Workout – Yacht or Nyacht, Vol 3
No FNG’s so right into Mission and Principles: F3 – Fitness, Fellowship, Faith
The Mission of F3 is to plant, grow, and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership
The core principles of F3 are that it must:
Be free of charge
Be open to all men
Be held outdoors, rain or shine, heat or cold
Be led by men who participate in the workout in a rotating fashion, with no training or certification necessary.
End with a Circle of Trust
Credo: Leave no man behind but leave no man where you find him.
Disclaimer: You versus you. Modify or stop an exercise if you need to. The most important thing is that nobody gets hurt.
Intro: Yacht rock is the smooth, impeccably produced jazz- and soul-inflected rock music produced largely between 1977-1984 by a select group of studio musicians and vocalists, songwriters, and producers, and the project bands they drifted in and out of. It can be characterized as smooth and melodic, and typically combines elements of jazz, rhythm and blues, and rock. You’ll hear very little acoustic guitar but a lot of Fender Rhodes electric piano. Lyrics don’t get in the way of the song’s usually high musicality (some of the same session players perform on many yacht rock tunes.) The lyrics may speak about fools. The songs are light and bubbly, yet oddly complex and intellectual.
Music during elevens: What A Fool Believes, This is It, Peg, Ride Like The Wind, I Keep Forgettin’ (We’re Not In Love Anymore)
Elevens
1 = Merkins
10 = Jungle Boi Squats
—————-
1 = Am Hammers (2=1)
10 = Hillbillies
Divide PAX into three teams, a song is played one team guesses Yacht or Nyacht. Based on the answer, all PAX perform set exercises and reps. Yacht or Nyacht is based on a scale of 100. Songs above 50 are Yacht and songs below 50 are Nyacht.
Rep rationale: # of reps back to the baseline of 50. Example guess that Africa is NOT Yacht Rock: 93-50 = 43 of something. Guess that Africa IS Yacht Rock 100-93 = 7 reps of something.

Name o Rama
The Six – Longhorn – EH’d by YHC through CedarCreek Groups. Glad he found this group. Has helped him in all areas of life, importantly Faith. Got his name because he was wearing a Texas sweatshirt at his first beatdown.
Announcements: Convergence next weekent. Fortress is closed. CSAUP coming in July.
BOM w/prayer: Prayers for Spaulding’s family as his wife is traveling this weekend. Prayers of praise as Binford’s wife is expecting 2.0 #4! Prayers that while our lives might not always be smooth sailing we do have God to keep our boats from capsizing.
Spreadsheets from the Gloom: Honor to lead the PAX through a fun workout. Thank you to the other 19 PAX in attendance. Guys seemed to enjoy it! This honestly was the toughest group of songs and the PAX did a great job. Thanks to Hannibal for suggesting a better scoring system for next time.
Playlist: See above.
