Throughout the workout YHC told the story of Charles Martel (the hammer) who unified and led the Frank’s as they repelled the invasion of Western Europe by Islamic raiders. October 11, 732 Charles met them outside Poitiers and saved Western civilization. The importance of this battle cannot be overstated and YHC believes all free men would do well to honor the memory of Charles.

10 Satans Hill regulars showed up for a very un-original Florence Q. When YHC is Q’ing Satans Hill, you can bet lifting Rocks and running up a hill is involved. Here’s the rundown :

Run back to Ole Glory to witness the monstrosity of Florence’s party foul….Ole Glory had fallen on the ground so we did 5 penalty burpees. YHC would have punished himself with more burpees but we were already over time.

COT :

Prayers for Pearl as he gets the snip on Monday

Nancy lent his copy of F3 Freed to Lead book to another PAX. Thank you for sharing that brother.

YHC’s M was pissed at him for posting this morning with the 3 month old 2.0 not having a great night of sleep. But YHC was able to sneak in some time to rock the baby back to sleep before leaving for the Gloom.

For newer PAX interested in Q’ing, ask an older PAX to get you hooked up with the Q Sheet and Big Data. Google F3 Exicon for exercise ideas.

NMMS :

YHC apologizes again for Ole Glory falling over. Thought she was dug deep into that mulchy dirt but apparently not. But on a positive note, it’s awesome to see how many new PAX are coming out to satans hill. Great AO

numberama, namearma, prayer and finish. Welcome to Yukon Cornelius ‘ younger brother Blitzen. The boys held up in spite of YHC’s efforts.

Nine WARRIORS came out in what couldn’t be a more perfect morning to join YHC in just his second Q, including an evacuee from NOLA that has posted over 270 times this year in the deep south. Shout out to Hokie! After a few vets admitted to taking the day off due to college football kickoff, YHC thought it best to step back up and give another run to lead the PAX. After a few months in the gloom and feeling better about the process, we put on a team based beatdown honoring our brothers and sisters that gave the ultimate sacrifice to allow us to do the things we do.

The THANG :

COP – SSH, DQ, Arm Circles, Cherry Pickers, Standing stretch Right/Center/Left, LBC, Hello Dolly/Flutter Kicks, Sitting stretch R/L/C

Mosey to top of the hill. Plan was to involve every brother in leadership. No brothers left behind. Pause at every corner giving each brother the chance to call out their favorite exercise. Along the way, option to do one burpee, or three squats at every mailbox on the right. 50 exercises at every corner – Copperhead Squats, Merkins, Chainsaw (this was Hokies attempt at making light of what was to come for him back home), Carolina DD, Money Humpers, 4 count Mountain Climbers. Run the trail back to parking lot and grab a coupon.

13’s – In honor of the brave 13 brothers and sisters that lost their lives protecting our freedoms last week, we did a workout for them. Partner up. Runner halfway up the hill does 13 Merkins, 13 WW2s, 13 Box Cutters (soon audibled to FKs), while partner does curls first set, tri extensions second set, shoulder press third set. FINISH!

COT – Prayers of gratitude for F3 brotherhood and what it means to each of us. Prayers for Hokie and safe travels home, with a speedy recovery of his property. Prayers for all of NOLA and everyone in the NE that have been impacted by Ida. Prayers for every one of us to provide leadership and inspiration to those in need.

Thank you PAX for joining me for a much needed morning with my brothers in the gloom. I appreciate each and everyone of you.
