  • Is that Cookie????

    10 HIMs found their way to the Alamo this morning for a late Q grab by YHC.

    Light mosey down to the new section with a indigenous people run back to the flag. Waiting for us was a masked individual. First stretch needed to be DMH to ensure the masked F3er was in fact Cookie……. The moans indicated it was. After a series of stretches and such, the PAX wandered down the frozen path to the tunnel. During the stops we kept loosing Wildcat, oh wait, he was just doing burpees.

    Dora was up. Timer ran to the far end of the tunnel with a burpee before heading back. The exercises were as followed. 100 V ups, 200 double count mountain climbers, 300 double count flutters. With the hysterical (but glad hes ok) image of Fandango slipping down his icy stairs, the PAX walked up the frozen path to the back of the pool.

    11’s we next up with Carolina Dry Docks and jump squats at the top of the hill. PAX was relieved YHC did not call for a bear crawl up the hill. Oh but wait.

    To the tennis courts for The Cycle. Starting at one corner of the court, bear craw to “1st” base, 3 burpees, walk back to home. Bear crawl through first base to 2nd base, 6 burpees, walk back to home. Bear crawl through 1st and 2nd to 3rd base, 9 burpees, walk back to home. Lunged around the diamond back to home. With 63 burpees to his tally, the PAX did 7 more to make it an even 70 for the Wildcat.

    With the remaining 30 second was an elbow plank. Time called. YHC Tarantinoed the mission statement, Wins, PR, announcements, COT.

    Win- Wildcat with a clean scan! You are a pilar for us!

    Frozen Triangle chatter. The what, the when and signup support sheet.

    Always an honor to lead you gents!!!

  • No more slurpees for the Alamo guy. Just slush.

    title refers to this current event: https://www.wtvr.com/news/local-news/7-eleven-fire-time-square-drive-chesterfield-jan-5-2025

    Anyway – six dudes today. No injuries.

    Warmorama: SSH, squats, merkins and some stretches.

    COP 1: Triple check behind the pool: Squats and Merkins. Runner to edge of woods and back.

    COP 2: Slide over to the bunker for 11s in the dry part. SSH and 2x flutters.

    Next – gave option to check out the burned down 711 or stay in the bunker for beatdown. Good choice from Pax because the beatdown would have involved burpees. Jogged to 711 and back. Yup. It’s burned down. News crews there for the story of the day. Potentially the site of Chick Filet joint venture?

    Mosey back to Alamo for a very quick DoRA of 50/100/150 – merkins/squats/SSH.

    Numbers/Names.

    1. Pray for WC and his quarterly cancer scans 1/7.
    2. Pray for safety.
    3. Frozen triangle in 1 month.

  • Triple Decker

    6 HIMs emerged from the gloom ready to take on a New Year’s Eve Eve beatdown. After a quick mosey down the street and BTTF, we started off with some stretching. We were delighted to see Big Herm’s truck pull up (only a few minutes late…). 6 became 8 and we were ready to rock n’ roll.

    After warmup and stretches, mosey to clubhouse door for the first leg of the Triple Decker (a la 3 triple checks).

    Round 1 – J Lo’s + Cinder Block Squats + runner to top of hill and back

    Round 2 – Move over to corner of parking lot. 8 count Shazams + Cinder Block Kettlebell Swings + Runner to top of hill and back

    Round 3 – Move down to the waterslide part of the parking lot. Plank Walks + No Surrenders + runner to dumpsters and back

    Closed it out with a Ring of Fire Merkins.

    Announcements and Prayers. Everyone be safe tomorrow and make it home. Call an Uber

  • Nightmare Before Christmas

    15 HIMs came out to make some room on the waistline to enjoy some delicious and moist cookies…according to the random pile of cinder blocks we found deep in The Alamo, here’s what happened:

    PAX mentioned they were cold, so YHC kept things moving. Mosey to the playground and instead of circling up, we lined up for warmarama. SSH then high knees to next mailbox, Imperial Walkers then butt kickers to next mailbox, etc. Rotate to end of street.

    Merkin alley. Ascending Merlin’s every driveway to 5, then descending to the end.

    oh what’s this, a pile a cinder blocks? Don’t mind if I do. Partner up for MOUNT DORA. Fun little nugget of a hill tucked away in a far away corner of the neighborhood. 100 merkins, 200 curls, 300 mountain climbers, 200 overhead press, 100 squats. Runner to top of hill and back.

    ascending firecrackers back on the road, followed by copperhead squats + high knees/butt kickers and mosey BTTF. Round of Merlin’s to close us out.

    Announcements, prayers, and a round of bourbon for all.

  • Woodsman VQ: 2nd attempt

    Woodsman VQ

    16 HIMs joined the Woodsman for his long overdue VQ in the elements. It was cold, wet, and raining, all of which we conquered.

    Again, thank you guys for the support this morning. I had planned to have my VQ back in July but got injured going through a trial run the weekend prior. F3 has been great for me and I appreciate you all.  

  • Christmas Lights = Swingers

    14 grown-boys stumbled out of bed and made their way to The Alamo this morning to get their week started RIGHT! YHC was out of town last week and was feeling fat/lazy so the PAX was treated to some extra cardio. Here’s what went down…

    10 fine F3 studs jumped out of their cozy beds to start the day off doing something difficult. There were a few interesting uncoverings as well.

  • Rippin’ a$$

    15 grown-boys got their week started right at The Alamo! Although only some of the PAX was able to attend the Chili Cookoff yesterday, we all paid for it. It’s safe to say that the old saying “beans, beans the magical fruit…the more you eat, the more you toot” proved true this morning.

  • Coupons and 11’s: Breakfast of Champions (Crabgrass version)

    13 HIMs emerged from the weekend gloom to re-live a workout from 8 months ago. According to the morning walkers and their lit up dogs, here’s what went down.

    Warmarama – 100 exercises to get the blood flowing, 10 each – SSH, imperial walkers, copperhead squats, arm circles big and small, don quixote, helicopters, merkins, LBC, heels to heaven

    11’s – Tennis court to dumpster. hand release merkins to jump squats

    Mosey to other side for some coupon love. 100 merkins, 200 overhead press, 300 chest press. Marker lunge to tree and bernie back.

    Mosey to clubhouse for triple check. LBC, American Hammers, runner to stop sign and back.

    Circle up for ring of fire merkin style, plus a few extra for Merkin November stat padding.

    Circle up for announcements – chili cook-off @Alamo 11/24 3-6pm, Bridge 11/30. Prayer requests continued healing for Dumar’s Dad.

    Today was a milestone for YHC as I hit my 100th workout since joining F3 in March. The impact this has had on me has been immeasurable. I knew I needed to do something to change the course I was on but like most, I failed to find the motivation to do it. For months I made excuses and put off putting in work until one day Yeehaw texted me and asked me to come to a workout. I didn’t question it or make an excuse, I just said OK knowing very well it was going to be a tough morning. Halfway through doing 20 SSH’s, I was gassed and out of breath but instead of that being a deterrent, it lit a fire and has served as my motivation. 8 months later, I am down 55 pounds, I’ve developed strong bonds with many in the Pax, and I can see in each of the three F’s where I have made gains in my life. Thank you to everyone for the support along the way, and to Yeehaw for sending me that text. Invite an FNG out, you never know what impact it could have on them.

    On to the next 100 – see you in the gloom!

  • Find the Snowmen

    14 HIMs came out on a wet Monday morning to see what YHC had in store. I had prepared a nice easy workout to ease @ntb back into F3 after his time off but I think the fart sack got the best of him. so here is what went down…

    Slow mosey around the cul de sac and then Warmarama – SSH, Merkins, dead man hang, Ukrainian soldiers, Freddie Mercurys…some minor grumbling that the exercises were outside the typical also order but we moved forward.

    TRIPLE CHECK- LBC’s / Squats and runner runs to find a snowman each time looking for a different one. not many snowmen in the neighborhood yet !

    Off to ” the cage” for some 4 corners prostitute sale- YHC had the pax pin their pain – Merkins, Mountain climbers, jump squats , SSH

    Finished up with 11’s – decline merkins and monkey bumpers- karaoke across the parking lot.

    ANNOUNCEMENTS- Chili cookoff @ the Alamo, Hermey bringing people to the bridge at the end off the month!

    YHC took us out in prayer
