Small world at the Hive

Back and Forth
Nice crowd out for various forms of exercise (Bootcamp, Ruck, Run). 8 men went on an adventurous route around Rivergate. After a brief disclaimer, we jogged over to Gander Mountain. Lots of mumble chatter about the…

Ask not for whom the Year tolls- It tolls for thee
The morning dawned chilly but clear as I approached Pantheon on the first anniversary of my intro to F3. Alas my "sponsors" Howitzer and Bing would not be present due to having moved (Howitzer) and injury (Bing). Fish…

Building with Bricks
14 men converged at the Harris Teeter shopping center on a cool, foggy Tuesday morning. After a brief disclaimer, the four Ruckers donned their packs and marched away while the rest of the pax stayed with YHC. This is…

Creating Margin to get better
This morning’s Ranch Q started10 hours earlier when I began building the weinkie. The first place I went to build my weinkie was to see what this month’s theme was. To my surprise, the theme is margin. But wait, what do…

The CHOICE is yours as a NoCo Brother Crosses State Lines!
Today, I was graciously welcomed with open arms and ears by my fellow brothers across state lines. I was bestowed with the honor to Q WEP today and admittedly, I was a touch nervous. Not for the workout itself, but what…

Shuffle Left, Shuffle Right, Catch Your Partner
Despite a very late election night to determine our 45th POTUS, 9 pax found their way out of the fartsack and landed at the Coop for a beatdown. The temperature was in the mid-forties, with enough cloud cover to…

Field of Burpees
9 brave men searched for their gifts, strengths, and successes throughout Downtown Fort Mill this morning. From the sounds of it - if you accept a dinner invite from Ginsu you also accept your fate of posting to The…

More than 5 Alive with Panther pounding at The Deep
YHC apologizes to the 11 PAX at the Deep for the delayed backblast, but thanks them another opportunity to lead at a Lake Wylie AO. The PAX started arriving early on a brisk (never say cold) morning to get in a little…

40 Yard Sprints and some Other Stuff
Weather was perfect for a Varsity tryout. Warm up lap, down the hill to Sugar Creek ES and around the bus loop. Stop for a COP with some of the standards and some not so much (goof-balls). Mosey back to the top of the…

CUBS WIN! CUBS WIN!! - How's that relate to a F3 workout???
What a week for being a baseball fan. One of the best 7 game series for a world series. It doesn't matter if you are/aren't a fan of the Cubs or Indians. But who isn't a Harry Carry or Bill Murray or Eddie Vedder fan?…

Another morning at The Poopdeck...
The fun never ends and the party never stops, so we get up another day and keep working. So, I don't know if you were aware or not but the night before this post was the WORLD FREAKING SERIES! Spoiler alert: The Cubs…

Pyramid of Pain makes landfall at the Abyss
9 Men posted to the Abyss after being warned that the Pyramid of Pain would be making its first appearance. A surprise appearance by Witch Hunt who gave away his Q at the Pantheon was a welcome surprise. YHC greeted all…

Trick or Treating at The Deep 10/28/2016
What perfect weather we had for a little Halloween fun at The Deep. Small chill in the air but nothing that would keep the Pax away. When 6:30 am hit, we had 4 Pax and 1 FNG (Thats 2 FNGs for Lake Wylie this week. Lets…
BLOCK PARTY · OCT 25, 2016
Easy as 1,2,3,4 ....times 10.
10 PAX appeared at WEP to enjoy the cooler weather with YHC on Q. Gave a brief disclaimer and a short message about how I plan (or don't plan my workouts). A few things we learned today. 1. As Q, It's not about you…

You sure this is a Helmet Q?
I promised no burpees, no bear crawls, and no partner carries. I'm not sure people believed me, but they came anyway. I delivered on the promise. The workout still sucked. At least a little... Plus there was math, so…
COLOSSEUM · OCT 18, 2016
Webb-o-Rama at The Colosseum
14 gathered for another perfect morning that almost didn't qualify as "gloom" given how bright the moon was. Disclaimer was given, and off we moseyed before YHC thought to ask if there were any FNGs. Affirmative. Sir…

Everything is bigger in Texas Style
It’s amazing to see what F3 has not only done for me, but the Fort region. This is not only the case with the growth of the PAX and AO’s, but the type of AO’s as well. We first started with only bootcamp AO’s, then a…

Not here for the Yardwork
YHC answered the call to Q this week, in spite of the fact that i had not previously posted at The Yard. I arrived a little earlier than normal to get a quick recon in, and was excited to see a lot of cars rolling into…
