F3 Gastonia Convergence

December 15, 2018 / / 0 Comments

We are getting close to the end of the year and what better way to announce the 2019 leadership team in Gastonia then with a convergence. 47 PAX posted at Gashouse for a little different workout.  In our last leadership meeting we discussed having all of the 2018 Leadership team Q this convergence.  It went like this…Hippa Qed the Pain Lab…Linus(Gashouse Site Q) lead off with the warm-up then Pizza Man(1st F Q), Sargento (2nd F Q), Freight(3rd F Q),  Short Sale(Weasel Shaker), Tool Time(Nantan).  Each of us had 10 minutes to do whatever.  I definitely think that nobody was disappointed with the outcome.  A lot of rocks were pushed and mumble chatter was at its finest.

After the work was done we discussed the 2019 Leadership team:

1st F- Sister Act

2nd F- Roadie

3rd F- Def Leppard

Weasel Shaker- Huckleberry

Nantan- Stroganoff

 

Announcements:

Christmas Party- TONIGHT Dec. 15th at 6pm Lewis Farms

2019 Leadership team- see above

QSource Launch January 2019

 

First off, thanks to each of you for helping not only me, but the rest of the 2018 Leadership team throughout the year.  It is amazing the amount of growth that is seen in F3 Gastonia.  We started 5 new AOs and had 97 FNGs this year.  We also witnessed PAX push the rock everyday and accomplish goals that they didn’t see as being reachable.  It is proof that you can accomplish whatever you put your mind and heart too.  Always trust in the lord and be there for your F3 brothers no matter what!!!  Thanks again for the opportunity and I look forward to see what goes on in the region in the years to come.

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOUUUTTTT!!

 

Baker’s Dozen

December 3, 2018 / / 0 Comments

A baker’s dozen showed at Folsom for another Pizza Man delivery.  During the workout we covered over 2.5 miles and did Route 66, 11’s, killed our arms on the picnic tables, more 11’s, and finally 4 corners.  Great work by all that posted this morning.  As always, thanks for the opportunity to lead and it’s always a pleasure teaching leadership to the younger PAX that posted.

Always remember Philippians 4:13…I can do ALL things through Christ that strengthens me.

Until next time….Pizza Man is OOOUUUUTTTTTT!!

15 HIMs posted for a Pizza Man breakfast delivery.  I wasn’t sure how many would come out due to the highly anticipated VQ from Gold Digger at the Yank.  For those that posted I hope that you got your money worth even though it was JV.  Some PAX got in some EC and some rolled up right on time or maybe a little tardy.  With that being said it went like this:

Warm-up:

SSH

Don Q’s

Moroccan nightclubs and more Moroccan nightclubs until everyone is ready.

Now 10 burpees OYO, then 9, then 8, and so on until the PAX got to 1 but nope not 1, 10 burpees OYO.  Now with our hearts pumping let’s mosey.  We ran to the furthest parking lot for 11’s with Mike Tyson’s and WW1’s.  Good work men!!  Now let’s mosey to the entrance for Route 66 with Bobby Hurley’s.  Now with that complete YHC wanted to bring something my man Broke introduced to Midoriyama on Tuesday.  We moseyed to the tennis courts for Swiper.  It consists of partnering up…20 burpees, partner wheelbarrow, 100 merkins, and then the other partner wheelbarrow back.  Rinse and repeat with 200 LBCs and then 300 squats (All exercises were cumulative totals).  Time!!

What to do?

October 18, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Another Tuesday evening at Midoriyama and like always some PAX got in some EC before the delivery.  My man Def was asking for someone to step up to Q or else it was going to be another Def Leppard beatdown, so I did.  Not sure what I was going to do but over the years doing this you always come up with something.  If you want to know what we did maybe you should’ve  showed to know.  With the weather nice again there is nothing to be scared of.  I promise you that QIC did not let the HIMs that posted down!!!  It’s always a pleasure to get the opportunity to lead a group of men like yourselves.

Until the next time Pizza Man is OUUUUTTTTT!!

14 PAX posted for another one of Pizza Man’s JV Q’s.  A baker dozen stayed for the beat down while one went for a solo bike ride.  Many of you know that I have a routine of doing a Monday Murph.  With this Q I wanted to honor another fallen VET so I searched and found a pretty good one called the “Zachary Tellier”.   After reading who the workout was named in honor of I realized this HIM was from Charlotte.  17:30 was approaching and the PAX kept arriving.  17:30 hits and it’s time to begin….

Warm-Up:

SSH x 15 IC

Don Q’s x 10 IC

Let’s mosey to the small soccer field…YHC read a short description of who Zachary Tellier was and that this workout was to honor HIM!! https://thefallen.militarytimes.com/army-sgt-zachary-d-tellier/3079787

The Thang:

Throughout this workout mubblechatter was at a minimal but the PUSH was great!!  Great work by ALL!!

With time to spare we moseyed to the playground for 11’s.  The exercises were Pull-Ups and Merkins…this was definitely a crowd pleaser!!  I reminded the PAX that this is JV and in order to get to varsity you must PUSH THE ROCK!!

18:15…Time!!

 

As always, thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to lead the HIMs that posted at Midoriyama.  You are an amazing group of men and the brotherhood we have out there is indescribable.

BRR/Bourbon Chase Relay CSAUP

August 27, 2018 / / 0 Comments

Where do I begin?  First off, thanks to each of you that participated in this event.  The CSAUP could not have been done without you!!  A total of 32 HIMS decided to take the adventure across Gaston County to better themselves, train for a relay, push themselves to see what their body could do, be with their F3 brothers, or everything mentioned.  With that said, we left out of Dallas Courthouse at 4am on our 50 mile journey to not only see the great views of Gaston County but also to hit up each AO within the F3 Gastonia region.  Along the way there were a lot of PAX pushing their bodies to do things they didn’t think they could do.  There is no better feeling than to hear PAX say that they just accomplished something they thought they couldn’t do.   Hearing that along with the camaraderie with your F3 brothers make this CSAUP a success!!  Thanks again and if you missed out on this CSAUP be ready cause it will happen again in the future!!

 

Until next time Pizza Man is OOOUUUUUUTTTTTTTTTT!!!

12 PAX posted for another Pizza Man Q.  I had to wait a while for this one but I was finally able to get a Q again at Midoriyama which is a good problem to have.  It’s always great to see leadership within the PAX.  With that said, I went with a little different approach to the  wienke for this Q.  Most of you all know that I may like to run a little so usually there is some mosey during the workout but not tonight.  I pulled into Midoriyama and saw two HIMs (Sister Act and Blart) getting in some EC and some others having locker-room talk. (Which was great I might add)  17:30 rolls around and its time to begin…No FNGs and a short disclaimer emphasizing to modify as needed and to push yourselves.  I know this is a JV AO but do what you can.  At this point Tool Time takes off on his 5 mile solo run…great work brother!!!  Let’s Roll….

Warm-Up:

SSH X 10 IC

Don Q’s X 10 IC

The Thang:

Mosey to playground for some Angie…for those that do not know it is:

100 Pull-ups

100 Merkins

100 Big Boy Sit-ups

100 Squats

Way to push men…Now with that complete…we moseyed to the small soccer field for some more work.  It went like this:

5 Burpees

10 Bleacher Box Jumps

15 Merkins

20 Squats

25 Lunges

Rinse and Repeat 5 times

Once again…way to push men…with ending time approaching the PAX headed back to the flag for 22 for the VETS

Time!!
