I will not leave you

Men, Two years ago today I showed up in the F3 Carpex Gloom at the invite of my fraternity brother, Jamie “Repeato” Roseborough. I had been back in North Carolina for about eight months and things were going well.

Something was still missing, and as they say, you now know the rest of the story. [Read More]

Bunch of Half-Dead Romanians (Friday, May 3rd)

SWW remains one of my favorite AO’s and with the stash of CMU’s (Cinder Blocks) acquired by Bayonne….it’s even more versatile! I try to keep most of my workouts to fairly high-tempo, constant movement type stuff, and I also try to ensure we hit at least one lesser-used muscle group. Today was no different and the targeted lesser muscles were the back and hamstrings. 25 HIM’s showed up to see what was in store, and I’m not one to disappoint! [Read More]

The Hill is Alive

Perfect morning at FWD! Site I don’t get to a whole lot – great to get together with some fine high-impact men. 14 HIMs gathered – No FNGs, only familiar faces. F3 intro given & we started with the pledge. Moseyed around the parking lot & painted some lines. With all that running out of the way, we rolled into: The Warm Up Circle up for SSH, good mornings, windmills, imperial walkers, hill billies, calf stretch merkins, etc. [Read More]
