Did someone say suicides?

by | Apr 5, 2017 | Houston, The General

17 PAX paid homage at The General for an animal-style beatdown by suicide. Have there ever been so many bears in Houston? Someone better call animal control…

    • Discussed the potential of starting a Monday workout at The General – possibly this coming Monday 4/10/17. More to come from Comz Q.
  • T’Claps to Cruiser for taking us out today.

#NakedManMoleskin

  • Animal Style again today, boys. YHC thinks The General lends itself to suicides, and what better way to mix up a suicide than with some animal influence? Bonus is an effective beatdown.
    • For those keeping track at home, we ran (or crawled) ~1.0 mi and burned ~420 calories while doing 110 merkins, 100 sit-ups and 28 burpees! Aye! #SolidSmoke
  • T’Claps to Cruiser for wearing his 20 lb rucksack for nearly the entire workout again. Making the rest of us look bad! #OldManStrong

    • @F3_250. A reminder today to challenge the PAX (#YouAgainstYou) to make a personal commitment to working out 250 times in 2017. F3 workouts count, as well as any 30+ minutes exercise sessioin you complete (yes, even with your M if you can last that long!?!). Time for YOU to step up for your own @F3_250 #accountability
      • Check the F3 Houston Google Sheet to track your progress.
      • Tweet your weekly workout count to @F3_250 with the hashtag #F3TwoFiddy every Saturday to log on a national level.
  • GrowRuck 03 – New Orleans June 9-11 combines F3 Grow School with a GoRuck Tough. Details to follow. Have no doubt, this will be a transformative event for the PAX that do it, as well as for F3 Houston and F3 Texas. Get excited!
  • F3 COMZ. Because we are only working out together 3-4 hours a week, communication between the Pax is a key way to build our Fellowship as a group. #CommunicationIsKey There are multiple ways to stay in touch: Band (download the app), Twitter, Facebook, F3Nation.com
  • F3 Swag. T-shirt orders for The Hogg are closed, but place your orders on the Wait List to build us up for another order. Also, check out 2017’s limited time National Race Jersey at: https://f3.mudgear.com/collections/2017-official-f3-race-jersey-pre-order. Git some!

#LexiconOlogy

  • Word of the Day (WOD): CLUSTERQ: An abomination of a Q that elevates the self-confidence of all other PAX in attendance, thereby convincing PAX on the fence that they couldn’t possibly do worse than THAT guy, leading to an influx in Q signups.

Thank you for allowing me to bring the pain!
