I returned to F3 a few times once March’s initial quarantine was lifted. And it was awesome. But over the summer, I found myself in a tough and unexpected professional situation where I had to make some very hard, public decisions related to the pandemic. And given those decisions, I haven’t felt right venturing outContinueContinue reading “This was special.”

We will celebrate the Fourth of July tomorrow the only way I know how to at F3. By working out, playing Burpee Football, and having a cold one. Happy Fourth, everyone. Be safe.

Headed back to Pleasantville in the AM. Bring a coupon. We will make good use of it. Let’s roll. 0530. Norton Commons Amphitheater. SYITG.  

Im calling the 1:00 VBO “Afternoon Delight” until someone makes me stop. Warmed up with IWs, GGs, planks, runner stretches, and yoga poses. Thang One: the Eastern HS football coach posted this workout on Twitter. 5 exercises, (for me, that was burpees, merkins, left arm rows, right arm rows, weighted squats). 10 10 reps each,ContinueContinue reading “Afternoon Delight 4/10”

I need to get out of the house, and I haven’t been on a proper ruck in too long. So, we’re going to try this. We’re doing a virtual ruck on Thursday night, followed by a virtual happy hour.  Start point: your front door. Endex: your front door. Before Thursday night: download the zoom appContinueContinue reading “Virtual Ruck Night Thursday April 9”

Retainer (Q), Potter, Frankenbaby, Jewel Told everyone in the preblast to bring a light weight, heavy weight, and a bench or something else to step up on. Started with a 5 minute COP warmup alternating traditional F3 workouts with pushups. Then did this circuit: 2 minutes each, AMRAP: (1) Overhead presses with light weight; (2)ContinueContinue reading “Zoom Heavy BB”

I’m taking the first Heavy Zoom Q on Tuesday morning. The link is here: https://zoom.us/j/152839532 Please try to bring three things that should be easy to find in your home: a light weight, a heavy weight, and something to step on. For example, I’m bringing a 30 pound coupon from my garage, a 5 gallonContinueContinue reading “Heavy Zoom on Tuesday”

Posh will be open on 3/25 at 0530. We will run. Trail shoes encouraged. We will distance. 10 feet apart at all times. If we do not distance, there will be punishment. If you can handle it, SYITG.

I’m getting paranoid, and so we were very cautious. 10 feet apart the entire morning. Violet Vincent (R) Flounder Tammy Faye Baker Russdiculous Handbook Retainer (Q) Disclaimer and COP,  including SSHs, merkins, GGs, merkins, Toy Soldiers, merkins, IWs, merkins, and 2 minutes of runner stretches.

Viking asked me to Co-Q a ruck with him last December when OJ was organizing the 2020 Ruck Q Calendar. Why the hell not? This will be fun. When we met at Brownies last month to plan, this guy whipped out a laptop with a list of 12 different themes and strategies for the nightContinueContinue reading “SLASHERRUCK BB”

Lace ’em up boys. We are going to take a stroll around the Garden on Tuesday morning. Nothing too heavy. But lots of things real fast. I ran this Q at the County last fall. This will be fun. 0530. Garden. Run Heavy. SYITG.

Retainer’s coming in hot for the Heavy Foundry at the County on Wednesday. Come say hello to Phyllis, Gladys, and the rest of the Bridge Club. Get ready to lift. And carry. And carry some more. 0530. SYITG.

YHC has been injured and out of the gloom this week. I can’t run, so that means you’re not running. Instead, we’ll make our way to the coupon pile and do as much havoc with them as we can for 45 minutes. I love the Chopper. This will be fun. 0530. SYITG.  

Get out to Norton Commons in the morning. It might feel cold when we get started, but you’ll be shedding layers by the end. I’ve got a few new tricks up my sleeve. You won’t want to miss it. SYITG.

Let’s help get those numbers up, and let’s wear green tomorrow. I’ve got a bum leg, so I grabbed a Q to do something with zero cardio. Coupons are coming, with a possible appearance from Phyllis and Gladys. We start at 05:15 at Douglas Hills. SYITG.

Tomorrow morning at Posh we’re running to Pope Lick and back. If you slap the Gheens Lodge, slap the bathrooms at Pope Lick, and then slap the Gheens Lodge again, you’ve run 8 miles. I’ve got 5 HC’s already. Who else is in? 0530. Let’s roll.

Backblast from the Birthday Q at the Garden on 12/19 Flounder Fructose Uncle Rico Catfish Retainer QIC Nino (Fartsack) No real reason to bust Nino’s chops here except we mentioned we hadn’t seen him at the Garden in a while and Flounder thought it would be funny. Started with a COP of 25 SSHs, 20ContinueContinue reading “Very Gardeny 12/19 BB”

Tomorrow’s my birthday, and I only want two things: 1. a whole bunch of used sleeping bags for Jitterbug’s Wayside F3 drive; and 2. a bunch of friends to do a hundred bodybuilders with. Come out to the Garden tomorrow and bring me my gifts. We’ll stay off the grass. 0530. SYITG.

North Posh 12/16/19 BB. Pax: Huggies, Carlton, Retainer (QIC) We love doing ladders in F3, where we gradually add one exercise to a list of exercises, with each round separated by a sprint. Since North Posh is run-heavy, I thought we’d run a reverse ladder and do rounds of just one exercise, with each roundContinueContinue reading “Beastmode Backblast”
