  • Tour De Rountrey

    A wiseman once told me that you should be stretched and ready to go at 5:30. Today we put that to the test!

    At 5:30 we had 11 people, and by 6:15 we had 13 – not bad!

    Indian run from the clubhouse, to the end of Litton, and around the corner just a bit. Last man 1 burpee run to front. PAX was happy to find a stash of cinder blocks and sandbags.

    All you need is one Triple Check – team up!
    P1 – 8x curls, 8x overhead press, 8x skullcrushers
    P2 – 10 HRM, 15X CDD, 30x Mountain Climbers
    P3 – Grab the sandbag and run to a Point of Interest (POI), drop sandbag and run back to team.

    P1 & P2 would take a rest between sets because P3 had a bit of a distance to run…Once the group rallied, run to the sandbag and bring your block. Rotate at next POI.

    Notable POI: Started around toby’s house, Close to Rudy’s house (close enough to know he was sleeping comfortably), Pink door house, new modern home, random intersection, BTTF, and one more top of the hill and back for good measure.

    The PAX still had some fight left in them so we did a second indian run through the bunker.

    YHC finished it off with 4 minutes of stretching.

    BOS finale Thursday. 6/25 7-9pm X GOLF – all are welcome
    7/4 Convergence GRIDIRON 7am – be there!

  • To finish in front of the Queen

    9 men fought off the fartsack to start the week right and welcome a beatdown. 72 and sunny with 100% humidity! According to the early clubhouse gym attendees, here is what went down.

    Quick mosey around the parking lot to start.  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.

Progressive repeating all exercises at each turn. 5 squats, 10 merkins, 15 WWII’s, 20 Jump squats, 25 Plank jacks, 30 lunges, 35 Hello dollies. Once we arrived at 35 we continued dropping 5 each round until back to start. Finished with minute to spare for a Stretch OYO.

  • Sweating out the Weekend

    15 of F3s finest rolled into The Alamo to get their week kicked off right. YHC was ready to sweat out bad weekend decisions.

    0530 and LFG. Short little mosey go get the heart rate up. Warmarama of Modifiers / Mankillers starting at 10, jazzercise, highknees, merkins into plank into mountain climbers into shoulder taps.

    COP 1: Run down and through the tunnel for 11s. Jump squats and run up the stairs to the street for merkins

    COP 2: Jog back to the tennis courts for four corners. Just stack at each corner 10 Carolina Dry Docks, 20 fence smokers, 30 merkins, 40 SSH. Feeling like caged animals, bearcrawls were the mode of transportation to each corner.

    COP 3: Triple check. Timer up the hill to the far pole, others performed jump squats and raise the roofs.

    Just enough time to get back to the flag for a plank and name the PAX member to your left. Only 5 penalty merkins. Nice work PAX!!

    Just a few rounds of ring of Mary abs 10 reps.

    Numbers, Names, PR, COT

    https://claude.ai/public/artifacts/de13e548-9725-4b1c-98f1-f54b538a178c

    A long time ago in a parking lot not so far away…

    The PAX assembled in the darkness. No one new the suffering that awaited.

    The dark side of fitness called to them. But the force – and the Q – was strong.

    Armed with nothing but their bodies, and a serious lack of sleep, they would face the Empire, and each other.

    May the fourth be with you. Always

    Link above for the beatdown. Welcome to Patrick “Autotune” Newbie, the latest FNG to make his way out to Alamo. He is neighbors with Futon and they’re daughters go to school together. He is a music producer and a lot of his stuff can be heard on the radio.

    Prayers for Christian & Rudy

  • Clear as Rudy (Mud)

    A strong showing on a brisk morning, but Alamo crew was as strong as a 3 month old baby. Yeah Swoop is a beast, but I guess it was too fridged for the rest.

    Quick mosey around the lot. Basic introduction. SSH, IW’s, Jazzercise, DQ’s, Willy Mays Hayes, Roscoe’s mom, merkins, LBC’s ETC.

    Despite crystal clear directions the PAX struggled with understanding where I was going or trying to lead them?

    Split the Pax in 2. Go to separate ends of lot. 1 runner from each team race to the center for 10 Bouyah Merkins or WWII’s alternating. Remaining PAX does exercise of runners choice. First round was like coaching my 5 year old son in Tee Ball! Losing team does burpees.

    Mosey to the bunker for round 2 and 3. Same premise but start at top of hill and race to center of bunker.

    Some wheels were shown, no one was hurt and beatdown was complete.

    Prayers to Hermie’s 2.0. YHC took us out in prayer.

  • 400th Post

    400 is definitely a small number compared to many of the F3RVA PAX that have posted 1,000+ times, but we learned today that 400 is a big number for quantities of certain exercises! 20 HIMs rolled in to The Alamo on this cool morning for YHC’s 400th post. Here is how it went down:

    Warmup: Mosey to the top of the hill across from The Alamo and back to circle up for appreciation to all PAX for showing up and supporting YHC in his F3 venture, F3 Mission/Core Principles/Disclaimer and various IC exercises

    COP 1: Partner up for Dora with 3 exercises (Carolina Dry Docks, Monkey Humpers, Box Cutters) x 400 of each. Other partner heads to the tennis court and runs suicide with 4 lines. We learned that we have filled our quota for these 3 exercises for the week!

    COP 2: 4(00) Corners: Corner 1 – SSH x 100, Corner 2 – Shoulder Taps x 100, Corner 3 – Flutter Kicks x 100, Corner 4 – Squats x 100

    COP 3: Circle Up for Build a Bank to 400 – Up/Downs AKA Flying Squirrels according to Crabgrass followed by Firecrackers

    Ended with 1 minute to stretch whatever is needed and 1 Burpee each.
