7 PAX showed up for a shoulder beat down by BA.

I picked up the Q last night when I realized nobody was scheduled to Q.  I was hesitant as the temperature is starting to drop in the mornings, but we all know that when it rains or starts to get cold that I prefer to be inside (garage door to weight room was open so technically it is outside)  When quickly planning the workout I know that I wanted to concentrate on running…. NOT…. we worked on shoulders.

Decided yesterday I would take the Q since no one was on the schedule.  Also, I figured I would bring back the cinder block beat down from the past.  Even though we only had 6 men come out this morning I thought the effort was good and everyone got some good work in.

6 PAX showed up for a lower body beatdown that made it hard to use our legs the rest of the day.

I enjoyed the convo before and through the workout today.  It is nice to talk about our families, good things that are going on, and struggles that some are going through.  I believe this is one thing that makes F3 really different than any other workouts…. you actually build friendships/brotherhood with the other guys. Again, I enjoyed the conversations from this morning even more than the workout.

11 PAX showed up for a round (plus) of The Deck Of Death.

I rolled in about 10 minutes early and got the weight room garage door open, got the cards set up, and then made my way to group.  Good mumble chatter early about the 2 county police officers that were in the parking lot and Spud locking his keys in the car.  Rough one for me today as I about had to pull a JoBu and rush to the facilities during the workout, but unlike JoBu I gutted it out and didn’t want to miss any of the workout.  Shout out to Rudolph for the motivation today during the workout.  He kept u at us today and I think we all needed and appreciated that.

At some point Spud excused himself to try and get his car unlocked….never did know if he got that figured out or not…whoops.

8 PAX showed up for a full body beat down….not planned, but got the idea from the mumble chatter before the workout.

I rolled in about 10 minutes early and spotted The Mayor and Brownstreak stretching already.  When I joined them they were talking about the workout at #GasHouse that I coQ’d with Godfather.  Brownstreak said his traps were still sore from the cinder blocks and Mayor said that his legs were still sore from the squats with cinder blocks and the squats without cinder blocks that we did this past Saturday…… The nice guy that I am I heard all of this and thought to myself I now have a plan for this Q.

I appreciate Mayor and Brownstreak giving me some ideas for my Q this morning.  I was going to wing it, but quickly came up with a plan when we had our conversation before the workout.  Also, thanks to TSquare for remembering who all was there this morning.  Thanks gentlemen!
