OUR FOUNDATION

THE THREE Fs OF F3

Fitness is the magnet, Fellowship is the glue, and Faith is the purpose.

1. Fitness

Workouts take place outdoors in all weather conditions—rain, shine, heat, or snow. Led in rotation by participants, workouts adapt to all fitness levels.

2. Fellowship

Strong bonds formed in the Gloom bleed over into 2nd F lunches, coffee socials, and genuine male friendship that combats isolation.

3. Faith

Defined simply as belief in something bigger than yourself. We empower men to give back and lead in their families, workplaces, and local communities.

Journey to Ross Farms

Q: midriff
PAX: 9
1 FNG
PAX Present:
David Bouy wildturkey Roulette Old Dirty Bastard Sticks Adobe +3 more

WARMUP: Boy did we warmup, waiting for the plethora of FNG's that Old Bay promised. This dude is on a roll, winning over hearts and minds to join a bunch of randos in the gloom. Keep it up brother! Our first latecomer was Sticks, following up his first post at Bagpipe earlier this week. Not far behind him was Sticks, representing the ol' Crimson Tide. A full warmup and quick jog around the circle later, our FNG arrived! THE THANG: Dips and stepups on the park benches as we watch Old Bay's second FNG drive around the wrong parking lot, before deciding to leave the workout. Until next time. Make our way to the Goodwill trailers, stopping regularly for squats and merkins. Explore the cell tower access trail, then make our way to the YMCA baseball field parking lot for squat thrusters, more running and some rockin' bear crawls. Mosey down to the ball fields for more stepups/dips on the benches along with more squats. FNG Dylan and Schrute showed off some elite burst speed on the run home as we had two lively sprints. MARY: We politely tended to her during the workout. COT: Show up for each other. Be present, available and willing to ask the hard question - "How am I doing today?" and answer it with honesty. I've been struggling the last two weeks, physically with sickness and emotionally/spiritually on the family front. Thanks Roulette for the encouragement and for reaching out, reminding me that I'm not alone. YHC took us out and went to Starbucks in Stonecrest for some righteous coffeeteria with Roulette and Ol’ Dirty Bastard

Steelers 24 - Browns 27

Q: Orange Whip
PAX: 7
PAX Present:
Orange Whip (Q)ChickenWing puddin_pop ductwork hopper Broken Arrow +1 more

WARMUP: bunch of jerks in a circle. I’ll call them circle jerks THE THANG: 1. Man maker ladder + situps 2. Partner track work 3. Partner exercises + stairs 4. Wall work 5. Team abs MARY: Glad I didn’t bring my 2.0 to this NC-17 rated workout. Puddin Pop has been taking “completely hard” pisses at 2am sitting down and he uses the “pole vault” method by shoving it under the lid until things die down. Forget about the germs you’re getting on the top of your d*ck, aren’t you pissing on the back of your knees? Fortunately we just stopped asking questions. - 2 years since Kevlar closed down if you are studying up on your F3 Trivia. Joust going strong, which was the ultimate goal. Speaking of Ultimate, huge crew out today. - No more Grandmother to climb (for now) which was my plan so we just did other CSAUP stuff. - Brownies won so me and Focker were happy and he tried to mount me when he got there. - Puddin Pop let out a blast that had a full prelude, verse and chorus. You’ve never heard ass music quite so dynamic. Focker tried to join the chorus and just let out a fog of stale waste leftover from his anniversary dinner. - Chicken wing is still fast. Quick fact: When I first met him years ago he told me he used to play for the Bills and I thought that was true for at least 5 years. ANNOUNCEMENTS: Focker hates soccer COT: me
