Choo Choo Go Ruck Prep

Date: 2026-02-25 AO: insane_train Q: Derby PAX: El Capitan, Roadkill, Shakira, Choo Choo, Dirty Bird FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS: Perfect!
EARLY BIRDS: 11’s Merkins and Bear Complex
WARMUP: BACs, BACBACs, WMH, Runners Stretch, PE Stretch
F3 Mission Statement, Credo and Core Principals
THE THANG: Partnered up for Sand Bag Mosey around Bellevue incorporating various exercises with 1 rule… The bags cannot touch the ground or entire PAX is penalized w/ 5 SB Burpees (I believe we had 5 penalties).
Mosey consisted of Multiple Stops incorporating Bench Dips, Decline Merkins, Burpee Broad Jumps, Pull-Ups, SB Lunges, etc. with partners transferring weight for each partner to get in their reps.
We also had a stock exercise of 10 SB Rows, 10 SB Curls and 10 SB Thrusters that was called out throughout the beatdown.
MOLESKINE: Shared recent thoughts on perspective of time. With another child on the way I’ve fallen into the trap of how do I continue to make time for myself to continue to do things I love and enjoy. With a nice dose of awareness, I’m working on a perspective flip to look for more ways to support and be present for my family and their needs and with that trusting time will work itself out.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Merkin Madness, Holy Smokers, Check Slack for many other exciting things going on in the community.
COT: Prayers for contentment and deeper understanding of purpose
PLAYLIST: Roadkill’s commentary throughout the beatdown :joy:
Appreciated the opportunity to lead this morning! Had an excellent time bouncing around Bellevue with you guys!

Longevity Training

Date: 2026-02-24 AO: the-knoll Q: morning stār PAX: Wolfpack, Papa Bear, Dirty Bird, Stubs, Bumble bee (2.0) FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS: cold enough for sweat to freeze on the face … not too windy thankfully.
WARMUP: a proprietary combination of movements that you had to be present to experience.
THE THANG: Started with a lesson on overhand figure 8 with the rope. Paired up.
One PAX did a Body Builder Burpee with a roll x3, the other rope flowed with overhand figure 8, then switch.
Mosey to the backstop for 3 erkins and 3 step ups.
Back to it … one PAX lunged to the ground and did 3 dead bugs, the other rope flowed, then switch.
Mosey to the back of the park and drag an evergreen limb to the street.
MOLESKINE: – I love to share what I’m learning and thankful for the PAX being willing to try out some rope flow today. – For those that took a rope, here’s a https://youtu.be/3qBEEeqixi4?si=iCWBJqSHTPtE7iI2 and here’s a https://youtu.be/IVKbB7P0j0M?si=LKD1RCr-3W8cqmF4. If you want to get deeper into the practice DM me or text ma and I’ll show you some more free in depth training. – I’m enjoying my personal growth to be able to show up, be at ease and be present with you men vs. feeling anxiety around “leading correctly”.
COT: YHC talked about building some awareness of how our movements and motions in life shape others around us. Most of the time those around us (especially those we are entrusted to lead) are watching and mimicking what we do more than what we say.
Prayed us out with a blessing of loving care to fill our tanks so hope can spring up and overflow to others in our lives.
Stay curious my brothers, -m*

Shakira’s Juicy Hips showdown

Date: 2026-02-19 AO: the-knoll Q: Juicy J , Shakira PAX: morning stār, Roadkill, Stubs, Shakira, Juicy J, Piglet, Pebbles, Hartford (canton GA) Bumblebee FNGs: None COUNT: 8 CONDITIONS: crispy
WARMUP: side straddle hops, baby arm circles, backpacks, willie may Hayes
THE THANG: f3nashville.slack.com/archives/D0A7CGJP3DM/p1771504353652699
MOLESKINE: Call yo Grandma: for me personally, I try and live life with no regrets, the past is the past, learn from it but don’t look back too much. I like to compare it to driving your car every day. Think about the rearview mirror compared to the windshield. It’s not even 10% the size. The windshield is bigger for a reason — focus on where you’re going. But every now and then, glance back and learn from where you’ve been. But anyways, one regret I do have is how often I would reach out to my grandparents. Now they’ve all passed away, but when I think back, man, one phone call to them literally meant the world to them. My grandmother would cry almost every time I talked to her. A simple phone call would literally make her day. Think about what would make your day and compare to that. Its crazy. A point here is younger people generally don’t care about phone calls anymore, its kind of dying- its all about texting and technology has ruined it. It won’t mean much to us when we get older either, not as much. It’s all old people used to have, it’s what they’re used to. That generation is dying off. So if you’re blessed enough to still have grandparents, call them, or write them letters, it’s an easy way to probably make someone’s day.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March merkins
COT: lift up Pebbles friends
PLAYLIST: Nickelback (best band of all time right??) plus some Alien techno
