Grow School III + The Reckoning

AO: -f3-nashville-general
Q: SalPal , Hair Band
PAX: Pep, Natural Ice, Juicy J (JBowman), Chunks
FNGs: None
COUNT: 6
CONDITIONS:

WARMUP:

THE THANG: The Reckoning! A common piece of feedback I’ve had and heard about F3 is that sometimes you plateau physically. So, we are launching the Reckoning! Below is the link, it usually takes ~1 hour, with 11 exercises (in honor of the 11th anniversary) either AMRAP or for time. It’s the template for future Grow Schools, and if you want to run this as a one-off for a Q, be my guest. Just record your numbers, track in the sheet, and watch yourself get better.

T-Claps to Pep for helping me push through the pain after taking off ~20% of my right shin during box jumps, and to the other men for encouraging one another similarly.

Want to get in on the competition? Mark your calendars for Grow School IV + Reckoning on Dec. 6th.
