  • Wet Beasts in the Gloom

    After a 5am pull up session it was time for the main event. Recovery a few minutes before 5:30 hit and we hit it with a mosey to the bottom parking lot for a little warmerama. We hit some of the usuals, including SSH, Zombie kicks, Apple bottom poppers, flutter kicks, and Michael Phelps. We ended it in plank with taking turns name the core principals, credo, and mission of F3. No misses so we did a few celebratory merkins. Then mosey to the field for The Thang:

    A Beast where we spelled out 

    B.E.A.S.T.S.

    Burpee

    Earl Fonda (cross between a Suzanne Sommers and a sleeping hillbilly)

    American Hammers

    Squats

    T-bones ( kind of an upside down plank jack?)

    SSH

    Sprinklers were in so we had to audible to beside the field. We weren’t smoking or golfing so I don’t think we broke any rules. 

    After that we went back to the parking lot for:

    Cocaine bears

    Bear cocaines

    Bear crawl from one island to the next, one merkin at every line, then reverso. 

    Indigenous people run back to the flag with 2 burpees at the back. 

    Perfect time for 5 min of Mary. Everyone took a turn leading and Eastbound had cadence down pat by the end!

    Numbers, names, YHC took us out. Prayers for Broadway’s daughter, and for my brother and his community, and all those affected but the recent hurricanes. Next weekend is camping trip, following week is the daddy daughter dance. Further details are on slack

    NMM 

    Great morning to get after it.  The Bermuda boys bring the heat and really hit it! The slight drive is worth it to get the chance to help push each other better. 

  • Poolboy gets DP’d

    Last night the group chat was unable to determine the appropriate Q – so Big Rig and State Farm team’d up for a little DP (Double PAX) Q leadership. Excellent morning to push with this group. The banded sprints and the double clutch squats were particularly nasty! The double team ensued as follows…

    • Warmarama – Mosey, Curb Drills, Toe Taps, Mtn Climbers, Football Drills
    • Intro, Disclaimer, Stretch, Mission, Credo, Core principles
    • COP 1 “The Bank”
      • 2 Pax do banded sprints to end of parking lot and back (Rotate at end of lot)
      • 4 remaining pax collectively achieve the reps in the bank below (Switch when banded partners return, rotate through multiple times)
        • 100 Coupon Curls
        • 200 Swings
        • 200 Brick Layers
        • 200 Hand release merkins
        • 200 Clean and Press
    • COP 2 – Big Rig comes for phase 2 – Mankiller
      • First part – mankiller cadence jumping around the parking lot square
      • Second Part – Traditional “baby cow killers” down from 10
    • COP 3 – 4 Corners (Escalating)
      • 10 Merkins
      • 20 Double Clutch Squats
      • 30 Heels to heaven/Pulses
      • 40 American Hammers

    Closed out while Tiger King had to Elvis himself to the shitter, but made it just in time! Excellent morning with some real hard pax out there pushing through the DP. Thankful for all the sharpening we’ve done this year. Upcoming stuff (Camping trip, etc…) on Slack. YHC will be sparse here soon as the move to PA nears, love these guys so much. Honor to lead. State Farm going away Q coming soon! SYITG.

    Big ups to everyone who participated in IronPAX this year. It’s such a great challenge and way to push yourself, whether you do one work out or all 5. Prayers for Pool Boy’s family as they have someone dealing with childhood leukemia, and for all those affected by the hurricane and flooding including my brother and his family. Way to go Broadway, rolling through those burpees today. Also welcome Tiger King! He works with Pool Boy and Big Rig. He crushed an ironPAX on his first post!

  • 36 Birthday Burpees!

    8 gloom titans took Bermuda by storm this morning. I asked myself – “have I been good this year? Should I splurge on a present for myself?” The answer was yes – so during the workout 36 burpees was my gift to myself. I shouldn’t have!! Great crowd and honored to lead for my belated 36th bday Q. Thanks to Boberry and Warby for making the trip, props to Dipstick for his 2nd workout (1st one was at the Saturday at convergence), and what a surprise treat with an FNG coming out!

    Finished with some names, numbers, announcements and prayers. Try to sign up for the bridge! Great experience. Also – YHC shared some news with the group that the M and I will be relocating to Pennsylvania to be closer to family and start one of our own. YHC will still be traveling back for work most weeks and posting a few times a month, but my leadership presence over the weekends especially will be sparse. I want to thank EVERYONE for such an amazing 14 months with F3 here. Keep an eye out for State Farm ‘going away’ Q coming soon! SYITG.

  • IPC WEEK 2:  THE MARCH TO THE ARCH

    4 Bermuda Triangle Gloom Warriors came out to Goyne Park for this week’s Iron PAX Challenge

    As usual, it sucked. According to the walker who refuses to be deadlocked, Here’s what happened.

    Set-Up: 

    • Measure out 800 meters or utilize a 200/400 meter loop.  PAX should finish 800m at cone grid.

    • Measure out 15 yards in a straight line with cones at the start and end.

    • A standard coupon is needed for this workout.

    THE THANG:

    • Run800 meters

    • 80 Merkins

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs travel 15 yards. (LUNGE, LUNGE, THRUSTER WITH COUPON)

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats (no cheat/no surrender)

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs back to start

    • 80 Coupon Plank Jacks (toes down & up = 1)

    • Murder Bunny travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Reverse Murder Bunny back to start

    • 60 Merkins

    • Bricklayers travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Bricklayers back to start

    • 60 Coupon Plank Jacks

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs back to start

    • 40 Merkins

    • Bricklayers travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Bricklayers back to start

    • 40 Coupon Plank Jacks

    • Murder Bunny travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Reverse Murder Bunny back to start

    • 20 Merkins

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs travel 15 yards

    • 14 Cactus Jump Squats

    • Lt. Dan’s Magic Legs back to start

    • 20 Coupon Plank Jacks

    • Run800 meters

    Coupon Plank Jacks: Jumping Jacks while in the plank position with coupon under feet. 1) Starting position: toes on coupon in decline plank position.  2) Toes jump off coupon to ground on the sides of the coupon.  3) End with toes jumping back on coupon.  This equals 1 rep (a 2-count, down/off coupon & up/on coupon).Bricklayers (movement): Lateral MOT, PAX are moving towards cones while facing the left or right side of the grid. 1) PAX stands next to coupon and does sideways coupon jump, 2) move coupon from one side of you to the other side, 3) repeat side coupon jump, 4) rise & repeat.  PAX can change which way they are facing whenever they want.  Hands must come off coupon for jump.  PAX cannot toss or roll coupon for greater distance, coupon must have the same flat side up at all times.  Coupon is always in landscape position, with PAX jumping the width (shorter side). Cactus (No-Cheat) Jump Squats: Coupon is standing upright on ground, PAX puts hands behind head, similar to doing no-surrenders. 1) PAX sits on coupon, 2) then lifts both feet off the ground at same time, 3) PAX stands and then goes straight into a jump squat off coupon. Both feet come off the ground when sitting and both feet come off the ground when jumping.Done

    Great work!  I’m gonna hurl!

  • SpaceX and Iron Pax

    3 Iron HIMS decided to get a jumpstart on Week 1’s Iron Pax. YHC was still sore AF from WK 0, thanking the SkyQ that this week’s circuit was only super shitty, not a full on world ender. During the warmarama, we got a nice little treat and observed the SpaceX Polaris booster that looked to be returning after the initial launch. Totally wild sight.

    We opted to setup in the parking lot for better lighting and for cindy sliding with the murder bunnies. Pool Boy brought the area work light which is my NEW FAVORITE! Popped on the newly minted F3 nation spotify Iron pax playlist! It was excellent, best check it out. The astronauts caught a glimpse of the following

    Times Below

    • State Farm – 21:30
    • Broadway – 22:00 (Modified)
    • Pool boy – 23:45

    Finished up with some Mary and Broga – what a beautiful morning. I will say this week’s rendition was TOUGH, the burpee broad jumps are never easy. This is one of those where you can make it as hard/intense as you can break off. Word to the wise, use good form and be cognizant of your back! Can be a few movements (Murder bunnies) that can be tough on the back.

    Great to keep the momentum going with the Iron Pax! Feeling strong already. Happy to see Big Rig and Bo hosting it at Goyne this weekend as well.

    Names/Number/Prayers

    -Healing for broadway

    -prayers for Pool boy’s cousins going through cancer screening

    -YHC needing some relief from recently aggravated tinnitus

    Pool Boy’s Oblique Cindy Lifts x10 IC

    BTTF for 1 minute of stretching


    I was truly blessed to lead Broadway and Pool Boy today. While my official 2 year anniversary Q is on Saturday,  today is the official date of my 2 years in F3.  I can’t put into words how much of a blessing this group has been for me, and hope I can help make it a part of something many more men’s lives in the future.

    Prayers for Bone Thugs, who’s having surgery today, and for Wildcat, who’s having an Xray.

  • Curb Crawl Blockee Suicides

    5 Cyborgs activated for an epic rager this morning at Bermuda. Half way through the ass beating Posh provided some hilarious motivation “We’re building Cyborgs here at F3!”. Hell yes. The team of terminators did not disappoint. Props to @NTB for the EMOM 15 idea – adding coupons to this was a hellish curveball.

    • Warmarama
      • Farmer’s Carry Cindys From Shed down to median area
        • Reps of XO’s when dropped by any Pax (MTN Climbers, Cherry Pickers, Depth Charge Merkins)

      • Tunes activated – LFGO!
    • EMOM 10
      • “Every Minute on the Minute”
      • Start at Curb w/ 2 coupons each

      • Rest until the top of the next minute – increase to 2 reps, repeato until death
      • XO’s
        • 1 Depth Charge Merkin
          • Not sure if Exicon named, but each hand on a cindy, bring your chest PAST the cindy level for an extra depth on the down stroke, great chest workout
        • 1 Cindy Thruster
        • 1 Cindy Curl
      • The rest period evaporated by reps 5 and 6 so we shortened the run. By the 10th round we never stopped moving.
      • Love this circuit will absolutely deploy in the future
    • CURB CRAWL BLOCKEE SUICIDES
      • Another sinister COP inspired by the insane amount of Curb Crawls we’ve doing in previous Posh and Pool Boy Q’s.
      • Cindy’s staged at the beginning of the median
      • Treat the curb at the median like the “basketball court length” (overall length was probably 50 yards)

      • 10 year convergence 9/21
    • Prayers – lifting up Pool Boy’s cousin through a way to young cancer diagnosis

  • False advertising

    4 HIMS enjoyed the absolutely beautiful temps this morning. It was advertised as 36 minutes of broga but that didn’t pan out.

    WARMARAMA: mosey to the bball court for the usual

    -Don Q’s

    -SSH

    -WW2’s done wrong

    The THANG: From there we walked over to the island for a lovely curb crawl. That led us to the cow pasture fence, it’s been long talked about but unused. Stay with 1 merkin, 1 step up, 1 Turkish getup and add reps until 10.

    A Pool Boy Q would be anything without a little swimming. Arm circles and high knees as we made our way through the morning dew and tall grass. 4 cindies got a lift to the Pavillion for a quadruple set. Farmer carry two cindies to the tree and sprint back for the timer. Oblique dips with a Cindy, lbc’s and modify with toe taps and oblique lbc, chair dips. 2 rounds of this until time to take Cindy home. Mosey BTTF for a ring of fire with merkins. Ranger,spiderman,no cheat shoulder taps, and diamond.

    Finished with names, numbers, announcement, and a prayer. Check slack for updates.

  • Dusk til Dawn

    WARMUPS at the tennis court:

    • 5 Burpees

    Mosey to the hill began with 20 Dips on your own to prepare for The Wheelbarrow up the hill to a crab walk back down the hill, triple set.

    Mosey to the far left parking lot for my signature… THE BERMUDA TRIANGLE ~3 markers ~3Oyds apart in shape of a
    triangle. Pax performs one burpee at first
    marker and bear crawls to 2nd marker, 2
    burpees and bear crawl to 3rd marker, 3
    burpees and bear crawl back to 1st marker, 4 burpees… took it easy because those is usually a rinse & repeat x3.

    Mosey’d back to the flag to finish off with some Broga…. thanks to State Farm for leading that for us!

    Announcements:
