The number or reps represent the ages of the parents and three children: 9, 12, 16, 42, 44. Remember how important friends and family are in life, and to cherish each moment because you do not know when things can quickly change.

  • What is this Cadence of which you speak – from Hokie

    After being MIA for 28 days, YHC was determined to return and took the open Q for Rock City.

    12 Pax gathered At 0530 we had a disclaimer and headed toward the rock pile for Warm-o-rama

    The first exercise will be Slow Vagoda’s … 1, 2, 3 … and the Mumblechatter erupted about the Q forgetting how we do things at F3 with the Q being left with no defense

    After being reintroduced to correct procedures, we continued

    The next exercise will be
    Arm Circles
    Starting Position
    Move
    In cadence
    Exercise

    We then gathered with requested medium to heavy rocks (probably should have said just medium) to begin our journey up the mountain

    1, 5, 10, 15, … 40…. 35,30…. 5 with coupons/rocks

    1 burpee
    1… 5 cross over merkins
    1, 5… 10 triceps
    1, 5, 10…15 shoulder press
    1, 5,10,15 …20 curls
    1, 5, 10, 15, 20… 25 rows
    1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25… 30 lunges
    1, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30… 35 chest press

    Then back down, 30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 1

    30, 25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 1

    25, 20, 15, 10, 5, 1

    20, 15, 10, 5, 1

    15, 10, 5, 1

  • 5 Minutes of PT and 40 Minutes of Hell – from Hawgcycle

    Conditions: Clear and 46 degrees. Feels like 42. Humidity 75%. Wind 7 mph from ENE.

    Grabbed the Q last night. Knowing that we would be on the Blue Devils’ field reminded me that The Hogs will be hosting Duke Wednesday night at Bud Walton. Which then took me back to the glory days of Razorback Basketball and the 94 National Championship win over Duke under the direction of Nolan Richardson. That led me to thinking about the 40 Minutes of Hell defense he installed in the late 80s and early 90s. Then I remembered that I had seen a workout in the F3Nation Exicon called the Nolan Richardson aka 40 Minutes of Hell. That’s how you plan a workout.

    Been a while since I have given the disclaimer. Stumbled through it as normal and did a warm-up lap. Tenderloin, Scantron, and Rou left to do their own thing. The rest of us circled up in the center of the field (not the exact center and not exactly a circle as made clear by the F3 Nola compliance department). Did 15 SSHs and then much to everyone’s delight we went through the PT regimen for my groin issue: Lunges, Suzanne Sommers, Wife Pleasers, and Leg Lifts. A couple of these exercises required full body contact with the frosty field. #crowdpleaser

    Then jog to the goal line for 40 minutes of Hell. It’s a lot like Dora. Partner up and complete the rep count as a team. While Pax 1 does the prescribed exercise, Pax 2 backpedals 50 yards, does a Bobby Hurley…scratch that….does a Scotty Thurman, and then runs back to the goal line.

    150 burpees, 300 squats, 150 Big Bois, 300 Arm Circles, 150 Merkins, 300 Imperial Walkers.

    We didn’t quit get through the entire set. Probably a bad omen for tonight’s game.

    I didn’t have a shovel flag this morning, which is a Q fail. Fortunately Belloq came to the rescue. He wore his 1991 American Flag leather jacket and stood patiently in place during the workout. He was there guiding us home at the end. #HIM.

  • He’s heavy and he’s my F3 Brother – from Triple Shift

    I arrived at the AO early to see Tenderloin getting his extra laps in as I scoped out the football field where all the work would get done today. As The Architect rolls in, he comments that I’m early which I proceed to brush off since I’m the Q. Anyway, 5:30 am comes quickly and I give a very short disclaimer and we’re off around the track for the warmup.

    WARMORAMA
    After one lap, we circle up for low and slow Squats, Imperial Walkers (this is a crowd pleaser with all the pax stumbling to hold elbow to knee for a 3 count), Parker Peters, Shoulder Taps, Peter Parkers, Floyd Mayweathers, and Merkins.

    PARTNER ONE THANG
    Hand Grenada slips in the warm up which gives me an even number of Pax….so partner up with someone who is around your weight. Start on the sideline and Fireman’s carry your partner all the way across to the other sideline. Flapjack the Fireman’s carry to head back. This was pretty difficult given my partner was 20+lbs heavier than me.

    PARTNER TWO THANG
    20 REPS of Nordic Hamstring Curls, No Cheat Patti Cake Merkins, Leg Throws, and WW2 Patti Cake Sit-ups

    PARTNER THREE THANG
    Partner up on the goal line for some Dora. 75 Genuflects, 100 Reverse Plank Walk Kick, and 125 X Factors. The mode of travel is lunge walk 25 yards and then run back to tag your partner.

    BONUS
    Ring of Fire Al Gore/Monkey Humpers and Glute Bridge/ Alabama Wife Pleasers

    COT
    Gave thanks for men of F3 and lifted up prayers to help us be the men we were created to be.
