Day: May 1, 2024

Are you looking for a transformative experience? Then let me tell you about The Pub.

But first, let me introduce you to my old self:

They say the early bird catches the worm, but I was more of a ‘fashionably late bird’—always swooping in just as the worms were packing up for the day. Needless to say, my reputation preceded me wherever I went, like a cloud of tardiness trailing behind.

I used to joke that my tardiness was a carefully orchestrated performance, complete with a dramatic entrance and a round of applause from my fellow HIMs. Little did I know, they were secretly placing bets on just how late I would be each day.

I was the guy who could set his watch to my arrival time—assuming my watch was always set to ‘fashionably late.’ But hey, better late than never, right? Or so I thought until I discovered the joys of being fashionably early.

You too can be changed. After my VQ at the Pub, I have been early to 10 workouts in a row. I’ve enjoyed saying the Pledge, taking my time to make sure I’m within the parking spaces, and enjoying the second F (Fellowship) of other HIMs. F3 is more than just Fitness. There’s so much more and I have had the opportunity to experience the other dimensions of F3 thanks to The Pub.

Contact Defib for your transformational experience but hurry spots fill up fast.

We Pledged

Announcements were made

Prayers were lifted

9 men for a Downtown beatdown.  Maybelline slept/forgot his assigned Q, no worries, it happens to the best of us. Site Q fail, should have reached out to confirm night before. Found out I was gonna have to Q as I was walking up at 5:30. No problem, I’m always prepared to use the same workout using the core exercises of F3.  Not too many complaints, but nice work men, appreciate the suppprt!

We had 10 out this morning at Folsom

Warm up was basic: SSH, Hilbillys, Windmills, Gravel Pickers, and Imperial walkers

We headed up the hill to grab some blocks then made our way to the tennis court for some stacking block work after a rifle carry to each “corner” of the court (we actually had 5 stops):

We started with 5 tricep extensions, the stacked 10 “Lawnmowers” (each side), then 15 Curls, then 20 Swings, then 25 Rocky Balboas, and lastly 30 presses, but of course you have to unstack what you stack so we did!

We did a little ab work before leaving the court to tune of: 10 WW3 sit ups, 10 American Hammers, and 10 Windshield wipers.

We had enough time to return the blocks and mosey to the picnic shelter to do 3 rounds of: Step Ups, Squats, and Bulgarian Split Squats.

Time to head back to COT!
