The Longest DORA
This was my first time Qing The Coop. Ginsu was scheduled to Q, he had to be down range. So, Punch List asked me if i knew anyone who was free. I told him i would gladly take the Q slot. He was reluctant to commit…

The Coop 11:2019
15 PAX (The Coop consistently draws some solid numbers) gathered in one of (possibly...) our last coldish gloom in The Fort. A quick disclaimer and we were off. We got in 40 burpees to help alleviate the penalty burpees…

Keep it Simple
I had planned out the workout the prior evening, but as more and more men (+ 2 FNGs) showed up I decided to simplify the workout. Albert Einstein said "Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler. "…

Bear of a Time
The weather report was absolutely miserable, mid-30's and pouring down raining, so we were all pleasantly surprised that it was rain free for the duration of the 45-minute workout and the morning felt great because of…

Soggy Bells
7 PAX showed up for another soggy outing and I have to admit I was a little nervous to lead my 1st kettlebell workout. Sure I've been to a few, but this was my first time leading one so it was difficult estimate the…

Pantheon - A little bit of everything
6 Pax braved a possible deluge of 40% chance of rain. YHC was duped to take the Q by an unnamed #HIM that was on a mission to get YHC to post this week. Mission was successful. YHC took the bait, set the alarm and made…

CURRAHEE!

Santa's Trip 2.0
Similar to the last Santa Trip in terms of exercises and idea, however we changed from a 4 corner style workout to a run-around-stop-somewhere-and-exercise type of workout. What would you call it? Mosey to North Pole…

12 days (actually 13) to celebrate a shovel flag handoff!
Big shovel flag hand-off day so hype train was in full effect! As PAX walked up to the gathering, Bear Grylls had 80s hairband music rocking why he was making preparations for post-workout coffeeteria. YHC gave the…

A Day to Remember...Showing our respect at the Hive
December 7, 2018 41st President 2403 men lost 77 years ago I had thought about what I wanted to accomplish here all week. Did I want to stay in the comfort zone? Just get through a workout on a cold morning. I decided…

The Coop: Beat the temperature day and we did it! #25
It was a cool morning and when I say cool I mean Fonzie cool. PAX came in from all directions and we had met the temperature of 25 degrees. I was proud that the men did not stay in the fartsack where it was easy....but…

The Hive 2018.47
So, I'm a little late on this backblast.... I probably owe someone a lot of burpees. Anyway, here is what went down. Warmup, SSHs, Jimmy Carters, holding a low squat moving your 6 for some hip mobility. The thang 5…

Honoring Three The Honey Badger Way
Monday's are great days for The Fort. There are a lot of great ways to start off your work week. The Honey Badger is an exception. I love what is being done there in honoring a fallen hero. If you have never been…

Cold Blooded at the Swamp
So it was the coldest day of November (so far) but at least there was no rain. A balmy 33 degrees to start the workout. My goal was to keep the energy level high to keep the blood flowing! Only 3 of the 15 men planned…

Pantheon 2018.45
I've been doing breathing exercises for awhile now, but I didn't consider it an activity worthy to include at an F3 workout. Then Santini did it, so now I had to do it better. Warmup, nothing new here, go read a dozen…

Bad Cousin
4 PAX including YHC rolled in before the 5AM start time at Bermuda Triangle this morning. It was wet, balmy, and almost felt like a summer morning. At 5, I gave the quick disclaimer and we took a mosey around the 1/4…

Forties for 40
Well today was the day... turning 40...why not take the Q today? I asked Bones for it months ago. There's nothing better than leading a group of men and friends at an F3 workout, especially on a birthday. I was really…

A Darth Visor Backblast
I came across this backblast while trying to find something to say about Darth Visor's passing. After reading it, I figured what better way to learn a small something about the man he was, than to "participate" in his…
