THE BALLROOM · FEB 13, 2018
Chasing Blue Zones
Nine of the fine regulars of The Ballroom posted for YHC's first time Q'ing at the AO's new locale of PKMS. The temp was mid-40s, but the breeze seemed to bring a chill that made a few spend just a half second wondering…

Prepared for Rucking?
It was an honor to lead 6 High Impact Males this morning in the Ruck WO at Golden Corral. This is always a difficult Q for me because I never want to underestimate the abilities of the men I am leading. WARMUP We began…

HIT at the Hive
Following up my tremendously successful initial kettlebell Q at Tomahawk last week I was asked to Q the Hive this week... That or they just needed someone to do it... I chose to believe it was because I excelled at my…

Burpee Bonanza at the Swamp
Tuesday morning at Golden Corral, Cable Guy (in typical Cable Guy fashion) looks over at YHC (who is conveniently located across the parking lot, because, well, Cable Guy in the morning…) and says, “So, you’ll Q Friday…
SLOW BURN · FEB 9, 2018
Be Still
18 pax posted 'round the Shovel Flag at Slow Burn for some usual Fri 1st F and 2nd F engagement. Well, at launch, we actually had 17 pax and reports of an 18th enroute. Disclaimer was proclaimed. February theme of…

Read directions and go...
Short mosey over to band practice parking lot with some high knees, butt kickers, and high skipping. Next we circled up for the following warm-up: - SSH, Imperial walkers, cherry picker, mountain climbers, Moroccan…

Ballet and Bear Crawls at Abyss
YHC was already planning to post to the Abyss and suffer the wrath of Wolverine, so when the flu knocked out the regenerating superhuman, it only made sense for a Jedi to step in and help. Plus, there were already…
COLOSSEUM · FEB 6, 2018
Winter Olympic games
Mosey over behind the school to the hill with the light poles. Worked our way up the hill stopping at each light pole doing a different exercise at each. SSH Hill Billy Walker Carolina Dry Docks Low Slow Squats LBCs…
THE BALLROOM · FEB 6, 2018
Ballroom with Fogerty VQ in the Fort!
Had a little co Q action going on at the Ballroom. YHC did the disclaimer and a brief intro on the words of the month Worry/Anxiety. Off for a short mosey around the parking lot. Didn't take long for the complaining to…
FEB 6, 2018
Accumulator Around Rite-Aid
7 boot campers and 5 ruckers launched after YHC gave an "official" disclaimer (as per suggestion from Chaser on the weekly F3 round table conference call). Boot campers were led by Hootie for a mosey around the parking…

Superbowl Hangover
Pretty quiet morning at Quagmire due to the Superbowl. I was prepared for some smack talk from the Eagles fans since I am a lifelong Patriot's fan. Bones and Homebrew showed up for some fun at Rivergate. After the…

Deck of Death and the Deconstructed Burpee at the Deep
It was early, it was cold. I had told the guys throughout the week to bring their kids and we could enjoy an easier workout. But even I bailed with my two boys when I heard it was going to be 20 degrees. Seems like…

Our Community
Sharkbait and I arrived a little early to get prepared for the workout. We walked up to the basketball court and we were asked "Are you with F3?" I answered "Yes, are you ready for the workout?" They all answered "Yes"…
THE RANCH · FEB 1, 2018
Running the Lights with Classic Rock
I haven't Q'd at the Ranch in quite a while so I thought it would be fun to use the field and light poles in a circuit training of sorts. It is always a decent change in pace when I can carry around a phone and speaker…

Taking it easy at the Golden Corral
After two Qs last week, YHC’s creativity was all but spent. Nevertheless, when Old Bay asked if I could fill in for Boeheim, I agreed to help. I still have that Twister spinner I made for a previous Q, so I already had…
SNAKE PIT · JAN 29, 2018
Working on the Bum-Bum
This was my first kettlebell Q so truth be told I googled "kettlebell circuit workout" and the bulk of the decent sites were ladies teaching how to firm up you "bum-bum's"... Seemed like we all could use a little help…
SLOW BURN · JAN 26, 2018
Slowburn - Pain Stations +
25 PAX gathered at slowburn for a saucy workout. We gave a quick disclaimer and welcomed 2 FNG's. It wasn't long and we headed out for a short mosey. We circled up and I turned over the warm up to Fogarty for his V Q…

Going Primal at Pantheon
At 0514, Pusher learned that YHC had the Q for Pantheon this morning and acknowledged that he needs to check Twitter more often. But, he stayed, along with six other PAX who didn’t know what they were getting themselves…
ALCATRAZ · JAN 20, 2018
All The Jacks
Alcatraz has so many options for doling out the pain. With the recent snow there was still areas of ice so decided to stay on campus and use those resources. Warm ups: SSW (Jumping Jacks), Hillbilly Walkers, Imperial…
SLOW BURN · JAN 19, 2018
Post Snow Cold Burn
11 at SlowBurn ... label me disappointed, is it the cold? Is it the snow on the ground? Prepare Yo Self, put on some mittens and a cap and get out here ... please (apparently I don’t say please enough) Filling in for an…

Footloose - Balmy weather
What a difference a week makes. Who would have thought we would be out in tee-shirts and shorts after a week of the teen temperatures. Fortunately the rain finished up a few hours before we kicked things off at 5:15. 17…
JAN 4, 2018
Just in Time
YHC peeled into the parking with 1 minute to spare before the 515 start to see 12 eager PAX waiting to warm up in the cold. It would have been a bad look for the Site Q to be late to his own Q. The Thang Mosey to the…
RING OF FIRE · JAN 3, 2018
One Year Celebration at The Coop
On my second Q in as many days to celebrate my one year anniversary of F3 I had a much better turnout (Can't blame Clemson for fartsacking today...) 12 men arrived in the slightly chilly morning air to make themselves…
BLOCK PARTY · JAN 2, 2018
Forefeast of the Theophany
10 PAX posted in the arctic air this morning (the Ninth Day of Christmas) after emerging from their warm vehicles. There was some mild griping about the weather and a college football game from the night before. Before…
