  • BLIMPS, BLIMPS and BLIMPS – from Rudy

    Just like the title said, 4 PAX (2 on-time, 2 rolling in hot) joined YHC for a morning of BLIMPS at Okwata.

    Blimps 1: A Ladder. Starting on top of the levee with 5 burpees. Run down and back up. 5 Burpees, 10 Lunges. Down and Up. Keep adding the rest of the IMPS.

    Respite with 4 minutes of Quadrophelia

    Mosey to Canal

    Blimps 2: 5 Burpees on top, 5 more down at the stop sign. Run back to the top. Lunges on top and bottom. Back up. Keep adding the rest of the IMPS.

    Mosey across the street

    Blimps 3: Alternate Bear Crawl and Mosey, a traditional BLIMPS using the lightposts. Got back to the starting point about 30 seconds late.

    COT with announcements (lots of upcoming runs and events) and intentions.

  • Praying for a Pickle by Piccadilly – from Goose

    It was a beautiful and perfect morning at the Pelch as YHC anxiously arrived to deliver good long overdue VQ. If any of you have listened to the podcast on the first Q webpage, link will be at the bottom, I’m the guy he speaks of at the end. I’ve been coming to F3 for some time now and never had my Virgin Q, I allowed it to get in my head and I kept pushing it away for no good reason. Like me, I hope the PAX that attended enjoyed our time together this morning as much as I did.

    Thanks to Enron for the drawing board, Tana for the cones and SONOS for the gut shot as she decided to not wake up this morning. She’ll be back to redeem herself…promise you that. As I got over SONOS not connecting, I wiped the tear from my eye and gathered the PAX to get started. It was also a pleasant surprise to have G.I. Joe grace us with his presence this morning. For many of us that was our first beatdown together. Enjoy suffering in the soreness tomorrow with me!!

    Warm o Rama –
    SSH
    Arm circles
    Cherry pickers
    Grass grabbers with clap
    Self love
    High knees
    Butt kicks

    Indian run to thunder dome…start EMOM timer-5 kraken burpees at every 5 minute interval.

    As YHC dealt with covid this past week, he completely fell off the wagon with Exodus 90 as he didn’t want to add any more suffering to the misery. I now wish I would have sucked it up buttercup. The evil one has no boundaries when it comes to him battling to separate us from the LORD! I needed this song and the PAX to suffer with me during it to get me back on track…

    Thang #1 Kraken burpees= burpee with 3 hand release push ups at the bottom

    Come Follow Me – Brother Isaiah 5:20
    Air squats during verse-1st half song
    Kraken burpees during chorus
    Plank during verse-2nd half

    Mosey to field…

    Thang #2 – BC=bear crawl, KE=karaoke

    Introduction to one of my favorite sports, acronyms to bring the pain. My intention was to do 2 rounds of this but time didn’t allow. It was delightful yet painful as YJ respectfully reminded those, including me, of our impeccable form during this session.

    P-20 pickle pounders BC 10 yds Nur back
    I-10 inch worms KE 20 yds Nur back
    C-10 captain Thors 1BBS 4 American hammers/2 is 1, 30 yds BC Nur back
    K-10 kraken burpees 40 yds KE Nur back
    L-20 LBC 50 yds BC Nur back
    E-empty wheelbarrows, partner up, crabwalk w partner holding feet up 60 yds KE
    B-20 Bonnie Blair’s 70 yds KE Nur
    A-20 air squats 80 yds KE Nur
    L-lunges 90 yds Nur back
    L-5 LL Cool J’s alternating lunges burpee then jump squat KE Nur

    Mosey to tennis court…

    Thang #3

    A little teaser to the sport that no other sport has come close to the amount of fun PICKLEBALL delivers. I hope to find time in the future to play again with the PAX.

    Group 1&2
    Pickleball rally points to 3
    Winner 5 burpees, loser court suicides
    If you weren’t playing you were planking.

    Thanks for the support and comradery as we sledged through Dilly’s VQ! I look forward to future Qs bring out in me and the PAX!!

  • The Figure 8 – from Thighs

    Today’s workout we mosey-ed to the auditorium to run up and down the stairs in an almost figure 8-like pattern with a set of workouts at the top and bottom of each flight of stairs.

    We started the beat down with a warmup:

    Mosey around the block
    15x Jumping Jacks
    7x Self Loves
    10x Sun Gods
    7x Windmills
    7x Cherry Pickers
    7x In Tempo Merkins
    7x Toe Touches
    7x Peter Parkers
    7x Squats
    7x Tempo Squats

    Then we Mosey-ed to the auditorium to do our Figure 8:
    8 Rounds
    8x reverse ab swings
    8x Merkins
    8x Flutter Kicks
    8x Diamond Merkins
    8x Hello Dollies
    8x Hand Release Merkins

    Even though we went really fast thru the Figure 8, it still took most of the time.

    We ended the workout with a AMRAP:
    4 rounds of 60 secs and a 30 sec break
    5x Catcher Burpees
    5x Plank Jacks
    5x Tricep Merkins
    5x Knee Touches

    I still haven’t figured out if all the sweat is from the workout, or just how hot it has become lately.

    We closed out with the usual close out, sending us off with a prayer.

    Looking forward to next time!

  • Mountain of BLIMPS – from Fracsac

    YHC attended a BLIMP themed Q courtesy of Rudy at Okwata and felt it appropriate to share the love at Wisner Mountain.

  • Pursuit of Joy VQ by Smooth Operator – from Lil Cuz

    Today I showed up to a couple PAX already standing by Aslan talking amongst themselves as Goose and Kilmer were doing an F3 shirt swap which I didn’t know was a thing until this morning. That’s right, we didn’t scare Kilmer away, so I guess we are doing something right. We had 8 PAX in attendance for my first crack at this Qing thing. So, let’s get started.

    Warm up
    -SSH 12
    -Windmills 12
    -Grass grabbers with the clap 12
    -arm circles forward and reverse 12
    -mountain climbers 12

    Honestly YHC thought that this was the hardest part. Apparently saying a couple phrases and basic arithmetic causes me to struggle, but the PAX coached me up and got me through it. Thanks guys.

    After we finished the dreaded warm ups, we moseyed down to the baseball field outfield fence. From here we discussed the first issue I had been having. A couple weeks ago Paradox talked about the differences between happiness and joy which made me realize there are three categories of happiness. From here we talked about the first category temporarily gratification. A couple examples that were used are, alcohol, drugs, pizza, random hook ups that kind of thing. These are temporary modes of pleasure and should not be something we base our lives around. Which we will get to later.

    Thang 1
    Alright, so the first things I had the PAXs had to do was find a section of 5ft chain link fence that looked suitable for holding their weight because we would be going over this fence. YHC figured that’s when the examples of temporary gratification popped up in his younger years there always seemed to be a fence that had to be jumped to keep from getting in trouble. YHC also figured quite a few of the PAX in attendance had similar experiences. Back to the thang, the Pax would be going up and over the fence and performing 11 Derkins, they would then be going back over the fence and completing 10 more Derkins, this would continue down to 7. 45 total Derkins we’re supposed to be completed but I forgot to mention to stop after 7 so the PAX got a little more shoulder and chest work in. After this we completed the same work out but with squats. From here YHC called it, and we moseyed down to the basketball court.

    Thang 2 was temporarily interrupted by the condition of the basketball court which was littered with trash. The decision was made to take a quick break from the beatdown and be men of action to pick up all the trash in the area. Once this was completed, we had a quick short discussion on what could happen if we get addicted to temporary gratification. From here YHC had 5 suicides on the books for the PAX to complete but due to the cleanup operation. YHC decided to knock it down to 3 suicides which was plenty hard enough.

    Thang 2
    Suicides
    These suicides were performed exactly as YHC remembered them going as a teenager. The PAX would start at one baseline and sprint to the closest free throw line and run back to the initial baseline. From here Pax would run to the half court line and then back to the baseline. After we headed on down to the opposite free throw line and back to the baseline. From here we ran down to the opposite baseline and back. That completed one suicide and we knocked out three.

    After this we moseyed down to the stairs on the front of the civic center. About halfway there, YHC almost got to see his bean and cheese enchiladas that he had for supper the night before. But we pushed on to the towering staircases.

    Once at the stair cases, we jumped straight into the thang instead of discussing a more permanent happiness due to our eagerness for more shared suffering.

    Thang 3
    The work out was rocky balboa’s which involved two PAX standing on the bottom of the staircase with one foot on the bottom step and the other on the concrete. They would alternate feet repeatedly until the next two Pax inline completed their timer exercises, which happened to be 10 burpees. The rest of the PAX would be doing planks at this time. After the timers went off the PAX doing balboas would sprint up the stairs and down the adjacent staircase and would be performing Al Gores until completion.
    Upon completion, YHC had the PAX repeat exercise except the stair work out was box jumps which was both feet on ground then both feet on the stairs jumping back and forth until the timer went off.

    After the completion of the exercise we then had a discussion on a more permanent happiness with examples such as, Listening to good music, traveling, art, finding the right kinda friends. And then we moseyed back to Aslan.

    Once at Aslan, we discussed transcending joy with examples such as, finding a good life partner, bringing kids into the world, finding and maintaining a relationship with the Big Man.

    Thang 4
    Thang 4 required YHC to acquire some tech support from Goose and Kilmer but since my 10 year old Milwaukee job site radio works when it wants. We did the first song a classic Rocket Man by Elton John by just iPhone sound, and it didn’t have the effect YHC was hoping for.

    So we push along through the tech issues and planked during the duration of the song and did half burpees when the words high, long, and man came up in the song. It should have been about 40 half burpees but it was hard to hear with the passing traffic.

    After this Goose and Kilmer got the radio working and we completed the next song workout as YHC intended. The next song was Last dance with Mary Jane by Tom Petty. We did LBC throughout song and big boy sit-ups when ole Tom referred to himself or Mary Jane which should have been around 30 big boy sit ups. The kicker was holding 6” during the instrumental portions. YHC called it at 0600 on the dot. It was quite a sight to see all the sweat prints on the concrete.

    After this we had COT during which Cardinal aka the animal picked Tana to be the next animal due to his quiet Ragnar like abilities to kick this beatdowns butt. Yankee Joe used his eloquent impromptu praying abilities and prayed us out. Thanks to all the PAX for coming out, that was one fun train wreck of a beatdown, and I learned a lot. Hopefully Monday will be even better.
    See y’all in the gloom,
    Smooth Operator

    Side note: Cardinal said it best “don’t settle for fleeting happiness but seek enduring joy”. This animal truly gets it.

  • How To Bear Your Soul – from Yankee Joe

    YHC showed up to the stage for his first Tuesday Tuff Q. The occasion was marked with nine PAX, including Kilmer DR’ing from the exotic land of dying college basketball regimes – Raleigh, NC (though he’s actually from Carey). He definitely brought some much needed and appreciated energy.

    Warm-up
    – Side straddle hops
    – Windmills
    – OG Grassgrabbers
    – Arm circles forward
    – Arm circles backward
    – Cherry pickers
    – Self love
    – High knees
    – Butt kicks
    – Mountain climbers
    – Bumper mosey

    Honestly, YHC had no idea what to do for his first Tuesday Tuff beatdown. By 8:30 pm the night before, while in a meeting, he knew time was up. The pre-blast hype GIF’s had to go out. YHC panicked. He looked around. Nothing. Then he remembered a theme he had been playing around with as his manniversary approached.

    Ok, hold on. Let me back up. F3 is an interesting concept. It’s premise bears special attention. On one hand, you are voluntarily suffering through what seems unbearable. In almost all cases, rookie for veteran, you bearly make it to the end of a particular exercise. The camaraderie is powerful, but the expectations can be overbearing. The real power kicks in when you are convinced you can no longer bear it. To give up would be unbearable. So…you have only one Singletary choice. You bear your teeth and crawl on. There is much to be learned from our forbearers as they bear the torch of humility and forebearance. Your arrogance is left threadbear as fellow PAX come bearfoot, bearfaced, bearchested (embearassing for some), and bearhanded (except for a few hand models). We give each other manly bearhugs and vicious bearberries. In short, we grin and bear it.

    So, as it is now probably obvious, YHC’s theme centered around not eating spicy food the night before a beatdown.

    C’mon…seriously…It’s about bears (so now you know YHC can actually spell…you got it. Good job. Good for you.). Though food choices prior to beatdowns is a serious matter and should be taken up at the F3 Senior Leadership Team level, if not nationally. What Goats and Enron are capable of manifesting in this particular arena is concerning even for a bear.

    So, we did bear crawling for 35 minutes with intermittent merkin and core exercises spread throughout. It was beary beary nasty.

    ————————————-
    The First Thangggg

    Paddington Bear

    As we all know, Paddington was shipped off to England by his Aunt Lucy from “Darkest Peru” with a sign that read, “Please look after this bear. Thank you.” Goose answered that piece of trivia correctly, saving the PAX five burps.

    The Brown Family finds Paddington sitting on a suitcase in a railway station in Paddington, England. They can’t understand his Peruvian name, so they call him Paddington. We can all relate. When I first met Paradox, I had no idea what language was falling out of his mouth. For the first few weeks, I thought his name was Fart Knocks.

    To emulate this enormous literary moment in history, we set out to find Paddington.

    – One PAX lunges to the marker, then the remaining PAX bear crawl to the marker to “find Paddington.” PAX then bring Paddington home, all bear crawling back to start. Paddington, while waiting in the station (marker), is sitting on his suitcase. But since we don’t have a suitcase, Paddington held Al Gore while waiting for the PAX to come get him.

    – Next single PAX lunges to marker while remaining PAX hold plank, then repeat until each Paddington has been found and brought home. In all, each PAX bear crawled 255 yards. Yo, at the age of 60, Kilmer was dominating…it was crazy. He even had enough wind to throw out some chatter about “Damn” Yankee Joe and why it didn’t make sense that the Brown Family would be bear crawling if they weren’t bears. YHC was too winded to retort at the time.

    Also, T-Claps to French Horn, who in just a few weeks, has caught his stride and is hanging with the elites such as Goose, Enron, and Paradox.
    ————————————-
    The Second Thangggg

    Winnie the pooh

    Winnie the Pooh
    Winnie the Pooh
    Tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff
    He’s Winnie the Pooh
    Winnie the Pooh
    Willy nilly silly old bear

    Always getting into the honey pot, Pooh Bear just can’t keep from getting his head stuck. Like Montana in Wing Stop 30 piece wing combo box (lemon pepper of all things), we had to get Pooh’s head unstuck, while also attacking some of that ‘tubby little chubby fluff’.

    – Bear crawl 360 clockwise to marker, 100 LBCs (for the 100-acre wood, of course)
    – Bear crawl 360 counterclockwise back to start, 100 pickle pounders

    Here, Kilmer raised the pickle pounder bar (I dare you, Michael), encouraging the PAX with noises that truly justified the “respect” during nam-o-rama. Smooth Operator, not to be outdone, showed us why he’s the “diamond life, lover boy.”

    —————————————–
    The Third Thangggg

    The Yogi Bear Circuit

    Of course, we can’t have a bear themed beatdown without our ever foraging for a pic-a-nic basket, Yogi. To honor this great historical and significant bear, we utilized the six pic-a-nic tables at The Stage. Each table would increase in increments of 10 with a designated exercise (i.e. 10 Derkins, 20 incline dancing chilcutts, 30 creature merkins, etc.

    But how will we get from table to table? Well, my friends, the Exicon delivers again. Who was Yogi’s best friend? You got it. The Boo Boo Bear Crawl. A bear crawl using only ONE LEG. God, I love this shizz.

    It goes a little something like this…
    – Boo boo bear crawl to first picnic table, 10 derkins
    – Boo boo bear crawl to second picnic table, 20 dancing incline chilcutts 2:1
    – Boo boo bear crawl to third picnic table, 30 creature merkins
    – Boo boo bear crawl to fourth picnic table, 40 leg ups 1:1
    – Boo boo bear crawl to fifth picnic table, 50 freak nasty’s
    – Boo boo bear crawl to sixth picnic table, 60 incline merkins

    Unfortunately, after table 3 (30 creature merkins), YHC had to call an audible based on PAX logistics as well as time. So, instead, we finished with:

    40 yard Boo Boo Bear Crawl, switching legs at each picnic table back to the flag. Once you reach the flag, 100 merkins or fail. This would take the last three minutes of the beatdown. It. Was. AWESOME. Goose was the only PAX to hit 100, but we’re pretty sure Enron did too, but he forgot to count. Imagine that…a financial advisor that forgets to count. I’m sure it gives his PAX clients great confidence considering his F3 name. But what do I know? I’m just a Marketing guy, and we don’t do maff.

    COT and Smooth Operator prayed us out. His prayer was short and powerful.

    “Dear Lord, thank you for letting us be warriors for you today. Amen.” Should be the F3 official prayer, in my opinion.

    Next stop…Manniversary

    SYITG,

    (Damn) Yankee Joe

  • Don’t wait – Let’s Geaux – from Mahatma

    Typically Monday…..Blessed to be up for the start of a new week happy to be headed to the real RC. Pulled up 1 minute to spare walked into the bullpen and saw the look of something missing…..who’s the Q! Snooze but he’s a no show, who’s taking it – all it took was 3 seconds of silent indecision – it’s now 5:31 I’m Mahatma and your Q “Let’s Geaux”! To which there was well what about…..too late we were on the move to the rock pile.

    Circle up – pax community round robin warm up: most was the usual stuff yet one stood out by Kenabrah a combination of Imperial Squat Hillbilly FAILURE yet to his credit you don’t succeed without them. Triple shift had Tenderloin attempting one the warm ups which took him another 3 to get up from. Yet again success through making the effort out of a comfort zone.

    Everyone get a medium rock then mosey to the tree field – line up, everyone Kong to the other side. So many pax just love the idea that the original Kong is similar to “murder bunnies” come on man!!!

    Mosey to the front of the gym – everyone was warmed up now.

    Let’s Geaux
    40 OHP then drop your rock and head to the wall and perform 5 pecker to the wall hand stands
    Lap around the gym
    30 squats – 4 pecker to the wall HS
    Lap around
    20 front raises – 3 P to the wall HS
    Lap around
    10 man makers (Charmin is still trying to figure that out) – 2 P2TWHS
    Lap
    As Pax completed join in for rock mary
    ** while the above took place TripleShift and Kenabrah were inspiring Tenderloin to turn over a new mental leaf

    Pax on the wall 3 rounds of running man to sitting wall air press

    Rtn rocks

    2 – 3 rounds of Mary

    Head to the flag

    COT

  • Apple Turnover Extravaganza – from T-Square

    The mildly humid air was just right for this apple turnover inspired beatdown with Vagabond (t-claps for rounding up the troops!), Willie, Fracsac, & our visiting pax, Choot’em from downrange in Katy, TX!

    After a brief warm-up lap, stretching, and some four OYO 4×4’s, we dug into the main course.

    The setup: cones spaced every ~12 feet for about 40 yards
    The Thang:
    Apple Turnover – two times – single file starting at cone 1, bear crawl to cone 2, crabwalk to cone 3, bear crawl to cone 4, and so on till reaching the canon. Then jog another 30 yards to the Gretna seal, wait for the 6 then sprinkle in a core exercise (listed below). Rinse and repeat once before the next dish.

    Fritters – two times – (similar to Apple Turnover, but change up the alternating exercises to Lunge Walk & Burpee Broad jump) Then jog another 30 yards for some core exercise. Rinse and repeat once before the next dish.

    Sliders – two times – (you get the idea… the two alternating exercises: Karaoke for two cone spacings then Wojo for one cone spacing, alternating down the line of cones). Jog another 30 yards for some core exercise. Rinse and repeat once before the next dish.

    Pop Tart – two times – the two alternating exercises: High Knees & Bear Crawl (alternating down the line of cones). Jog another 30 yards for some core exercise.

    Core exercises at the Gretna seal – changed it up each lap:
    4 count Merkins x15
    4 count dying cockroach x15
    4 count hello dolly x15
    50 OYO LBCs
    4 count windshield wipers x10
    4 count flutter kicks x15
    Echo count straight leg lifts x30
    60 second plank

    At the end, we wrapped up with a 2-½ min Suck-it – Aiken Legs: OYO rinse & repeat 20 step ups, 20 squats, 20 lunges, 20 split jacks (rinse & repeat to the buzzer).

    Last but not least – Lazy Boys – echo count – straight back for 15, then left 10 and right 10.

  • The Big Shamrock’s Birthday Bash – from Lil Cuz

    As I’m sure many of you are aware, today is a very special day. Today we celebrate the birth of Big Shamrock himself. AKA Hobo Master, AKA The Big Banana, AKA The Big Galactus,
    AKA Witness Protection, AKA Manny Shaq-Iaou, AKA MayorMcShaq,or more commonly
    known as Shaquille O’Neal AKA Shaq.

    Typical Warm up with the added blessing of a Cajun recipe shared by Enron that got all Pax riled up wanting to know how to make Fake Turtle Soup. Crowd went wild as he explained the intricacies of such a delicacy that most of the circle couldn’t help but dry heave as he blasted the remnants from last night across everyone’s assaulted nostrils. Mouths were open…

    Thang 1:

    Trivia Questions:
    If Correct – 34 – Freddy Mercs (2:1), or Flutter Kicks (2:1), or LBC’s (1:1)

    – Worst New Star
    – Worst Actor
    – Worst Supporting Actor

    Honestly expected going into this portion we would have way more ab type workouts to do and instead we did so many more squats which would prove to be detrimental once we got to Thang 3…more on that later. Enron has got his best CPA co-workers on the calculations as we got reminded this morning math is not his strong suit, and Dox sent his wife to brainstorm with the other doctors as they are all hard at work calculating the exact number of squats performed this morning. We all wait with sore quads in anticipation to know how manly our legs will be tomorrow morning upon waking up. Word is Goose has gone home to study for Kobe Bryant’s birthday to be better prepared come August. Now with our fresh knowledge that will definitely be on the test at the end of the semester, we moved into our training and competition.

    Thang 2: Cone Dribbling Drill
    1. Each Pax on a team must dribble through the cone course and return back to the team then the next pax can go.
    2. While the Pax is dribbling the rest of the team will do various workouts until Dribbling
    Pax is done.

    1. SSH (1:1)
    2. Flutter Kicks (2:1)
    3. Squats (1:1)
    4. LBCs (1:1)
    5. Al Gore (1:1)
    6. 6” Inch hold (1:1)

    Team wins when each team member has dribbled twice through the course. Winning team
    receives nothing but props for being better ball handlers than the other team. Side Note: YHC neglected to mention that this was a race until near the second lap and this probably is the reason Team 2 lost. No excuses though, Team 2 just needs to start dribbling practice for Big Shamrock’s Birthday next year. First practice is Wednesday at 9pm after kids go to bed. See you guys at the Lion’s Den. Team 1, find your own place to practice!

    Thang 3: 11’s
    Burpee (1:1)
    – Mosey with #1’s pointing to Sky to opposite Sidewalk
    Apolo Ohnos (2:1)
    – Nur Back with Hand held up like after just making 1st (and only) Career 3-
    pointer

    This portion was simply put here to make sure all the whoopers could show their strain to the rest of the world. Looking forward to those screen shots fellas. Also, all those incorrect answers and squats really piled on to make this thang increasingly difficult. The ANIMAL himself recognized another ANIMAL in his midst and I believe it was the grit and determination Cardinal showed to complete this monster of strain pushed him over the edge to be gifted the peeled back sweat covered shirt off Smooth and is Monday’s ANIMAL. (Which will be gifted on Thursday due to unforeseen conflicts for a Tuesday Tuff).

    4MOM potlock style with Goose throwing in the crowd favorite Dr. W’s and Dox finishing us
    off with his ever famous Dolphin Hops. Gotta love em! (Cuz we do them so much).

    COT and Paradox prayed us out!
    Great Birthday celebration today fellas, and thanks for putting up with Enron’s fake turtle soup recipe long enough to get through another beatdown.

    SYITG,

    Lil’ Cuz, AKA Cuz Master, AKA The Big CUZ, AKA, Manny Cuz-Iaou, AKA MayerMcCuz,
    or more commonly known as Cuz.
