#Tclaps (Triple Claps) to Mayhem and Bench in getting this going! Mayhem asked YHC (Your Humble Correspondent) to Q (lead) one of the launch dates. Introductory tip, ALWAYS so “YES” when that question is asked! Knew we had some PAX (attendees) that have been posting with us from Farmville, so wanted to make sure they would come. Also, know a few others that live in Farmville, wanted to make sure they came as well. Last week was the original date, but due to snowy icy roads caused us to make the decision to delay. Weather forecast looked to be decent, but the rain yesterday added some sogginess to the grass. Following the Cola (F3 Columbia Roll Out Plan), Mayhem gave a brief history and information lesson on F3! YHC gave the disclaimer that it was gonna be tough and to head for your cars now! Because we are men, no one did, but we did head to the pavement for…

#Tclaps to Farmville’s own Bad Boy for demonstrating most of the exercises while YHC explained the Cadence count). He was also an FNG when YHC queued some months ago. Pointed out that good form and low reps was the way to get a good workout!

Plank-o-rama for the Six

Ski Hops side to side – 30 seconds
20 World War I Sit-ups IC
Ski Hops front to back – 30 seconds
20 World War II Sit-ups IC

(these will be a great benefit to Strokes who is soon going on a Ski Trip or to prepare us for more possible snow in our area)

Alternate Bear Crawl and Lunge at the trees, mosey to the back to finish with the six (back of pack)

Strokes, ENC’s #ShovelFlag Master Maker, performed a presentation of the Farmville #ShovelFlag! “It’s a Shovel and a Flag. More than that, we will honor those that fought on the fields of battle for our Freedome to enjoy Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith!” Strokes was a late HC (Hard Commit) after YHC headlocked him to perform the presentation! He did a really awesome job, usually doesn’t speak much unless we are running, then it’s all #JokeswithStrokes!

We then asked for any FNG’s that were Veterans, Bad Boy was the only Farmville Veteran! He will lead us back to the #ShovelFlag area after…

Peoples Chair (squat hold against the wall) Count-o-rama
Balls-to-the-Wall (have to be there) Count-o-rama

During the above exercise our count went down to 25, due to a veteran PAX that hadn’t posted in some time! He decided he should perform a demonstration of Spilling the Merlot (splashing, vomiting, etc…)!

Four Corners 5 Minute AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible):
5 Burpees
5 Alternating Lunges (both legs)
5 Merkins
5 Squats

Had Dewey perform a demonstration of a Burpee, since he’d been gone for so long, wasn’t sure if he remembered. Actually, we remembered the last time he posted, he forgot his #ShovelFlag! When he returned he had to do 50 Burpees to get it back! Good to have you back Dewey, only made you do one burpee this time (besides the ones above during Four Corners)!

Four Corners 5 Minute AMRAP:
10 Flutter Kicks
10 LBC’s
10 Peter Parkers
10 Freddie Mercuries

With about 1 minute left, we held Plank!

Count-o-rama
Name-o-rama
SmashBanna, oops Rafiki is in Grand Strand this weekend…

BOM

YHC explained the time of BOM (Ball of Men), coming together to bring requests to the #SkyQ (whatever Faith you maybe)!

Pray for this launch that F3 helps make men better Fathers, Husbands, Community Leaders, etc.

Strokes M with some back issues.

Silverback’s coworker, Robin Avery, dealing with cancer.

Hot Pursuit mentioned the F3 Bible Study that he is starting on Tuesday, follow Twitter and watch for the BB (BackBlast)!

YHC closed us in prayer.

COT

Time of Announcements (Circle of Trust), share upcoming events, etc…

Coffeeteria, time of Fellowship, at Bojangles! Good time to get to know brothers away from the grind of a #beatdown! We had 14 at least show today @ Bojangles, good turnout!

Join us on Twitter @F3Farmville and @F3ENC! There is a currently an F3 Farmville Group on Twitter which is cool to headlock guys then pull them away from Dramabook to Twitter to stay connected to all things F3Nation!

Check out Freed to Lead (https://f3.mudgear.com/products/freed-to-lead-book-signed-copy) on our Gear Store’s website, book written by F3 founders Dredd and OBT!

Check out our website ( www.f3enc.com), it’s awesome and infomative!

Moleskin

Awesome to have such a great turnout! Continue to grow this by spreading the word, posting on Social Media, etc! Ask questions to any current PAX and engage others that have posted before! Was great to hear new guys saying who was gonna come next week, who lived close, who they might invite, etc! The only thing we ask is that you #GIA (Give It Away)! F3 will change your lives in so many ways (weight loss, gains of strength, better father/husband/leader, more faithful, etc).

Much RESPECT to all the 50+ men that made it out today! Seemed like half of the PAX…

Yukon will be here next week with the Farmville #ShovelFlag, will you? Who are you telling F3 about this week? Who’s coming with you next week?
