Thursdays are typically a heavy day of PAX who stay for the coffee and come for the beatdown.

Today was not one of those days. Why? YHC openly wonders if some PAX forgot about the 3rd princple of F3: All workouts are held outdoors: rain, shine, heat or cold.

Nevertheless, 5 PAX stepped into the Gloom. And this time it was Gates who brought the coffee.

Our Thang was what YHC calls the “Anvil Jr.” Typically PAX will perform the Anvil as a measurement of physical self improvement. More repetitions performed over the same period of time points us to this improvement. But today, we worked together as a team. It slowed us down, it rested us, we focused on form and unity.

The Anvil is pasted below where we added a wall set. The workout was performed as a ladder (top-to-bottom, bottom-to-top)

The Anvil:

7 rounds / 30 minute timecap of the following movements

5 Burpees

10 Merkins

15 LBCs

20 Lunges

25 Mountain Climbers (single count)

30 second plank

35 American Hammers

40 SSH

45 BBS

50 Squats

500 meter run

Wall sit

CoT:

  • YHC and PAX discussed the need for rest: physical, mental, and spiritual. It is needed for all people
  • Gates shared a need to “rest in God’s provision” in terms of his company’s and his career future
  • This discussion took us out

  • At a time when the coffee host was in question, Gates came through and delivered coffee to the PAX for the first time. Thanks Gates! Who will be our next first time coffee delivery barista?
