“I was in solitary confinement when my captors offered to release me. I knew why. If I went home, they would use it as propaganda to demoralize my fellow prisoners…I wasn’t in great shape, and I missed everything about America. But I turned it down. A lot of prisoners had …
Six PAX gathered in the Gloom at The Gipper this morning to tackle the fourth and final week of the IronPAXChallenge. Anticipating that this installment of the Challenge would be tough to complete in our scheduled 45 minutes, YHC called for an early COT. Countorama, nameorama and a short prayer …
One look at Greenville’s Iron Pax Challenge posting for this week, and YHC felt weak in the knees. 50 pullups?? Then do a bunch of stuff and do 50 more pullups??? I really love F3 and how much stronger and more fit it has gotten me, but I had no illusions …
Do not count the days. Make the days count -Muhammad Ali That being said, it has been around 365 days since Ben Todd showed up to the Mandeville lakefront to see what this F3 thing he had been told about was exactly. Uncomfortably out of place and uninitiated, he stood …
Nine pax posted last night for our evening workout and F2. We passed the Q from pax to pax throughout the workout in what turned out to be a memorable beat down as the sun set. Throughout four circles of pain the pax went through several warm up exercises, merkins, …

With coupon assistance provided by the Northshore’s unquestionable leader Turbo, 7 men posted at the Gipper this Gloom to complete week 3 of F3 Greenwood’s ISI challenge… By far this weeks challenge in the mind and body of the YHC has proven to be the toughest.. But like any other …
Some of us have the God-given ability to sweat rivulettes of salty, man-musky, liquid WORK. For others, to reach such epic proportions of perspiration it requires a beatdown from above…or at least a little further north – say, South Carolina and the Iron PAX Challenge. As a disclaimer, there was …
We were all FNGs once…BUT….IF….you’ve been an F3 Northshore FNG recently, making your first post at the most logical AO, the Mandeville Lakefront, you’ve experienced some extreme H8 from on-Q-high. Of course, I would never mention any Qs by name…but a few nicknames come to mind: Turbo (extreme H8), Maverick (he called it “a …
There were no FNGs at The Gipper this morning. If there had been, YHC would have named the first one Smuckers. Because his arms and legs and the rest of his body for that matter would have felt like jelly. F3 Greenwood must have it in for the rest of …
