Ever since I was a little boy, I’ve dreamt of this day… For as long as I can remember, a group of sweaty guys with funny names have done nothing but tell me how much they hate me. But not today! Today marks the start of a new era.
The new era began as you might expect… It was a dark, wet morning when 27 men trudged out to the entrance of Audubon Park. 25 came for the Beatdown. 2 came to do their homework, I think – they were wearing their book bags, so it only makes sense.
After a quick disclaimer, we moseyed to the base of Wolf Pack Mountain…
Warm Up
- SSH x 25 (Apparently I was supposed to do 30. Some people were very upset that I didn’t. I think, specifically, El Wire’s day is all out of wack as a result. He’s somewhere searching for 5 more SSH’s.)
- Low Slow Squats x 15
- Windmills x 10
- Peter Parkers x 20
- Arm Circles Forward x 10
- 01 x drawkcab selcric mrA (Seaman gets excited)
- Burpees x 10 OYO (Seaman gets sad)
Mosey to 2nd Floor of Mountain via Stairs
- Burpee Broad Jump up first incline
- Lunge across level stretch
- Run backward up next incline
- Bear Crawl across next level stretch
- Take stairs back down to base for Varied Mary until all Pax arrive

Mosey Back to Flag

It’s pretty amazing to look back… I started posting when I was 26 years old. Over the years, the most impactful outcomes F3 has produced for me are definitely the relationships I’ve been fortunate enough to develop. I’ve gained friends and mentors, men that I truly look up to for a long list of reasons. F3 has given me the blueprint for what it means to be an exceptional member of our community and I’m continuously inspired by the what I see – both during and outside of the workouts.
Thank you to all of the men that have helped to create and grow this incredible movement in New Orleans. No more hate! And nothing but love for F3.
