Kicking off the summer with another round of the F3 presidential fitness challenge and just about five years ago, I started this crazy F3 journey. Little did I know that this brotherhood would literally save my life and has helped out way more than just pushing me to be in better shape. Today is also a special day because it is the birthday of my oldest who turned 27.

The thang:
I explained the presidential fitness challenge to the PAX and then we did the following exercises as one minute max reps and recorded reps from PAX in between the next exercises.
Merkins
Squats
V-ups
Blockies
Bent Knee Situps
Swings
Arnolds
Curls
Overhead Press
It was communicated during the pre-blast, that I wouldn’t have any running and so I tried to stick to that. But in skipping the timed mile and the shuttle run, we did had some time to do some other work.
So we headed over to the kids playset and did pull-ups. The Pax here pushed themselves to getting some really good scores on the pullups. Maybe some of the highest average for an AO so far.
Next we went to the tables to pay homage to my daughters 27th bday. We did 27 dips. 14 one leg split squat and 13 more on the other. Then 14 erkins and 13 derkins. We repeated the dips with a 14-13 split.
Finally, we headed over to the tennis courts for the little bit of running. We did 27 overhead ball passes with an all you got. Then 26 and AYG, finally a set of 25 with a sprint down and back.
Mary: We did 27 single count LBCs and 10 dying cochroaches. (10 just because I hate and love these)
COT: Vegan Tortilla shared that his kids got into the Morehead Montessouri school he was hoping for. Treehorn said he gets calls from the principal there all the time but there was discussion on whether or not it was because his kid was in trouble. I am pretty sure he was still stretching on the sit and reach as I believe he might be the most flexible Pax in all of churham. I shared something about being a dad and how my life changed 27 years ago. I don’t feel old enough to even have a kid at that age but I also started really, really young. Anyways, she is an awesome kid who just finished her first year of law school and she continues to amaze me and while I screwed up a bunch as a young dad and even recently, fatherhood is still one of the coolest things I have ever done.
