WARM-UP:
We got right to business — rucked up and down the amphitheater stairs. Then we circled up and reaffirmed our purpose by reciting the F3 Core Principles and the Mission Statement. That’s how you set the tone, men.

Then came the loosening of the limbs:
• Imperial Walkers (IC)
• Toy Soldiers (IC)
• Copperhead Squats (IC)
• Sun Gods (OYO)
• Michael Phelps (OYO)

Muscles warm. Minds focused. Grit locked in. Time to move.

RUCK TO THE THANG:
We grabbed those glorious sandbags and rucked over to Woodstock Elementary. Once there, we hit a quarter-mile of squiggly-track glory, then posted up at the pavilion.

⸻

THE THANG #1: “LEGS OF WAR”
Lower-body strength & endurance gauntlet
12-minute EMOM AMRAP (Every Minute on the Minute)
Cycle 3x through the following, with your ruck:
1. Ruck Squats
2. Ruck Step-ups (bench or curb)
3. Ruck Calf Raises (curb or step)
4. Weighted Dips

Clock ran. Legs burned. Excuses died.

⸻

THE THANG #2: “THE PAIN TRAIN”
This is where men are separated from boys.
Complete 2 rounds, as fast as possible, with form sharper than your mother-in-law’s tongue:
• 25 Ruck-up Flutter Kicks (4-count)
• 20 Overhead Presses
• 15 Skull Crushers
• 10 Man Makers

We picked up the six. No man left behind. No man left unchanged.

⸻

THE SUFFERING CONTINUED…
Rucked over to the secret stash — the Water Ball of Doom. The Ball of Brutality. The Testicle of Torture. Call it what you want, it made us earn every step back to the flag.

Every PAX got a turn carrying that cursed orb. Groans were heard. Laughs followed. Bonds forged through mutual suffering.

⸻

MARY:
Debatable. Were we in cadence? Possibly. Were they questionable ab exercises? Absolutely. Did anyone care? Not a chance. We finished together. That’s what matters.

⸻

MOLESKIN:
• Exile expressed disdain for YHC’s musical selections.
• PAX demonstrated an unhealthy love of making jokes about the ball.
• PAX affinity for instruments of pain continues to be concerning but respected.

⸻

COT:
We circled up and closed out strong. We don’t just train bodies — we forge men.

SYITG, MEN.
— Copper, Out.
