F3 Knoxville

Heavy Day Battle for the Ghost Flag at the Equalizer

THE SCENE: Gloomy, but not too humid
F3 WELCOME & DISCLAIMER: Done and done 
WARM-O-RAMA:

Basic Blindside-y warmup things: SSH, LBAC each way, This, That, tempo squats
THA-THANG:
Sometimes things change. Because it was a heavy day, the Q was expecting a lower number in attendance. What he forgot was that the Ghost Flag was in attendance… so we had visitors.

Quick Mosey to Picnic Table near the Tennis Courts and partner up. Each group will draw a card from the deck, multiply the number of the card by 10 (all face cards are “10” and Aces are “15). Each group is in charge of completing that number of reps of each exercise represented by card suit. Jokers are automatically 25 squats with either the 40# or 60# sandbag on shoulders.

  • Spades: Lunges and Imperial Squat Walkers
  • Clubs: Merkins and 2 count Shoulder Taps
  • Diamonds: BBS and American Hammers
  • Hearts: Flutter Kicks and Hello Dollys

After all the cards were taken, each group were asked to “give up” their highest, lowest, and one other card of their choosing back to the pile.

Once time was called, all of the Shamrock & Asylum PM combined their cards into piles and played a game of WAR. After one round, Shamrock ended with 23 cards and Asylum PM ended with 6. Each group did that # of burpees. Equalizer guys joined in to help.

Asylum PM grabbed the Ghost Flag having 5 guys at the workout!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

You can make a difference

You can achieve a lot through either through volunteering or by starting something completely new, it just needs to begin with a spark and a little effort. There are likely others that support your cause in one way or another.  Dream big, especially when it comes to helping others. Once you get the momentum and more involved, it’s hard to stop to it. In our F3 circle we can see what can result from an idea or a desire to make a difference.

Hardship Hill – Tank’s idea has grown into a large event making a huge difference with OEW

Saturday volunteer day at Lakeshore

Don’t be afraid to step up and volunteer or to initiate an event (small or large) you would be surprised in what you can achieve!

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Here is what ChatGPT4 has to say about Consistency. (not as good as what I said)

“Consistency refers to the quality of being uniform, stable, or constant in something over time. In various contexts, consistency can have different meanings:

  1. Behavior or habits: Consistency in behavior or habits means maintaining regular patterns, routines, or actions. For example, consistent exercise or consistent work performance demonstrate stability and reliability.
  2. Thoughts and beliefs: Consistency in thoughts and beliefs refers to having a coherent and logical set of ideas or values that do not frequently change or contradict each other.
  3. Quality or performance: Consistency in quality or performance means maintaining a specific standard or level of output over time, without significant fluctuations or variations. For instance, a product’s consistent quality ensures that customers receive the same experience every time they use it.

In general, consistency is often considered a desirable trait, as it demonstrates reliability, dependability, and predictability. It can build trust, enhance relationships, and contribute to personal and professional success.”
