  • 1 year anniversary – from Jose10k

    Warm-up: ssh, grass grabbers, arm circles, windmills all reps of 15 in honor of my daughter turning 15 on Tuesday. The thang: moseyed to the courthouse for some dora. 100 merkins, 200 squats, 300 lbcs partner work. While one partner was performing each exercise, the second partner climbed the walkway rails hand over hand. Once finished, moseyed back to the parking garage entrance, then sprint up the inclines up to the top. Once at the top, Moby busted out the chain. We gathered in a line and each man pulled the chain across the parking garage. Last 5 minutes, busted out some mary. Leg raises, crunchy frogs, etc.. COT and Shooter prayed us out. BBQ busted out some birthday brownies along with some party poppers. Thanks to his wife for the tasty treats.
    Thanks for letting me lead, thanks for celebrating 1 year at the A1C, and thanks for the support for creating the AO. Y’all push me to be better.

  • Not Draggin’ Around – from Akbar

    YHC arrived at the gloom right on time after hitting the snooze this morning too many times. The AO was vacant, with one unidentified truck. Out walked Bypass and his FNG, Waterpik ran up as usual, and Hogsbreath was the last to make it 5. T Claps for the EH Bypass, in your second week nonetheless. Still burning from Saturday, there would be minimal shoulder work today.

    Warm up SSH, IW, Arm Circles (F/B), Self-Love x 10

    Short Mosey to the playground for Pull-Ups and Swing Tucks: 10, 8, 6 each OYO

    Thang : Mosey to the Lakefront wall. As we started, a man in his car rolled down the window and said “stop draggin’ arse!” That’s really the definition of a Mosey sir, so we did Mosey and stopped for some exercises

    Block 1 10 Apolo Ohno’s (2 is 1), 25 Merkins

    Block 2 10 Apolo Ohno, 25 Merkins, 50 Lunge walk (1-1)

    Bypass’s friend Danny was on his way from San Diego to Fort Pendleton in NC. A Marine, he was a beast. He must have done 50 pullups to our 10 at the playground. He loves to Scuba Dive, so Deep Six was appropriate for his F3 name. Bypass and Deep Six said they’d be at Grandmas tomorrow. Great mumblechatter as always on the mosey to the lakefront and back.

  • A Few Card Games – from Hogs Breath

    YHC showed up 5 mins prior and was greeted by the sight of a few pax milling about. We even had a FNG waiting for us!!

    The warm up

    We began with 10 IC mountain man poopers. How YHC found that warm up was by searching through the Exicon and picking funny names. Using the same formula, YHC went to the exicon on my phone began scrolling and had my M say “stop” and that became this mornings workout. So what we we ended up with;

    Boat / Canoe – 60sec
    Burp and Merk – 5 oyo
    Crab Jacks – 10 ic

    The Thang

    An Obama the length of the basketball court.

    Originally a coupon workout was planned, however YHC was told the coupons had been taken, again. At this point the city is probably moving them, if YHC had read the back last from 2 weeks prior YHC would have realized and could have brought some coupons….

    [If anyone wants we were going to preform a workout modified from an iron pax workout:
    10 man makers
    20 overhead press
    30 kettlebell swings
    40 curls
    50 incline merkins]

    So YHC was a great Q and adapted on the fly. Even thought YHC had previous said minimal running and mostly upper body, he had to modify! A Deck O’ Death was pulled out and various games were played:

    War: highest card was the exercise and the low number was added up. I.e. 9 of spades [low slow squats] and 7 of hearts so all pax performed 16 low slow squats.

    After everyone had a turn we moseyed to the Woodlake elementary school and back.
    Then we drew a poker hand and performed all exercises of the highest poker hand. A mosey back to the school.
    Then we drew cards and lined them up highest to lowest, and performed all exercises, and then drew a second round but went lowest to highest.
    At this it was time to wrap up.

    We welcomed, and named, Bypass, a new addition to our Northshore Pax! Named because he had heart surgery last April, he was EH’d by one of our Uptowner pax. Hopefully he’ll return out to us again!

    Ended with a COT with plenty of prayers for upcoming surgeries, travels, and allowing the Great Q to be leaders in our communities as we carry forward.

  • 1776 Beatdown – from Hogs Breath

    Pulling in some history theme; The best college lecture I ever heard was “the American Revelation in one hour” so YHC tried to build a beatdown around the American revolution in 45 mins!

    We began much like the colonists with the “7 year war” so 7 burpee’s OYO.

    The colonists were left in a time of confusion and taxation, so YHC ‘purposely’ lead a confusing IC warmup.
    14 overhead presses
    13ish toe kicks
    20ish overhead presses

    And the colonists truly felt they were taking up the rear….. so monkey humpers!!!

    After this the colonists began to revolt, and this culminated with the Boston Massacre and Battle of Lexington and Concorde. So we “marched” [mosey] to get our coupons.
    The Declaration of Independence was signed during this time. The digits 1776 add up to “21” so we did 21 OYO merkins (also we America does 21 gun salutes).

    The colonists realized they were without Artillery so they raided the fort at Ticonderoga and took the British cannons carrying these back across a frozen New York; so we grabbed our Coupons and moseyed back to the A1C parking garage. The colonists had to recruit and train, so we stopped for some overhead presses and Urkins along the way.
    The British attempted to stem the Americans and separate New England with a two-pronged attack, so we counted off in 2’s and one group would backward run the perimeter, while the other group overhead press.
    Rinse and repeat with goblet squats and lunges walks.
    France got pulled in after the Battle of Saratoga, the American revolution truly became a “World War” especially with fighting over the Caribbean islands. So since everyone was getting their butt kicked, we did two rings of fire with monkey humpers!!
    To represent the three main armies (British, French, and American) we did a round of three, with a perimeter run, Urkins, and LBC’s.
    Then came a few years of stalemates, so we held a few planks.
    After that we mosey’d to return the coupons. Similar to Gen Washington marching to meet Gen Lafayette and the French Fleet to moving in for the Battle of the Capes and Battle of Yorktown.
    It has been said that Washington when he met up with Lafayette fell to his knees and cried out “my God thank you!!” So we fell to our knees doing 5 IC lunges.
    It took about 3 weeks for the message to reach England (that the British surrendered at Yorktown,) where the Tory party declared “we are finished…..” with this YHC declared the beatdown was over and “that Pax is how we became a nation!”

    Ended with COT, announcements of Gnarly Nutria, Fia/F3 mixer; and prayers for Akbar as his family traverses the American West, our nation, and ourselves to lead other men!

  • Hold it now, hit it – from Akbar

    5 strong today with the Wacker of all Bushes and Steve in the mix. Noticing that everyone brought gloves without a reminder, YHC felt like laying off the blocks today for a traditional mosey to the lakefront and back. Listening to the Beastie Boys song Hold it Now, Hit It! last week, a thought emerged and became a beatdown.

    Warm Up: IW, Cherry Pickers, Self-Love, Grass Grabbers, Arm Circles (f/b), SSH, Torso Twist x 10 to 20

    The Mumblechatter started early, slightly delaying the start of the beatdown, and kept up all the way past COT. Pixie Stix’s lacrosse, Grover’s graduation dinner and work, weekend plans, trips, Bush’s tower of doom, are firemen are stronger than policemen? Billy’s departure from Reigers (will he actually post one day?); Sandbar’s trek across the lake from Nola to the Marsh last week (should we go knock on the FNG’s door? Its’ only 3 houses down) Baby Yoda making Bush chase balls, and then him. Pickleball is getting serious – how about taking all the courts one Friday night? YHC’s anniversary spend the night party with mama, most of us need more time weekly with our beloved wives. On and on, one of many things to look forward to every Monday at the Marsh.

    Time to get to work:

    The Thang

    Mosey down to the lakefront wall stopping along the way. Start with a 10 count hold mid exercise, then return to the top for ICx10 each. Example: Hold Al Gore for 10 count, then return to the top of the exercise for Squats x10IC. Exercises are below.

    Mosey to the playground

    1. Chin up, Supine Pull up

    Mosey to the swings for plank tucks on the swing x10 IC no hold

    Mosey to the lakefront, stopping along the way for:

    2. Stone Mountain, Shoulder Taps
    3. Squats, Monkey Humpers
    4. Dirkin, Freak Nasty
    5. Irkin, Freak Nasty
    6. Stone Mountain, Shoulder Taps
    7. Squats, Monkey Humpers

    There’s inherent danger when passing counts off because you know some jackwater will mess it up. In this case, you guessed it, Bushwacker brought out his painfully slow count in an Irish/Scottish voice during Monkey Humpers. More pain, more gain though.

    Mary: Merkins with 10s hold, Hello Dolly x10 IC low, mid, high, LMC x20, finish with 100’s (Hello Hummingbird)

    Count, Name, and YHC prayed us out.

    Announcements: WW2 trek sign up by July 4th; Gnarly Nutria July 21st

    Thanks for letting me lead, always enjoy a Monday morning at the Marsh.

    SYITG – Akbar

  • Casino Royale – from Fletch

    No need to gamble with your fitness, just show up and do the work. Warmup of grass grabbers, windmills, imperial walkers, arm circles, forward and backwards, seal claps and overhead claps. The workout of choice was a simple deck of cards where diamonds =squats, hearts=merkins, spades = ssh, clubs= sit-ups. We worked our way through the deck once with a mosey around the parking deck with each joker pulled. We then moseyed around again to finish the deck and started over with each PAX pulling a card at random. Cowbell had luck with him and pulled a joker so we did burpees. We worked our way half through the deck till time was up. Nameorama and Water Pick prayed us out. Everyone walks away a winner after an F3 Beatdown. Thanks gentlemen

  • Concrete Mount Suribachi – from Hogs Breath

    YHC felt some coupon inspiration could take place at the A1C!

    Warm up
    SSH IC x 20
    Seal jacks x12
    Arm circles x10

    Mosey to our coupons, much to the surprise of waterpick, cowbell, and Russo. “What we had coupons here!?!?!?” (For reference they are in a parking lot at the intersection of 26th ave and N Jefferson Ave, behind some ornamental bushes)

    After carrying our coupons to the the corner of the parking garage, we lunge walked to the entrance, of said parking garage. At the entrance all pax beautifully performed 25 overhead presses. Then backwards walk, with coupons, up the parking ramp. At the first landing, we performed 25 derkins (seeing the trend yet?) on to an overhead carry through the garage, followed by 25 side step overs. Then YHC could not remember the name of the exercise he planned out….so cowbell jumped in with a “murder bunny” suggestion up the parking garage incline! For the record the actual exercise I was looking for is a “bear and block” however, both cause pain so this completes the goal!! At the top we completed 25 curls. And a lunge walk back to the shovel flag, thus we completed a full compliment of Mount Suribachi. BUT what goes up, must come down, So we shoulder walked the coupons down to the base floor entrance. There we performed 10 tricep extensions and began farmers walks back to return the coupons.

    One more time we mosey to the shovel flag and began some Mary, of Captain Thor! One big boy sit up, then four American hammers; then increasing by two and eight respectively. We only made it through six rounds before we had to call time!
    Cowbell prayed us out with thoughts for a safe weekend and allowing us to come together.

  • Hello Humidity – from Shooter

    Northshore has had some great weather the last few weeks with small mild fronts passing down mild 70s with little to no humidity.. All that has changed as 4 PAX posted at the Marsh for a heavy humid gloom. We didn’t need much to get the perspiration flowing but coupons sure do accelerate it.. Arriving to the AO with Steve and Akbar awaiting YHC started to stretch and then soon Waterpik arrived by foot which has become his regular means of transport as of late. T👏🏼 to him for logging the lagniappe as we like to say in Southeast LA.. Much respect for the discipline needed to awake extra early to log the extra Waterpik…

    Warmup
    10IC Hillbilly’s, self love, Grass grabbers, Imperial walkers, Arm circles and Cherry pickers.

    PAX retrieved our coupons, which by the way has surpassed the longest stay at the park in recent memory, as the other stacks have fallen victim to maybe a fire pit or possibly someone’s chain wall for a fence.. No one really knows, but I am guessing the F3 logo applied by Grover and Akbar has simply given this stack the awareness needed to the removers of the past that these blocks are here for purpose and not just something to litter up the park.. Carried to the corner for instructions. Simply 3 rounds consisting of 15 reps and 4 exercises to start adding another on each round. R1 Overhead press, Kettle swings, Squat thrusters and Chest press. Moseyed the square around. R2 R/R adding in Curls and the loop this time included carrying the coupon. R3 R/R adding in 8 count body builders which thinking back as I write this YHC short changed the plank Jack. Maybe it’s the remembrance of Hammers Saturday beatdown that haunted my internals to stop this motion… Anyways, finished with another Mosey around picked up our coupons to return them to their resting place.. Assembled back at center court for some Mary and Jane…
    LBCs 20IC
    Jane Fonda’s left leg 20 IC toe to knee 15IC and pulses 10IC
    LBCs 20IC
    R/R right leg
    LBCs 20IC to close..

    Akbar closed us in prayer with remembrance of those 77 years ago 6/6/1944..
    Also praying for Uncle Jimmy and family as they go through a difficult time!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

    Appreciate you men following my lead and until the next Gloom 👍🏼👊🏼✌🏼!!

  • Q Source – Grover’s Graduation – from Akbar

    It was a rainy, gloomy morn with what looked like 5-6 PAX for the beatdown. But out of the
    gloom came more Pax to help celebrate Grovers graduation. After Pixie Stix woke up from his nap, the count was 16 HIM. Great to have Hawgcycle and Carpool join us as well.

    QIC was ready with the biggest Wiki ever, laminated for the rain, and reading glasses to boot. We went through the first half of the Q-Source, including Foundations, Q1, and Q2 – with beatdowns in between readings.

    —————————————————————————————————-
    FULL CONTENT

    FOUNDATIONAL PRINCIPLES
    Disruption: Disturbance of the Status Quo. A leader is a person who can influence people to do things that they would not have done otherwise. Leaders influence movement to advantage which causes disruption

    Language: The Lexicon of Virtuous Leadership. Leadership is evolutionary, not revolutionary. Effective groups have a unique language

    Group: A voluntary combination of two or more people. Man is by nature a Group-forming animal. 3 group types that must be led to advantage are Community, Organization, and Team. Dynamic teams are the heart of healthy communities and effective organizations

    In the Leadership Development Process (LDP), great leaders develop new leaders. There are 4 steps: schooling, apprenticeship, opportunity, and failure

    Preparedness: Get ready for the expected while being ready for the unexpected. The process of preparedness is deliberate and sequential. 4 quadrants: Get right, live right, lead right, and leave right

    Q1: GET RIGHT is the Pursuit of Proper Alignment. There are 3 components – Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. FITNESS is a man’s right relationship with himself through physical fitness. Fitness is inward seeking. A man must get right before he can do anything else. To be able to help others, a man must first help himself.

    DRP – Daily Red Pill – the daily commitment to accelerate Fitness, Fellowship, and Faith. A man needs help to get right – to turn from amateur to pro.
    To do that, we must master 3 things

    King – Daily discipline of training the physical body. Fitness begins with the body and is maintained for reasons outside of ourselves. Fitness is best accelerated by running with faster men.

    Queen – Daily discipline over what is put into the Body. Man does not stay fit through exercise alone. Weight control requires accountability. You cannot out King your Queen

    Jester – The temptation of the flesh that hinders acceleration. Every man has his own personal Jester. The jester is a master liar – the jester and Virtue can coexist. Preparedness keeps the Jester at bay

    FELLOWSHIP – a man’s healthy relationship with the people in his Concentrica, or closest circle. Fellowship is the outward seeking act of relational rhythm – and takes as much discipline and attention as it does to maintain physical fitness – if not more.

    M – The transformational relationship between a man and his wife. The M is the most important relationship. Accelerating the M requires both skill and love

    Shorties – the Sacrificial relationship between a man and his kids. A man gives everything he has for his kids. The IMPACT that a man has on his kids cannot be underestimated

    Shield Lock – the horizontal relationship between men. Men Hunt best in a pack because we need someone to watch our six. Men recognize the advantage of mutual defense and lock shields together into a defensive wall to repel the invader. The shield lock must come together periodically to be effective.

    Whetstone – The vertical relationship between Men. It’s man’s natural desire to pass on what we have learned to a younger man. A man must be sharpened like a knife blade. The HIM acts as the Stone to the younger man’s Blade – providing the hard surface against which he becomes sharper. The Whetstone is necessary for both the blade and the stone to get right.

    Mammon – The sustaining relationship between a man and His work. Work is a virtue – Mammon is a relationship, not a pursuit. Mammon is a man’s least important relationship.

    FAITH is a man’s right relationship with his Creator. A man cannot live, lead, or leave right unless this spiritual relationship is accelerating along with Fitness and Fellowship. This is done in 3 ways:

    Prayer – The daily discipline of talking with the creator to build faith. A virtuous leader must have Faith. Prayer provides answers and is the antidote to worry.

    Study – Faith is a practice that requires study to accelerate. The acceleration of Faith requires a belief system. Study puts a leaders belief system to the test. If you stop studying, you decelerate.

    Meeting – Public manifestation of Faith. Faith is best accelerated in the company of others. To be competent in your Faith requires Skill, which results from practice. To leave a legacy, a man must be competent in the practice of his belief system – turning head knowledge into heart knowledge

    Q2 LIVE RIGHT – THE DEDICATION TO PURPOSEFULNESS. To live right, a man must have an ultimate purpose in mind, which requires self-sacrifice & helps a man to stay right

    Impact – Forcible contact to strong effect. Some movement – action taken in furtherance of Purpose – is required by at least 1 person. The proximity we create results in changes in the lives of the people that we meet. Sad Clown’s need help to Get Right, this can only be done in context of a relationship

    Influence – igniting a strong desire for movement. Persuasion is the initiation of first movement, using influence to convince a man to want to move. Movement must be voluntary and is influenced through word and deed.

    Missionality – Service in the High Impact Zone. The course of action taken to achieve an articulated purpose, which is made up of the tasks we undertake to bring our purpose to fruition. The comfort zone is a cultural myth that encourages men to be in-Effective. A HIM’s mission marks the boundaries of his high impact zone – his place of highest productivity, where he is the most effective. And preparedness helps resist straying from his mission

    Positive Habit Transfer – ingraining advantageous tendencies in others. 3 types of habits – negative, neutral, positive. A Positive habit is advantageous to the individual or others. We should help others minimize neutral habits and discontinue negative habits.

    Accountability – submission to a standard through enforcement and consequence. The HIM seeks accountability because his life is not his own. Accountability shines the light of Hope into a man’s blind spots. An effective shield lock provides mutual accountability.

    Correction – zealously advocating for shared virtue. The HIM preaches what he practices. Correction requires courage and love.

    Targeting – initiating Missionality in others. Missionality is an essential virtue. Targeting moves a man beyond himself. A man’s life is a single thing comprised of many components that must all work together in rhythm.

  • Broken promises – from Shooter

    With hopes of a surprise post from the reinvigorated Nacho Libre YHC quickly realized the morning would be absent with his Broken promise.. However, I will give credit as he has posted twice this week in hopes of claiming those Saints tickets from Chewy.. Q would soon rely on the regulars instead as I pulled into the parking lot to the sight of no one at first. Then Hogsbreath rolls up while Waterpik comes moseying in through the darkness and then a surprise post from Cowbell with his boat in tow… Dedication right there 👊🏼 much respect Cowbell as you could have easily skipped but your ever determination to always Accelerate is most impressive..

    PAX gets through some warmup all 10IC Grass grabbers, Windmills, Scorpion kicks, Superman’s, Slow Squats and SSH..
    Phat Johnson joins the PAX and we start our Mosey through Mandeville. Waterpik graciously modified his pace to hang with YHC as Phat Johnson and Cowbell bolted out. Hogs Breath rucked through the streets as we all returned. Finished up with Core 20IC LBCs, alternating Left and Right cross crunch, Flutter kicks, Hello Dollies, Rosalitas and Mountain climbers..

    Thanks for posting and following my lead..

    T👏🏼 to Hogs Breath for closing us in 🙏🏼 and sharing about his post in OH over the past week and how the PAX demonstrated sheild locking at the AO. Sounds like a great way to allow us men to share what can be challenging us for the week or month and relying on other men within the PAX for support.. I know I am grateful for the wonderful friendships and brethren I have met through the years with F3.. So I want to encourage the men reading this backblast to reach out to those men around their circles and motivate them to get out and post.. As Yankee likes to say in the emails the best way to headlock is to signup and Q then it allows them to feel comfortable knowing you will be out there..

    Till the next Gloom 👊🏼👍🏼✌🏼!!!
