  • Champions Rule Losers Drool

    A lucky 13 ultimate warriors took to the perfect turf field of The Forge for a 6v7 game of Ultimate. Our captains Snuff and Oyster picked teams, trying to evenly split by footwear and height. Turns out neither of those variables matter, nor even an extra player. Team Snuff maintained a strong lead with excellent passing and TD runs, winning over Team Oyster 7-4. Thanks to L Woods for bringing the pinnies which helped a ton. Welcome to FNG Dopamine (Jacob from Midlothian area) who’s a premed undergrad at Randolph Macon currently shadowing DTH. Appreciate all you guys showing up and putting in the work! Yours AYE! ~DTH

  • Disc Golf

    Rudy spoke fondly of his memories playing disc golf as a young lad on a nice easy stroll through the park, enjoying the sunshine, libations, and barely breaking a sweat. Not at F3, and certainly not at Timberwolf Boys of Summer – we crank it up!

    Stroll through the woods to mix it up and to replicate the Remember the Titans training camp scene at the civil war battlefield (nailed it). Light warmup and got to work.

    YHC pointed out where the goal was located and simple rules:
    Number of strokes = burpees
    If you intercept a disc, thrower does 6 burpees
    If you try to intercept but drop it, 2 burpees

    pAX came out the gates hot, running to get their disc and an attempt at an interception. Rudy set the tone with his distance, and Merman was always lurking for an INT.

    Hole 8 mixed it up. This was the longest hole, so YHC gave a chance to earn points for Boys of Summer. Throwing the disc left handed, if you scored with 5 shots or less you get a point. Wildcat and McGruff played better with their left handed today that’s for sure!

    Next twist, defenders!? PAX chose offense or defense. Defenders committed to 6 burpees, but if they intercepted a disc then the thrower would have to do 12 burpees (6 for getting intercepted, 6 inherited from the defender). This certainly made things interested and a few of us had to do 12 burpees!

    In total, each guy played 15 holes, ran 2 miles, and did 70-80 burpees – good work fellas!

    prayers for Wildcats co-worker and continued prayers for Fandangos Dad

    Battlers were McGruff and Merman

  • Sally’s Here

    5 regulars and 1 FNG showed up for a Thursday morning beatdown at 45 Minutes of Mary.

    Workout: COP – Mosey – People’s Chair/BTTW – Mosey – Cards – Native Run – American Hammers

    COT topic: Don’t look at porn

  • Itchy grass and too much sun

    YHC double dipped a V Posting and V Q at The Crossing. YHC was very inspired by the format of this years Summer Tour and the bonus point for Qing that YHC decided to attend a AO that’s traditionally very hard to attend given YHC’s work schedule. It was good to see the regulars (Tryhard, Broadway, Chaplin), the Summer Tourers (Pigskin, Blue Moon, Senor Frog), and the new faces (Cavity Search, Ghostbuster, Magnum PI (FNG), Birdman).

    Triple Checks, Touch a Tree, Pencil Rolls, etc were completed. It was warmer than mornings but the humidity was low and the breeze was nice. The grass it awful though. I’m just glad it wasn’t July.

    Announcements – Father’s Day workout at The Forge on Sunday morning at 0700. Bring your 2.0’s or Tryhard said you can always borrow one haha.

    Prayer Request – Magnum PI’s Grandfather has Cancer and is going through treatment.

    NMS – Welcome to Magnum PI (FNG). Pigskin/Blue Moon were telling Birdman, Magnum PI, Ghost Buster, and Cavity Search about the other AO’s, times of day, and format. Hopefully we will see them pop up somewhere else soon. #KubotaSlackLurker

  • It’s not Broga if there’s no Savasana

    3 gathered, stretching happened, it was nice. We ended properly with Savasana.

  • Suns Out Guns Out

    Eight amigos toted their rucks around Larus Park next to the Stony Point Shopping Center for a power-hour of good times and hard work. The majority of the PAX kept their biceps modestly covered but Purple Rain would not be denied on this glorious morning. Inspired by PR’s pythons, YHC led us through the trails in a snake-like pattern for today’s 3.34mile trek. All eight returned to the flag for COT and then shared a coffee at Einstein’s to discuss the end of Jordan Peterson’s 12 Rules for Life, ideas for the next book, and the English…naturally.

    Announcements:
    – Summer Tour ’25 : Keep an eye on the 1st F Slack channel for each week’s hot spots.
    – Father’s Day (6/15) @ The Forge : 0700 : 2.0-friendly workout with games and slip-n-slide
    – Homegrown Half (8/16)
    – GROWRUCK #59 (Downrange – NC) : Oct. 3-5 : NTB and L Woods are HC and looking for more to join!

    Prayer Requests:
    – L Woods: Close friend waiting on results from lung scan.
    – NTB: Family going through hard times with the recent loss of grandparents
    – Purple Rain: Extended family health issues.

  • The Hardest 1/4ish Mile?

    3 of New Kent’s hardest HIM’s came out to do some training on the wet Bermuda this gloom! Capital Gains sparked some training in us yesterday over the Slacks for Spartan in October. While YHC doesn’t know what training is entailed for a Spartan race it reminded me there’s a training I put on the back burner for doing the hardest mile so why not start there?

    Warmarama!

  • Manndate Mumble

    We warmed up with various exercises: hillbilly’s, hand release merkins, lbc’s, cherry pickers and some others. We started off with 11’s – kb calf raises at the curb and kettle bell squats (touch your butt to the bench). The mumble chatter was hot so I had us do 4 corners. I chose the first 2-3 exercises and then we took turns (lawn mowers, curls, demon crushers, halos, calf raises, sit up with a pump, etc…). With all of the chatter you’d think my mouth would be tired but the conversation was so good I forgot about the suck and just kept working. My arms and grips are wiped out. We finished up with some boat – canoe as we always should. Numberama, Namarama and Corned Beef took us out with an outstanding prayer. Thanks for letting me participate – I love working out with this group of guys.

  • Hemorrhoid is Still Available

    Sixteen of my gloom brethren gathered for the third day of “it sounds like a good idea to sign up for three days in a row of Qs” Splinter Q. After a few hot brogans moseyed across the street and the stream of cars finally stopped with Hitch coming in hot, off we went for a quick loop around the lot before convening at our normal COP gathering place.

    Moleskine

    YHC missed his anniversary Q a few months ago and contemplated recreated his first workout again. With a few in the PAX ailing and likely unable to run that distance, an audible was called. My inner Chum Bucket was creative last night and I recalled a few Super 21s we did at Punisher that I always hated. Hated because they were hard, got the heart rate up, yet didn’t require a lot of running. Thus Super 21s today. You can all text Chum and thank him.

    Mumblechatter varied today from high school baseball results and discrepancies between single count and double count (where was Upchuck when we needed him). YHC forgot the reference to national corn on the cob day, perhaps Last Call will pay homage soon.

    Coffeeteria was great as always.

    Have a great Wednesday everyone. Welcome to our FNGs. See y’all soon.

  • Who’s your EMOMmy?

    4 HIMs came out today to get the day started off right! Abbreviated warmup as Heist took forever to hang his F3 sign outside of the Green Mile parking lot, so we started off with some stretches and light exercises to warm up. Sign is now hung, grab your cinder block and let’s mosey!

    Round 1 – Bus Loop

    Starting with 6 reps, pax performs 6 jump squats and 6 curls, then runs to the 6th bus lane and back in one minute or less, then rest. Next set, 7x and run to 7th bus lane. We made it to 15 before failing to make it back on time. That longer run sneaks up on you quick!

    Round 2 – 🫏

    Grab block and go to backside of the school and find a spot on the wall. Starting with 6x – Donkey Kicks into KB swings, run to curb and back. YHC tapped at 16, Heist and Futon completed 19. Called for time to get round 3 in.

    Round 3 – King of the Hill

    Started at 12x and challenged PAX to do 5 rounds before time. Skull Crushers into front raises, bear crawl up the hill and run back down. Completed through 17

    BTTF

    Fathers Day Q at the Forge, Heist shared some of the discussion from SLT. Thankful for blessings and. Shared words of wisdom on the importance of setting your family up correctly.

    Week of Crabby is 🔥🔥🔥. Get ready for Frisbee Golf tomorrow at Timberwolf
