill beatdowns have really cause some confusion amongst the Hack Pack…..

Q was asked yesterday: “Church or Dominos”. There may have been some steering in one direction over the other (cough, cough M.I.A.). At that point, it was determined that the Q process in F3 is very much anocratic (half Q dictatorship and half democracy). You never want too much of one side of that…..

Talked about keeping a positive attitude even during times of struggle. Someone is always watching. Gave an example of my children watching me. I had a bad few weeks at work, etc. and brought a bad attitude home. My 9-year old started getting an attitude and I kept asking my wife, wonder what’s wrong with her? My wife and daughter called me on it. The fact is, my children were watching my negative attitude every day for those few weeks and it rubbed off on them. You never know who is going to be watching: children, colleagues, spouses, strangers, no matter what if we keep a positive attitude, that is the first big hurdle in leadership. That attitude will bleed over to others, whether good or bad, so make it good!

Lots of MC surrounding the fartsackers. Specifically, those who needed an extra block (cough, cough, Sunscreen). Took a picture of “extra” blocks at the end just to add salt to that wound!

Other MC surrounding the fact that we should have Q review platforms, similar to Trip Advisor. Not sure if that is a good or bad suggestion when I am the one on Q…..I will maintain a positive attitude and say it would have been good reviews today (see positivity note in COT above)

Apparently, there is someone who walks their dog around the park early in the mornings with the leash hanging out the window…….Only the dog is walking, the someone is driving very slowly in circles. Never seen that before, so thought it was worth mentioning.

Heard at one point that “Blackout” might be “blacklisted” from the Q lineup at Ridgecut in the future due to levels of stupid-ness today. It was a joke….at least I think it was a joke….

During a late point in the DORA, Q switched 5 burpees to 3 on the runs to Cone 5. Some PAX were grateful, others pointed that it was the Parliamentarian in me, had to modify somewhere!

Overall, Q enjoyed first time at Ridgecut and mumble chatter therein, will be back! (maybe, see 2 paragraphs up)
