Playing Cards & Betting on Burpees

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Maximus & Cable Guy
  • When: 06/04/16
  • Pax: Snookie, Witch Hunt, Royale, Baby Connan, Kenyan, Villa, Warbucks
  • Posted In: The Deep, The Fort

So what happens when your number is called to Q at an AO and in a region you’ve not posted to yet? What happens when you’re paired with Cable Guy as your Q partner? What do you do? What do I do? I grab a deck of cards and show my appreciation at The Deep in Lake Wylie. We almost hit double digits and once the final car pulled in, I was surrounded by 8 other men ready to play cards. Cable Guy and I decided that I would take the first half of this party so after a brief disclaimer and an explanation, we were off.

Mosey to an adjacent lot for a quick warm-up consisting of:
SSH
Moroccan Night Clubs
Wind Mills
20yd Walking Lunges

Circle up around the deck for 1 cycle through:
Hearts: Carolina Dry Docks
Spades: Mountain Skiers
Diamonds: Diamond Merkins
Clubs: Butt Kickers
Jokers/Ads: 10 Burpees

Once we went through 1 time, we had 2mins left so we filled that with box cutters then revers box cutters. I will tell you, it’s been a long time since I’ve played cards but this is a workout that never disappoints. Sweat was pooling all around us and it was hard to catch my breath. So this was the perfect time to hand off to Cable Guy.

With that, he led us on a mosey to the field where we’d pick a partner.
First partner back peddles the 100yds while the other partner forward with him. Bring it back in reverse and repeat the whole thing.
Ditch the partner for some burpicides:
Run to the 1st line for 1 Burpee then back to the start for 1 Burpee. Do this until you get to 6 Burpees.
Partner up again and while the first partner starts with single count American Hammers going to 500, the other partner hits the 3 lines on the field with 2 Burpees at the first then back, 4 at mid-field then back, 6 at the third line then back. Swap with your partner and do this until 500 American Hammers are in the books.
Finish up with more 3-tiered burpicides of 7, 8 & 9 Burpees at the three lines. To say this crowd pleaser gassed the PAX is a massive understatement. It was one of those times and you seriously think you’re hallucinating b/c surely, the Q didn’t just say what I heard, did he? Oh yes. Oh yes he did. How I didn’t splash merlot at the end of this was amazing.

That is what it’s like to Q The Deep in Lake Wylie with Cable Guy. Brutally awful yet awesome. Welcome to F3. Great words by Royale at COT this morning. T-Claps to this man as he brings the energy, the emphasis and the opportunity to share the leadership. He has a great sales pitch and challenges other men to step forward.

Announcements: Hog & Coyote has several options…choose 1 and sign up, F3 Dads workout every Saturday in June 10am at WEP, SpitzArmy this Summer, read the newsletter.

Prayer Requests: Son’s birthday and upcoming vacation. Warbuck’s job and what he faces everyday. Patience with family in town and being the example that is needed.

The Hills of Pain Come to the Patriot

Leave a comment
  • When: 6/4/16
  • Where:  The Patriot
  • QIC:  Winchester and Walker
  • The PAX: Lucky Charms, Van Gogh, Choir Boy, Flounder (FNG), Pistol (Respect), Captain Kangaroo (Respect), Tony Hawk, Pale Rider (FNG), Limp Biscuit, Cornerstone, Peach (Respect), Utah, Bogey, The Flash. Hot Sauce, Sling Shot, Fusion, Dream House, Dawg Pound, Mayhem, Turbine, Reborn, Italian Job, Winchester, Walker (Respect)

 

25 strong men from Rock Hill came out for a hot and muggy morning beat down this morning by Winchester and YHC.  Winchester, Cheeto, and YHC run on Sunday mornings at the Hills of Pain and rarely have any of the Rock Hill/Ft. Mill Pax join us so we thought we might bring a portion of the Sunday morning pain to the Patriot this morning.  After the usual disclaimer, Winchester started us out of the gate.

The Thang:

Winchester of Q

Before we got into the workout, Winchester reminded us about the message of Romans 8 and how God is with us wherever we go and is our hope no matter what we are confronted with in life. For those that love God, he works all things for good even though from our perspective it may not seem so. Let us not lose sight of this as we move forward in our lives.

COP:

In cadence:  SSH – 15, Merkins – 10, Carolina dry docks – 10, Squats – 10, Moroccan night club – 10, Reverse Moroccan night club – 10, Merkins – 10

Mosey to hill near Sullivan Middle School for some “Hills of Pain” work:

Sprint up hill – Sprint down hill; Bear crawl up hill – crab walk down hill; Burpee broad jump up hill – sprint down hill.  Repeat all exercises

Walker on Q

Mosey to center of cone array for a Starfish routine.  Before we got started, I reminded the PAX about the message given in Romans 15:1-7.  In these verses, Paul basically speaks about the importance of building up you neighbor – in other words, building a community.  We in F3 have a calling to do such a thing.  We are not just passive members of a community. Part of the F3 mission is to build a community and it starts with the Sad Clown that you come across in your everyday life. As you go about your day to day, look for opportunities to build the F3 nation which in the end builds and impacts our communities in a very profound and Biblical manner.

Starfish Routine:

Cones are laid out with one cone in the middle of a 4 corner array (cones at each corner).

Exercises:  Middle cone – 10 burpees, run to 1st cone – 100 merkins, run back to middle cone – 10 burpees, run to 2nd cone – 100 LBCs, run back to middle cone – 10 burpees,, run to 3rd cone – 100 squats, run back to middle cone – 10 burpees,, run to 4th cone – 50 pike presses, run back to middle cone – 10 burpees

Total:  50 burpees, 100 merkins, 100, LBCs, 100 squats, 50 pike presses

COP

20 merkins in cadence , heels 6 inches off ground for 1 minute, 15 diamond merkins in cadence, heels 6 inches off ground for 1 minute, 20 wide arm merkins in cadence, heels 6 inches off ground for 1 minute, finished up with 5 burpees.

Mosey back to COT:

Naked Man:  Read the newsletter for F3 happenings in the area.  Prayers for Nancy who has tumors (Cornerstone’s neighbor), Cornerstone’s daughter, Limp Biscuit’s niece, F3 Olive and his family.  May we accept God’s will in all of these circumstances

The guys worked hard today and they gutted it out like true men of character do.  It’s an honor to lead and serve such great F3 brothers.

Walker Out!

Hog & Coyote 2016 – Ruck Option

Leave a comment

There has been a movement (not that kind and not that kind of group) within the Fort where quite a few PAX have been introduced to, and embraced the Ruck. AOs across the Fort are starting to offer a rucking option. If you don’t know what rucking is, don’t worry. I didn’t until about a year ago.

Here is the best explanation -> RUCKING

That said, rucking events are a different type of CSAUP, but CSAUP nonetheless. So, some of us in the Fort are going rogue and are introducing a rucking option for the Hog & Coyote. Due to the nature of rucking (slower pace than running), we’ll need to start a little earlier and bypass one AO (Run N Gun). But don’t kid yourself, 12+ miles with a 30 lb rucksack along with 4 bootcamp workouts (ruck included) will be considered a #beatdown!

I’ll be the first to HC!

If you’re up for the challenge, please join me. Unlike running a race, rucking is about starting and finishing together (never leave the 6). So this group will start and finish together, even if we have to carry some PAX across the finish line.

Route
Start – Colosseum (Maximus – Warm up Q) – 3.75 miles to WEP
The Fort (WEP) (Anchorman on Q) – 2.75 miles to HoG (6.5 miles total)
Hills of Gloom (Popeye on Q) – 3 miles to Patriot (9.5 miles total)
Patriot (Peach on Q) – 3 miles to Old Town (12.5 miles total)
Old Town (to the top of the parking garage)

Since we haven’t asked permission, we may need to conduct the first few bootcamps on our own, unless the Qs don’t mind showing up a bit early. We’ll leave that to them and modify as needed.

To view the rucking route option, click HERE

We’ll start the rucking option at 5:00 AM and plan on finishing with the rest of the PAX between 9:30-10:00 AM. All that is required is that you commit and show up with a weighted rucksack. Who’s with me?

Aye!

Recon our Region – Spitz’s Army

Leave a comment

Disclaimer: YHC did not come up with this idea. Spitz has led the charge on this for the last 2 years and deserves full credit hence the name.

As many of you know, F3 the Fort has seen tremendous growth over the past 3.5 years. In 2016 alone, we have welcomed 180 FNGs, expanded our numbers to ~700 PAX and added several AOs.

What has been consistent and a hallmark of F3 the Fort has been several key characteristics:

  1. Living the mission and core principles of F3
  2. A commitment to accountability and brotherhood amongst the PAX
  3. A strong desire to give back to the community where we serve
  4. A constant helping hand to members of the PAX who are struggling or in need

With all of this growth, the one thing that has been stretched is who you post regularly with. Even if you post 5+ times a week (CSPAN, Dark Helmet, etc.) you just don’t get to see all of the guys. This is particularly true of those PAX who started and built F3 the Fort back in 2012. In addition, the Fort boasts a tremendous amount of #HIMs throughout the region. These PAX continue to inspire me and quite frankly have some really tough workouts too! This is an opportunity to connect with these men and I guarantee all 3 Fs across the region.

So I asked myself, “what’s the best way to fix this? How about a challenge to all members of F3 the Fort? The Fort loves challenges!” My good friend Spitz had the idea to post at all of the workouts in our region and away we went.

So here is the challenge:

Your goal, should you choose to accept it, is to post at all 45 over the summer. YHC will create a list of those who HC and document the process each week. Here is the link for tracking your attendance:  Spitz Army Tracking

Except thats not all! Any man can do that! A real Fort Pax would also post at all of the 3rd F sites this summer too. So add (5) more AOs to the list for an even 50!

One of the lessons learned at the Fort is there is strength in numbers. HC to join Spitz’s Army via Twitter or the F3 Nation website. I look forward to seeing you in the Gloom!

Memorial Day Murph at The Fort

Leave a comment

Step 1: Finish your regular Monday Post
Step 2: Show up at The Coop (Nation Ford High School, Ft. Mill) and do The Murph.
Step 3: Remember that Memorial Day isn’t just cookouts and pool time…

The Thang:
We began with a warm-up led by each of the Veterans who were in attendance (CSPAN, Blackhawk, Howitzer, and Apache – my apologies if I missed anyone, but that’s all I could remember). There were a number of Seal Jacks, SSHs, Imperial Walkers, and some Bro-ga…

We then brought it in to be reminded of why were really there. The workout is good, but Freedom isn’t free, and we were there to honor men and women who gave their lives for our freedom. So, after a lesson from CSPAN on how to count to 4, we moseyed to the track to begin.

47 Pax completed the following for time (some with 20lb weight vests, and some with our built in weight vests who competed in the “modified” category):
1 Mile Run
100 Pull Ups
200 Merkins
300 Squats
Another 1 Mile Run

And there you have it… Workout complete. Then we circled up and each man present read the name (either one that they brought or one that CSPAN provided) of a fallen serviceman/woman so we could memorialize them.

NMM:
It’s always humbling to do The Murph for me. Not just because it is very physically demanding and I get to see how many times guys like Mary Lou can lap me on a mile track, but also because I am reminded of the men and women that gave all so that regular folks like me can live free. It is a gift that is unmatchable, unrepayable, and undeserved, and for it, I am grateful.

I can’t speak for everyone’s faith tradition, but in my personal belief system, Jesus Christ gave His life willingly to pay for my sins, my stupidity, and my weakness that I may live again in the presence of my Heavenly Father with my wife and family for eternity. Through His sacrifice, He has made me free from the tyranny of the Devil, free from pain, from death, and from Hell. He did something for me (and all of us) that we could not do for ourselves. It is my feeling that in keeping with that pattern, anyone who performs a service for another that they could not perform for themselves is acting in a Christlike way. The fallen soldiers that we honored today (and the many, many more that went unnamed this morning) did much that same thing. They willingly gave their lives and sacrificed that I may live on Earth in this country with my wife and family. They have provided me freedom from the tyranny of evil men, and they have done for me things that I could not do for myself. Reading their names after a workout is small in comparison, but I like to think that they are looking down and that maybe they appreciate the fact that we are trying, in our feeble ways, to honor them. To acknowledge that we rise and sleep in a country that their sacrifice made possible…

Helmet, out…

KUDOS to Whitney, Roxanne, and Captain Kangaroo. You guys pushed yourselves and inspired me this morning.

Pre-Blast for Memorial Day MURPH “FunHouse FunRun”

Leave a comment

If you don’t know by now, The Fort will be conducting the Annual Memorial Day Murph at NAFO high school (The Coop and Varsity AO).  This is a great opportunity to work out with The PAX to honor our service men and women. Post to your regular AO, then head over to NAFO for the double-down.  In addition to the workout, there will be awards handed out to those who perform at the top of the group.

However, there is one award that perked my ears, the Funhouse Pull Up award.  I assumed this award was for the PAX who increased their pull up count exponentially from the last go around (go search the last Fitness Test).  This was not the case.  ‘Casa de diversion’ (modified pull-up version aka the FUNHOUSE award)…..  “Don’t fall short, if you cannot or do not have a vest at least strive to perform your pull-ups without variation or as we stated above – try not to perform a #Funhouse so start working on those pull-ups today – you have time!”  So yes, YHC likes to modify.  Especially a freaking pull up. So why not “modify” the MURPH with a typical “FunHouse FunRun”?  Call it a triple-down.

So if you’re not afraid of modifying (CSPAN I see your “burpees” so I KNOW you love to modify) join me for this THANG:

Memorial Day – Monday, May 30th 0430

Start (Leg #1): 0430 at Trailhead Park in Tega Cay for a run to Flight Plan (Baxter Startbucks) ~ 4.2 miles

Leg #2: Flight Plan 0515 (YHC the Q) – I will find a suitable 4.5 mile loop that will get everyone ready to go do the MURPH- Total so far ~ 8.7 miles

Leg #3: Run to NAFO 0600 – There will be little time for COT at Flight Plan for those on the #FunRun, so I may hand this off to someone staying behind.  We must get on our horses and head out to make the 5.5 miles to NAFO in 50 minutes before the MURPH starts. The route is down 160 and take a left on 21 and then a right on 460 to NAFO. – Total so far ~ 14.2 miles

Leg #4: The MURPH – 1 mile run, 100 pull ups, 200 push ups, 300 squats and a final 1 mile run. Ugh. So final total mileage ~ 16.2 miles

So join YHC to “modify” your typical day.

Thirty Nine men converged at Walter Elisha Park, and welcomed our brother Olive and the other Isotopes for a soggy Saturday beatdown.    After admonishing the Pax for their weak CAH snack contributions (74 individual snacks from 2 out of 39 people), the disclaimer was read and Socrates led us to the fields  Here is what we did:

Socrates at Q

Long warm up:
Side Straddle Hop
Windmills
Hillbilly Walkers
Peter Parkers
Parker Peters
Double mountain climbers

Upper/Whole Body/Core sequence:
Sequence 1:
A) Crawly Plyo Merkins
B) Wheelbarrows around playground. (Way longer than I thought it would be. Sorry about that!)
C) Knees pulls hanging from monkey bars

Sequence 2
A) Elevator Merkins
B) Partner Carry around playground
C) Leg raises as partner throw your feet down to ground

Sequence 3
A) Maximum Merkins while partner holds your feet (Walker got like 64 – dang)
B) 20 Burbees while partner does Al Gores.

Senator Tressel on Q 

Mosey back to the parking lot, pick up two bricks from the white VW, and head out to the trail.  Jog along the trail and stop at three stations:

All with bricks:

Station 1:  Morracon night clubs x 20

Station 2:  Man-maker merkin x 10  (8 count)

Station 3:  V-ups x 20

Mosey to the bottom of the hill and line up for mini Jacob’s Ladder

Three trips up and down the hill with 1 bombjack, 5 bombjack, and 10 bobjacks (all with bricks)

Mosey back to the field and circle up

Crunch presses with bricks x 20

Jack Webb  1:4 with brick.  We stopped at 8 (10 were planned….don’t Q it if you can’t……)

Form straight line facing Springs building and lunge walk/arm crossovers with bricks

Mosey back for COT

Today’s workout was dubbed the Olive-vergence in honor of our brother Olive from F3 Isotope.  Olive and his buddies from North Charlotte came to the Fort to see some friends,  and meet some of the brothers who supported him when a sudden tragedy hit his family two weeks ago.    So-crates and I did not plan for large number we had today, and we had our challenges – sopping wet grass, not enough bricks, and coralling 39 people.  But, as always, we made the best of it, and in the end,  it really didn’t matter.  The real purpose today was to be around someone who was hurting and help him forget the pain for at least a little while.

We say that F3 is more than a workout, and anyone who has been around F3 for more than a couple weeks, knows it’s true.  We have our great workouts, happy hours, family events, and bible studies.  But, it’s still more than that.  F3 is a band of brothers.  Brothers who have your back.  Brothers who are parents, and who are there for you, when the worst thing that a parent fears happens. Olive, know that we will keep praying for you and your family.  Your F3 family is here for you.

F3 Rock Hill AO The Thunderdome (Kettle bell) Launch PreBlast

Leave a comment
  • QIC: Catfish, Bogey
  • When: 5/24/16
  • Pax: All PAX
  • Posted In: The Fort

PAX!

The Rock Hill area has seen some great growth over the last two years. This growth has planted a boot camp AO on almost every day of the week! Each of these AO’s has their own personality, bringing unique pain options to every workout!! But they all have a common thread, they are all boot camps.

Well, it’s time for that to change! Coming to the Academy Sports parking lot off Dave Lyle is a kettle bell AO! This is the newest AO to Rock Hill F3’s arsenal and promises a vast campus for a good beat down!

With it being a kettle bell workout you can be guaranteed that it’ll suck, you will pick up heavy objects and hopefully you won’t be forced to cover miles carrying your man purse (hey, we can’t control everything the Q does!).

Each PAX will need to bring a kettle bell (dumb bells work too) to the AO. Check yard sales, flea markets, even Academy and find one just right for you! But I promise, if it’s pink or tiny there will be mumblechatter!

So, dust off that weight, climb out of the fartsack and come get stronger!

We’ll launch on 5/24/16 @ 0515 from here – https://goo.gl/maps/K63TtcY8y2y – with Dark Helmet on Q. He’s promised it’ll be brutal!

NMM

Today’s workout spelled PETRA. Petra is Greek for solid, immovable rock. We named this AO because we are Rock Hill and we are called to be the rock in our communities. In Matthew 7:24-27, Jesus said, “Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.”

If this week is any indication, the rains and winds in life will come. And when they do, how sturdy is your foundation? If your foundation is in Christ, your figurative home will prevail. If you foundation is on sinking sand, you will crash in a great heap. I encourage you to take the time to examine your foundation. If you have any questions, we have plenty of #HIM that can help fortify your base. Just ask; we’re here for you.

TClaps to Bogey for getting this AO off the ground and for pushing the PAX for 10 months. TClaps to Schrute for being the new Site Q and for the willingness to step out to lead this group of men to new heights. We have a good thing going in Rock Hill and it’s because of PAX like these two that we continue to impact our community like we do.

Nunchuck – Great job leading by example. We all notice your good form and appreciate your humbleness.

Red Fish – Glad to have you out for your first Petra workout. You may have been the smartest one wearing the long sleeves and beanie. I think the rest of us are still shivering from the rain.

JAG – #Respect! This guy is in better shape than most ex-pro athletes. Glad the judge is on our side.

Whitney – Getting stronger every day. Your effort is relentless and I’m proud of your tenacity.

Dawg Pound – Hope you enjoyed your first rainy beatdown. The fun is just amplified when it gets wet (no Bomb Jacks).

Apache – Always enjoyable to have F3Nation’s best mumblechatter master in the PAX.

Broteinshake – Thanks for joining us on this side of the county. Good to have you out with us.

Lil’ Bear – New name, MOGO – Moon’s Out, Guns Out. This guy says, “Sleeves? Who needs sleeves?”

Reborn – Our unofficial, official sweeper. Thanks for taking care of the 6

Burr – Awesome effort today! There’s no quit in you.

Dream House – Glad to have you back out. You’re looking more comfortable out there. We might have to turn up the pain a bit.

Hot Sauce – Someone is getting faster! I didn’t even have to push you today…you were at the front of the PAX.

Scrappy – Quickly becoming one of our regular posters. Thanks for your continued support.

Saw Dust – Its good to have you back in the fold. Don’t be a stranger…we’re ready to get you in the Q rotation.

Schrute – Great work again today at the front of the PAX. Guys are looking up to you and they have a great model to follow.

Drifter – I am so proud of the progress you have made since you started. Not only are you getting thinner and stronger, but you are sharing your passion with the rest of York County. Awesome work!

Bogey – Thanks for your example, Marine. Your 10 months as site Q really amplified Rock Hill’s expansion opportunities.

Dry Dock – I appreciate your passion and effort. We are expecting BIG things for York through men like you. Keep up the good work.

Samurai – #Respect! It’s always a pleasure to have you in the group. I think it’s time to get you on the Q schedule. When you speak, the PAX listens.

Turbine – You have to lay off those brussel sprouts. I’ve never seen a man clear a group out that fast!

Stang – Always a pleasure to have you across the river. Shout out for the selfless act at Bibles ‘N Biscuits this morning. Your heart for people is such a blessing. Thanks for doing what you know is the right thing.

Catfish – We don’t give you enough credit for the encouragement you give. Thanks for staying with the 6 and for showing us what a true servant leader looks like.

As always, today was a pleasure. I always enjoy leading at Petra and I appreciate the opportunity. Read your newsletter for announcements. Continue to lift up our brothers going through the loss of a loved ones (Roxanne), seniors as they graduate (Samurai’s 2.0), Bill Nye’s new baby, and all those with unspoken requests. Lift each other up every day and be the change you want to see in the world.

Aye!

Italian Job
