It may sound selfish but you need to take care of yourself before you can fully take care of others. It allows you to be more fully present and you will then give more to your friends and family when you’re in a good headspace physically and spiritually.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack
COT: prayers for our brother Squatter as he found out his wife has colon cancer. Prayers for a miraculous healing and peace for family.
Prayers for mental health, FLO s buddy who needs a job, and The Banker family involved in crash (everyone is fine).

[Pain Train] 2 year anniversary celebration

Date: 2026-04-03 AO: Pain Train Q: Timber , PAX: Cheeks, Étouffée, Half Lyfe, Stubs, Pebbles, Shakira, Siri, Derby, Timber, Pitmaster, FLO, Chili Dip FNGs: None COUNT: 12 CONDITIONS: 68 degrees, just right
WARMUP: BAC/back BACs, merkins, LS squats, motivators from 5, mosey to cinderblocks and grab 1, mosey to pull-up bars
THE THANG: hit each exercise, rinse and repeat adding 1 extra rep each round; start at 5 reps (start at 10 to level up) Pull-ups Apolo Ohnos Imperial Blocksters Nolan Ryan’s The Lion Kings Run (~100 yrds) American Hammers Iron Mikes No cheat merkins
*finished with pull-up ring of fire. Dead hang, go in circle, everyone does 1 PU and then 2 for 2nd round.
MOLESKINE: Étouffée and Derby leveled up X2 with extra weight! Shakira has made impressive gains, enjoyed fellowship afterwards, thanks Cheeks for the hot brew, thanks Publix for the buy 1 get 1 free muffins and cold brew.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pitmaster hosting a cookout, F3 dads event upcoming in May, check slack for more announcements and details.
COT: motivation is not a good foundation for long term success. Some of the top companies in the world have been studied to find what separates them from everyone else. As it is with the most successful people, you can’t let motivation be your driving factor in working hard. Motivation comes and goes. Some companies crushed it early on, and when things got challenging, they folded, went bankrupt, etc. As Christ did on his walk to Calvary, when things are challenging and hard, which they will be at times, put 1 foot in front of the next and keep marching.
Thanks, Wolfpack and Siri for helping get pain-train going 2 years ago.
PLAYLIST: tunes were so-so (had to start with “Timber”)

MOLESKINE: Challenged PAX to find a moment to be intentional and check in with significant other or someone close to them. Goal is to listen and provide emotional support as needed. I’ve personally lagged in this department as I’ve fallen into the typical male trap of fixing not listening which was all my M needed in the end.

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.

Filling in!

Date: 2026-02-06 AO: pain-train Q: Derby PAX: FLO, Roadkill FNGs: None COUNT: 3 CONDITIONS: Cold but Beautiful Sunrise!
WARMUP: SSH, BACs, BACBACs, WMH, PE Stretch
THE THANG: 5-10-15-20-25 Started w/ 5 reps per exercise for a set and worked up to the 5th set of 25 reps for each of the following:
WWII’s Merkins SB Rows SB Curls SB Thrusters
Each set ended with Pull ups with quantity being the Set # completed.
PAX completed 1 full round and made it 3 Sets (15 reps) into the second round.
We dropped in 3-4 Mosey’s to give the arms a breather.
Ended w/ 2 min plank w/ 20 second Merkin burnout
MOLESKINE: Don’t forget to give yourself grace. We set high expectations for ourselves and tend to forget there are things out of your control that alter the expected outcome. Accept it, move on and continue to do your best.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Holy Smokers end of Feb at Hipster’s
COT: Prayed us out
Thank you gents for showing up and getting after it! Appreciated the opportunity to lead this AM!
