Introduction: YHCs Escobar and Yogi pulled into the parking lot with a gaggle of #BAMFing smurphers (18) to be exact who completed a grueling 43:46 smurph with featured guest Mufasa who admits he no longer has an excuse to not MURPH as this AO is only 90 seconds from casa de Gibbons. Due to a long smurph YHCs were gassed and running to begin this AO launch workout.
We’d be remise if we didn’t recognize that this train was off the rails early but knowing the PAX were charged up and ready for this launch we quickly had to pull it together to kick this “thang” off. And boys, it was an honor stepping into the light of that MFing (#missionforging) parking lot from the gloom of the smurph finish to see 55 high impact men waiting for this beat down to begin. It was a honor and Yogi and I are forever grateful. To be honest, when Tater Tot texted YHC to expect a big crowd, we thought 20-30 HIM but to see 55 was insane, and let’s be honest, YHC about stained his drawers trying to quickly redraw the game plan for todays beat down. Lesson learned. We were warned.
Nervously YHC stepped into the circle at 5:30 clumsily worked his way through the opening smiling ear to ear and juiced up with Q-drenaline. YHC expressed gratitude to the Pax who joined our home turf (Millard aka Mojo) AO. Thank them for the investment in time, shared what F3 stood for, disclaimer, and shared what this AO missed. From the gloom the pax reminded YHCs that we had not 1, not 2, but 3 FNGs. We did a quick first name intro and the Pax integrated these unsuspecting victims, I mean him into the fold of the Pax. Yogi shared the 5 core principals, and we advised the pax to suit up, grab their coupons, and follow Yogi into the park.
Note: the work out was modified in real time to account for the number of pax and several without coupons.
Warm-a-Rama: The Pax Moseyed from the parking lot, across the MFing bridge to the south side soccer fields where we circled for
• 15 Side Straddle Hops IC
• 15 Tappy Taps IC
• 10 Forward and Reverse Sun Gods IC
Pre-Thang: The Pax then moseyed to MFing Southwest Hill where we completed a quick 2 man – tune up grinder which included
• Group 1: Amrap (Switch between sets)
o Air Squats
o Burpees
o LBCs
o Heels to Heaven
• Group 2: Hill (2x)
o Run
o Bernie Sanders
o Frog Hops Up
o Bear Crawl
Thang: YHC called an end to the Pre-Thang and advised the Pax to mosey back to the soccer field, circle up, for a tabata style coupon “thang” a new format that YHC wanted to experiment with. In retrospect YHC should not tinker with simple as YHC is a simple man but I must digress. Perhaps a little tweaking and tabata coupon workouts could be a hit… Tater Tot did advise that “creativity” was at an all time high or not. Noted.
With that said the Pax did the following workout however YHC benevolently cut down on the MFing Blockees to 5 sets vs 8 due to the mumble chatter by the peanut gallery. You’re welcome (haha)!
• AMRAP – 20 Secs on, 10 Secs off, 10 Sec Set up – 8 Sets for 4 Minutes
o Coupon Dumb-bell Swings: American Style (Ukrainians)
o Coupon Burpees – Blockees
o Curls for the Girls and Tricep Extensions (Alternating Each Set)
YHC Escobar and Yogi called Escobar and the PAX moseyed back to the shovel flags for some Mary.
Mary:
o Skidz – 15 Dying Cockroaches
o Ketchup – 6 inches
o Pax completed never ending 55 American Hammers Rancid Style

For my COT, I had a lot of things I wanted to talk about, and had a hard time zeroing in on 1 particular story or topic. But all the thoughts I had end with the same message: F3 has had a life changing effect on me. I started this journey about a year ago. I’ve accelerated my fitness, I’ve made new friends and cemented some existing friendships. Your COT’s and daily talks have made me take stock in my life, and what is truly important. I’ve become a better person in my personal and professional life.
I want to thank you all for coming out today to mission forge. Our goal for this site is to expand the footprint of F3 and to “forge” high impact men. If this site can bring F3 to one guy, and give him the life changing effect F3 has had on me, well, that’s the measure of success.
FNG: Welcome (3) FNGs: Cersei, Danza, and Cowboy
