Part 2
PAX assume Ball to the Wall position.

It was at this point that my written workout ended and I started shooting from the hip.

The water looked really inviting so mosey to the water. Let PAX know that those who don’t want to get wet probably shouldn’t get in the water.

Mosey down the beach a little bit and circle up.

NMM:

An Honor to lead this group of men. Thanks for the hospitality you’ve shown while I’ve been on the West Coast. Y’all have a beautiful place.

Sorry for the 100 in cadence SSHs. I got very distracted looking out of the ocean while calling cadence and just kept going. I hope y’all didn’t mind too much.

Glad to have Brother at-Law join us from Nashville. You performed like a true Southern Gentleman and killed this workout.

Shark Bait is a beast and had the most vertical BTTW of any of the guys out there. It was almost as Impressive as Cleveland Rocks hand over hand walking down the wall and then hanging from his toes.

I wanted to get this BB out while every thing was still fresh in my mind but work travel got in the way and I’ve forgotten the remainder of the stuff I wanted to put in here.

Great JOB guys. Keep Growing and Pushing one another. I look forward to seeing you soon.

SSH

The Thang

Mosey to the bottom of the hill.

Circle up and Dealers choice, followed by 5 iterations of Failure to Launch

Indian Sprints with KettleBell pass

Start at the base of a steep hill, we performed an Indian Run carrying a 15lbs KettleBell. Once the sprinter reached the front of the line, the KettleBell was passed to the back of the line until the last man began the sprint. Continued this for 10mins till we reached the “top o’ hill”.

Performed one round of “Deck o’ Beatdown”

Repeated the Indian Run passing the KettleBell, down and back up the hill.

Start on the goal lines. Sprint to the 10 yard line and do 10 x merkins, sprint back to the goal. Everyone waits to start the next portion. Sprint to the 20 yard line and do 10 x flutter kicks, sprint back to the goal. Continue this to the other goal.

What goes up must come back….. 100 yards the hardway … in reverse. Sprint to the 100 yard line, 10 x merkins, sprint back. Sprint to the 90 yard line and do 10 x flutter kicks, sprint back. Continue this until you are home free.

THE THANG
Always looking for new ways to challenge eachother I came up with the following workout after hearing (joke) complaints from one of my fellow PAX during the Saturday Post.

Using a deck of cards we broke up into two groups of three.
One member drew a card with a workout printed on it (From the “F3 Beat Down Deck”).
They then state a number they believe that they can accomplish.
The other two members can then call B.S. in order and state a higher number (minimum increment of 5)
OR
Each member can claim a pass
HOWEVER
The members that pass must draw a new card from the deck and execute the new workout until the original PAX has completed their set number of workouts.

To help clarify cards: Any distance cards served as a “break” and all PAX executed a run around the soccer field after completing the next workout.

I came up with this workout without the full set of rules worked out in my head and it worked out fairly well. The competition was great and my muscles are definitely feeling it.

Beach’s Spring Wing Ding Patio Party is coming up. You can message myself or him if you need details.
He also just sent out the following amplifications

“Hello Party People! Forecast for Saturday says 65 degrees, cloudy, 10% precipitation, and 11mph winds. If the forecast happens to turn bad by Saturday I will postpone to a later date. Expecting 22+ people. Parking may be challenging, you may have to walk a few blocks. I apologize in advance and will seek your forgiveness with free beer or a wise-crack at my expense. I’m open for business at 1pm or anytime after. Some ppl are asking if it is okay to bring their kids. Absolutely! I have some board games and nintendo if they need entertainment. If it starts getting chilly, I have a patio heater that looks like it got tortured by wind….because it was. Can’t wait to see y’all !!”


Also, for those that weren’t there Saturday, I took over second F coordinator I will be looking at setting up monthly thing for us all to get together and relax a little, this month will be Beach’s party though, so get there!  
Spartan Race is coming up! Don’t forget!
The 27th is going to be a busy day alot of opportunities.

LEXICON: Word of the day-
BE THE BACON –
An exhoratation to another Pax (or to oneself) to improve attitude, to not take things seriously that don’t warrant being taken seriously, and in general to approach life in a positive way. It is the belief of The Nation that no one hates Bacon. No one is sad to see Bacon. Even vegetarians and vegans probably like the smell of bacon, and would likely eat tofu bacon (if there is such a thing). Basically, it means to make yourself and your personality as agreeable and as widely loved as Bacon.

Royal Rumble – F3 Style

Leave a comment

28 Jan 2019

Q: Priorities

So y’all might not know this but YHC is raising up 3 kids to be die hard WWE wrestling fans. What might be more surprising is that M Priorities is actually the driving force behind this. Forced to watch WWF Monday Night RAW (still going btw) by her older brother as a kid, she became the world’s biggest fan of the Heart Break Kid, Shawn Michaels. Fast forward 25 years to last night and the entire Priorities family was screaming at the tv watching the 2019 WWE Royal Rumble!

So if you don’t know, the Royal Rumble is a match where a new wrestler enters the ring every 90 seconds. The only way to be eliminated is to be thrown over the top rope and both feet hit the floor. The last person left in the ring wins the match and goes on to headline WrestleMania! If you watch only one wrestling match every year it is this one. Fan or not, you should check it out next year. In case you missed it, we reenacted the event at Table Top the next morning. Here’s what went down:

A new exercise every 90 seconds. First two rounds were SSHs and Arm Circles to warm up, 90 seconds AMRAP. Every following round, 1 pax sprinted around the “ring” (perimeter of the soccer field). Any time left on the clock when the sprinter returned was rest for everyone. Repeat 30 times.

COT:

“Every man’s heart one day beats its final beat, his lungs breathe their final breath and if what that man did in his life makes the blood pulse through the body of others and makes them believe deeper in something larger than life, then his essence, his spirit will be immortalized. “

– Ultimate Warrior

This is one of the most motivating speeches in the history of wrestling. Ultimate Warrior came on Monday Night RAW and gave this speech 2 days before having a fatal heart attack. As #HIM we should continually be looking for ways to inspire others around us, not for our own legacy but in service to our community.
