NMM:
Class 020 launched w/ a huge outpouring of support from the PAX. Love the idea of the F3ers and 413ers partnering up to get to know one another a bit and to learn each org’s Core Principles. T Claps to CCR for coming out pre-flight. Kotters to Reveille coming off the IR. Red Skull and I commented on how awesome it was to see all the F3 HIM out to support the new Class. Welcome FNG, The Dude, 413’s YOGA and Meditation guru.

BH:
5 Year Anniversary on 14 Sept, be there or be forever remembered as a guy who wasn’t there. Or not, who knows.

NMM:
That was a real smoker. Literally, dudes had steam coming off them during and after the workout. Always a good sign, that and Lockbox retching off in the corner. Much better attitudes and better effort this week than last. Well done yall. YHC gave some unsolicited advice on those two things you can control, Attitude and Effort at the end…it was free advice but likely pretty good nonetheless. T Claps to T Rex for owning his bad attitude and lackluster effort last week as well as at Detention on Monday.

BH: Continue to pray for the wives of our brothers that are struggling with health issues.
Pray for Dupree’s church as they recover from an arsonist attack earlier this week.
Pray for the men at 413 as they interview and for signing day on 2 July.

At this point Boo and Lockbox were jawing pretty obnoxiously about who was fastest.
We stopped on the run back on the back sidewalk to pair off and sprint to a pole at some 200M away. While the rest of us had some good natures fun YHC left Juice back to fire the starting gun and see who was faster Boo or Lockbox. While Boo claims a KY Derby like foul on Lockbox, the record shows that Lockbox took race one. (By the way, Juice smoked them like a 4 alarm fire, dude is quick.)

Slowsey back to startex where we had time for some plank for the 6 and 20 Flutter Kix IC.

TIME

NMM:
Today we honored the brave souls who fought for our freedom and that of the world at Normandy 75 years ago. Most of the guys in that circle of trust would have been on the front lines had they been around 75 years ago. It’s pretty amazing when you’re around the 18-25 year old set how courageous our grandfathers & great grandfathers were in the face of the Axis of Evil. Thank yall now and forevermore.

BH:
First Friday Lunch tomorrow. Location : TBD.
Prayers up – Offshore and fam are fostering a child beginning any day now.
Ludwig, Penny Loafers and Dupree’s Ms and their roads to recovery.
Stretch’s granddad Ed.
CAPSLOCK MIL
All those traveling.

Down & Back & Down & Back Again & Again & Again…

PAX:  22 of Nashville’s finest looking men got up early and pushed their baseline a little higher today.  From 4:13 strong we had: Paco, Puddle, Boo, T-Rex, Juice, Lockbox, Notes, Big Country, & Stretch.  Rounding out the PAX today we had Baggervance, Brother-At-Law, Foxtrottalksalot, Toga, Caps Lock, Red Skull, Hot-and-Ready, Hot Route, Porcelain, Casual Friday, FNG – Soccer Mom. I’m missing someone so tell me if I left you out.

QIC: TheJeweler

Gloom Factor: I’d have gone on an early morning picnic.

Disclaimer: The disclaimer was given and emphasis was put on not being sued.

Warm Up: 400m trot around the building from the parking lot back to the B-Ball courts.  Circle up.

20 SSH, 10 GM, 10 WMH, 10 FBAC, 10 BBAC, 10 Air Presses, 10 Hillbillies, 10 Imperial Walkers.  Sprint drills across the courts: High Knees, Butt Kicks, A-Skip, & B-Skip.  Short jog over to the power pole near the court to start the thang.

The Thang: You’ve heard of it, maybe you’ve even seen it, and if you’re really lucky, you’ve done it before… that’s right gents, it’s TABATTA time. 4 Rounds!

One 4min song equals 1 round.  Each song is broken up into 20s intervals with 10s recovery.   One round looks like this:

Sprint 20 sec, 10 sec rest, 20 sec SSH, 10 sec rest, Sprint 20 sec, 10 sec rest, 20 sec Merkins, 10 sec rest, sprint 20 sec, 10 sec rest, 20 sec LBC, 10 sec rest, sprint 20 sec, 10 sec rest, 10 sec lunges.  That’s one round.  We did 4 straight through.  The boys were feeling it, especially those that took off on the first sprint!

During the tabatta  ~20 people didn’t recover correctly.  That equals 100 additional penalty merkins to reinforce the correct way to recover.  Q said that we would take care of this later.

Mosey over to the concrete block pile and pax grabbed 11 blocks and moseyed to the basketball court.  Count off 1s & 2s.  Ones on one side, 2s on the far side of the court.  Partner up with the man directly across from you.

Concrete block relay races.  1s with the blocks sprinted across the court carrying the block and passed off to their partner who sprinted back to the other side.

Penalty merkins… were renamed to Recovery Merkins (I think it has a nicer ring, maybe we call them reinforcement merkins b/c it’s not about penalizing someone for doing something wrong, we want to grow and do things better in the future).  PAX did 10 in cadence.

We did ~10 (maybe more) relay races and 10 sets of recovery merkins in between each race for a total of 100 merkins.  2 sets were windshield wiper merkins, and one set were dolphin merkins.  We did have one PAX go green face and make use of the grass to the side of the court.  Not gonna lie, the PAX was music to my ears as they counted out those last ten Merkins in cadence.  This strong group of men was loud and clear as we tried to wake up the neighborhood!

MARY:  We circled up on the court, 10 WW1s hold the last one at 45 degrees.  20 American Hammers. 50 SSH. TIME!

Announcements & Prayer Request: I’m gonna forget some but continue praying for Ludwig’s wife’s recovery, Steven’s (aka Boo if my memory is correct) grandmother is in the hospital, some of the 4:13 boys are back on the street as well and we just pray that God reaches down and affects their life in the right way in the coming weeks.  The boys set the baseline a little higher today… we will always have tough situations, and curve balls thrown our way, but if we keep working hard, and pushing ourselves in all aspects of life, that baseline of what we can face keeps going higher and I believe that’s how we become leaders by example and men of virtue.

It was an honor to be out there with you F3 Men of Nashville, and an humbling to lead the 4:13 group today.

The Girls at 413

Beautiful morning at The Stronghold this am with the HIM of F3 Nashville and the HIM in training of 413 Strong.  There was a bit of sadness hanging in the air as we found out that since our last post 4 of the 413ers had made the easy decision and left the program.  That’s how life goes sometimes.

Announcements: See CSAUP channel for special Memorial Day option, See 3rd F channel for Dupree’s leadership lunch, and the East folks are doing the last soft launch at Shelby Park this week.

NMM:  YHC has been looking forward to leading a workout with Shaq since week one.  He did not disappoint with several instances of calling out burpees (1 in cadence) and several block exercies that YHC hadn’t even thought of.  Someone must have done some preparation, and that’s a great sign of taking ownership and shouldering the responsibility of leadership.  Keep it up!

Stay Classy,

Toga

PS: I’m missing a few names on the PAX list, so feel free to sound off.

Shaq Sings Bowie – The Stronghold 04.04.2019

28 beauts turned out to celebrate an absolutely perfect spring morning for working out.  50 degrees and dry.  These are my favorite conditions.

PAX: Baby, Febreeze, Legally Blonde, Play Station, Sir Topham Hat, Paw Patrol, Lil’ Jon, Dubs,  3 Stacks, Shaq, Mitch, Dreads, Big Lank, CCR, Red Skull, Porcelain, Toga, Floppy D, Pop a Lock, Hot N Ready, Khakis, Bagger Vance, Black Widow, Danosaur (FNG), B & B, Rev, Hot Route, Brother at Law (QIC).

WOR: Run about 47 feet around the cul-de-sac before circling up for some stretching.  SSH x40, GM x10, WMH x10, Lunging LBAC x10, Reverse LLBAC x10, some high plank, slow and low merks x20.

THANG: Name of the game today was constant movement and getting back to relieve your partner.  Count off 1’s and 2’s (I believe we successfully had 4:13 guys paired off with non-4:13 guys).  We never ran far, but it all added up.

Mosey to the big hill.  P1 does work for time at top of the hill.    P2 runs to bottom of hill, then runs back up and tags P1 out.  No sets, no reps, just work on called out exercise until Q calls out something different.  Rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, rinse, repeat, ad nauseum (literally for Lil’ Jon).

Exercises at the top (rough minutes done in parentheses): Burpees (5); squats (4); American hammers (3); Carolina dry docks (4); LBCs (3); alternating shoulder taps (3).

Mosey to basketball court. With your partner, line up on the long sideline.  Same idea, but running suicides this time.  Exercises at top: Burpees 43); squats (3); Carolina dry docks (3).

Mary: Some high plank, some Alabama Prom Dates, some American Hammers, some flutter kicks, more high plank, GMs x10 to send us home.

Announcements/COT

It was a true honor to lead today.  As I shared, Q and Play from the previous 4:13 class kept coming out after their 4:13 class ended but before their jobs started, which was just awesome to see (props to BV for picking them up for these posts).  They got run into the ground one day at Titan and said I had to pass on a similar beating to this class.  Challenge accepted.  But this class absolutely stepped up today.  Very little complaining, walking, or loafing.  There was some, sure, but that’s expected.  All in all, I was just really impressed with the guys today and the non-4:13 partners that offered constant encouragement and positive modeling.  Just one of those days out there that lifts your spirits.

Sorry to Lil’ Jon, who either splashed merlot or dry heaved merlot at the end.  And props to Paw Patrol who, at the end, requested I never Q at 4:13 again.  That won’t work.

Named FNG Dan Alexander Danosaur.  For sure one of the longest, most impressive, and well-rehearsed resumes we’ve ever heard for a namorama.  For those that aren’t familiar with Nebraska football, I texted my die-hard Husker fan friend afterwards telling him I worked out with Dan Alexander today.  Within literal seconds, he texted me an 80-yard touchdown run against Colorado in 1999: “My favorite Dan Alexander play.  Always carried the ball high and tight.”  Husker fans are amazing.

Pop-a-Lock and (I believe) 3 Stacks on Q next Thursday.  Love it.

First Friday lunch this Friday, April 5, 2019 at The Cookery on 12th.  Forgot to announce that, but fortunately everybody reads the Blackblasts and will see it here.

4:13 Annual Banquet on 4/11.  Contact Red Skull or T-Cell for information.  Join us!

28 March 2019 413 Strong Class 017 Launch The Weight v Wait Q

Temp: 50
Gloom Factor: Nil

PAX: Baby, Fabreeze, Legally Blonde, Play Station, Sir Topham Hat, Paw Patrol, Lil Jon, Dub, Lank,  3 Stacks, Shak, Mitch, Dreads, Brother at Law, CCR, Red Skull, Porcelain, Princess Aurora, Toga, Bad Boy, Pop a Lock, Hot N Ready, Khakis (FNG), Bagger Vance
QIC: BV

YHC rolled in around 0500 to do some Pre Yoga and such and noticed Red Skull frantically getting the mud ready.  Apparently, the auto start hadn’t been affected by the time change yet and needed some attention.  The 413 guys slowly started making there way out to the smoking lounge, er picnic tables as YHC, Porcelain et al regaled them with tales of pain.

0530 Time to Circle up for Disclaimer and the beginning to what would be a Primer on the Weight v Wait homonym of a Q.

As we circled up YHC called out 8 Count Body Builders to start so the explanation of the W v. W concept could be laid out.  Twist was that the “wait” on the 8 Count Body Builders was at #3, the down portion of the Merkin.  That got pretty old, pretty quick and the weight of our bodies soon set in.  Nevertheless, we pushed through to 13, grabbed both shovel flags and headed out.

Partner Up one F3er w one 413er and we’re off.  Mosey’d it about .20 miles out from the StartEx and circled up across from the STEM graffiti wall for

WOR:

SSH x 13, Imperial Walkers x 13, Hillbillies x 13, Squats x 13 (proper from was shown and expected), Merkins x 13 (see Squats) all IC

THANG:

Dirty McDuece w a twist…we did some stuff IC

Run .25 M from WOR to Plant Shovel Flag II.  Circle up for the following:

Merkins SGL Count x 12

Squats SGL Count x 12

Supine Thrusters x 12

Run as a group back to SF I

Carolina Dry Docks x 12

Squat Jumps x 12

Flutter Kicks x 12 IC

Run as a group to SF II

Burpees SGL Count x 12

Lunges DBL Count x 12

Beast R/L x 12 IC

Run as a group back to SF I

Alternating Shoulder Taps x 12 IC

Apollo Ono x 12

Ola Binary x 12 IC (if at all possible, make awkward eye contact)

PAX break off in to two groups for a Partner IR…YHC wasn’t clear on the turning point so Bad Boy’s group went for a bit longer IR…that was ok because YHCs group got to work on their Plank Progression.

We had just enough time at the end for a Primer on the MARSOC Short Card…found a way to get the military in this one after all.

RI 30 Merkins, 30 LBCs, 10 Burpees, 10 Chain Breakers IC

RII 30 Merkins, 30 Flutter Kix IC, 10 Burpees, 10 Cherry Pickers

TIME

NMM: YHC must admit, that wasn’t as much of a Woggler as YHC had intended but it probably was a good intro into F3 for the 413 guys.  I really love the Weight v Wait idea and think it works well not just when we are with the 413 guys but in our everyday.  Paul talks about it in his second letter to the Corinthians, as the “seen v the unseen”.  Anyway, great work this AM and YHC looks forward to many more bruisers at The Stronghold with the HIM in training.

BH: 12th Man lunch tomorrow.  $20 at Richland CC.  We are in a different room tomorrow so just be sure to have Situational Awareness.

East Side looking to get an AO up and running.  Hit up Bro @ Law for details but be aware, it is still early in the gestation period.

Three more days for IronClad Double Glove edition, if you are like YHC probably a good time to start tallying your posts and such.

YHC,
BV

TIME

NMM: Nice work this am Men. Pleasure to be with yall. So, as I Q, I have been trying to do several things 1) doing partner or group work 2) honoring a fallen HERO by way of a HERO WOD.

The reason for the former is that I have come to believe that while life can be lived as a SINGLETON, that isn’t God’s design. In Genesis we are told that God saw Man was alone, it was not good for Man to be alone so He made Woman…Ezer Kenegdo…a helper suitable. In the Gospels, Jesus sends out his disciples in pairs.

The reason for the latter, it has been on my heart the last several years that We owe so much to the brave men and women in the Armed Forces here in the States as well as around the world for their selfless defense of our Freedom. Regardless of your political leanings or stance on War, we need Brave men and women sacrificing their lives for our protection.

Red Skull, per your question, Rabbit was my third Merlot Splash in Nashville. I don’t count Third Person’s multiple, almost on demand Splashes. When we launched Memphis in August of ‘17 there was so much Splashing you would have thought they were launching an Ayahuasca commune.

BH:
Authentic Manhood Study w Red Skull tomorrow AM 0745-0900
First Friday Lunch tomorrow at Cookery 1130-?
