Move, then rope; repeat.

Date: 2026-03-10 AO: the-knoll Q: morning stār PAX: AAA, Juicy J, Papa Bear, Sparrow, Bumble bee (2.0) FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS: quite lovely; just darker than before.
WARMUP: YHC was late so thanks to the PAX for starting the warm up with SSH, arm cricles, etc.
THE THANG: partner up; one partner moves to the tree and back the other ropes
round 1: backwards moving imperial walkers to tree, mosey back round 2: baby crawl with accentuated shoulder drop, politician back round 3: murder bunny/slow frogger to tree and mosey back
Mosey to backstop in between.
MOLESKINE: not much better for invigoration than intentional movement for45 minutes with some other men.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack
COT: YHC shared about being triggered/dysregulated/hurt this week and how just thinking through it didn’t really work. Once I paused and took time to forgive each person involved, release the situation and open up to bring my core need to God things shifted substantially. Could tell my body relaxed and I was able to dig deeper into what my heart needed.
Encouraged PAX to get back to the basics. One of the basics of the inner life is forgiveness. I’ve been using a helpful model rooted in Christian tradition lately: 1. Count (name) the debt (hurt or what you wanted) 2. Cancel it (forgive because you’ve been forgiven) 3. Pass it to Jesus (he’ll do something with it; ask him to show you what it is) 4. Relinquish the right to be the other person’s judge (only God can really see everything and judge rightly) 5. Bless or pray for that person (you’ve done those same things too) 6. Ask Jesus what the one core need was that you didn’t get met in that situation/by that person (what you long for is good) 7. Ask God to meet that need directly (only he truly can anyway)
Stay childlike my brothers, -m*

MOLESKINE:“The difference between successful people and really successful people is that really successful people say no to almost everything.” — Warren Buffett
The big takeaway I’ve had from all the other moleskins lately is making sure we’re focusing our time on higher things, serving others and the right things. Sometimes saying no is the best way to make that happen.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: none
COT: Prayers for our nation, troops, and all those suffering and impacted.

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.

Dora Dora Iron Mike showdown

Date: 2026-02-17 AO: the-knoll Q: Juicy J PAX: Juicy J, Pebbles, Roadkill, Papa Bear, morning stār, Bumblebee 🐝 FNGs: None COUNT: 6 CONDITIONS:45 no wind
WARMUP: side straddle hops, baby arm circles, backpacks, imperial walkers, Willie May Hayes
THE THANG: Dora Dora style. 200 Air Squats 200 Merkins 200 Dips 200 WW11 50 Burpees Partner Runs around the backstop.
Running + Iron Mike incrementals
Finished with circle of abs showdown World War II‘s, flutter kicks, and lots more.
MOLESKINE: Perspective. As humans, we are wired to simplify the world. It helps us move fast. It helps us feel certain. But that same instinct also makes us dangerously quick to lump entire groups of people together based on minimal knowledge.
We say things like, “All homeless people are drug addicts or drunkards.” Is addiction present in that population? Yes. But is it the full story? Not even close. Some people are there because of untreated mental illness. A lot of them have just had some terrible life luck. A lot of them never had a security blanket like a lot of us do. After years of homeless ministry, I got to see this firsthand after having the priviledge of getting to know some of these people on a deep level. Over the years, I also watched a few of my friends turn homeless after bad luck. No drugs involved. They all have very unique stories. Stats prove it’s actually less than 50% drugs/alcohol and more so mental illness and bad life luck.
We do the same thing with religious groups, politics, and people from other parts of the world, or even our own country. If your bubble is only extreme conservatives or liberals, or people that look just like you, your views get skewed. You lose perspective quick. This is also how social media works- the algorithm feeds you want you want it to feed you- it keeps pushing the same narratives.
This doesn’t mean you need to lose any of your values, morals- you can stay strong there. but also keep an open mind and learn from other people’s perspectives. Ask yourself what you might not be seeing.
So the challenge this week is to seek a new perspective- could be a friend of a different religion, political party, or taking a homeless person out for lunch. Learn a different perspective. Doesn’t mean you have to believe in it.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March Merkin Madness and Grow school coming up
COT: prayer to close us out. Comments were made about Juicy J’s coming out party on FB, per politics. Add me on FB for a good laugh or maybe a new perspective, see what I do there? :joy:

db.dropTables()

Date: 2026-02-13 AO: pain-train Q: Sooie PAX: Juicy J, FLO, Roadkill, Sooie FNGs: None COUNT: 4 CONDITIONS: Cold. Crisp. Waning crescent moon. Frost-bitten field. The kind of morning that makes poor decisions feel noble.
WARMUP: With only FLO and I present at 0530 we began with the F3 heresy of stretching. For a fleeting moment, I considered bypassing the labor entirely, fast-forwarding straight to coffeeteria, forging an epic backblast, and pretending the tables had been arduously carried. But before temptation could commit, Roadkill and Juicy J arrived in unison. And just like that, the motion I once considered… was tabled. We then as a group performed: – Motivators – Walkout merkins – Low slow squats
THE THANG: THE BEAST Six cones. Straight line. Ten yards apart. At each cone: 6 reps. Carry the tables the entire distance. Complete the circuit 6 times. Partner up. Acquire lumber. Cone 1: Merkins Cone 2: Table Squats (one PAX per side) Cone 3: Skull Crushers (incline Carolina Dry Dock style, hands on table) Cone 4: Step-Ups — 2 is 1 (Originally table walk-overs… but frost + slick lumber suggested we adjourn before litigation was introduced.) Cone 5: Dips Cone 6: Decline or Incline Merkins (dealer’s choice)
Lumber migrated. Shoulders fatigued. Grip integrity declined. Rounds accumulated.
Inspired by doubles luge, we proceeded to perform doubles WWII’s upon the table tops, undulating our torsos in unison! jk/lol we did not.
Instead, we shifted to ISO holds: – Reverse plank – Low plank Followed by suicide sprints to retrieve cones. 10 yards out and back. 20 yards. 30 yards. …and so on. Each cone claimed = points earned. Speed gradually decreased. Breathing escalated. Dignity fluctuated.
The remaining minutes were surrendered to abdominal exercises, as mandated by F3 law and upheld by unanimous consent.
MOLESKINE: Reflected on the faithfulness of God in the midst of uncertain circumstances.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: holy smokers Leanpax at an end. T-claps to those who made it through!
COT: Prayers lifted. Coffee enjoyed.
PLAYLIST: Gasps and Groans by the 440+
