COT/BOM:
Oh man…that was a good one. Thanks to Cable Guy for the inspiration and a big shout out to him on his BDay. It was great to see GlobeTrotter return to the ranks after a monster travel schedule that put him downrange for some time. He was right there with us like he hadn’t missed a beat. Good work. Link was on point too and made we were able to get some FMs in the mix. The shoulders were strengthened today for sure.

Announcements
The Murph will start at 0700 sharp this Monday at Robin Bledsoe Park.
This will be our Main Event next Monday—there will not be a workout at #mettleofhonor. Everyone is welcome to participate and vests are optional!
Cable Guy has graciously ordered some special NATX Murph koozies to commemorate this amazing event! I hear there will also be some hot coffee and cold beverages after the event for a special F3 Memorial Day Coffeeteria

Great effort everyone…in honor of the Third 500, I thought we could work in more 30’s. T-Claps to Globetrotter stayed in the game even when he wasn’t feeling so hot this morning. And Golden Pinky gets big T-claps for helping us wrap up the Mary with some Murph training. Soccer Season is upon us so we were seeing more cars in the lot we look forward to trying to EH some of the drivers who sit in their cars and watch us go by with our coupons.

Announcements

    • There will be a 2-week window for pre-orders, so get your orders in early and often! Shirts will be shipped 10 days after the pre-order window closes.

Mustard Seed Planted at Mettle of Honor

Leave a comment

It was about 25 degrees out there and working out in the gloom with some wind gusts wasn’t easy at all. So special thanks to the fellow F3 members for showing and supporting my 4th Q. I thought of doing some weights so I request Newton to bring his gear (bricks/blocks) but I changed the day’s theme to track and stack to keep ourselves warm.

QIC: Globetrotter

PAX: Photo Op, Newton, Golden Pinky

GLOOM FACTOR: Dark, Windy, 28ºF

The THANG
Theme – Track and stack. The PAX starts with a jog, stops for an exercise of 10 reps and starts to jogs again. For every new stop we add a new exercise with 10 reps and stack 10 more reps for every exercise we did in prior stop.

Here is the order of exercises listed along with a total count of reps by end of day:

  • LBC (150)
  • Merkins (100)
  • High knees (60)
  • Balls to the walls (Bonus, one time only, single count 40)
  • Mountain climbers (30)
  • Crawl bear up the stairs (Bonus, one time only)
  • Squats (10)
  • Pull ups and Dips (Bonus, one time only, single count 10 set of 4)

MARY
No time for Mary today.
