As the clock struck 6:55 YHC started to get concerned I might be pushing the sled on my own when all of the sudden out of the darkness came an electric bike at that point I knew the party was on as 5 more cars filed into the parking lot 7:00 hit and we were off we picked up Private Ryan on the way to warm o rama and the final count of 8 was established

Warm O Rama

Mosey to Rehab Center

25 SSH IC

10 IST IC

10 Cotton Pickers

There was chatter by those who read my Wednesday BB from Kannon that this would be a copy and paste BB but the fun part about this workout is it’s different every time

 

Mosey back to the middle parking lot where we unloaded “The Sled”

The Thang

Pick their pain

The pax would take turns running across the parking lot to the sled push the sled to the other end of the parking lot turn it around and push it back up the hill and return to the group, before leaving the pax pushing the sled would pick an exercise for the group to do in his absence.

Exercises included but were not limited to

Merkins

KGBs

LBC

Walkout Merkins

Squats

Mountain Climbers

Broga

Pull ups

Walking lunges

Burpees

Freddie Merc

WW2

Low Flutters

Plank

and some others YHC can’t remember

after everyone took 2 full turns we went into a speed round pushing the sled 1 length of the parking lot

 

Mary was nonexistent as no time was left

Moleskin

There was concern by some that this would be a boring BB as I broke out the sled for Kannon on Wednesday but as I expected with this format different group of pax makes for a different workout. Unlike Kannon the Burpee card was played fairly early.  Spud looked like a All Pro lineman in the NFL as the sled barely slowed him down straight beast mode. Indy chose to torture the pax by not only walking with the sled but walking to the sled. Frostbite through everyone for a loop when he called pull-ups we are still no sure if he actually pushed the sled or just hung out and adjusted his fleece lined toe shoes.  Total Package was grinning ear to ear and even spoke about building his own sled for home use.  The best part of the workout in my opinion was watching Indy play chicken with a truck and win All in all good workout today and a good group the format made for lots of chatter.

Time to be real

As many of you know on March 1st I unexpectedly lost my job and it really threw me for a loop.  I want to thank everyone for all the prayers, words of encouragement and help.  Anyone that says it’s just a workout had not experienced the power this group of HIMs we call Concord, Kannon, MeCa, F3. As I sit here typing this the many ways we impact our community come to mind; Harrisburg and Dawghouse raising over 3000lbs of food for the Food Pantry, Shooter and others that set up service projects at Wings of Eagles, Chicken Coup and his work with Charlotte Rescue Mission, Trickdaddy who gave up a life of comfort and familiarity to do Gods work.  Sometimes we give each other a hard time and we don’t always agree or get along but the impact we make stretches farther than any of us can imagine I’m am truly blessed and humbled to be a part of this group. I encourage everyone reading this if you know someone that needs F3 think about all the good that would have gone undone if those who EHed us had sat around and waited for someone else to do it. F3 is so much more than just a workout

We are 3rd

It is always an honor to lead such a great group of guys
