A quiet, solo adventure. There was outreach (EH) to Cecil who was working out at the fitness court. (Flyer was delivered…so hoping he will join us in the future). Looking forward to Monday’s festival of fun. Great way to remember our fallen heroes. SYITG.

Announcements
The Murph will start at 0700 sharp on Monday at Robin Bledsoe Park.
This will be our Main Event for 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

The Mary was cut short since we burned up all our time doing squats. It was a glorious smoke-fest after the big murph practice. Turned out to be a fine morning for F3. More of a mist than a rain. Golden Pinky brought his A game with vest and we knocked out another murph with time to spare. Keep the EH’s going and we look forward to our next post on Monday. SYITG fellas.

The NATX Murph will take place on Memorial Day (May 27)… 16 days away!

The THANG
Our 2 EC Murph PAX were 25 Pull-ups, 50 Merkins, and 75 Squats shy of completing the full Murph, so YHC baked some Murph into the Main Event:

  • Run a lap, 1 Pull-up, 2 Merkins, 3 Squats
  • Run a lap, 2 Pull-ups, 4 Merkins, 6 Squats
  • Run a lap, 3 Pull-ups, 6 Merkins, 9 Squats
  • Run a lap, 4 Pull-ups, 8 Merkins, 12 Squats
  • Run a lap, 5 Pull-ups, 10 Merkins, 15 Squats
  • Run a lap, 4 Pull-ups, 8 Merkins, 12 Squats
  • Run a lap, 3 Pull-ups, 6 Merkins, 9 Squats
  • Run a lap, 2 Pull-ups, 4 Merkins, 6 Squats
  • Run a lap, 1 Pull-ups, 2 Merkins, 3 Squats

After reaching 100% completion for the Murph, the PAX performed a quick circuit of 20 Dips, 20 Derkins, and 20 Box Jumps/Step-ups.

The F3 name of the next exercise escapes YHC, but the PAX hopped forward on one leg for 3 hops, switched to the other leg for 3 hops, and repeato until reaching the end of the parking lot.

PAX held plank for 3 10-counts (1 per PAX) and then performed 10 Mountain Climbers IC.

The PAX then turned 90º and performed the alternating one-legged hops – 4 hops per leg – until reaching the end of the parking lot.

On their 6, PAX held feet 6″ off ground for 3 10-counts (1 per PAX) and then performed 10 Flutter Kicks IC.

The PAX then turned 90º and performed the alternating one-legged hops – 5 hops per leg – until reaching the end of the parking lot.

PAX held Low Squat Hold for 3 10-counts (1 per PAX) and then performed 10 Body Weight Squats IC.

The PAX then turned 90º once more and performed the alternating one-legged hops – 6 hops per leg – until reaching the end of the parking lot.

PAX held plank for 3 10-counts (1 per PAX) and then performed 10 Merkins IC.

MARY
Platinum Pinky led the PAX through 10 Crunchy Frogs IC.

Newton led the PAX through 20 LBCs OYO.

COT/BOM
As we went around the COT today, Newton (Respect!) and Platinum Pinky (Double Respect!) was given their due recognition and YHC was reminded just how respect-full the PAX was today!

YHC closed the workout with a quick prayer to give thanks for a nearly perfect day to workout and to be better men. YHC also prayed for the men at the workout and the men who missed the workout. And, finally, YHC prayed for F3 NATX – that our efforts would be blessed and that men would join us on our worthwhile mission.

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.
