  • Mormonites & Letterkenny

    4 HIMS gallantly rode into the gloomy Lumber Yard on their trusty four wheeled steeds to get jiggly with what lay ahead.

    COP – Mosey the long way to circle up for DQ’s, Arm Circles, Chinooks, Hill Billy Walkers, and Freddie Mercury’s.

    The Thang!

    Mosey back to the flag for “Lunge No Man Behind”. As a group lunge to first cone and sprint back to start, pick up the 6 if back early. Lunge to 2nd cone and sprint back to start, pick up 6. Continue for 5 cones.

    “Sally Up, Sally Down” – Merkins, all the way up, come down and hold without torso contacting the ground.

  • Stolen Workout From Meatball

    About 3 months in doing Graveyard Shift and for the first time, I’m flying solo. Too bad for everyone else, the workout I stole from a Meatball Q was a real burner! The format was the same, I did a few different exercises, and did a lap between each group of sets.

    Add 1 exercise, Drop 10 reps each round
    60 reps Mountain Climbers, Oblique Exercises 30 each side
    Lap
    50 Add Ball Dippers
    Lap
    40 Add Merkins
    Lap
    30 Add Pulse ups
    Lap
    20 Add Double Clutch Squat jumps
    Lap
    Was going to add 10 burpees but ran out of time.

    Great workout with a high volume of reps. Now onto Timberwolf for State Farm’s going away thrasher.

  • Graveyard Pre Run in Old Hundred

    YHC was a little excited for the morning’s activities and had to get an early start. Ventured into the Old Hundred neighborhood across the street from Swift Creek. Got an easy 5k in before the next shift.

  • Ruck-a-ccino

    The Hunt For Red Octagon led 5 HIMs to gather at the stop sign at 0530 with weight on their back and coffee in their hands. Off we went. Heist brought some energy this morning and set the pace out the gates. Discussions on fantasy football, the proper placement of a front door on a house, and if we should adopt a battlecry by saying three FFFs in succession (yes).

    moving and grooving this morning. Good to get out with the group as always.

  • Egypt ain’t got nothin on these pyramids!

    4 Bermuda Beasts came out for the latest 5 am OTB Pull up and Dip Session at Goyne Park. Cool morning was a good reminder to have those gloves ready when the cold weather comes. Those pull up bars will freeze that grip.

    It was mostly our standard Pull up and Dip session.

    Hollow Rocks x10 3 sets

    Partner Pull up and dip pyramid

  • Stayin Alive, Stayin Alive

    We are men called to action. And yes, that action may be saving someone’s life!!

    Tues 10/15 and Wednesday 10/16 Trinity UMC hosted F3 RVA for a CPR class.

    Our instructor, Pam Ferguson aka, Fergie, is a RN with Flatline on VCU Health’s Rapid Response Team. She answered the call and came to teach!! Fergie is dedicated teacher and a disciple to CPR!!

    Thank you to Gomer Pyle for providing assistance with the location. And I love me some Fergie! Thank you to PAX members for the generous donation to reward Fergie!

    Hope you learned something but never have to demonstrate!

    Loud and Proud,

  • New Kent AKA The Lumber Yard

    3 Lumber Jacks followed one eager Beaver into the conifer dense gloom, backlit by the waning gibbous moon for an upper body, yet somewhat cardio forward kettle bell beatdown! There was some discussion about pastries, preferably of the strudel and Boston Cream variety, the chuckles quickly faded once we got down to business, we’ll blame it on the running. We’ve also given Pine Fork Park an F3 name which will be The Lumber Yard, and we also nicknamed our newest FNG Paul – Bubbles, so we’re elated to continue to progress of F3 out here in NKC.

  • NKC – Breaking Yukon

    We skipped hunting for this?! Yea, we opted for our first New Kent Saturday morning bootcamp. Folks got a chance to see us at work from their windshields for the first time as they trickled in for some AM soccer. With a shovel flag staked in the ground next to a couple of F3 coupons at the PFP entrance, they got a look at the spectacle that was, 3 middle aged F3 bears crawling and dragging coupons in the grass as we proceeded to roll over on our backs like sea lions and bench press, sit up and shoulder press those coupons. We got a lot of grunting and groaning coming from the Choo Choo train and we may have broke Yukon Cornelius as he ended up spooning his coupon.

    Here’s the scoop!
