Grow School! Emotional Headlocking

Date: 2026-03-14 AO: 1stf Q: Derby PAX: Juicy J, Shakira, Piglet, Hair Band, SalPal, Puzzlah, Salami, Squatter FNGs: None COUNT: 9 CONDITIONS: Perfect!
WARMUP: SSH, BACs, BACBACs, WMH, Runners Stretch, PE Stretch
Credo, Mission Statement, 5 Core Principals (Burpees/Merkins)
THE THANG: Starting w/ Merkins PAX then carries weight ~25 yards and back then adds in the following exercise and repeats until they’ve added all 5 exercises into a set. Once complete PAX knocks out 25 WWII’s then starts back at the top.
10 Merkins 10 SB Rows 10 SB Squats 10 SB Curl w/ Overhead Press 10 SB Burpees
After completing 3 Sets of the above, half of PAX held Planks while the other half carried weight to/from Stage (2x)
Ended w/ 25 Merkins to ensure we hit our Merkin Madness Quota for the day.
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.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check Slack but to highlight a few: March Merkin Madness, f3nashville.slack.com/team/U06KPV4RRAT Murder Mystery, Chunks 50 Mile Relay, Wolfpack Holy Smokers, Juicy J Classic Downtown Marathon in the works
COT: Prayers for continued strength in relationships and f3nashville.slack.com/team/U020QR7192Q‘s EH discussion with PAX
PLAYLIST: Offspring Pandora!
Appreciate you all coming out to Bellevue and giving me the opportunity to lead! You all got after it today!

зарядка

Date: 2026-02-26 AO: the-knoll Q: morning stār PAX: Piglet, Roadkill, Shakira, Bumble bee (2.0) FNGs: None COUNT: 5 CONDITIONS: lovely with some rain
WARMUP: SSH, Imperial Walkers, Willie goes to Egypt, Sunglass loops, Low slow squats
Some rope flow instruction
THE THANG: Partner up, alternate between 5 weighted squats then 3 breath hang and 5 jump squats then 3 breath hang, on the minute. Rope flow for active recovery before the next minute.
Did mosey break and then did it again with just jump squats.
MOLESKINE: – “The Russian term for a daily, light morning workout or “morning stretch” is zaryadka (зарядка), which literally translates to “charging” or “recharging” the body. Popularized in the Soviet Union, it involves simple, quick movements like bends, stretches, and swings designed to increase productivity and improve well-being.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack
COT: YHC shared that being a great leader starts by being a good follower. Encouraged PAX to consider who they are following (imitating) and why. Prayers for presence and overflow of virtuous leadership as we enter our day.

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.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: March merkins
COT: lift up Pebbles friends
PLAYLIST: Nickelback (best band of all time right??) plus some Alien techno
