F3 PowderKeg Welcome & Disclaimer:
GOOD MORNING! I’m Gluten and you are posting at a FREE peer-led boot camp style work out of F3NATION. WELCOME! I’m not a professional. If you are new, none of us are liable for what happens to you TODAY. Modify as necessary. I don’t want you to get hurt on my Q. That might be a bit embarrassing to some who come to realize a 54 year-old grandfather was somehow indirectly responsible for you hurting yourself. However, we leave no man behind! I’m a Registered Dietitian… in health care foodservice at a psychiatric facility. That may give you a little method into Gluten’s madness this morning for our little warm-up. So, are you ready?
I. The “Plate 108” Warm Up SPECIAL: …think of it as a foretaste of an Eight Course Meal, of sorts! I know you’re anxious, but be patient. This is just the first course. Hope you enjoy.

We’ll grab a coupon and circle up for our second course. On your six for this next exercise, #aQuakerOriginal that somehow manages to combine Heels2Heaven with chest press with coupon of your choice.

- AO Launch Targets – collect email addresses for Pickens County Sad Clowns (any men in Pickens County who have not yet experienced F3). This will help us create a list to be used as we anticipate AO launches with a target date for this untapped region before year-end.
Prayer requests
- Gluten’s mom cancer survivor and others battling cancer,
- Duplo’s dad;
- T Bag’s M & 2.0’s;
- Harris Hospital’s Chaplain Whitfield recovering from triple bypass & aortic valve replacement now going through cardiac rehab;
- Praise for many special needs kids who recently participated in beach trip mainstreaming with the Gauntlet Youth of NewSpring. These special needs kids were shown acceptance, respect and love.
After closing out in prayer by Gluten, some 2nd F was experienced at a local coffeteria. As always, it was an honor to struggle together in the PowderKeg gloom with other F3 brothers striving to strengthen our fitness, fellowship and faith in a way that glorifies GOD! Aye!
