The Burden of a Block
Pax were asked to pair up, Workout was dora style, however running was not involved.

***all exercises were to be completed with the block***

(Exercise with * indicate block being held above the body while doing the exercise.)

Curls

Pickle Pointers*

Squat Thrusters

Flutter Kicks* (Hard Count)

Grave Diggers

Bench Press

Squats

Box Cutters*

Pax 1 starts first exercise while Pax 2 rifle carries his block to end of parking lot and back, once back Pax 2 picks up on the rep count where Pax 1 left off, as he is now rifle carrying his block to the end of the parking lot and back. The Pax rinse and repeat until all reps are done and they move on to the next set of exercises. The goal of the beatdown is to not only get the reps in, but to not put the block down for the entirety of the workout. YHC kept a little extra for the pax just in case it was needed, (and it was). With 10 minutes left before time, all pax lined up on the sidewalk that runs along side the playground. Pax were to do next set of exercises till time.

4 Murder Bunnies & 1 Blockee,

8 murder bunnies & 2 Blockees,

12 Murder Bunnies & 3 Blockees,

16 Murder Bunnies & 4 Blockees,

20 Murder Bunnies & 5 Blockees,

then back down the ladder back to 4 & 1


COT

Talked about burdens…

WE ALL HAVE BURDENS. We carry them every day.

They can be

  • financial
  • Health related
  • Burdens at work
  • Family related
  • For some it could be extra weight that you are carrying around
  • These blocks today were a burden this morning thru every exercise that we did.

When I started F3 six months ago, I didn’t know I needed it until I started coming regularly. But it has become more that just the first F. It has become more about the other men and the relationships that have been built thru F3.

F3 exists to be able to plant, grow, and serve small workouts groups for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Every man out here at almost every workout each morning is going thru something.

I have no doubt that any man out here would be here to help if needed.

Paul’s writes in Galatians 6:2 that we are to carry each other’s burdens, in this way we fulfill the law of Christ.

Helping others, loving others is central to being a leader. And that is what F3 is about!


Moleskin

The beatdown was done in the parking lot beside the Collegedale police department, so when the pickle pointers started, the officers standing outside had their giggles. not real sure if it was the “Caw Caw” of the Seagull or just the way Uncle Joe was making eye contact with them. it would have been nice if 9Volt had worn his American flag shorts though!! at the End of the morning the PAX were all worn out, some complaining about not being able to lift their arms, which totally makes you feel good!

    I draw a lot of beatdown inspiration from a YouTuber who has a slogan, “Nobody gives a f*@k”, by which he means nobody cares if you are working hard or not, its up to you to get off your butt and take responsibility for your own progress. This seems to be a basic world view when you look around at the majority, but we are blessed to be part of an organization that prioritizes what we call the 2nd F and 3rd F. Let us make the effort to encourage and care about others in order to help them get better.


    Moleskin

    If you bear crawl slow enough, you get to rest one arm while its in the air.

    You should be the one wearing the towel, not your male massage therapist.

    She Shed maintains his streak of not splashing merlot.

      Q realizes that “The Thang” wasn’t a full hour but “Power 45 minutes” doesn’t have the same ring to it. Plus, the entire beatdown was an hour long so it still works.
      F3 Power Hour
      Q had a 45 song playlist and shuffled deck of flash cards with exercises written on them. Upon the start of the first song PAX would begin performing first exercise. Every minute a new song would begin playing and Q would reveal a new card with a new exercise written on it. This new exercise would be completed for one minute until the song change occurred. This pattern continued for 45 minutes.

      Exercises completed were:

      Goblet Squats, Step Ups, Toe Merkins, Heel Touches, Kettlebell Swings, Block Presses, Box Cutters, Windshield Wipers, Merkins, Burpees, Bent Over Row, Dive Bombers, Blockees, Side Plank (each side one minute), Pulse Squats, John McCains, Iron Cross, American Hammers, Low Plank, Shoulder Taps, Mountain Climbers, Flutter Kicks, Incline Merkins, Bird Dogs (each side one minute), Dips, Table Saw, Plank Jacks, Bonnie Blairs, High Plank, Squats, Big Boy Sit Ups, Lumberjacks, Decline Merkins, Lunges, Freddie Mercuries, Little Baby Crunches, 100s, Hillbillies, Imperial Walkers, Curls, V-Ups, Side Straddle Hops, Reverse Lunges

      COT

      I read the following poem by John Donne titled, No Man Is an Island.

      No man is an island entire of itself; every man
      is a piece of the continent, a part of the main;
      if a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe
      is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as
      well as any manner of thy friends or of thine
      own were; any man’s death diminishes me,
      because I am involved in mankind.
      And therefore never send to know for whom
      the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

      An island is a separate entity from the mainland, one that is self sufficient and able to support itself without outside influence. Donne speaks to the perils of isolation and the fact that mankind is not setup to be solitary. In order to thrive and survive, we need community. I read another metaphor in response to Donne’s poem further stating that mankind is also like a spider web – an influence on one portion of the web can be felt throughout the rest of the web. Like a web, as we act towards others, both positively or negatively, we send the spider web of life trembling. One act of kindness can influence and encourage another to follow it.

      I spoke to the positive impacts that F3 has had on my life and how I didn’t know I needed it until I was already a part of it. I encouraged the PAX to continue to share F3 with others and bring new people into our community of brothers. Some people need what F3 has to offer more than others, but we all benefit in some way. All it takes is a single positive experience on one person’s life to create a cascading effect that will last a lifetime.

      Comments were made about the length of the Q’s shorts. In the wise words of WuzntMe the day before when similar comments were made at coffeteria, “Do you want hot pants? Because this is how you get hot pants.” Q is now in the market for even shorter shorts. You did this to yourself gentlemen.

      Sousa did not defecate in his pants, yet he still deemed it a good workout.

      The stars aligned and “Jump Around” played when side straddle hops came up in the workout. Mr. Clean showed excitement and followed the songs directions to a T.

        Shared a quote from a book titled How to Lead When You Aren’t In Charge.

        The premise of the first chapter is that there are two primary ways to lead: to lead by leveraging influence or by authority.

        “If you fail to leverage influence when you aren’t in charge you will have no influence when you are in charge”

        Challenged the PAX to consider how they lead in their work places, homes, families, etc.

        With only 5 HCs the YHC adapted his intended beatdown from a DORA style exercise to the format given.

        Don’t play Smashing Pumpkins songs if Sousa is holding your coupon… unless you want several smaller coupons.

        Mayhem is considering opening a personal coupon delivery service. Hit him up on slack for more side-hustle ideas.

        Shouts of acclimation were heard at regular intervals when the buzzer sounded. Everybody loves burpees & blockees.

        Hummingbirds have now been stricken from YHC’s personal exicon. Totally befuddled to discover that they actually move their wings in a figure eight pattern. YHC cannot live with that kind of lie. Thank you Escobar for your leadership.

        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!

          As Memorial Day approaches lets remember it’s purpose, to remember and honor those men and women who gave their lives during service to our country, especially those killed in action. QIC encourages each PAX to not just do this generically this holiday but to seek out a name, a face, and a story of a veteran who made the ultimate sacrifice to defend what we hold so dear in our country. QIC told those present of Corporals Binh Le and Matthew Wyatt, USMC, who defended their fellow Marines from a charging truck bomb in Iraq in December 2003. Le and Wyatt could have ducked for cover to save themselves, but instead engaged the enemy and killed the driver. Unfortunately the truck plowed ahead, exploding and killing Wyatt and Le and injuring 6 others. From firsthand reports, the casualties would have been far worse had Wyatt and Le not put themselves in danger. Corporal Matthew Wyatt was awarded the Bronze Star with “V” device for valor and Corporal Binh Le, a Vietnamese citizen living in America and serving our country, was posthumously granted American citizenship.

            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….
