** AUGUST 28 ** YHC Q last Friday at DAC. That was almost a week ago, but here goes! Group of 8 PAX gathered at Apex Community Park eagerly anticipating a Sooey Q (hey it was last week!). YHC forgot the Pledge, there was no flag. And we were off at 5:30 sharp. Mosey to the normal warm up spot for some warm up. Mosey to the large shelter for a routine of Step ups, Urkins, and Dips.

Date: 8/24/2020 QIC: Bartman YHC was happy to grab a Q spot at Hell’s Bells, and even happier to stumble upon some inspiration for the workout on the facetubes. F3 Little Spoon posted a quick “while your M is off doing top secret bond girl stuff” workout, and while clearly his lifestyle is not typical suburbia, it sounded like a good “while your M is yelling at the kids to get out of bed” material.

Yep, it’s been 3 years of F3 for YHC. I decided to keep this low key, not Q every day of the week, but do a single anniversary Q at the site where I started. My 3 year F3 journey has been epic - I’ve grown in ways I couldn’t imagine. Not just physically but emotionally and in how I relate to and lead others. F3 truly is leadership training thinly disguised as a men’s workout group. [Read More]

10 PAX gather in the gloom for an Eahart KB beatdown. As I pull up a group of HIM were running in after some EC/BRR training. Personally, I will be glad once BRR is done and we can get back to F3. Anywho, Mosey around the parking lot and to the front of the church for: Warm Up Control freak Good Mornings Imperial Walkers Side Straddle Hops Sir Fazio/Seal Claps [Read More]

This week has been crazy. I am a day late in writing my backblast. Monday I found out one of my work friends died over the weekend. My volunteer work has picked up. Deadlines in my day job. And yet Crimson brought up the fact that Tortoises didn’t have a Q and I felt compelled to put my name on this Q sheet. I did not really plan the workout. I did not have the time to do it.

When @Sooey proposed the idea of YHC taking on the open Q spot at Tortioses, the initial thought was “what about this nagging, lingering knee injury”. The closer it got to Wednesday, YHC jumped in “just because”. The spousal unit, aka the M, said “You complain constantly about your knee at home and you are going to Q? What are you thinking? Why are you doing this?” YHC had no viable response other than “just because @Sooey asked me to”… It was going to be a knee friendly workout to not cause further damage. [Read More]

This guy and Chanticleer for a little EC Bells were grabbed, instructions were given, running was questioned. **The Thang **Our workout was similar to a Murph in the sense that we ran a mile, did 3 exercises for a period of time, then finished with another mile. The 3 exercises were KB Merkin/Row combo; Goblet Squat; KB swing. We did sets of 5;10;15 respectively and repeated until we ran out of time. [Read More]

Pre-pledge: Nature called for Snots. Fortunately, he brought a roll of TP. Mama’s Boy shared a silly song on being stranded without TP, and also the proper technique for disposing of waste if one finds himself high up on mountain rock with nowhere to dig: either pack it out or smear thinly. Leave no PAX behind - same with turds in the alpine. Pledge, then mosey to lot 1 for the first thang: - good mornings, arm circles, windmills, plank, merkins [Read More]
