Proverbs 24:5-6
A wise man is full of strength,
and a man of knowledge enhances his might,
for by wise guidance you can wage your war,
and in abundance of counselors there is victory.

A lovely 2.29 mile trek beginning on the blue trail and finishing on the old roadway loop. Excellent mumblechatter throughout. T-Claps to Roadkill ‘s rum buffer! No one lagged, no one lacked. The total trek went 5 past our 06:15 target.

I propose that we end promptly at 0615 wherever we’re at on the trail. We’ll all just walk back to our cars together.

MOLESKINE:

We live in a world that is more and more automated. AI can help with all sorts of menial tasks at work… but what if the menial is good for us?

There’s something about working with your hands and enjoying the fruit of your labor that is so satisfying. My day job is a lot of manual labor (lifting boxes, printing, shipping, trimming posters, typing, etc.). I like seeing a clear desk at the end of the day, knowing that my work is complete.

Reflect on the satisfaction you get from finishing a physical task, whether it be a workout, yard work, your day job, etc. Give thanks to God for the health & ability to complete the task for today. It is a gift.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

3rdf community cleanup opportunities coming to the AO soon!

COT:

Nameorama, Countorama, named our FNG (welcome @Hooters!), FloJoe + ADG merch shared. Enjoy!

It was a pleasure leading y’all this morning.

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!

Good Will Bunting

AO: atlantis
Q: Pole Dancer
PAX: Squatter, SalPal, Oatmeal, sooner, Subway, Puzzlah, Toothless, Siri
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: dusty

WARMUP: mosey around the field, active warmups

THE THANG: KICKBALL!

Started off with Last Man Standing- one pitch, if you get out, you join the pitcher in the outfield. Last batter to get out wins. Immediately had to add people to the outfield due to Oatmeal’s lack of hustle.

Switched to standard kickball where we ended in a tie! (boooooo)

Highlighted by some superb batting from Toothless, an opportunity to improve fielding abilities from Siri, and a true masterclass in bunting from both squads. Everyone was red from burpees in the dirt after every hit.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: The dreaded Tennessee Tussle is scheduled! Get excited to form teams of four so we can improve on our finish from last year!

COT: Prayers for health, the passing of loved ones, and career adversity. Always thankful for the PAX providing a welcoming space to share our struggles, emotions, and triumphs together.

PLAYLIST: Quickly threw together selections from the top results on Spotify for “baseball walk up music.” Turns out the youth these days only pull from two categories for walk up tunes- rap made after 2019, and classic rock. Go figure.

MOLESKINE:
“Trash in, trash out”
I love horror podcasts. It’s my guilty pleasure. I was listening to one the other day with my kids in the car, and I realized the insane amount of profanity in it. I generally try not to curse, and I definitely don’t want it in front of my kids, so why is it okay for me to listen to? We make excuses for letting these little things in because we can handle it or ignore it or look past it, but, in reality, it is affecting us.
Think about it this way. If you were presented with a fudgey, gooey, chocolate chip filled brownie, but you knew three of those chocolate chips were actually poop, would you still eat it? No! So why do that with our media consumption? Why choose the thing we know goes against our values? I’m going to cut down on any explicit material (music, podcasts, etc.) whenever possible. We can’t protect ourselves and our children from everything, but we can stop some things from unnecessarily entering their lives.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
None

Siri for work stress and new baby on the way

Disclaimer with extra emphasis on staying hydrated and modifying as necessary

Mosey two laps around park
50 SSHs
25 8 ct Body Builders

THE THANG:

Round 1:
Burpee broad jump down about 20 yards and back in parking lot

Break for water and breath, someone spilled their first merlot (maybe blinker?)

Round 2:
Sit Through Freeze tag, freeze tag but the unfrozen pax do cumulative sit throughs to unfreeze players

Mary to wrap up

MOLESKINE:
I think we often bring pride to our beatdowns and that hurts us. I expected to do more than I was able to do today and ended up having to modify some of my exercises to protect injuries. It was also hot and humid, there was a definite need for water. I’ve learned in 9 years of F3 that I have to push myself and only do what I can. There are some days that will inevitably be better than others.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
4th of July Convergence next Friday at Handsomizer! Keep your eyes on the slack channels
July 10th Night Moves led by SalPal, keep your eyes on the slack channels

COT:
Each man shared something going on in their lives. Lots of prayer requests for healthy family members, requests for traveling mercies, and requests for practicing gratitude in life’s ups and downs

God Bless each of you, it was an honor to Q the Pain Train today. You’re amazing men and I’m grateful to be given the opportunity to work out with y’all.

:sign_of_the_horns: Rock on,

Hair Band
