8 men made the correct choice and posted to a gladiator workout instead of the tiny-arm tango across town. CSPAN, who had verbally confirmed his attendance less than 8 hours before decided to #fartsack…he missed out.  We started at 5:15 on the dot and began a shoulder burner.

Warm-up – mosey around the loop and then over to the basketball courts with a combo of butt-kickers, high knees, karaoke and backwards mosey.

25 SSH, 15 IW, 15 slooow merkins, 15 overhead claps, plank series including the crowd-pleasing sit-through, Peter Parkers and Mtn. Climbers.  Then something new: the #loophole stretch x10.  I wanted to get the shoulders warmed up a bit more so this was the trick: hands extended overhead and out in front with palms facing you (1); rotate your arms around making a large circle overhead (2) until the meet in the back (3) and then back to the front (ONE).

Mosey to the loop curb: 20 #RollingThunder…these are always “easy” with lots of chatter until you hit around 10…

Mosey back to the basketball courts: 4 hours of #ClockworkMerkins

Mosey over the the football stands for a few loops up and down the stairs (partial recon) and then back over to the base of the hill:

  1. Bear crawl up switching to reverse bear crawl midway.  Rinse and Repeat in reverse (starting w/ reverse bear crawl);
  2. Hill Sprints x 5 ending with 10 burpees OYO at the top.

Mosey over and around and back to the base of the steps by the hill: #Step-frogs (this is a horrible name, someone please think of something better…)  Goes something like this: Merkin position on the steps, perform a Merkin and then do a dynamic Merkin to advance up the next step.  Repeat until you get to the top.  Rinse & repeat.  (No lost teeth = win!)  Ab lab while waiting for the six.

Mosey back to the base of the hill: Hill sprints x5

Mosey back to the basketball courts: 2 hours of #ClockworkMerkins

Mosey to the near wall:  Peoples Chair w/ 25 Moroccan Nightclubs, Recover, Peoples Chair with 25 Overhead claps.

Mosey to the some other wall: Balls to the wall with a 45-degree to 90 degree progression.  Rinse & Repeat x3

Mosey back over to COT w/ a short ab-lab so nobody felt cheated by ending 90 seconds early.

Always a pleasure to Q at this AO – so many options and always a great group.  Thanks for the opportunity, Maximus!  Also want to thank Anchorman for hearing my call and Apache for making the trip across the river

  • QIC: Crab Cakes
  • When: 01/05/16
  • Pax: Santini, Green Wave, CSPAN, Backdraft, Dawg Pound, Hasselhoff, Axle, Atticus, Houska
  • Posted In: The Colosseum

10 strong men headed into the cold hard gloom this morning to get better – one bear crawl at a time. Needless to say – they were crowd pleasers.

NMMS:

Little baby jog to the “grass area” in front of the school for COP/Warmup

IW x 20

WM x 15

Merkins x 10

LSS x 15

Peter Parkers x 15

Parker Peters x 15

Warmup over – line up along the edge of the….um….grass.

Extra long bear crawl to the opposite side of the field.

Extra long bear crawl to the opposite side of the field – AGAIN!  (crowd pleaser)

Little baby jog to the hill at the back of the school and pair up – size does not matter.

Partner #1 run down the hill and give us 7 burpees

Partner #2 give us merkins until your partner gets back.

Flapjack with 6 burpees at the bottom and rotate squats in while you wait for your partner

Little baby jog to the front of the school for some Perfect Pushups.

Give us as many perfect merkins as you can give until your form starts to break.  Then get up and run around the field.  Do it again – your reps should go down.  Do it one more time – your reps should go WAY down.

Head to the field for some Rugby Sprints x 5 with:

Freddy Merc’s

Mountain Climbers

Up/Downs

Merkins

LBCs

Back to the edge of the field for everyone’s favorite – EXTRA LONG BEAR CRAWLS x 2!

Finish with 6MOM

COT

CSPANs announcements:  Joe Davis Run this Saturday.  F3TheFort Fuel Challenge starts Jan. 18th.  Padre Convergence Jan. 23rd.  Read the Newsletter!

Prayers for our brother Lil’E as he struggles through illness that has landed him in and out of the hospital.

Great job by the pax this morning.  First overcoming the very cold temperatures.  Second for crawling through something they did not appreciate.  Very strong work!  It is such an honor to be involved with a great group of men.  My best friend in MD is going through the toughest challenges of  his life right now and he is entirely alone.  Never take F3 for granted.  It’s an amazing group that shows you that we should not be going through this journey by ourselves.  We should be locking shields with each other and taking on life’s challenges together!  Get involved in ALL 3 F’s and STAY involved in ALL 3 F’s.  Aye!

The Fort Fuel Challenge 2016

Leave a comment

Listen… We work out… Some of us work out most days a week.  So with all this working out, the question is: Why aren’t we shedding the love handles and the spare tire?  With the amount of physical torture we endure, we should be chiseled like a Marble Statue.

Alas, working out is only a portion of the plan… you have to stop eating garbage.

With that, I bring you The Fort Fuel Challenge 2016.  This is the new incarnation of what we did a little over a year ago (found here), but this time around you have experience on your side… I am not a professional, but we’ve done this before and have seen results.  YHC lost 7.5% of my mass (presumably fat), with the overall lead by Cash coming in at just shy of 10%.

The key to this isn’t calorie reduction (although that may be something you have to look into) and it isn’t about eating the same food every day for lunch.  You don’t need to starve yourself to see results, you just need to feed the machine the right fuel.  To feed yourself the right fuel, you need discipline and accountability.  That’s really what the Fuel challenge is all about…

So here’s the deal.  We are going to kick off on January 18th through February 29th.  This gives you two weeks to do two very important things… in fact, these are so important that I would propose that you cannot succeed in this program with out completing them:

  1. Clear out all the junk in your pantry/fridge.
  2. Get the M on board

Number 1 is easy.  Get rid of the junk now before you start.  Less junk means less temptation.  Eat it in the next two weeks if you have a problem with throwing it away, but get it out of your food storage before January 18th.

Number 2 is not as easy for some of us, but it is crucial.  You cannot do this in your house on your own, especially if your wife is eating a bowl of Ice Cream after dinner every night.  You will either come off as a self righteous prick or you will cave.  Neither of these is a recipe for success.  Get the M on board, she really wants to eat better too.

Base Program

The Fuel Challenge will give you a chance to test yourself with the support of your fellow men of F3.  And maybe after 6 weeks, you will stick to the plan (or much of it) in order to live a healthier lifestyle. The program will have a base list of items that are prohibited during the six weeks as follows.  This is mandatory and is really what will make the biggest difference in your quality of food intake.

  • No Fried Food
  • No Fast Food (inc. Pizza)
  • No processed snacks like Potato Chips, Candy Bars, Etc.
  • No Dessert
  • No Sodas or Sweet Tea
  • No Cheeses (including shredded, feta, or slices. Get it off your sandwiches and salads)(Cottage cheese will be allowed)
  • No Cream Based Sauces/Dressings (This Includes Fat Free Options for Ranch, Caesar, Alfredo, Etc.)

This seems like a significant challenge, especially for the road warrior, but you can do it.  You just need to be aware of what you are eating and plan.

You will receive ONE free pass per week – this could be a steak dinner, a pizza, etc. – no carryovers though, the pass can only be used that week – try to use your weekly pass in moderation.  Some call this a “cheat”, but use if you need to.

After week one, we introduce challenges, which are cumulative.   Some would argue the health benefits of a few of these, but I don’t think anyone can claim that limiting these items will have a detrimental effect on your well being.   Remember this is not about “dieting”, but about discipline.  Keep that in mind.

Here are the cumulative challenges:

Week 2 (and on) – No Red Meat
Week 3 (and on) – No Breads (Sprouted Grain is accepted)
Week 4 (and on) – No Pork
Week 5 (and on) – No White Starches (Potatoes, Pastas, White Rice. We’ll talk about substitutes)
Week 6 – No Dairy or Things Cooked in Butter

Just like last time, we’ve “modified as needed”.  Here are a few “Extra Credit” challenges for those so inclined.  These are not mandatory, so feel free to adopt whatever works for you.

  1. HC to F3 250.  For those that are at 2-3 posts a week, this could be a way to up your game.  Tracking F3 250 along with this attention to dietary details could be what takes your fitness (and physique) to the next level.  You can even track using this handy template.
  2. Implement Intermittent Fasting.  I’m planning on doing this and would encourage you to try the same if you can handle skipping breakfast.  There are numerous health benefits that are purported as side effects to Intermittent Fasting, but do your own research and try it if you think it makes sense.

Similar to last time, here’s how we’ll be tracking for accountability/encouragement from the participants:

  1. On January 18th, post your starting weight in the comments of this page. You have time to buy a home scale or find out where the one at your gym is. On the pending February 29th backblast post, you will post your weight using the same scale. This requires honesty and consistency. If you want to weigh yourself in the buff (don’t tell us) just do it both times. Same if it’s in underwear and t-shirt, swim trunks, etc. Having a scale also helps track progress along the way but is not the ultimate measure of health. You will need to post your weight on both posts. You will also track your weight on the My Fitness Pal page.
  2. Sign up for My Fitness Pal and download the app if you have not done so already (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ ).  Enter in all of your information including starting weight. This will factor into your suggested daily calorie consumption. Send me (Gears) your MFP id so I can invite you to the group. You can reach me via twitter (@vinsonizer) or simply put the id in the comments below.  If you didn’t have enough options, you can just go to the following URL and request group membership: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/100013-f3thefort
  3. Track your exercise and calories on My Fitness Pal. If you see really good results, guys may want to go back and see how you did it. The app allows you to scan bar codes, enter in recipes and ingredients to determine calories, and already has a robust library of foods from restaurants and grocery stores.  You can also enter in weight goals and it will help provide daily calorie count, protein, carb and fat limits. You gain higher limits to stay on track with your goals by entering in your workouts.

One last comment to reiterate the above: If you are moved to do so, please view this as an opportunity to exercise not only physical/mental discipline, but also spiritual discipline. Any type of fast can be leveraged as a catalyst for prayer and worship, allowing the limiting of the desires of the flesh to remind us of our dependence on SkyQ. My personal hope is that this will be fruitful in all the self-dimensions of our personal lives: Heart, Soul, Strength, and Mind.

The Ultra-vergence… Man, that’s a lot of vergence…

Leave a comment

(Poorly paraphrased from Dredd that AM): “Well, we [he and OBT] said, we’ll show up and if it’s just us two, then we’ll go do something else, but if they [the other invited Pax] show up, then we might have something and we’ll see where it goes…” (emphasis added)

That was 5 years ago. Now, we’re celebrating a new year, and we’re celebrating the 5 year anniversary (birthday?) of F3. Clearly, they had something…

As approximately one Pax for every day of the year crawled out of their clowncars and onto what may have been the wettest field I’ve ever been on, the energy was palpable. Friends from all over F3 Nation were reconnecting and new ones were being made, including an FNG from The Fort who apparently EH’ed himself (welcome Speaker)… There were smiling faces and shovel flags everywhere. The fun had started, but before long, it was time for the workout to begin…

As you can imagine, attempting to lead a group of 365 Pax is… well… ridiculous. It’s a little amusing to me that part of the whole reason Dredd and OBT broke off from the other workout group to create F3 was because the size of the group had become problematic and unwieldy. So, how should we celebrate 5 years of F3? Well, let’s see if we can’t have the most problematically-sized group come together and let’s try and make them follow instructions. (*COUGH* *GASP* *COUGH* You’ll have to excuse me, I’m choking a little on the irony…) Regardless, though, we warmed up, Dredd split us up into groups, and off we went. The workout, the “thang”? It was in there… We rotated through stations… there was some running, some ladders, some dips, some derkins, hills, burpees (of course), some other stuff… Was it the best workout I ever had? Well, it wasn’t the worst one for sure. But if you came for the workout, you may have overlooked what was happening.
As always, there were a couple of guys who were definitely there to prove they were fitter than the rest of us. That’s cool, you’re welcome here. There were a couple of guys who were clearly struggling to keep up at all. That’s cool, you’re welcome here. There were guys who wear blue collars all week long. That’s cool, you’re welcome here. There were guys whose net worth is that of a small country in certain parts of the world. That’s cool, you’re welcome here, too. Black, white, fast, slow, tall, short, rich, poor, fat, thin… all irrelevant. Welcome is what you are when you are here. It is this way because for that one hour, we all look basically the same (you know the uniform…) so you don’t know who is rich or poor or otherwise. For that one hour, we all basically act the same (unless you are Apache), we’re here to workout and fellowship a little. No one is elected, there is no hierarchy, no one is grading your performance… You know what it is? It’s because for that one hour, I believe, we are about as free as we can be in our modern, over-technologized, overcommitted, over-everythinged lives. We’re free from roles that weigh us down, free from the constraints that life and the world put on us… We’re just free to BE. That’s why we plant a flag, hustle, then take a knee at the end to give thanks to the SkyQ. That’s why we are proud to call ourselves a part of the Brotherhood of Minivan Centurions.

So, we converged, because I think somewhere deep inside we wanted to show our gratitude for this thing that has meant so much to us. Partly to God for leading us to it (or it to us, whichever), partly to the Redwood Originals for starting and sticking with it until it got to us, and partly to each other for continuing to push us to make ourselves more of what we were put here to do. I think that we came because there is strength in knowing and then physically seeing the fact that we are clearly not alone in this battle we fight. That at every turn, there is a man in a black shirt and running shoes that will help if needed.

Again, paraphrased very poorly from Dredd (right before the Ball of Man): “So now our job is to give it away. To share what has meant something to us. Because there are guys out there right now that you know who are crappy fathers, guys who are crappy husbands about to lose their marriages. There are guys who are crappy employees, or are otherwise just dissatisfied with their lives… and YOU CAN SAVE THEM.” (again, emphasis added)

To quote the immortal Forrest Gump: That’s all I have to say about that…

Until the next one…
Helmet, out.

Clown Cars from the Fort for 1/1

Leave a comment

Gentlemen (and the rest of you):

I can’t speak for everyone, but I can speak for me, so I will. On 1/1/16, all PAX of F3 Nation have been invited to celebrate the 5th anniversary of this crazy thing that has inspired so many of us to burn the ships (and our fat pants), to reach in out in service and love to our community (and to our F3 brothers), and to straighten our walk with the SkyQ (which for me = My Heavenly Father). For me, this experience has touched and helped to shape nearly every aspect of my character over the last year that I have been involved, and I look forward to the next 5 years to see what changes will come from my association with all of you.

That said, we are going to support this “ultra-convergence”, if you will, and clown car up to the celebratory workout on New Year’s.

Here are the details as I know them:
1. We will meet at 0600 with wheels up at 0610 at the Baxter Starbucks
2. The workout location is Alexander Graham (AG) Middle School in Charlotte.
3. The workout start time is 0700. End is 0800.
4. There won’t be a much better time to bring an FNG, than to this. SO EH SOMEBODY.
5. I am not personally aware of any formal coffeeteria plans immediately following the workout, but I am certain that there will be at least one or two happening, so I’d plan on spending that time there as well.
6. The link to the Pre-Blast is here: http://f3nation.com/2015/12/16/the-fifth-anniversary-convergence-1116/

Several of you have committed to driving a car of clowns up, but if there are more, please let me know @darkhelmetF3, or let me know if you’d like to go, but not drive (which is the camp I fall into… Ask Spiderman (@F3_Spiderman) or Whitesnake (@Raindawg), nobody wants me to drive).

AYE!

Helmet, out.

#Mumblechatter 101 @F3Colosseum

Leave a comment
  • QIC: CSPAN
  • When: 12/08/15
  • Pax: Seacrest, Dog Pound, Santini, Lil'E, Sir Topham, Chicken Hawk, & Maximus
  • Posted In: The Colosseum

8 men assembled at #Colosseum

Weather was a crisp and dark 40 degrees

Lots of #Chatter before launch

Sir Topham was the only one interested in extra credit, and I assumed ran to AO and ran home #TrainingforAsheville

Disclaimer

CSPAN on Q

Excessively Short mosey

COP

SSH, IW, Squats, Windmills, Moroccan Night Clubs, Seal Jacks, an additional set of something.

Dynamic warmup series: butt kickers, high knees, toy Marines, grapevine, soccer hips in and out

Long warmup Plank-o-Rama series and more chatter on my cadence being too slow or too fast (#sorrynotsorry) guys seemed to really enjoy the planking…followed by CDD, and Mountain Climbers, at this point I lulled them all into thinking that this was going to be easy…seemed like we did a bunch of “honeymooning”

Pick a #BattleBuddy

Light Pole Series

5 light poles down highway at GHMS served as our markers for the down and back stations

10 reps at each station, and yes for you boys using common core math that equates to a total of 100

  1. Handshake Americans (crowd pleaser = #mumblechatter stopped) = Partner holds you accountable
  2. Squats (new partner=sometimes we are that sort of group) Partner insures you maintain correct form
  3. Burpees (I said nothing about partners, but we still paired up and held each other accountable) Chicken Hawk was “blamed” for this selection, but I always had it planned, Hawk and STH displayed ridiculous speed

We moseyed over for… by far the weirdest ABLAB I have ever been in, I am not sure how or why Jane Fonda got introduced but I blame it all on Santini…I also believed it was Suzanne Summers who developed that exercise…#weird #mumblechatter #weirdos #laughs #funny #innappropriate

COT

Prayer & Praise, BOM, and outstanding fellowship

Moleskin:

Always an honor to Q, here is everything in my notes:

Be a better man today than you were yesterday,

CSPAN – over & out

14 men showed up on this beautiful fall morning for another beat down at the Colosseum.  Here is what went down.

COP #1 – SSHx30, IWx15, WMx10 #crowdpleaser, Side LungesX10each leg

Mosey around the parking lot to the grassy field in the middle

COP #2 – 10 Burpees OYO, (Mountain Climbersx25 – CDDx10 – Peter Parker Petersx10 – Diamond Merkinsx10 – 6″) All in Plank , Morrochan Night Clubsx30

Partner up in 4 groups for 2 Rounds of Wave Merkins – Rd 1 Merkins, Rd 2 WA Merkins

Mosey to street for a couple rounds of catepillars

Mosey to Hill – Lunge Walk hill with 10 jump squats in beginning, each light post and top.  Quick set of Abs: Flutter kicksx25 and LBCsx25

Jailbreak to COT

NMM: It was a great workout today with the #mumblechatter running high.  I heard as much grunting during the windmills as I did of Rd 2 of the wave merkins.  Is that a compliment?  I was honored to lead this group of men.  Thank you Maximus for the opportunity!

During the workout I told a quick story about Captain Florent Groberg of the US Army who was awarded the Medal of Honor (10th living recipient and 19th after Vietnam War) on Friday for his actions thwarting a suicide bomber in Afghanistan.  Feel free to google the story but what struck me was his commitment to training.  In the classroom, on field test and everything he did.  So at that moment during attack he could make the right decisions instinctively.  So with our walk with the Lord, how are you doing in your training?  Are you spending enough time with Him so we are able to make the best decisions throughout our daily life and challenges arrive?  This can be difficult in our busy lives. YHC is guilty as charged.

 

Aye!

This is opening weekend and the screen cannot be reserved.  The 3:50 time slot will sell out.  Call the theater or book on line for this show time.  Currently there are 230 seats open.  I anticipate our group to be atleast 100-150 ppl.  25-50 Pax each with kids.  Book ASAP…that is, after you finish booking your tickets for the Christmas Party.

0515 at The Colosseum…

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Dark Helmet
  • When: 11/10/15
  • Pax: Cerrano, Crash, Package, Spiderman, Ginsu, Seacrest, Zima, Kotter, Dark Helmet (YHC)
  • Posted In: The Colosseum

Is it that time already? I was expecting more rain this AM. It’s been raining around here lately. A LOT. I had almost forgotten what it was like to post without the sky pouring on us… At least it was still muddy, though… So we had that going for us, which was good.

The Thang:
Warm Up: Jog down with dynamic warmup
Knee pull to chest
Frankensteins
Windmill Walkers

COP in small parking lot:
SSH x 50
CDD x 30
Squats x 25
Mountain Climber x 30
Cadence Burpees x 15

Mosey to short track and playground then partner up (size will matter):
With your partner: 50 Swerkins – P1 goes 2 laps on short track, P2 does Swerkins – flapjack
50 Pull ups – (assisted is fine) – same running switch deal
50 Knee ups – same deal

Mosey around to long parking lot behind Elem School
With your partner: Resistance Run to long line (75 ft) then switch and come back
Bear Crawl to line, Crawl Bear the rest of the way
Partner Derkin Squat x 15 – flapjack
Partner Press Merkins x 10 – flapjack
Partner Carry – in middle do 5 squats then go to end – flapjack back

====================================

NMM:
I think the lack of rain inspired some extra high quality mumblechatter today. Spirits were high, despite some of us having little sleep. Today was also the Marine Corps’ Birthday. In the COP, I made some comment about the 30th year. The guys had a great time with that. My brain was functioning very poorly, even for me, and I didn’t even remember saying a number until Package pointed it out. Sometimes, my greatest purpose is comic relief… I’m at peace with it.

Inasmuch as it is the birthday of the USMC, and Veterans’ Day is tomorrow, I share this thought… It’s not unique to me by any means, though I don’t know where I came up with/heard it first. A soldier performs a service that is one of the most Christlike of which I am aware. He (or she) does for others things that they cannot do for themselves, and is willing to lay down his life, if necessary, in the process. All that we have in our lives, both temporally and spiritually, comes down to that kind of sacrifice. We cannot have any freedom, neither from tyranny, nor from death, nor from hell without those people (and that one Person) willing to give the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf. So as we go throughout this week, let’s think to thank those that served or are serving to provide us with the amazing blessings we have. And let us also consider how WE will sacrifice to make the lives of those around us (our wives, our children, our fellow PAX, and all our brothers and sisters on this planet) more of what they can be and what God has planned for them…

Aye! Helmet, out.

Finishing Right is More Important Than Finishing Fast

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Gears
  • When: 11/03/15
  • Pax: Aquaman, Crabcakes, Gekko, Santini, Deacon, Jekyll, Backdraft, Dog Pound, Boeheim, Gears (YHC)
  • Posted In: The Colosseum

10 Men answered the call this morning at Colosseum.  No FNGs, Disclaimer Disclaimed, and we were off.

 

The Thang

Mosey around the lot, then back to the back lot for a quick warmup.

COP including SSH, IW, Windmills, Peter Parker, Parker Peter, Mountain Climbers, and MNC

Moseyed to lot behind elementary school and partnered up for B.O.M.B.S.

One PAX does the following, while the other runs from the bottom of the lot, over the wall, touches the elementary school, back over the wall, then back to flapjack.

  • 50 Burpees
  • 100 Overhead Claps
  • 150 Merkins
  • 200 Big Boy Situps
  • 250 Squats

Moseyed back to the Shovel Flag for short COP:

  • 30 Flutter IC

 

NMM

Today’s focus was on form instead of speed.  It is easy to finish fast, but much harder to finish right.  This overflows in all aspects of our lives, and those we lead will emulate our commitment (or lack thereof).  Keep this in mind when you Q, when you lead your coworkers/employees, and your family.

 

Announcements:

Crossroads continues… 9 strong this morning.  Get after it.

2nd F Oyster Roast Sunday, See Pre-Blast and sign up

6-8:30 Springfield Elementary, need volunteers for games for Mom and Son’s night

Santini speaking Thursday morning at Christ Church 7-8:30

Dog Pound VQ Friday at the Hive

 

Prayers:

Crabcakes aunt Anne with recent prognosis of cancer.

Gekko’s daughter on mission trip to Dominican Republic.

Deacon’s praise for healing of co-worker Marilyn’s son and prayers for her daughter to seek the Lord.

 

Honor to Serve.
