Intimidator Birthday Surprise Sans Intimidator

I found out the week earlier that Intimidator had just turned 59, but hadn’t told anyone. Never one to let a birthday go uncelebrated I planned a great Q for intimidator, yet he didn’t show. Oh well. Thang 1: 7’s Did 7’s on the hill next to the strip mall with diamond merkins at the top and jump squats at the bottom Thang 2: Intimidator Man-Makers Since we all want to be like intimidator when we hit 59 we did catch me if you can with man makers.

Frisco FOMO

YHC and site Q had the pleasure of leading the group on the last Hells Bells of 2019. By the end of this week it will be my 1 year anniversary with F3. I couldn’t thank this group enough for how much this has meant to me to be a part of Carpex. With my 1.0 in town for Christmas and a member of F3 Cleveland, I knew I had to bring my A game this morning. [Read More]

It's A Celebration

Christmas morning, 2019. What a great way to start the day - with my F3 brothers! Warm Up Following the Pledge, PAX are given gifts of a card with an exercise that they call. All the way around the horn until complete. The Thang Mosey to the Townside Drive hill, with a couple stops along the way. Christmas day Triple Nickel - 5 pullups at the top of the hill, 5 burpees at the bottom of the hill, 5 sets each. [Read More]

Asking Forgiveness, Not Permission

15 PAX gathered in the sub-freezing temps at Hunter Street park, not aware of the history that would be made today. Yes, there was some vague talk of an unprecedented event to occur here, but gotta keep em guessing. Right? Warm Up Keep warm mosey to get the legs moving, Pledge of Allegiance and circle up at the skate park for a standard round of SSHs, Moroccan Night Clubs, Seal Claps, Steve Earles, Plank Jacks and CFMs. [Read More]

Excuse Us

I knew the site-Qs were beginning to sweat as YHC rolled in with about 45 seconds to spare. I have a morning route and was running a touch behind even though I had already been awake for 50 minutes. Alas, 25 pax had gathered and were eager for a challenge as the clock read “Go time”. Disclaimer, Pledge of Allegiance, Follow Me. Warm-up: Mosey around the soccer and baseball field then back to skateboard park for some exercises. [Read More]

The Forgotten Hill

22 PAX of all ages, shapes and sizes gathered in the warm, moist gloom of Apex Nature park for a beat down of epic proportions. Little did they know. Warm up Allegiance is pledged, then mosey to the basketball court for SSHs, cotton pickers, good mornings, hill billies, 10 burpees and merkins (on my down AND up). The Thang At the first entrance is where we begin Double 11s. Monkey Humpers here, Peter Parker merkins at the second entrance. [Read More]

This Is 40

PAX Clementine, Disco Duck, Duce, Dust Bowl, Freebird, Hansen, Hotty Toddy, Mohawk, One Four, Passport, Pivot, Puddles, Revere, Rooney, Snapper, Sub, Two Factor This was YHC’s second Q ever and first time keeping the site flag safe (thanks for trusting me Red Ryder)! This was my birthday Q and turned 40 on 12/22. Good times. It was a beautiful morning and was quickly called out by the PAX that I overdressed.

Just Don't Re-name Me Tonya Harding

Anyone who as joined me on one of my Qs knows that if I do anything well it is that I expose the PAX to a few new exercises whether I make them up and tag them with a silly name (Drunken Snow-angel) or, as often is the case, dive deep into the Exicon to tap into the plethora of experience shared by F3 Nation. Today was no exception as I pulled out some of my favorites and added some of the lesser known as well. [Read More]

1stF #6 of 7 BD & F3’versary Q-week: Technical difficulties and assumptions did not sway the beatdown - Plan B modification at its best

The morning was wonderful. I had my plan all ready to go so I was not worried. I arrived to Seymour Park early. I was ready so I got out of the car and started to stretch. Theismann shows up to do some EC pull-ups. I went with him for fellowship. I’m still bummed that I cannot do regular pull-ups … injuries suck!!! About fifteen minutes left to start Hotty Toddy shows up so I flapped jack with him and headed back to the flag to prepare. [Read More]

1stF #4 of 6 BD & F3’versary Q-week: Plan B – 11s with multiple burpees taboot

On my drive to Tortoises in the blistering 27⁰ temperature, I took a small detour to scope out the AO. The original area I wanted to do my planned thang would not work due to safety concerns, black ice. Safety is ALWAYS #1 in my mind when leading a group of HIM. I reverted to Plan B. As I got into my parking spot, Theismann and Spartan were getting after ECP.
