SNAKE PIT · JUN 30, 2021
Bells. Apparently at Abercrombie and Fitch...
I forgot how fun it is to Q gear workouts. I haven't actually participated in a gear workout in (checks notes) a long time. I was excited to have 3D's invitation, but it took a few tries to get a date that would…

MilkShake 11.07.20
Four pax showed up for my first Milkshake Q. I didn't know what to expect so I was going to make it up as we go. We moseyed over to Walter Eiisha Park to the playground for a few rounds of pull-ups. I missed out on my…
SNAKE PIT · JAN 8, 2020
Push, pull, who mows your lawn...what?
8 (soon to be 9...then 10) PAX gathered for chilly Snake Pit morning. Getting the formalities (disclaimer) out of the way, YHC didn't waste time moving b/c it was COLD! We took off behind, I guess it's behind, the…

8 Cinderblocks of Christmas
Always glad to take on a Q at the Abyss! Great AO. 6 Beasts + YHC came out for the Iron Pax inspired "8 Blocks of Christmas" Having Q'd 3 beat downs recently with no Cindys I felt it was time to call that number. Thank…

Bite size tennis ball family
A nice and cool morning turned into something a bit warmer about 3 min in. 9 PAX took the DRP and after a quick, and non-energetic into as called out by Jekyll, YHC jumped out to a quick mosey. Stopping in front of the…

Minnow Pond Back Blast
BB- Perfect conditions if you like 90% humidity and August like conditions. Straight Up was a beast on the up and down hills. Funhouse had perfect burpee form and the rest of us did our best to keep up. From Launch…

Bleachers of Pain
Going to start off saying this is Punch List's fault. I talked to him earlier and asked him 2 muscle groups he wanted to hit during todays workout. His choices were quads and back. We had 2 FNG's at The Coop ready to…

Mile High Special at Quagmire
This was a Q I was looking forward to. It marked my 1 year anniversary with F3 and it was at the A/O that I started at. Not only was it my 1 year anniversary but some #HIM by the name of Jedi offered me to be the site…

Quagmire- Where it all Started
14 plus an FNG in the warm and muggy Gloom at Quagmire. This AO is where I posted for my first time back on 2-18-19. Bones' Eh'd me for 12 full months before I gathered the gumption to get after it. Lutefisk had the Q…

License to Ill at Quagmire
I love the opportunity to Q at Quagmire. Starting off the week, you need to make sure you wake everyone up with a good shake of the weinke. I wanted this one to be different, and boy was it. It looked REALLY good on…

Be prepared at the Bermuda Triangle!
Having the Q the day after Thanksgiving can be tough. But it's also the best way to hold yourself accountable. When Homebrew reached out to me with the offer to Q this day I knew I had to accept. I'd do anything to help…

Fire Ants Conquer the Iron Ruck Challenge
I love the Fire Ant concept! Always a challenge for sure, pushes you to do more. When Spiderman put me on Q I knew what I wanted to do. It was not an original - I took a page from the Iron Pax challenge that has been…

Broga, Tater Special, and Quagmire Handoff
The plan for several months has been for YHC to receive the shovel flag for Quagmire sometime in May. Eventually, the 14th came out as the best option, so it only made sense when the call for a substi-Q went out on…

My Varsity VQ
I'm afraid of Varsity...not gonna sugar coat it. Hardcore Boot Camps scare me, especially AO's that have pull-up bars on site. I stay as far away from them as possible. So, to get me to one of these crazy AO's, you'll…

Ruck Tuesday at Golden Corral
We rucked. It was a real hoot. Here's what we did: We loaded up "The Worm" on our shoulders, which for the uninitiated is a 4-section (in this case 3 since there were only 3 of us) beast with 4 short logs connected by…

Simple is good
It has been atleast 12 months since I have even posted at The Armory, let alone Q'd. Probably longer. But when Assassin asked you to do something, you do it. Plus it was new and fresh for me which is good for all of us…

The Encore
When I'm 59, I want to be like Bruce Dickinson. Disclaimer, etc. Slow mosey around the bus loop and back to the side of the lot, near the recycle bins. Back and forth across the basketball lot ... shuffle L, shuffle R…
