16 Dry and Driven men emerged from their Fartsack to attack the day (and the british) at 45 MOM.  The weather was nearly perfect.  60 degrees, slight rain, no stars.  YHC was hoping for much worse weather, man do I like it when the gloom gets gloomy!!!!  Despite the lack of driving rain, the PAX left 45MOM drenched and muddy.  A great time was had.  Here is how it went down. The Thang Mosey to the basketball courts, Paul Revere Starter (1 if by land two if by sea, so everything is either and 11 count or 22 count).  Merkins x…

17 Faithful beat the fartsack this morning for the gun show at Mary Munford Elementary. Most of the PAX seemed to have figured out the parking situation, and @Bleeder planted the shovel flag. An extended #mumblechatter-style “Happy Birthday” to Fudd was rudely interrupted as YHC kicked off the festivities. THE THANG Mosey to the NW corner of the school grounds Warm-up COP (all in cadence/IC) – SSH x25 – Arm circles: small fwd x10, small backward x10, large backward x10 – Merkins – full range with locked elbows and hands off the ground at the bottom x8 – LBCs x…

…showed up for a solid beatdown at 45MOM on a beautiful morning in the Gloom.  Humpty Dumpty was nowhere to be seen, but 25 strong PAX were in full force.  AYE!!  Here is how it went down.

Last September 20, twenty-four men posted for the first F3 RVA workout – the GridIron – at Pouncey Tract Park.  For most it was our RedPill Workout. Less than a year later: there are F3 RVA workouts each day of the week; there are events where the men of F3 RVA come together as a team and do things a year ago they would have thought not possible; and there exist genuine friendships formed as Iron Sharpens Iron. To celebrate this growth, to offer thanks for these blessings, and to embolden our focus on the 3 Fs, we’re coming together…

Seven hearty souls braved the overnight storms and emerged through the gloom for YHC’s virgin Q. A brief warm-up mosey brought us to the edge of the soccer fields for the COP: SSH x 25 Imperial Walkers x 25 Hillbillies x 25 Don Quixotes x 15 Mosey over to the east end of the fields and form two-man teams. Buddy Carry (Fireman or Piggy Back) to mid-field, Run to west end, 100 Flutter Kicks as a team; Buddy Carry to mid-field, Run to east end, 100 LBC’s; Run to monkey bar traverse then to the dip bars for 100 Dips…

16 posted for 45 Minutes of Mary.  The weather was perfect although we could have used a bit more sunlight to conduct our final set of exercises (Initially called “3 Man Weave” but may need to be called “Balls to the Face”).

Twenty redwoods, and two FNGs, came out to a very humid #45MinutesOfMary to strengthen their bodies and clear their minds.  YHC took the Q, tossing out a winkie which had been carefully crafted for a somewhat smaller group, and electing to improvise instead.  This is how it went down, more or less: THANG: Near Shovel Flag — ssh x 30, lbc x 30, merkin x 15, don quiote x 25, hillbillies x 25 Mosey to bus loop area — chiabatta alternating between box jumps and jump squats chiabatta alternating between standing MCs and MCs ascending / descending curb crawls (1 to 5, 5…
