Moleskin:

Guys, I appreciate all of you posting on a cold morning, but I had to say, “Thank You, Lord, for giving us Sunshine.” I want to give a shout-out to Minion’s buddy and FNG (Mustang Sally). You killed it out there today! … Also I continue to be impressed with everyone’s growth with F3. We are all here for each other, and we continue to lift each other up. I didn’t hear a lot of mumble chatter today, and I take it everyone was working hard and was gassed. … Well, when we went to the South lot I did have to ask the nice young lady to move her car before I had 18 pax pick up her car and move it for her!!! I did practice my spoken grammar with the Lady since my written grammar is not the best — or so I am told by the youngsters. I do know now that I am a Cunning Linguist! We needed to add the Monkey Humpers on Broadway thanks to HHH’s comment in the Preblast about soap grabbers and Monkey Humpers … LOL, what a gesture. That Lady hasn’t called the police … yet.

Thanks again for letting me lead you all again!!!

Awesome work men! Shout out to Tank for his monthly “tankless” boot camp! Tclaps to the early runners (and for Peyton to come out just for the early run) and to all who completed each of the bear crawl segments. I was glad to see so many continue to attempt, and equally glad to see those who modify choose “something hard” to replace it with, rather than just taking it as a break. That’s how you grow, that’s how you get stronger. Don’t take the easy way out. We allow modifying and doing what you can… but make sure you are doing what you CAN and NOT what you WANT. We can be our own worst enemy, giving ourselves limits far too low for ourselves, and stifling our own growth. This is in F3, in our communities, in our families, and in our lives. We are called to a higher standard, a higher purpose… don’t stand in your own way. Do what you are called to do… not just what you want to do.

Until next time…
Mr. Incredible.

BACKBLAST — 1/19/2021, The Hub — AMRAP to the Sounds of Silence

18 pax made it out for consecutive Hub posts, all despite 19 degrees of chill in the air. After the success of the Robbie Miller WOD Saturday, I saw another opportunity to Q and implement my take on a pre-designed WOD, this one from the lunatic who runs Heavy Drop Training and just started designing suggested “ruck club workouts.” The least I could do was deliver a backblast on the day of the workout. Here’s who was there putting in work.

PAX: Hunger Pains, PT, Fight Club, Campbells, Scarecrow, Atticus, Thunder, Lights Out, Mr. Incredible, Bozo, PacRat, Optimus, Taxman, Bob Villa, Al Gore, HHH, Mufasa, Editor (QIC). 

Pre-Runners: Mufasa, HHH, Mr. Incredible.

Post-WOD Rucker: Editor (Tribe Pain and atonement)

First. I apologize for being a few minutes late to the Q and apologize to everyone, especially Mr. Incredible who took over the warm-up, and all the newer pax who deserve better. I joke about late starts enough, but it’s a disgusting, unprofessional, shameful habit.

Anyway, as the preblast said, “It’s YOU VS. YOU.” As Campbells said, “I’d rather it be Me vs. Me than Me vs. The Mick.” This one was a butt-kicker if you allowed it to be, and I hope you did. Curtis Ps suck. I know I’m feeling it already, and that’s a good sign when the soreness creeps up in the evening. If you were focused on form or using more weight, even better, but I thought this was a great challenge to dig within and get work all over your body without going to the ground too often after the first circuit. I applaud everyone for posting. The number of pax almost eclipsed the start time temperature, which has to be rare. This was intended to save my voice for work (I apologize if I wasn’t great at explaining anything) but keep you all moving and challenging yourself. The great epiphany last year was that the Q’s fitness level doesn’t have to be on par with The Mick for the pax to get a great beatdown out of it. Ladders are one trick; AMRAP (as many reps/rounds as possible) circuits are another. The Heavy Drop guy threw this out there for free to ruck club leaders to accomplish this month, and I saw some of the Houston AOs used it last week. After the time bombs at Patmos Monday, I remembered I had this timer-fueled opportunity for us all. The buzzwords in eLearning are synchronous (every working on the same thing at the same time) and asynchronous (everyone on their own time with a similar task), and I brought that to this WOD. The original recipe was 10 minutes, 15 minutes and 10, but I scaled it a little and hope everyone got what they needed out of it with a mix of some jogging. Nice to see the fellas, even if I couldn’t really tell who was there until the COT. Great work by the newer pax like PT and Hunger Pains. I was standing near you and saw you pushing through it. Great work! If you can keep posting in this weather, it will get better, as will you. I encourage more people to Q and lead and hit that February schedule. Thank you all once again for the positive feedback and the opportunity to lead this tremendous group of men in the gloom.
