Just simple conversation about the meaning of “The Thang.”
Tha Thang
Carry railroad ties around the perimeter of Gridlock. We dumped the ties to do hill runs, ‘mericans and air squats. It was fun.

Mosey to The Hill: down and up, do 5 burpees, (5) rounds then Bernie Sanders (5) rounds. This was fun.
Mosey to the football field. 30 yard distance was set up. We partnered up, one partner lunges down and back while the other partner runs down does a burpee then runs back and does a burpee. Burpee increase each time. We worked up to 10.
Then we did a quick round of flutter kicks, Hello Dolly, Leg raise and little baby crunches for time.

A Disclaimer was given, and then we did a Count and Name-o-Rama.
4 Railroad Ties awaited us in the back of Sous Vide’s Truck. The PAX split into 4 even groups, by size as best as possible.
Grab a Tie and start walking.
Ruck 0.5 Miles to the hill by the new pond, drop the tie.
Run down the hill, back up, do 5 burpees. 5 Times.
Pick up the tie, Ruck 0.33 Miles and drop the tie.
100 Squats
Pick up the tie, Ruck 0.43 Miles and drop the tie.
100 BBS
Pick up the tie, Ruck 0.1 Miles and drop the tie.
Mosey back to AO and recover.
We will tackle exercises and movements that have origin in former Communist places in the world. We will defeat them, together. Come out and join us for suffering and fellowship that can only be found in the company of other men.
Our ride on the Pain Train was one of success, suffering and sweat. HanzandFranz was the conductor and he worked to bring variety, constant movement and encouragement.
Q: HanzandFranz
PAX: 24 including one FNG. We circled up, welcomed the group and offered up the safety brief and disclaimer.
Count-O-Rama: 24
Warm-A-Rama: The Pax did a active dynamic warm up. We stretched and move some items that hadn’t been moved in a while.
Pain Train:
1st Stop: steps at the shelter. This was no picnic as we did 30 step ups on each leg.
2nd Stop: straight leg sit ups. We stopped at the first open area we came to, circled up, got on our backs and did old skool sit ups that our granddad’s may have done.
3rd Stop: step overs: Thank you Parks and Rec for placing a guardrail so strategically in our path. We did 3 minutes of step overs and could feel the burn and hear the fatigue setting in.
4th Stop: hand release Mericans. We stopped in an open field, dropped down on the ground and started pushing them out. It was great to hear the men sound off with vigor regardless of their fatigue levels.
5th Stop: Basketball Court for line drills. We sprinted to half court then backpedaled, then sprinted full court followed by a backpedal. We did this 5 times and were all fairly reassured that our sprints and backpedals had seen better days.
6th Stop: Hill Bear crawls. I apologize for not researching my F3 lingo to properly describe a bear crawl but nonetheless we got after it. We climbed a respectable hill and it looked like the Pax was being taxed the proper amount.
7th Stop: Body weight squats and bench dips. How many uses can one group have for picnic tables that don’t involve tasty food? I believe that we are just scratching the surface. We paired up and did 100 dips and 100 body weight squats between the pair. From here we moseied over to our Flag to complete the day.

We will take a ride on the Pain Train this Saturday at 7a. HanzandFranz will be your conductor. Be ready to mosey around the scenic trail of Shillito Park, a Central KY gem. WOO WOO!!!!
Great effort from Flexington this Saturday. We worked hard, encouraged each other and continued to forge our bond.

PAX: 14 including one FNG. We circled up, welcomed the group and offered up the safety brief and disclaimer.
Count-O-Rama: 14
Warm-A-Rama: The Pax learned about the value and power of cadence. We discussed it historical nature as it is a call to work and action of men. We performed our workout with enthusiasm and vigor doing the following exercises: 15 Abe Vigoda – IC, 15 Side Straddle Hops – IC, 15 Grass Grabbers – IC, 15 Imperial Walkers – IC.
Thang 1: We ran as a group to the hill were things went “LEFT” very quickly. We paired up and did a super set with Bernie Sanders and Al Gore. 7 rounds and did we ever feel the “BERN!!”
Thang 2: We gambled by going to the football field for a little Black Jack. We paired “Mericans” and LBCs. We moved up with Mericans and moved down with LBCs. Due to time restraints, we did as much as possible in 12 minutes.
Thang 3: We then laddered up to 10 with Bobby Hurley. We used the 15 yard high shuffle as our active recovery between sets.
Name-A-Rama: Dugger, Road Trip, Barney Fife, Stapler, Disconnect, Kisses, Father Teresa, Boy Blue, Zebra, Ooze, Sous Vide, Lincoln Log, HanzandFranz, FNG

Men!! It is a great day to be f3! I am pumped to Q this weekend. We will work hard, embrace suffering and become the type of men that are world changers. Spread the work, bring a friend and be ready to encourage each other. It will be the best 7am of your week. Make sure that you start your hydration now as the heat and humidity can be a bear. Let’s do work. HanzandFranz
