  • Making Sure The Men Don’t Get Soft

    It was a calm but breezy morning as 6 beauty’s emerged with the rising sun for a Beaver Milestone/Easter Weekend Beatdown. It really wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be, If the others agree than either were improving or I went too easy on the men.

  • Tabata Beatdown!

    3 LumberYard HIM’s started the mid week workout with a nice Tabata Beatdown! We mosey over to the LumberYard clubhouse for a full body freestyle stretch to get ready for what was about to go down. We are lucky enough to store coupons onsite in a secret hiding spot (approved by LumberYard management) which is a workout in itself getting them back over to the clubhouse with overhead carry’s traveling a good distance. That’s just how we roll at the LumberYard.

    The Thang: Tabata – with a towel!

    3 Circuits – each repeated twice 4 minutes per circuit 1 minute rounds with 10 second rest after each round and 60 second rest between circuits! Let’s go!

    Body weight reverse lunges: 1 minute

    Cinder block dead lift: 1 minute

    Wall sits : 1 minute

    60 second rest and do it again!!

    Circuit 2:

    Towel bicep curls with the coupon: 1 minute

    Towel high rows with the coupon: 1 minute

    Towel tricep extension overhead with the coupon: 1 minute

    Towel bent over row with coupon: 1 minute

    Finished up strong – traveled back to the secret hiding spot with our coupons to store them away and then mosey back to the parking lot.

    It was an honor to lead the workout today with support from Beaver and Choo Choo who dominated as usual. It was a great way to start the mid week day in preparations for what is going to be a beast of a workout come Saturday for Beaver’s 100th Q!

    Beaver and Choo Choo shared some nice parenting advice, the PAX was feeling good, Wildwood took us out in prayer, the Forecast looks great for the rest of the week, get outside and get moving! Let’s get it!

  • [Loco Motion] Yukon Cornelius – Virgin No More

    I want to preface this backblast by expressing my appreciation for the guys at The Lumberyard and the platform that is F3. As Freed to Lead describes it, F3 is solving a problem in my life that I didn’t know I had. I’m extremely thankful for the opportunity to lead these men in a beatdown this morning, something I wouldn’t have thought remotely possible four months ago.

    Now that I think about it, it’s a little weird to title this “Yukon Lost His Virginity” and then immediately launch into a heartfelt message about the men in my life, so let’s move on.
