  • 2 Years in the Making

    14 bootcampers and 2 ruckers came out to help YHC celebrate 2 years of F3. Here’s how it went down.

    Mosey to the parking lot near the fields for COP

    SSH

    Arm Circles

    Ukranian soliders

    Opus

    WWII’s

    Copper head squats, all in cadence.

    Mosey to the closest field and partner up.

    Start with 10 partner leg tosses, run to mid field and do 10 booyah merkins, run to the opposite of the field and do 10 partner WWII’s. run back to the starting point and repeat until down to 1.

    Mosey to the parking lot and do 5 corners, starting and ending at the same corner

    5,10,15,20,25 Hand release merkins

    10,20,30,40,50, WWII’s

    Mosey back to the flag with about a minute to spare and do a ring of fire with each pax doing 5 merkins while the other pax hold a plank.

    Numbers, Names, YHC took us out.

    Prayers for Florence’s mother-in-law.

    Rucking at The Forge tomorrow morning.

    YHC signed up for this Q prior to knowing about the Sunday morning ruck. Not sure if YHC could have led the workout if not for Broga first. We got in some good work today and GTE Pax got in some good training for the physical fitness test. YHC appreciates everyone coming out today, and the entire F3RVA. Its been a great 2 years and looking forward to many more. YHC ate up a lot of time on the partner workout without having to give a lot of direction. Per DK, that’s a veteran move. I guess I’m official now!

    House Party

  • Its just rain…right????

    After getting a heads up from a few Crossing regulars that they couldn’t make it, YHC figured there would be a couple guys to post since we’ve been getting pretty good numbers on the regular. Even the last time it rained we had 5 to post, Not today. After a brief warmup of SSH, Ukrainian soldiers, Merkins, and copperhead squats, YHC decided to take a lap around the perimeter of the church then do 30 Merkins, 30 LBC’s 30 squats, and 10 burpees. YHC was able to do 3 rounds. The last round, with time running low, YHC decided to do 2 rounds of 10 Merkins, 10 LBC’s, 10 squats and 5 burpees and only run the upper parking lot. With only 2 minutes remaining YHC did burpees til time.

    Prayers to all F3RVA pax experiencing any sort or hardship whether it be an illness, injuries, or issues with the family.

    House Party

  • Is this miserable or fun?

    5 brave HIM made their way to The Crossing for a House Party beatdown in the pouring rain. Here’s how it went down.

    Circle up for COP which included arm circles, Ukrainian soldiers, merkins, copperhead squats and flutter kicks.

    Indigenous peoples run around the perimeter of the church with the last man doing 3 burpees

    4 corners which included 15 merkins, 30 squats, and 45 monkey humpers.

    Line up for suicides by running down, bear crawling, and lunge walking while doing various exercises at each line. Last round of suicides was cut short to add a round of man killers.

    Finish off with a ring of fire with each Pax leading an exercise in cadence.

    Numbers, Names, YHC took us out.

    Its hard to say if posting in the pouring rain is really miserable or really fun. Regardless, its something about getting out there and doing the hard things with the pax that makes it worthwhile.

    Thanks for letting me lead tonight,

  • Kings of the Mountain

    Fresh off a 7 month hiatus, YHC had The Forge Q today. Here’s how it went down.

    Mosey to the bottom of the hill for COP. Start with 5 burpees OYO. Arm circles, Helicopters, Ukrainian soldiers, Don Quixotes, and Copperhead squats all in cadence.

    All ab Dora with 100 double count flutter kicks, 200 LBC’s, and 300 mountain climbers.

    Mosey to the parking lot for a 4 corners (lady of the night style) with a slight twist. Instead of repeating exercises at each corner, we did 5 burpees. Exercises included 30 hand release merkins, 60 squats, 90 LBC’s and 120 monkey humpers. Finished with a total of 50 burpees.

    Finished off with a trip up Mt. Chaplain doing exercise in cadence at each parking lot. Exercises were merkins, SSH’s, WWII’s and 10 merkins OYO at the top – BTTF

    YHC took us out. Hardest mile at Rock & Roll at 6am. GTE#47 May 3-5. YHC is registered! Check Slack for all the announcements. Great work today! Thanks for letting me lead fellas!

  • HIM on a Mission

    6 early rising HIM came out to Rockwood park for pre beatdown ruck/run/hardest mile training session. Big Rig set it off and was later joined by Rosie for a run. Mudslide got in a ruck while YHC rucked for an hour and joined Chaplain for a run. Hardywood prepped for the hardest mile by getting in a run, some lung walking, bear crawling, and broad jump burpees. Morning Wood had it all this morning. Great work fellas. Looking forward to next week!

    House Party

  • Who Let the Dogs Out!

    Two early risers decided to hit Rockwood Park for some early morning miles. YHC did some rucking while Big Rig did some running. While YHC was solo, Big Rig had his four legged companion with him to join in on his run. I’m sure even with 4 legs, he had a hard time keeping up with Big Rig.

    House Party

  • Best of Both Worlds

    YHC decided to get an early morning start at 5am and do a little running with Big Rig. 6am hits and now its time for some Rucking with Broadway. Great way to start the morning. It was brutal but as always, great fellowship.

    House Party

  • The importance of a good shoe…

    After a brief stretch and strapping on the vest, YHC noticed no other Pax would be joining for the ruck so I audibled to a run with Big Rig. Mumble chatter included our Thanksgiving holiday, football, and how critical it is to have a good, quality shoe when running or rucking. YHC learned the hard way on our 10 mile Ruck for Food. Always enjoy running and catching up with Big Rig. His fitness journey is a great motivator.

    House Party

  • Ideal Conditions…

    One runner and two ruckers rose bright and early to get the juices flowing before Broga and a Ponch beatdown. Weather conditions were ideal considering the recent 30 degree temps. Big Rig got in his early morning miles. Always great to ruck with Mudslide although YHC has to work double time and can still barely keep up.

    House Party

  • Solo Ruck

    YHC started out at about 5:40 with the goal of getting in a couple miles prior to Mudslides Broga. Rockwood had all the lights on at the fields but thought I might hit some of the trails. Thought again after seeing some animals and leaves rustling. Although though the headlamp was in full effect, YHC got a little spooked and decided to get back to the lit path. Still managed 3 miles prior to the beatdown. Sorry to miss Mudslide but he drove another vehicle that I wasn’t familiar with.
