Disclaimer:  Not a professional, but we will not move to fast or too far that you will not be able to keep up.  Work in between will be done with my count or a count of others who are called on.  Work hard for them. Stay with the group in cadence.  We will not go so fast where anyone gets left behind.
Principles of F3:
1) Free of charge (zero cost, never charge for a workout)
2) Open to all men (no matter the man, you are welcome)
3) Held outdoors (rain or shine, heat or cold we are out there)
4) Peer led (led in a rotating fashion by the men who attend)
5) End with a Circle of Trust (always ends with a COT)
Mission of F3:  Plant, Grow and Serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.

Warm Up – Short Sale handled this for us

Grab a coupon.

Thang:  Take whatever kettlebell you have and do 100 of each exercise called.  Every time you stop during that 100, multiply x2 and do that number of burpees.  For instance, if you stop five times as you work to the 100th rep, then you do ten burpees when you finish before moving on to the next exercise.  Its not a race.  Use good form and make your body move to where it needs to.  If not now, there won’t be a later.  Don’t waste the day.

Exercises are:  curls, KB swings, goblet squats, crunches, tricep OH extension, straight leg deadlifts (deadlifts were redacted).

OH Hold walk:  Put the KB in your hand, raise it above your head and lock it out and do a lap.  Same penalty as above if you stop and put it down.  One lap per arm.

Iron Hulk for time.  We had 10 and that is a hard number.

Take the weights back to the cars and circle up for Mary.  We did 25 flutters IC and that was time.

Warm Up:  Did some principle work for the new guys (Kotters).  Lots of fun.  SSHx15, Grass Pickers x10IC, MNC x15IC.

Mosey up to blocks to loosen up. Grab a block to carry with you throughout the workout.  You can put it down when we get to various stations to do the work.

Thang:
Mosey up to pole for pledge
Parking lot do 11s (Squats/Merkins)
Horse track to split squats and box jump up and walk down.  Three sets of 10 (5 each leg).
Mosey to field for sled work – One pulls while the rest work (merkins, leg raises, squats, CDDs, Burpees, Shoulder Taps, Situps, SLDL/Good Mornings).  Sled was pulled with harness across the soccer field the short way.  A block was added to give a little more weight.

I had to throw in some Stone Cold Steve Austin Trivia (see further below).  I asked GW’s kid what he liked to do and he said wrestle his brother.  Promptly, the Q said “If there’s one thing I can’t stand……”

We moved back to the start for Iron Hulk for time.  Eight (8) is the best number.  We got to 10 and that’s how I know eight is a good stopping point.

We passed out some beers, slam and chug…….TIME

Disclaimer: I had to give a disclaimer that I was in fact, not a slender or trim individual in the event that anyone there was unaware and that we would be talking about daily discipline of eating as it was pointed out to me by a fellow F3er mechanic.

Lots of good discussion and we went five minutes over.  Here is the brief list of topics hit on outside of the socratics and an email link to a quick YouTube video.

Does it matter what you eat or how much of it?
What is healthy eating?
What is the best diet?
Hard to get in shape spiritually if you only workout on Sunday.  Same with food
Tim Kennedy Israel statement
Childhood obesity
Social media and comfort.  Eat out of shame or if bored?
Many calories and tracking and accuracy of tracking using fitness watches and heart rate monitors are usually still at best 93%
Best practices of weighing in and accountability

Gather, Disclaimer and mosey a little to get the blood flowing.  We ran by and picked up Watts Up and chased off Ocho.

Warmup:  SSH x10IC, Gravel Pickers x10 IC, arm circles.

Thang: Cool breezy morning and it has been a while since the DOD was brought out.  Lots of newer faces that I have never seen at a workout.  This is only good for about once a quarter in total and I hadn’t seen it so out comes the Deck of Death. First, we go thru the principles, in order…

Each pax pics a card.  We do the work and if its a number card, we add a 1 in front.  Certain ones have distances that we set, others we do OYO or IC.  Lots of chatter and good work.  Nutria tried to bury an exercise and as luck would have it, we finished with 25 burpees.  YHC didnt make it, but Slaw did for sure and I was counting with him.  Anyone remember that one run where I passed Dr. Seuss at the end for a kill???
