Moleskin:
You could feel the Friday”ness” in the air. Mumble-chatter was abound, birds were chirping, the clanging of kettlebells on the concrete/asphalt as Pax unloaded them out of their vehicles was heard…and no one wanting to start on time. YHC somehow lured the unruly group into the parking deck…eventually. The Force seemed to have an arsenal of kettlebells in his “Forcemobile, so no one had to go without. Frogger was the center of attention and conversation. Although we never discussed the important topics like Tesla’s or duvets, we did discuss the relevance of calf vs glute muscles and which is more important (and relevant animal examples). Frogger says glutes always win-hands down. There is a definite theme here…duvets…glutes…Speaking of glutes, thank goodness Happy Gilmore asked for clarification when YHC said “squeeze those glutes” (while doing the weighted glute bridge), YHC should’ve provided further clarification as to whether he meant our own glutes or another Pax’s glutes (that was a close call folks). Baller was a beast as always. YHC was waiting for him to rip off his shirt in protest of more pain, but he maintained his composure. Omaha was itching to check pulses after attending the CPR event last night. Peart Plus was in full effect today and got it done. Amen’s hair growth continues to be remarkable. Out Cold has been crushing it lately at workouts now that he’s been named. POS, is a stud. What can’t that guy do? The Colonel hit his head over the clearance bar doing SSH. Dude must have been a basketball center as he is kinda tall. Detox has youth on his side as he had no trouble with the workout today.. Welcome to FNG, Sheldon Snyder, who shall be named at his next post. He did great today! Hot Wax is a proud MQ and YHC thanks him for lending him the keys today.
COT/Namarama/ Announcements/Prayer:
-Unspokens among F3
-Caregiving issues among many Pax with their parents and deteriorating health conditions
-Thanks to those Pax who attended CPR refresher last night led by Gnarly Goat
Always great to start the day with my F3 brothers.
Until next time…

Ohhhhh – his name was Sheldon!?!? I must have called him Shelly 4 times. Dang. It’s impossible to hear anything (except Frogger) in the deck.
Sheldon moved here about 3 weeks ago from Texas. His best friend there told him about F3 (although his BFF doesn’t do F3), so he looked it up and found us this AM. That’s pretty great and t-claps to the website!
Old Cold has literally been to every workout I’ve been to since I met him last Friday at Cauldron – plus he’s been to some I have not. He’s all in! Even asked me to add him to the BB from Cauldron last week now that he’s registered. Hey Jorel – please add me to The Wilderness BB you Q’ed on July 18, 2013. Preciate it.
