36 PAX posted at the birthplace of F3 Nashville to celebrate 10 years of making better men.

WARMUP:

Medium mosey to Soccer Field for COP, all x 10
– SSH
– WMH
– LBAC F
– MNC
– LBAC R
– Groiners
– Newtons Cradle

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.
– Uneven Merkins (aka Staggered Merkins)
– Newton’s Cradle (2 is 1)
– Carolina Dry Docks
– Lunges (1 is 1)
– Elbows to Knees (alternating sides every 10 reps or so)

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
– Boxcutters x 10
– 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.

Q: ccr
PAX: Pedialyte, EZ-Go, Donkey Hammer, Works for a Guy, ccr, Fortran, Young and Restless, Mistah Mistah, Topanga
FNGs: None
COUNT: 10
CONDITIONS: I perfect fall morning with a very light sprinkle on the drive in

WARMUP: As predicted by Donkey Hammer, we started slow. Some SSH, leg stretches, arm circles and a quick yoga flow….all set to the legendary Careless Whisper.

THE THANG: An oldie, but a goodie. We performed three full rounds of ULTAS. Four sets of each exercise…Upper Body, Lower Body, Total Body, Abs and Sprints. Ended with the ever efficient 30 seconds of flutter kicks before time was up.

MOLESKINE: awesome being back out with you gentlemen after a summer hiatus. Appreciate Donkey Hammer dragging me out. Playlist theme was live shows the family went to this summer with one exception…. careless whisper…because George Michael is dead. Pedialyte wins the award for not knowing a single song on the playlist! I will post the playlist for those that requested and want to gain some street cred

ANNOUNCEMENTS: 10 year Anniversary convergence tomorrow am at Stonewall (Sevier Park). 6-7am. Come out and celebrate a decade of greatness.

COT: We prayed for the pets in Springfield, OH and for open-mindedness and respect during the upcoming sprint toward the election. Whatever way you lean, get out there and vote!!

Cheers,
CCR

Ladder down as time allows
I think some PAX were motivated to surpass the bar set by Movin On Up when I led this first iteration on my 55th birthday on May 31st. I think he and a few others Works for a Guy Deep State EZ-Go and maybe more got through about 3 rungs back down the ladder before time was called. Strong work to all!

Store coupons (at least those that we didn’t crush to powder on our bare hands!

Mosey to wall for a short minute of Balls to the Wall

Final 2 minutes spent introducing folks at detention to the fun that is Guantanamo. Clearly a PAX favorite from all the mumblechatter as we made a full circuit.

MOLESKINE:
YHC would encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read the cliff/spark note about last week’s State of the Nation broadcast, or watch the full recording (even on fast speed if you’d like!)

F3 is a leadership organization, and we need to keep that at the front of our minds as continue to encourage, support and push each other. It’s not just about sweating together on the gloom, but it is about striving to become better HIM for each other, our families and community.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:

COT:
Thanks to Deep State for the kind invitation to join y’all, and thanks for welcoming me! I look forward to coming back again soon.
