Deadwood meets The Swarm 8/20

8/20 /21– Always fun with Deadwood on Q….and it looks like he”almost” made himself puke. Welcome back to The Swarm to Dunkin

 

Blackhawk 8/7

Today at Blackhawk was all about Elmers! Along with Chatterbox,  he has made the most strides from where he was at Day 1 up until now– that I have witnessed since joining F3 over a year ago.

You crushed it today Elmers…and motivated everyone to keep improving.

We had a group of Gazelles today–Gerber, Bottlecap, Dasher— along with Chicken, Elmers, and YHC,

Great job to all!

Special shoutout to our brother Chicken who had a rough week as he had to deal with a catastrophic event at work— We all know, if anyone is able to handle this type of thing with grace and respect, it is Chicken.

Then Chicken to us out–reminding us how precious life is,,,,and how the support of your brothers in crucial.

Kudos to the Floater Newbs

Every AO has their regulars and that is needed…but its always great to see guys posting at places they haven’t ever posted or it has been awhile since they last posted…..so KUDOS to Judge Smails, Lambeau, and Ghosted. Not to mention, you all came ready to work!

The Thang: (Gotta keep this BB short today—–here I go)

Pretty typical workout–Gave DICCS–did a warmup mosey—some stretching and we were off. Did some running to the Baptist Church and started with each pax  Planking and doing Merkins off the Plank—-then Squats—-then we ran to the Lutheran Church and did 15 squats and back to the Baptist Church for 15 merkins—rinse and repeat 3 times. Ran to the Swimming Pool Parking lot for 3 rounds of Starfish abwork and finished up with a give it all you got on KJH.

Moleskine:

Pax came ready to work today….

This happened: Ice9 dry-heaved at the end. (I think  Zins weighted vest he borrowed help with that)

Just a few shoutouts: Zinfandel wearing the weighted vest getting ready for the Murph! Outstanding! Judge Smails and Ghosted practically sprinting together up KJH…..keep coming to Floater.

Lots of funny conversations and one liners from the typical crew—-thats what makes it worthwhile. Love the comraderie of F3….thanks guys!

Announcements :

Murph is Monday—If you have any contacts around town that can help donate food, drinks, anything else to the Murph—contact Chicken Little

Dasher introduced an SOB event (Similar to WTF) which will be held at the end of August called the Crane Relay—more details to come from Dasher as he receives them from SOB…..

069 made a great point of reminding pax to continue to wear reflective gear and headlamps

Zin mentioned F3 Dads on June 5th—starts at 9am for a fun workout at Briarcrest-Swimming afterwards.

Also on June 5th at noon is the Beer Run in E Charlotte (Plaza Midwood) Hit 6 or 7 breweries….Definitely just a mosey pace for the running…..will be a great time.

June 19th—Blooddrive!

 

 

Swarm before the WTF

Wolverine on Q….modification of typical Swarm workout because of WTF the next day.

These Pax had a fever for more “Rifle Carry”

Its Spring Break! The kids are ready to go have fun……So this BB will be Short and Sweet.

The Thang

Quick version—-We started with some intense merkins, air squats..and rifle carrys etc……..moved on to partnering up for  150 Curls, Overhead Presses, Chest presses, Squats …while the other partner–you guessed it Rifle Carries….Our upper body was toast. We moved on to some more exercises and Centerfold said “Sugar Daddy if we do more rifle carries I will shoot you with the rifle”…that was the “nice” version…….so guess how I ended the workout????????

Moleskinny

With only 6 pax it was a great time to let loose and have some fun–and get a tough workout in…. Mumblechatter is one of the great things I really enjoy about F3…today the Pax were funny, working hard and having great fellowship! Thanks to Centerfold, Brutus, Elmers, Mayhem, and Chastain for the laughs! and getting the weekend off to a great start. Awesome effort today by everyone!

Prayers:

Mayhem-possible company switch—interview’s today

Good health for Centerfold’s Mom…..

Continued fellowship today at Stacks with Centerfold and Mayhem—-great guys!

Muscle by Masonry

Its Chiseled——time to break out the Cooooooupons.

One nice thing about F3 Waxhaw is the variety of workouts. Yesterday , I was at Waxhaw Express (all running) So, I was more than happy to be able to Q at Chiseled today and work on the muscle of our colletive pax—- and they delivered…… Hardworkers in the crowd today!

Warmup (after Diccs of course)

Instructed the pax there would be lifting today—so the opening mosey would be long and slow to get loose—and lots of stretching focusing on the lower back.  The above 40 crowd definitely approved with the groans –thanks Schneider and gang…. Breadbowl and Swamp are probably still confused with the positive groaning that sounded x-rated

The Thang

Time to work–

  • Rifle carry coupon to the side of Mt. Chiseled
  • Find a parking spot line —plank left to the next line 10 merkins, plank right to the next line 8 merkins, back left 6 merkins, back right 4 merkins, back left 2 merkins— That is a chest killer
  • Get back on your line and rifle carry coupon to the other curb– do 10 air squats (to give the arms a rest) then rifle carry again back to original curb –10 air squats….rinse and repeat 3 times.
  • PARTNER UP—- P1 lifts while P2 runs
  • 150 per exercise: Curls, Overhead Presses, Bench Presses, Squats—-
  • Grab a curb–do 10 incline merkins—run across to the other curb and do 10 incline merkins –repeat 3 times.
  • Rifle carry to the front of MT Chiseled–partner up again. Time for “hills”….each pax runs up and back. switch with partner—- 5 times.
  • Time to finish up—-plank on your coupon and hold plank while we go around the circle and do 100 merkins–hold plank until its your turn to complete a merkin
  • Rifle Carry coupon back to COT and thats a wrap.

The Glue (Neighborhood Watch explores Walnut Creek)

Great morning of  camaraderie….When I joined F3 last July I watched a 90 second video of Dredd explaining in brief terms the concept of F3… He described the “2nd F” as the “Glue”. (Fellowship- Consistent Male Friendship)

Today, I really saw that concept in action. This was my first time attending NW…. I have read how it is a great way to get to know your “brothers” better and have meaningful dialogue.  All of that is TRUE…plus just a good time!

It was fun learning a little about each person there….the hour flew by…amd really you just skimmed the surface….The fellowship is great…the needling is fun….laughs mixed in with a little serious conversation.

I will keep this short and say I truly enjoyed today…I highly recommend it….This is is a great format. I look forward to doing it again and if you havent tried NW yet….give it a shot!  F2 is real.

Is that actual Sweat?

With the warmer temperature today, shirts were actually soaked again! Puddles of sweat were noticed on the pavement! It was like an old friend visiting again. Hope these warm temperatures last for awhile.,,,, Dancing Bear aka Wet T shirt contest– you were missed today.

DICCS- Roger that—and we are off.

Warmup

A slow mosey past Rudy’s shed and circle up for some stretching,  exercises, and banter. The quick wit of the Pax is one of my most favorite things about F3….. Funny mumblechatter today….off to a great start.

The Thang

Decided on not too much running today….so let’s do a bit at the start to get it out of the way.

  • Run around the roundabouts 3 times doing 5 Burpees at the top circle and 10 Merkins/10 Big Bois at the bottom circle
  • To piggyback off the March Madness theme had Recalc lead us in Basketball slides to the stadium parking lot…and yes—his form was predictably flawless. Great job buddy.
  • Pick a line in the stadium parling lot—get in Plank position —plank right to the next line and complete 10 merkins–plank left to your starting line and do 8 merkins–plank right to the line again do 6 merkins—-you get the drill. We did 2 sets to get the uppper body torched and the sweat is flowing now.
  • Partner up and one pax runs to the end of the parking lot and back while the other pax exercises–100 Big Boys, 100 Bobby Hurley’s, and 100 merkins.
  • Individually do 10 Mike Tysons –run to the end of lot again do 8 Mike Tysons—keep going in this  same pattern

Time to head back to COT—- great effort men!
