Introduction

Opportunity presented itself on Friday afternoon as there was no Q for the Ridge.  YHC figured this was a great opportunity to expand on a workout that YHC had the opportunity o attend last year.  Just needed some guinea pigs to test it out on.  Bring on the guinea pigs!!!!!!!

Warm-O-Rama

Warm up consisted of SSHs, Arm Circles, Good Mornings, Windmills, Michael Phelps, and Calf Stretches

The Thang

Buy-In – 10 Blockies and 10 Burpees then run short parking lot loop.  Proceed to complete 5 Thrusters and 5 Burpees then run short parking lot loop again.  Pickup the 6

Upon completion YHC told the PAX we would be doing various movements with resistance bands.  PAX were to bring resistance bands with them.

Explained the movements at each location and then had PAX perform movement.  No specific rep count.  Basically determined amount of time on each movement by time as well as how YHC felt and the grunts YHC heard as we progressed.

Circle of Trust

Juanita passed on all the great things going on in F3 Plainfield.  Thanks brother.  We took a moment of silence just to reflect

Naked Man Moleskin

YHC wasn’t sure how many PAX would HC to be a guinea pig!  I was pleasantly surprised by the HC’s.  I purposely started the beatdown off with a Buy-In to get in the head of the PAX at the beginning.   Needless to say it wasn’t as bad as some may have initially thought.   Great seeing Thin Mint back out in the gloom!!!!  Appreciate the feedback from the PAX and I plan to incorporate more resistance bands in future Q’s

YHC message to the PAX in attendance piggybacked off of Jellystone’s COT message at the Early Boot Camp at the Colosseum this morning.  The message was about Perception and Perspective.  YHC message was focused on giving this F3 gift away.  YHC mentioned hearing the other day about a PAX that hadn’t been out in over a year but decided to come back out in the gloom.  That decision was partially based on this PAX having been given a copy of Q-Source over a year ago and he took the time to read it and upon completion realized the need to get back into F3 (He double-tapped today)  None of us know what a guy is going through, looking for or when he will decide F3 is right for him.  It may be today, tomorrow, a week from now, a month from now, a year or more from now.  Don’t try and decide for someone else when its right for them.  Continue to give this gift away.  Plant the seed (conversation, business card, social media post, community involvement, etc), nudge them a little now and then, and then let that man decide.  F3 is right for every man whenever they decide and once they decide they will never forget (even if they stop coming out for a period of time)
