YHC thought he was in the scene from Field of Dreams where the cars were lined up down the road. They just kept coming. 27 men with 1 FNG sought out a Tuesday workout, and YHC couldn’t be happier they chose #Fenceline. Especially because the doom of a workout he chose for the day was sufficient for such a turnout.
Welcoming our new member #PulpFiction (John Albright – Respect) with a nice little introduction, mission statement, and version of Gilligan’s down east disclaimer…minus the “you’ll probably owe us a little money” we took off to Hamilton for a little mosey.
Once we arrived to the Sunset intersection we circled up for the W.A.R

The Thang
Dedicated to Wicked, if for no other reason than that he commented in previous weeks when seeing the highlighter green poster board in YHCs car, “Thank God we aren’t doing that workout”…anything that challenges Wicked has to be good for the other pax.
Instructions were given, rather suggestions. A long list of exercises were posted and it was “suggested” to do 1-2 sets of 2-3 exercises and take a lap around the building (distances were optional to meet the pax’s preferences) However, some pax appeared as if they were growing roots. Encourage, Encourage, Encourage!

Merkin Circle
- pax circled up and did a merkin circle counting down and up 10. While not in action, pax did a variety of planks
Core Circle
- 4 medals – variety of WWII, American Hammer, Knees to Chest, Freddie Mercuries
Burpee Circle
- 27 pax was a challenge, so YHC was feeling it and introduced 4 balls, staggered across the circle. Somehow there was a logjam and 2 balls made an exit. Unfortunately the balls were thrown to the Q who just reintroduced them.

Chips took us out with one of the best, most uplifting prayers I have heard on behalf of Pamela and his family. Thanks brother. “When He moves, He moves” Aye!
“If you build it, they will come” – a great mantra for F3, Site-Qs, AO’s and all of the #pax. We have a platform in F3 that truly invigorates male leadership. Leadership looks different for all, but together, all of those skills benefit each other in building “it” #trusttheprocess
***For 3rd F Notes*** shoot me an email and I’ll provide them – ryanldavis@me.com. Great anecdotes for heart trouble in Chapter 14 of John. #Seminar #upperroom
Aye!
