    Sometimes YHC just feels old and hearing the ages of the guys in our group this morning (Most 42) reminded YHC that I’m not in my 40’s anymore. I tried to workout and run in my 30’s and 40’s but we didn’t have a group like F3 so YHC drank and smoked most of those years away. I am so grateful to have F3 at 51 to be out here pushing myself, asking others to dig deep and push themselves. Keep pushing guys, age is just a number.

  • Can I get just one, McRib?

    11 Beastmasters made their way to the lush battle fields of No Toll this morning to see what Doozy had cooked up

    Mosey to the Basketball court for COP while McRib wheels in hot

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, Ukrainian Soldiers, LBC’s, Booty Scooters

    Mosey to the pavilion

    Freaky Beast

    McRib decided to try to offer up one of his ribs by slip sliding in the mud as he was running around YHCs feet at the pavilion. Apparently, the sound was much worse than the fall. It sounded like we where going to have to partner carry him to the Emergency Room at Johnston Willis which luckily was closer than the cars. In the end he said he actually fell mostly in the mud and only partly on the concrete and all of his ribs are still intact.

  • Yah, yah, yah I’ll get too it

    Only 2 brave enough for Suicides on Twin Team, Tobit and Doozy talked about just getting in a Ruck but decided to get after a beatdown instead. Lets head to the hill

    Lots going on this week and really just forgot to write this BB. Had a great Friday night with Tobit, Orange Crush and Nancy Lopez watching the mighty Monacan Chiefs win their football game. YHC promised Tobit that he would get this BB out as not to mess with his Big Data points.

  • Plug in Oyster?????

    8 Popsicles found themselves in the almost freezing parking lot of Timberwolf wondering why they didn’t fart sack this morning or at least wondering “should I stay in the car?”.

    Mosey to the teachers lot for COP

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Booty Scooters (We almost lost Hermie here, man down with an ab cramp)

    Mosey to the picnic tables and partner up

    Partner 1 does exercises while partner 2 runs to the last light and back (Dips, Step Ups, Wall Sits)

    Mosey to Light pole alley (find the ball & Chain with 12 frisbees)

    PAX does the exercise that is written on the frisbee while 1 HIM grabs the ball or chain (unless your Nancy Lopez you grab both) and runs to the last light pole (modified to the tennis court after DK was the test rabbit). Once 8 where complete switch to partners carrying the ball or chain while PAX does the remaining exercises.

    NMS:

    Somehow the discussion of camping and having electricity was started but the wheels quickly fell off that bus when Hermie mentioned that they made coffee by plugging the Oyster in, that (in turn) turned Oyster on and it went down hill from there.

  • Lets just keep it contained

    4 Bootcampers thought they might be in for a heavy run day when YHC explained that there would be no Merkins or Burpees but that the PAX was free to incorporate them into the beatdown as they each saw fit. I do not believe 1 burpee or Merkin was performed in the making of this BB.

    Mosey to the Amplatheater for COP and what would eventually be the entire morning

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Apple Bottom Poppers, Imperial Walkers, LBC’s, Booty Scooters

    Partner up

    Partner 1 does exercise while partner 2 box jumps their way to the top and runs back down repeto X3. Exercises are LBC’s, American Hammers, Scrunchy Frogs

    Round 2 Exercises are Jump squats, Ball Dippers, Calf Raisers

    Elevens – 1 American Hammer at the bottom run to the top for 10 Box Jumps on top step

    Move to the bottom of the pit wall sits at the bottom for about 1 minute run to the top for dips (YHC kept count of 50, 40, 30) time ran out BTTF

    NMS:

    YHC is still trying to figure out how to get a good well rounded beatdown in when you can’t do anything in the plank position. Lots of Abs and legs to be done but YHC has also been reminded that not everyone likes to run as much. WDog is one of those AOs that you can stay in one spot and still get a really good workout in, if you haven’t Q’ed here YHC suggests you give it a shot.

  • Who said anything about running?

    A perfect number of triple check PAX made their way out of the Gloom in hopes that a Doozy Q might not have a burpee in it. Once the lights came on this is what was reported

    COP mosey to the black top play area

    DQ’s, Helicopters, Cherry Pickers, Imperial Squat Walkers, LBC’s

    Mosey around the way and across the street for some four corners prostitute style

    Mosey to the next building over for a lap around and think about how to best use the space

    Mosey back across the street to the school, in front of the school lets do elevens the long way

    NMS:

    Lots to talk about this morning, thoughts on parenting and best ways to handle teenage issues. We (men of F3RVA) have a wealth of experience when it comes to parenting, with all that experience we still get things wrong but that’s okay. As a dad you need to push to learn from your mistakes (learn from others mistakes) and hopefully your child will not end up as screwed up as you are. The mistakes of your children can not be 100% laid on your shoulders though, give yourself the grace to understand that your children have adult decisions to start making and that what they choose or choose not to do might be “based” on their upbringing but in the end are their responsibility. There is a point in your parenting career where you need to transition from being in charge with discipline and as dictator of their lives to being a mentor and guide to adulthood. This transition is hard to make, start too early and they may go off the tracks, start too late and …. Oh wait they may still go off the tracks!!! “Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old (not necessarily a teenager), he will not depart from it. Prov. 22:6

  • 1 Burpee

    NMS: YHC was not real sure how to work this Q without using shoulder muscles but between legs and abs there are actually lots of options, you just need to think on the fly. Thanks to the guys who posted this morning for having patience as I put it all together.

    NMS:

    In a conversation with McRib and Heist, Heist asked how hard was it to write the BB? YHC told him that it wasn’t hard but then realized that after 65 BB for the year YHC’s BB’s are getting less and less creative.

    Heist has his VQ on November 16th at SOT

  • You do you

    Everyone mosey around the track to drop of 3 frisbees at 4 points around the track middle of both straightaways and in the middle of both turns

    Bootcampers do one of the exercises written on the frisbee while runners run one lap (alternating speed each lap – Slow then Fast) once lead runner returns from lap Bootcampers run to next set of frisbees. If Bootcampers want to run a lap rather than do a set of exercises You do You. After time was called PAX got together to make one last trip around the track as a group, Nancy Lopez was the lead rabbit fort this lap.

    YHC wanted to run this morning but he was also the Q for the Bootcampers. Last night a plan was devised on how to keep the two PAX together but not have to have one of the PAX not get what they paid for. YHC was also hopping to see Boberry this morning, the speaker was brought and the real musical genius of 80’s rock was played. Long live AC/DC

    Its been a minute since YHC has made it out to Satan’s Hill and I wasn’t 100% sure how far I wanted to take the PAX this morning. With the hill being right there we didn’t have to go far to get in a quality beatdown.
