    Appreciators

    YHC is so appreciative of the role that F3 has been in my life for just over 2 years now. It has helped me grow, not just physically, but mentally and as a leader. YCH cannot express the value that has been added to my life through this group of men who get up early and workout. It was a pleasure toto kick off the third decade leading the Pax through a beatdown for the Ages.

  • Charmin’s Last Q (As a 29 Year Old) – from Charmin

    For once, there were more ruckers than runners, and no KnOTers.

    That being said, we kicked of the beat down with a count off of 9, then Ruckers rucked, and Runners ran, meeting at the exit of the park.

    While paces varied, good fellowship and conversation was had by all; all that is except Bolt who was running a 10 minute mile with his ruck, and then would knock out 100 burpees in 6 minutes while he waited for those of us who were closer to a 16 minute mile.

    This beatdown was a great one to have as YHC’s last Q as a 29 year old. Everyone came, pushed themselves, and we were able to get a great and sweaty beatdown in in 45 minutes (thanks to the humidity).

    This past year has been one of growth for YHC, and F3 played no small part in that. While the “hate” will (hopefully) go away, the love of the men of F3 will continue to carry on.

  • S&M…&R – from Bolt

    Three stretched, three ran and all six were accountable.

  • Skip Happens! – from Space Cowboy

    Weather: Sunny, 77 degrees; humidity makes it feel like 82 degrees

    When I woke up this morning, I checked the Q Sheets and realized that I mistakenly thought my Q workout was Wednesday instead of today. Unfortunately, I was not able to round-up the troops the previous night. Fortunately, I already had a full beatdown planned; and, 4 PAX including @Bolt, @Fracsac, @Kenna Brah and @Rev Sox joined me at The Scrum for my “6 month” F3 anniversary. Promptly at 5:30, I gave the disclaimer and we immediately mosey to my truck to pick-up jump “skipping” ropes and then off to the Shrine.

    etc.

    While jogging back to flag, PAX surprisingly talked about what it would be like to Jump Rope Burpee from the Shrine to the flag (about ¼ mile). Might be a good suggestion for a future skip beatdown! 2 min of LBC’s at flag. COT. Each day, I am more appreciative of F3. My first 10 Q’s over the past 6 months have been great and I look forward to future experiences.

  • 6-5-(2)4 MANniversary – from Bolt

    6-5-4 countdown: 6/5/24 marked my 4th MANniversary which required a Q by YHC. Boo-boo hyped it up in mumble chatter and the pax did not disappoint, including a DR Bow Wow from Lake Charles who drove in from BR to make the BD!

    Warmorama at the launch pad with Hip Circles (clockwise) x 5 (in cadence)

    Back to back ring of fire x 10 (two different exercises—FRAC!): Merkins (base position – plank), Jump Squats (base position – Al Gore). Somewhere in the mix Boo-boo called for a skip resulting in 5 burpee penalty.

    “Cool down” on your six for protractors for one minute followed by returning coupons and mosey to flag for final MANniversary moves—burpees of course!

    5 minute EMOM of 10 burpees/min, YHC DNF the 50 burpees for the first time in years—the King debilitated rapidly after a three week hiatus!

    4 years ago I needed F3 to keep me from losing my mind in the height of covid lockdown and used the desire to return to physical activity after a five year break as the impetus—what I got in return, many of you can identify with which is why I’m here four years later: the F2 and F3. Thanks to the pax for making me pursue improvement; you are my brothers from different mothers—much love!
