For the last 5 minutes, we held a mini-meet and PAX practiced everything they learned and worked from the neutral position to a fall.

Through the grapevine, thanks to my preblast, I heard there was some trepidation about a wrestling themed workout. I think everyone who posted would agree that while strenuous, it was not particularly dangerous. One of my favorite things about F3 is the each Q has the possibility of something new  and different. It’s the one small adventure I get during a pretty ho-hum office and family life. That said, to all the PAX and Qs try NEW stuff.

Marlin – This big guy is now posting regularly. You’ve earned your SOB Varsity Jacket.
Tuck – Today, he was the quickest guy I faced. His first shot was a perfect double leg. Boom!
When Mighty Might and Loogie squared off, the Earth shook. Both had little experience, but took to the movements quickly.
Mario – We all joke that he’s strong because he’s young. That’s only half-true. He’s strong because he posts constantly and never dogs it. He’s at 100%, 100% of the time.
Fat Camp is Pebble’s house and he let me know when he hoisted me several feet off the ground for a strong take-down.
Haggis came out, but he’s sick. Not wanting to spread his germs, he planked for about an hour. His core is steel.
