Halfway to 70
Can’t think of a better way to spend the day after my birthday than getting sweaty with a bunch of dudes. I never thought I would feel better at 35 than I did at 25. I owe it all to F3 and all of you guys for giving me a …

Slogging with the Best
PAX think that YHC doesn’t like to mosey. Well, they’re mostly right, because it sux. Anyway, you gotta keep the PAX on their game. So JV-style (not too extreme, nothing Mariah- or Bieber-like), today’s wet and soggy Birdcage includes moseying. I mean it’s wet out there; might as well enjoy …
The Summer Packet of Backblasts
Much like my kids summer work for school some things are just hard to get done and 1/2-assed when they do get done. Apologies to school teachers and thorough backblast authors. Warm-up: Not really sure anymore. Combination of jacks and maybe grass grabbers. Warm up 2.0: Jog-sprint combo through the …
Cool Front in July???
19 strong PAX showed up on Wednesday morning with a surprise. At 75 degrees with low humidity in the middle of a brutal summer, meteorologists called it a cool front. PAX will take whatever weather Sky Q gives them. Reluctant Yankee showed up late, but he eventually found the PAX …
Hello Ladies
“You guys make me so happy” – lady in the park “So many men and so little time” – lady at PJs “Go to the monkey bar, that’s where she stops….I’d pay to have her body slam me.” – Angie’s List urban dictionary – hello ladies what u say when …
Gnarly Nutria IV The Uptown Funk
YHC began Wednesday morning like any other Wednesday morning with a quality 45 minute beatdown at Popeyes (this Wednesday led by the always dangerous Darkwing Duck). YHC’s thoughts quickly turned to the Gnarly Nutria as a nutria was spotted by Hokie Pokey running in the grass near the Pax. YHC …
Braving the Mountain through the Harsh Mist and Drizzle
Although lightning and thunder was forecast for Friday morning, the city of New Orleans was lucky to avoid the worst, especially after Wednesday. So 31 PAX gathered on a gloomy, humid, damp Friday morning intent on running some ramps in a parking lot for no reason other than the fact …
Fly and Die
Gnarly little beatdown planned to work the heartrate in preparation for the Gnarly Nutria. Some highlights: Gatsby’s 2.0 Flying on the flats and dying on the Stairs, Angie’s List’s colon blowouts, El Wire’s hand signal at the video breakdown, the random plastic buckets at the top of WPM, the heat …
Midsummer Beatdown
The idea of striving to become the best version of one’s self daily is not a new concept. Embarking on that goal through F3 Beatdowns takes that idea to another level. Every breath I take in a Beatdown is partnered with a sense of humility and camaraderie that I have …
Disobeying the Book of Revit
Rule #1: No burpees on Mondays Over 20 PAX gathered on a not-so-gloomy morning to hear a half-assed disclaimer by the Q. With a mosey over to the bandstand, a brief warm-up COP: SSH x20, Seal-Jacks X20, Arm circles forward X12, backwards X only 10, moroccan dance clubs x10, IW …
