202 #HIM converged on Waxhaw today to officially launch F3 Waxhaw. We were able to include all 3 F’s into today’s event and appreciate all that were in attendance. Reiterating what Goodfella said this morning during COT, wanted to share with all to see what can happen when you join a group of men with a mission to Plant, Grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community. In looking at how F3 Waxhaw came about here is some background:
Plant:
Grow:
Serve:
Thank You:
And now that we have covered the official report from Goodfella. This is Foundation’s report on F3 Waxhaw Launchvergence. Before going into today’s overview, I think this group we have here has grown to be a strong pax due ability to get after in the morning with 1st F opportunity, find ways to bond both as a group via various jabs taken/given on GroupMe, and through ability to collaborate and support the community in multiple 3rd F opportunities. As it was said on a recent podcast the biggest thing to remember is “Don’t forget to out at 5:30 in the morning and be a complete idiot. Act like a child. Fart and burp and make fun of the Q and just let loose before you go home and gotta be a grown up.” So with that said, in typical F3 Waxhaw fashion meow is today’s backblast.
Some how I was the only guy that would agree to have 5 guys send them pictures of their weinkes and agree to give a full review/report. So here it goes:
Pre 7:00 AM Report
Warmup:
Short mosey to lower lot and circle up. As always in Waxhaw we are very safe so thank you Bottlecap for wrapping up your DCCS briefing. If new to Waxhaw before each workout we are sure to cover DCCS (Disclaimer/CPR/Cellphone/Safety Overview for morning workout) briefing to ensure that we always identify who the people that we can turn to in case ever needed in gloom. Luckily today, each group had a pre-arranged Jock Strap to ensure our DCCS were covered for each group. Now back to the warmup.
At completion of warmup break into 5 groups. Each being led by a Q / Wrangler / Jockstrap

inner Damascus, but quickly set straight by his Wrangler) so we setup by Transporter’s
shed for
Captain Therkin:
Give a 10 count and the Q/Wrangler confer and complete audible #1. In my mind all while reciting – “Baby (DW) seems we never ever agree, You like to run, and I like to circle up. You take things serious, and I take ‘em light.” So in end we settle on:
Paula Abdul:
A little mumblechatter from Dasher and his group that we encroached upon their area, but as the pirate says in Captain Phillips – “Look at Me! I am the Captain Now!” so we claim our area and begin next exercise:

Official report is not in but, based on group leaders I imagine it went like this.
Do some basic moves – oh let’s run.
What should we do next – I know “Let’s run” Ok, think we should do something to gather the 6, lets do some burpees to sound of the train.
Here is a new exercise we can try – Run!
Let us see if we can run in circles.

For any that would like to come back and workout with us clowns from Waxhaw, below provides some details on where you can find us:
Foundation (Toby) – Out!
You all should be incredibly proud of what you pulled off as a Region this morning. The amount of effort and coordination that you all put into this launch was obvious and paid off in spades. Speaks volumes of the exciting things to come out of F3 Waxhaw. Awesome morning.
The report on Hollywood’s workout was surprisingly accurate. Although, we did have a healthy dose of merkins (standard and mike tyson) with our running (3.5 miles!) and burpees.
Oh, the picture is out there Hops — and it is glorious: https://twitter.com/bridgeofbrian/status/1168554661542076416?s=20
