Our Core Principles are: – Our workouts are:
Are free of charge.
Are open to all men.
Are held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold.
Are led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion.
End with a Circle of Trust.
We didn’t do a warm-up because we just wanted to get to the work of embracing the suck!! The beatdown was with Cinderblocks and Suicides. We would begin with a starting repetition number and double the reps at each of the 4 lines. Example: Start with 2 Cinder-curls, then 4 at the first line, 8 at the second, 16 at the third cone, and 32 at the forth cone, then carry the cinderblock to the start (while maintaining social distancing). The exercises were:
Start # Double Count at Each Cone
4 Staggerd Squat 8 16 32 64
2 Cinder Curls 4 8 16 32
1 Man Maker 2 4 8 16
Suicide

Nobody got to the end but a couple made it through the thrusters. Awesome effort by the whole PAX!!
We ended in the Circle of Trust. Did the Counterama / Namerama. Popeyes was the 6. He mentioned how the Mile High Clan gets him to the beatdown and what F3 means to him. Popeyes has been a fixture at the Gauntlet for as long as I can remember, always bringing it and leading by example!! We ended in prayer. I just wanted to thank the PAX for keeping the Gauntlet going as one of the Black Swamps premiere locations!! Always is an honor to lead the HIMs of F3!!!
