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.

Link: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1f-fBugEBgiOzyiNtQqxeE66tsGRcdIVvWH2JcIOYQT8/edit?usp=sharing

MOLESKINE: Discussion around intentional male community, Shieldlock, leadership, legacy, and growth. Great insights from Pep, Natural Ice, Chunks and Juicy J (JBowman). T-Claps to Hair Band for leading.

F3 Pokémon Adventure

AO: pain-train
Q: Natural Ice
PAX: Siri, Wolfpack, Juicy J (JBowman), El Capitan, Pitmaster, G-string, Sooie, Derby, FLO, The Banker, Motorola, Cheeks, Roadkill, Half Lyfe, Timber, Natural Ice, sideswipe
FNGs: None
COUNT: 17
CONDITIONS: Incredible

WARMUP: We kicked off with the usual Warm-O-Rama

SSH, Merkins, Squats, Arm burn out of ArmCircles, Seal Claps, OHP, and Moroccan Nigh Clubs

THE THANG: We started the Q just like every other day. But hold up—I couldn’t contain my furry—I hit pause on the hype and switched gears. Surprise, fellas! The Pokémon Theme Song blasted through the airwaves, and we were off on a totally unexpected journey through Kanto! (Yeah, I’m that guy.)

After getting hyped, we grabbed our Pokéball coupons (cinder blocks) and made our first big decision: choose our starter Pokémon. Pax chose Squirtle (I was pretty disappointed), but we demolished our rival using Tackle (Blockie Block Burpees) over and over. He didn’t stand a chance.

With Pallet Town behind us, we grabbed our coupons and moseyed into the wild. We encountered a Caterpie—and how do we catch it? 8-count Body Builders with a block, of course.

We trained hard and crushed Brock’s gym with Cinder Block Curls and more Blockie Burpees to claim that first badge. Tackle for the Win

Next, we hit up Lavender Town, where we got a little creepy with Ghastly and his ghostly minions. We didn’t stand a chance with WW1s and Block Lunges, but the grind was real.

Then, we hustled to Cerulean City for the Misty showdown—but first we trained. Squats, Dips, and Incline Merkins powered us through. We got that badge and still had time for some LBCs to round out our Pokémon experience.

Throughout the whole journey, we ran a 3/4-mile mosey with our coupons in tow and hit multiple sets of Blockies, Curls, LBCs, Squats, Dips, Incline Merkins, and Derkins as well as a bunch of things as needed.

Great work by all the PAX— it was an absolute grind, and you crushed it. The Pokémon journey may have been a troll surprise, but we’re all stronger for it. Onward to the next adventure, Trainers!

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Night Movies at 7 pm this Thursday kicking off at the TN State Map

Bellevue is crushing it!
Thank you again for the opportunity to lead!

WARMUP: Classic WOR, grab a coupon

THE THANG: Name That Tune – 90’s Hip Hop Hits

Blockey buy-in (10 I think?), start the music

Each song we are moving around campus, carrying the coupon.

At each stop – Around the Worlds waiting for the 6

Once all in – 413 PAX has the chance to name artist and title. Correct answers reduce # of blockeys, incorrect answers add more.

There were 8 or so stops around the Stonghold, with a smattering of correct answers, averaging about 7 blockeys per stop, with some WW1’s mixed in for good measure.

Back to the startex for the blockey/WW1 finisher.

MOLESKINE: Lively PAX this morning, decent showing with Name That Tune considering most of these pups hadn’t yet been born.

Thanks to the F3 guys who added some extra support and encouragement for the slower PAX, great group effort all around.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 50 miler coming up

COT: Prayers for 413 families going through some stuff, and the current class to stay focused and persistent. Always an honor to lead!
