  • Satan’s Mouthful

    What a fine morning upon the PAX of 10 today. Weather was perfect, beatdown was solid, but majority of the PAX needed to brush their teeth after chewing fart air up every time up the hill. You know who it was.

    Started off with a slow mosey to the stop sign and back to pick up a coupon on choice. Mission statement and core values. Cherry pickers, Don Quixote, walkdown merkins, LBC, flutterkicks.

    The THANG.

    SSH – 50 count in cadence, run to the top of hill and back

    Alabama Prom Dates – 50 count in cadence, run to the top of hill and back

    Thrusters with coupon – 50 count, run to the top of hill and back

    American Hammers – 50 double count, run to the top of hill and back

    No Surrenders – 25 count

    Skull Crushers – 25 count, run to the top of hill and back

    Heels to heaven – 50 count, run to the top of hill and back

    Imperial squat walkers – 50 count, run to the top of hill and back

    Lunge – 50 count, run to the top of hill and back. Time called.

    Numbers, names, PR, COT.

    Always a pleasure and an HONOR to lead you gents!

  • Odd or Even

    On a perfect fall morning, 7 HIMs showed up to Satan’s Hill thankful the IPC has come to an end. Kudos to all that participated and made themselves that much stronger and better. The PAX was welcomed today with a wooden block dice that would control our destiny, and man was there a lot of luck on our side; unlike the luck of Nancy Lopez’s Guardians and YHC’s Red Sox whose dreams of a World Series came to an end. Here is how it went down:

    Warm up: Mosey to the end of the parking lot and back to the start to circle up for various IC exercises/stretches.

    COP 1: Each PAX member grabbed a coupon and circled up in the parking lot. A roll of the dice decided if we would run down Satan’s Hill (Odd numbers) or up Satan’s Hill (Even numbers). The number shown decided the quantity of Mike Tyson Merkins (at the bottom of Satan’s Hill) or Monkey Humpers (at the top of Satan’s Hill) we would complete. Odd numbers were rolled at a statistically much higher rate than expected as 6/7 times we ran down the hill. Prior to the run each time we completed 2 different exercises x 50 reps. Exercises included Curls, Overhead Press, Skull Crushers, Leg Lifts over the Block, Chest Press, American Hammers, Preacher Curls, Rainbow Overhead Presses, Bus Drivers and a few others I can’t remember.

    COP 2: Carry coupon to the bottom of the hill. Goal is to make it to the top of the hill via 3 different modes of transportation (use any number of them needed, but once you change to a new MOT, you can’t go back to the old one. MOTs included Farmers Carry, Rifle Carry or Lunges.

    Returned to the parking lot for names, numbers, announcements (Great work on donations of shoes and money for Kenya. F3 is 100% made up of some damn good dudes!) Prayers (Hermey’s wife for medical concerns)

    Appreciate you fellas coming out this morning after a tough day at Timberwolf for the final IPC day. Great way to start a Friday! Have a blessed day!

  • 11 1/2 back

    YHC’s beloved Cleveland Guardians started September 11 1/2 games back of Detroit in the central. We are tied while holding the tiebreaker heading into the weekend. It seems like cause to celebrate with a workout. No team has ever erased a double digit lead in September to win the division. With that said a threes company of PAX dusted off the fartsack ready to end the week right.

    Quick mosey around the lot.

    COP- 20 each SSH, LBC; Willy Mays Hayes, 10 Each, Jim Duggan’s,  Jazzercise, Helicopters, Imperials Walkers, , Copper head squat, Cherry pickers, Merkins, Dollies, Flutters. 

    COP: Run to intersection perform 11 1/2 of called exercise. Progressive on the exercises as we arrived at next intersection. 11 Merkins, 22 WWII’s, 33 Squats, 44 drydocks , 55 dollies, 66 SSH’s. Erase the board on way back then 11 plank jacks, 22 LBC’s and 33 ??. Ran to far back of hood and cut over to Willomore and through woods on way back.

    YHC took us out in prayer.

    Thank you gentleman for coming out and pushing me. Sometimes a small group is a great group.

  • Baby Satan Awakens

    The Village next door was quiet—until 7 HIMs laced up and ran it awake. We circled up, knocked out a light jog and stretch, and then went straight to work.

    The Thang:

    • Run through the wood to the village to get the blood moving.
    • Merkin Madness – regular, wides, and diamonds.
    • Core Crusher – freddies, hammers, leg lifts, flutters. HIMs groaned, but we kept the rhythm.
    • Another Run into the Shoulder Tear Series – arm lifts, low lifts, apple pickers.
    • Run + Baby Satan Hill – sprints that left no man questioning why the hill got its name over at the village.
    • More mountain climbers and side-straddle hops, sprinkled with more running.
    • Closed strong with burpees, another run, and—you guessed it—more burpees.

    Mumble Chatter: Even Cpt Kirk admitted it had been a minute since he’d taken a beatdown like that. He kept stressing he couldn’t disclose his profession… oh snap—do we have a spook in the PAX? 👀

    COT: Grateful for the early morning iron sharpening iron. The Village won’t forget who woke it up today.

  • Satan’s Hill (Quad Killing Edition)

    As I watched Tua hand the game to Buffalo, I pondered what today’s beatdown should be. Help Matlock run 8 miles? Break out the cornhole boards? YHC landed somewhere in-between…however waking up and recovering from yesterday’s IPC, my quads were feeling the pain. Too bad, the show must go on!

    12 HIMs began to mosey, then Hermey showed up in a SmartCar and we took off for an indian run to a cul-de-sac hidden in darkness so we could admire the stars. Quick count showed 12 HIMs made it, so Nancy and Mudslide launched a Saving Private Hermey rescue mission while we warmed up.

    Indian run BTTF

    Triple Check #1
    P1 – Run up the hill with a sandbag
    P2 – burpees
    P3 – J-Lo’s

    Triple Check #2
    P1 – Run from pool to top of hill and back
    P2 – hold the resistance band
    P3 – run shuttles L C R called out by P2
    Kudos to those who bear crawled this

    Quick mosey around the parking lot to kill 20 seconds so Nancy wouldn’t be disappointed in me.

    Stretch those quads!

    FNG – Oops
    John D. (Dunningham, Dunnington!?) is Wildcat’s neighbor and came out for the first of many F3 posts today! Glad to have you out there. He has lived in Midlothian for 15+ years but is new to New Market and will soon find out what type of riff-raff he has surrounded himself with. He is a lawyer and Matlock immediately went in for the bromance. I assume John D. spends most of his day sending harassing/dad-tone emails about coin appraisals…but I digress. Searching for ideas, we asked about first concert and the PAX got excited to learn that in the second grade he went to see Britney Spears. Great options were thrown out, but as a John who is an Eagles fan, one rose above the rest.

    Welcome, Oops!

  • The Pink Ranger

    8 grown-boys showed up to run around the parking lot at Satan’s Hill this morning. YHC let the PAX know that today’s playlist during the workout would have songs pulled from all the American Pie movies. The conversation quickly turned to how well/poorly our childhood crushes are aging. Names like Tara Reid, Topanga, The Pink Ranger and Kelly Kapowski were brought up for debate.

    WARAMARA – Moseyed to the top of Satan’s Hill and back to the circle. Gave the mission, stretched out and got into it.

    COP #1 – EMOM (Or Electric-Mom as YHC likes to refer to it as)

    • Curls and Skull-crushers
    • Lift and then run to the other side of the parking lot and back.

  • Ups and downs of life

    Recently, life has been one where it hasn’t been easy. The reality that nearly 2 years at Amazon, it’s time for me to look for something new. 4 straight 10 hour shifts then try to get my body to shut down, relax and enjoy a little quiet time in my head hasn’t been easy. Plus I don’t sleep real well (the type of sleep I get versus what would be best for my body doesn’t even come close). So with the unification end of summer approaching, 5 brave souls came out for a classic Mudslide beatdown(another one probably worse coming tomorrow). There was also some extended broga today close to 15 minutes worth get the muscles stretched. The only adjustment to the workout due to the darkness, I had to change up the final run which ended up being a full Satan’s hill stop sign all the way up and back(a mini twin team style hill). This is the workout(if you were here, a good practice for the IronPax starting next week. I

    i will post the workout obj the Satan’s hill page, it’s a good simple one that will get you ready for Iron Pax

  • 3rd Piece of Stromboli

    9 strong came out to end the week right where it is always 70 and soupy. The mornings are getting shorter, need to use the light while we have it. Coming off the F3 Fantasy draft where our gracious host DK stuffed us full of wings and a definitely not needed 3rd slice of Stromboli this was a struggle for YHC.

  • Purple Rain??

    7 HIM’s showed up to Satan’s Hill expecting 45 minutes of Jazzercise. Nancy ended up going OOT so YHC stepped in to lead the boys! Purple Rain was apparently talking some mess about YHC’s boot camps so a BRUTAL plan was in place. However, he wasn’t able to make it out today so the PAX was in luck.

    WARMARAMA – Moseyed to the top of the hill and back. Gave the mission, stretched (w/ Jazzercise included) and got into it.

  • Indigenous Rings of Fire

    Eight HIMS came out to Satan’s Hill on this cool morning to end the week on a high note. After a brief mosey, we warmed up with side straddle hops, Don Quixote, Ukrainian Soldiers, and some deadman hangs.

    For the workout, took a tour of the neighborhood Indigenous Run style. After all members of the pax completed their sprint, we circled up for a Ring of Fire. After a full cycle through the Ring of Fire, we hit the pavement again for another Indigenous Run. Rinse and Repeat. When we finally returned to the clubhouse, Mudslide led us in 10 minutes of broga to take us home.

    Was it a beat down? Not all. But it was a good, full body workout to end another week.

    COT: names and numbers. Announcements: Homegrown half in 2 weeks, overnight ruck in September. Prayer requests: Teddy KGB’s daughter has surgery today; No Show bowed out of today’s workout early with a calf strain. It was an honor to lead you fine gentlemen this morning!
