Q: Chunks
PAX: Dan and Dave, Salami, hambone, Schnauzer, Young and Restless, Hair Band, Pole Dancer, Dan Tanna, Shocker (Mark Holmes), toga, Skeet, Spinal Tap, Grape, Right Said, Natural Ice, caprate, Red Skull, C Sharp, Snapper, DreamCast, Old McDonald, Coon Skin, Slash, Pearl, Vera Wang, Big Country, Old G, Humble Boxer, The Raptor(Miami), Zorro, Speedway, Filet O Fish, Ten Pack,, Big Bird
FNGs: 1 Big Bird
COUNT: 36
CONDITIONS: Pleasant

WARMUP: No warm up. Gave a 5 min warning to do some stretching.

THE THANG:

Circle up and partner up 1:1 F3 – 4:13
Welcome with Disclaimer and the standard: Push yourself

Then explain that during the workout the F3 & 4:13 men are to get to know each other with the F3 man prepared to give the 4:13 man a nickname at the end of the workout.

Right Said recited the Mission of F3.

Then we run in two lines with the F3 man on the left and his partner to his right. The partners sprint to the front as a team when I call out Front. We ran a mile around the campus, Train caused a little pivot to get the whole mile

At 1 mile we stopped and did a set of BOMBS starting at 5 and each exercise increasing the reps by 5 to 25 Squats. Then I talked briefly about how Mental Toughness is perishable. Just because you finished mental toughness week doesn’t mean it lasts forever, you must requalify every day.

Then we ran again following the same method I yelled Front and then stopped for another set of BOMBS starting at 5. Then talked briefly about 1 second decisions. Between now and the end of the 40 days they will have to make a lot of 1 second decisions. It only takes one of those to lose everything. You must gain control of your mind when all you want to do is quit. Cause at some point you will want to quit.

Ran back to start ex with a detour out onto foster ave and around the corner following the same method for a final set of BOMBS starting at 5. Then talked briefly on Performing without Motivation. Right now you have a purpose to finish the 40 days, but there will be times when you don’t have an easy goal like that and you have to Perform without Motivation, you just have to do it. Use these next 40 days to gain control of your mind and body. All these men here and the others that will take this journey with you want to see you succeed and win. But it’s not given without work. This program will push you, but will also support you. Take advantage of this opportunity, forget about your past and live in the present.

Circled up for the naming ceremony. The PAX did not disappoint with some good names this class.

We had and FNG that Red Skull named Big Bird.

Thanks to everyone that came out and the atlantis men.

Always an honor to lead you men.

Strength and Honor,
Chunks

COT: C Sharp asked to lead the closing prayer in the ball of Man.

Quick mosey to Sunnyside Mansion to show them that we’re all Men from U.N.C.L.E. This phase of the workout honors Jesse “Uncle” Wilker who flew in from Charlotte, NC to teach a handful of us about F3 and prep us for launch approximately 3650 days ago.

Partner up. With P1 running a lap around Sunnyside Mansion, P2 performs reps of the following exercises until they reach 100 cumulative for each.

Abs of choice while waiting for six.

Mosey to Tennis Courts

Line up along court #1 doubles sideline for some shuttle runs. PAX perform 10 jump squats followed by a shuttle run to center service line, court #2 doubles sideline, court #2 center service line, and court #2 far doubles sideline. Drop one rep and repeat all the way down to 1 Jump Squat and a shuttle.

Sticking around the courts, PAX circled up for everybody’s favorite jerk, Jack Webb: Merkins and Air Presses in a 1:4 ratio. We took this one all the way up to 10:40, and everyone LOVED it.

Mosey to Sunnyside Hill

Lining up with previous partner at the base of the hill, P1 performed LBCs while P2 sprinted up to the flag. RnR x 3.

Since we didn’t get here alone, one last AYG with everybody together up the hill before a mosey back to the startex.

2MOM

– Crunchy Frogs x 10 (missed you t-cell)

One ten-second good morning to close things out!

COT/BOM

MOLESKINE:
It was truly an honor to lead this workout. I had no idea what the heck I was getting into 10 years ago, but I’m glad I didn’t let that stop me. Really grateful for the all the men that have stepped up to lead along the way. Whether it’s been as a workout Q, an AOQ, or a position at the regional level, you are making me and countless others better for it. I don’t take that for granted. Nor should you.

Can’t wait to see what the next decade holds!

Also, a special thanks to all of you who brought coffee, baked goods, and other refreshments for extended coffeeteria. What a great way to end!

BULLHORN:
Prayers for job changes, job searches, ailments, and recoveries.

Boat Body – Pontoon Rock

Q: Natural Ice

FNGs: 1 Dirtbag
COUNT: 16
CONDITIONS: Felt like the last Friday of Summer

WARMUP: SSH, Merkins, Squats, Arm Circle, Air Press, M Night Clubs,

THE THANG: 3 mile mosey with periodic merkins and core

We took off for a mosey and as we hit the trail, Robert Frost’s words echoed in my mind – two paths diverged in a yellow wood. But unlike the poet, there was no luxury of contemplation. With the last shirtless weekend of summer calling I ditched my plan and pushed the PAX through the 3 mile loop around McCabe.

Three miles of sweat and glory lay ahead, punctuated by surprise stops for merkins and core-busters. The Playlist? Pure pontoon rock – think yacht rock’s rowdier country cousin. As we pushed through, letting the six catch up at each pit stop, we sculpted our summer bodies with every step.

MOLESKINE: No one was planning on running that far, and everyone pushed through it! Do Hard Things

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Big shout out to Strings and Marcus Wilcock (Homer) joining us down range from the UK, and also Linus from Tacoma WA!

growruck.com/event/gte-55/ is Sept 20-22 if you can make a last minute trip across the pond

COT: Prayers were lifted!

Thank you men of bomber and DintyMoore for inviting me to lead. It was great to come back to the original AO where I first joined F3 4 years ago!

AO: handsomizer
Q: Grape
PAX: Strutter, Focker, Spinal Tap, Natural Ice, Freakonomics, bluemule, Patty, Salami, caprate, Old Maid
FNGs: None
COUNT: 11
CONDITIONS: wonderful, especially with the sounds of Freddie Mercury in the background

Aces and faces- stair run with a burpee
Hearts- Merkins
Spades- squats
Clubs- WW1’s
Diamonds- Dry docks

MOLESKINE: do you guys remember doing anything other than running the stairs? I don’t feel like my body even registered doing any merkins or squats. Agreed with the positive feedback that having some stationary work provides for good mumble chatter. Even though my knee really hurt by the end, was able to finish strong thanks to being pushed by some of y’all. Good work out there.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: check slack, things seem a little slow?

COT: Patty is getting married on 9/8, prayers for his friend Tom, Salami is one step closer to selling his place in Cali, Natty and Spinal Tap are starting a men’s Bible study…and I may have missed one more

I Hate Math

AO: westeros
Q: CubCadet
PAX: Tim the Toolman, Red Skull, Pep, Vector, Hedwig, Spinal Tap, Sherlock, Natural Ice
FNGs: None
COUNT: 9
CONDITIONS: Sweat thru the shirt during warmups

WARMUP: 6 pax carried 1 picnic table to the corner just because. Then last man up mosey almost to the school, turn around back to corner. Standard warmups (SSH, WMH, GM, LBAS, Squats, etc).

THE THANG:
– Pax lined up youngest to oldest (math), counted off by 3s to make teams. .
– Three teams of 3 going for max reps of exercises with movements up / down hill (to port-a-potty as marker).
– Pax A does dips at top while Pax B jogs down to Pax C who was doing BBSU at bottom. Pax B tags out Pax C who Bernies up to tag out Pax A…continue for 13 minutes. Change exercises to Merkins at top, squats at bottom for 13 more minutes.
– Team of Spinal Tap Vector and Hedwig won, 1532 to 1403 to 1252. (lots of math). Their prize was to run with medicine ball to stairs and back to flag (conspicuously missing due to bluemule “software update”)
– Rest of pax moved picnic table back then did dealer’s choice Mary, before winning team joined us.

MOLESKINE: Mental challenge was keeping track of the numbers in the song titles. All songs had numbers in title. Vector missed at least one, which means the Q won :face_with_rolling_eyes:
– Fifteen, 1000 Nights, Summer of 69, 100 Years, 3 AM, 57 Channels, 1979, 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover, Positively 4th Street, 25 or 6 to 4, 365 = 3677 (last math)

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Vector is back. We missed you. Though westeros is not technically the most RESPECTed AO in Nashville, you do the math. Pep has a theory he will share about us old people. He’ll share.

COT: Prayers for a good week of leadership and fellowship. Hedwig and his wife having big tests for 2.0. Thanks for the chance to lead.
