Two Steps Forward

Pax partnered up and completed the following routine.

Pax run 2 light poles forward (Pax 1 carries coupon)

Run back a light pole

Complete 20 Reps — Bent Over Rows

Pass the Coupon

Rinse and Repeat for Lap.

Rinse and Repeat for 2 Laps. Lap 2 — 15 Squats. Lap 3 — 10 Curls

Pax moseyed to side parking lot. Lined up side by side at a station. Stations were the following exercises…
Travolta’s w/Coupon
Squats
Curls
Lawnmowers
Clean and Press
Deadlift
After Pax complete their 10 Travoltas, he did a Bernie Sanders to come and sprinted back. Stations rotated. We completed one rotation, and this left us with 1 minute of flutter kicks led by The Count.

COT

Sometimes we take 2 steps forward only to take a step back. Going backward is generally not productive, but we must never fall back to where we started. Even if we falter just a little, we must make sure we only go back a single step, dust ourselves off, and take two more steps forward. Keep grinding (thanks Geek Squad) and “Embrace the Suck”

Today is an important day in American History as the Battle of Gettysburg officially ended. This battle represents the changing tides that kept our union together. That being said, we must honor our country and the service men and women as often as possible. Christ died to give us freedom from sin, but there are also men and women every day fighting and dying to keep us in a free, united country. Therefore, if you’re reading this then you are doubly blessed! God Bless the USA

The Thang

The emotion and joy in which YHC feels writing this Backblast is simply indescribable.  We launched a new AO exactly one day before my one year anniversary with F3…16 men showed up and showed out to help launch this AO with some driving 40-45 minutes to get there.  Plenty of our guys here in F3 Chatt understand and carry out true commitment!

As The Huey launches, and our banner location (Hill City) changes hands from a proven “pick up the slack” amazing leader to another progressive, strong HIM, I see F3 moving in the direction it should. We don’t leave men under lamp posts alone and we continually advance while leaving no men behind and absolutely none where we found them.

You have to own it to buy into it.  Yes, that seems backward to some, but is it really?  If we do not take ownership of things that we call important, than we never really buy into it properly.

The Thang

Title of exercises or routine
Pax grabbed a partner.  Pax 1 completed Colt 45 while Pax 2 help plank.  Flap Jack. Rinse and Repeat.
Mosey a lap around the park.  Pax completed descending squats from 10 at each light pole. 55  total squats.
In a small tribute to Iwo Jima, YHC had the Pax Block Bear Crawl from the Startex, past The Huey, to the Giant American Flag.  Let’s be honest, if those men can raise that flag, in the sand, in the coast driven wind, under heavy gunfire, then we can do Block Bear Crawls for 75 yards!!Once we made it to the destination we partnered up.  Pax 1 held a coupon in the front raise position while Pax 2 completed 20 WWII Sit-Ups.  FlapJack. Rinse and Repeat.
Mosey back to typical Startex. Pax completed Elevens with suicides (thanks Ohms for the idea). Run to halfway. Back. Complete 10 shoulder presses. Run to the other end. Back to halfway. Back to opposite end. Complete 1 Don’t Cross Dolly (again, thanks Ohms for the idea).
Pax finished just in time.  YHC had a quick moleskin. Bus duty calls again! Hey, it is the LAST week; because, you all know now, us teachers do not work in the summertime.

Moleskin

YHC called an early workout due to bus duty, and in a stroke of irony, YHC was late due to unforeseen circumstances.  As should happen and expected in F3, plenty of mumblechatter arose about the tardiness of the Q. The moral of is simply this: we all get to an exhaustion point, Smartsacks are required for every Pax, BUT the current leaders do not have the luxury of a nice, solid Smartsack in the absence of leadership or waning of the current leadership.  If you feel led to step up, then do it!
