White man come from the south and with them brought medicine and weapons much more modernized than my people. We taught them to hunt and fish and gather and later on took our land and put us on reservations to sell bead necklaces. Now once again we are with the white man and teaching them how to post and sweat like our ancestors. Good work white men from south. Chief is well pleased. We too welcome all fartsackers from north and south and east and west to gather and grow and sweat.

9 of the baddest dudes on the planet came out this morning. We knew Hank had the Q, so we knew it would not be easy.  After several minutes of chatter, Sister Act runs by.   He’s getting in five miles in preparation of the Crossroads launch this Sunday.  At 0530 it was time to clock in.

Mosey to the tennis courts for what Hank described as “a little warmup”.  Four corners.  Corner 1: 5burpees.  Corner 2: 10 burpees. Corner 3: 15 burpees. Corner 4: 20 burpees.

Mosey to the Flag.   50 lbcs OYO, 25 merkins OYO, 5 burpees.

Mosey the long way back to the tennis courts and partners up.  Partner 1: does suicides on all tennis courts while Partner 2 does SSH until completion.  Flapjack.

Mosey forever around the park and circle back up st the launching pad for… you guessed it – 10 burpees.  With about 1/4 mile left Roadie comes rolling in to provide Oompa and YHC with some motivation to finish.   In full disclosure, Roadie did do the final 10 burpees in work boots

TIME

Annoucements: Crossroads launches this Sunday.

Prayer Requests: Self family, Oompa’s family, each other.

BOM: Slaw took us out in prayer.

Six men took their #DRP and resisted the comforts of their fartsacks. This was a smaller crowd than what seems to be the new normal, but what we lacked in numbers, we made up for in work.  There were various reasons why people didn’t show: work, sandy V, etc… Cod Possum, which is Roadie’s brother was back for the second day in a row.  Roadie was running late by his time (still way early on Sparky’s time).  At 0530 it was time to clock in.

Warmup: Gravel pickers, Hillbilly and SSH all x 10IC.

Mosey to the flag.  On the way we stopped for sandy V and WW2 x 25.  At the flag: pledge, 22 for the Vets and LBC x 25.

Mosey to the Amphitheater and partner up.  P1 holds balls to the wall; P2 does the exercise.  Exercises were 10 burpees, 20 merkins and 30 lbcs.

Mosey to the lower shelter. Dips and step ups. Rinse and repeat.

Time was running low so we mosey back to launching point for Mary.   Exercises were Freddy Mercury, lbcs, v ups and one other.

TIME

Annoucements: Patriot 5k and Memorial Day Murph.  Post somewhere.  Warrior Dash.

Prayer requests: the Self family, Oompa’s Father in Law, Allen Tate’s Mother in Law, kids taking exams… and something I feel like I’m missing.  Sorry men, but the Lord knows.

BOM: Allen Tate took us out in prayer.

NMM: guys its been tough getting back at it and staying at it. Feels almost like starting over. But i appreciate the fellowship and the friendship and the push to stay with it. This is one special brotherhood. And in the world we live in today it is much needed and appreciated. Much love for my f3 brothers.

Chief Allen Tate

11 men took their daily red pill and posted to Folsom. With several regulars missing for various reasons, still a pretty good turnout.  The conversation beforehand was epic as usual.  Did you guys know that Def Leppard ‘s name in Madarin means “get your butt down, Leppard”?   We will certainly miss Def Leppard while he’s gone.   Make it home safely, sir.

06:30 hits and it’s time to clock in.

First exercise is… The Slawter Starter.  This is always a crowd pleaser.  Next exercise is the Toy Soldiers x 10IC.

Mosey to the Amphitheater.

Every gets balls to the ball.  one by one nur out to the top and do 10 squats.   Stay in the balls to the wall position unless it’s your turn.

Repeat again except with dips.

We were going for a third time but someone crop-dusted everyone so we moved.

Partner up.  P1 does 100 CDDs while P2 bear crawls then switch so P2 does 100

Yesterday we decided we would bring back our Wednesday workout.  We stopped a while back due to a lack of participation.  That’s now changed.  Folsom is full of HIMs.  It was decided that Wednesday at Folsom would be a run/ruck workout.  I received a text last night from Allen Tate that he bought a ruck sack and was ready to go.  He hops out of the truck this morning with what appeared to be a CamelBak.   #tinybabysack  After Volt informed him his bladder was upside down, it was time to clock in.

Sparky, Montross, Volt and Bedpan took off running. Medicine Woman, Allen Tate and YHC went rucking.

Not sure of the chatter from the runners, but Medicine Woman and I spent 45 minutes hearing about a tiny sack.  Allen Tate also never figured out how to use his bladder.

TIME

COT – announcements: Memorial Day 5k or Murph.  If you’re in town, and have a set, be at one of them. Prayer requests: a family Medicine Woman knows, Allen Tate’s mother-in-law, each other.

BOM: Sparky took us out.

Moleskin: I couldn’t be more proud of this group.  There was a time where Folsom was looked at as the B AO.  Everyone at Folsom is pushing hard; getting in better shape and becoming better men.

I’m proud to be a part of F3 Gastonia.  If I’ve ever posted with you, I want to thank you.  Every person I came across has pushed me in one way or another.  #ISI.  We have a great region.  Lean on your brothers. There are not just there for you at a workout. As I have found out, they are there to do life with you also.  My brothers: you have all pushed me not only physically, but spiritually and pushed me as a man.

Seven of the baddest dudes in the world posted to Folsom this am.   As 06:30 was approaching, we were graced with an FNG.  Corey (later named After Volt), said he was EH’d by EZ Rider.   As 06:30 struck, it was time to clock in.

Let’s mosey down to the lower parking lot.

Warmups: 10 SSH IC, 20 Merkins IC, 30 CDD IC, 40 Mountain Climbers IC and 50 lbc IC.   this brought out a decent amount of mumble chatter.

07:00 hits and the keys were handed to Allen Tate.

Mosey up the to road, stopping along the way to plank for the six.  By the road stopped for flutter kicks and the alphabet.  Come to find out Dolph was doing it in 400 font.  Slaw was at about 395 font, YHC was writing in 6 font.
