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 …
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, …
There we were, gathered in the 73 degree gloom, preparing for pedo-strata combat like a small band of wearily tremulous skirmishers, ready to embark on Part 1 of, what would be for some, a 2-part F3 kind of day. The insights were keen, though the conversations garrulous as, with the …
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 …

There wee 2 weeks of beat downs at G-ma’s House the past 2 weeks, YHC cued both of these, but failed to inform the pax. Last Tuesday, (7/24) chewy and bubba met for some jumping of the rope, 1/4 runs, and various exercises of the single leg persuasion. this past …
short disclaimer … warm up: We did a lot. moseyed to the Taj-Mahal: We did some more. moseyed to the St.Tammany Parish Courthouse Parking Garage: We did some more stuff. We sweated a lot. Maverick never arrived. count-o-rama, Shooter did the prayer. Everyone who missed it, should have been there. …
Well after cleaning court, the pax started to roll in excited to see four of my F3 brothers come for the Beatdown. warm ups 25 side straddle hops 25 toe touches 25 Imperial walkers 25 mountain climbers The Thang Head over to some soft ground. 50/35/15 = 100 three sets …
