30 of Area 51’s finest including 3 FNG’s descended upon Death Valley and came out stronger and dirtier men. With a mysterious trailer in tow captivating and possibly intimidating the early pax, YHC rolled into the parking lot with a plan to inflict some pain. Here’s what we did:
Mosey down to track, run one lap and circle up in the center of the field.
Circle of PAIN:
10 burpees
SSH x 30
9 burpees
IW x 27 (actually 28)
8 burpees
LSS x 24
7 burpees
MC x 21
6 burpees
Peter Parkers x 18
5 burpees
Slow Merkins x 15
4 burpees
Heels to heaven x 12
3 burpees
Slow Wide Arm Merkins x 9
2 burpees
Dancing Chill Cut x 6
1 burpee
Slow Diamond Merkins x 3
Mosey one lap around track and back to center field for instruction on the circuit:
10 burpees OYO
Corner 1: Squat Jumps x 10
Corner 2: Dancing Chill Cuts x 10
Corner 3: Merkins x 10
Corner 4: Heels To Heaven x 10
1 lap around track
Rinse and repeat with each corner going up in increments of 10. Burpees stay at 10. Total of 3 rounds.
Back up to Parking Lot for some quick Mary led by Sussudio:
All Done
Ye Naked Moleskin:
First off, it was a great group of guys out there today. Everyone that I saw was seriously putting some work in out there and sweating up a storm. With this being my first Q at Death Valley and knowing it was going to be a large crowd, I hope I was able to put something together that was solid/painful for everyone. Thank you all for the opportunity and the support out there.
I was seriously pondering tweeting out pictures of the trailer last night just to gain some intrigue, but it was so much better just to show up and let all the speculation begin right in front of me. I knew I had raised a few eye brows when before I had even gotten out of my car, Semi-Gloss was walking over to me like a manager coming out of the dugout to tell me I’m being relieved. Although, I’m pretty sure he was just hoping the trailer was stocked full of booze.
Ahhh, the ol’ burpee ladder to kickstart a Death Valley workout. I was one leg away from channeling Stage Coach, but I knew I would not have survived it myself. I had enough going on trying to work my way down by 3’s as pointed out by several pax. I do believe we ALMOST skipped a round of burpees, but you can thank Gummy for reminding me. Gummy was the one by the end of the workout that had dirt (we think) all over his forehead from his vigorous Heels To Heaven.
It was clear that when I divided the 30 pax into two groups that one was smarter than the other. Of course it was the group that YHC was NOT a part of as that group decided to keep their clothes relatively dry by doing all exercises on the nice dry (sections) of the track, while the other group (including myself) did all of our exercises on the nasty, rain soaked, skin clinging, dirty soil of the field. Cobains to all in my group.
At one point I thought I was going to break off to jump into the other (smarter) group, but I didn’t have the energy to keep up. But I did try to give Horsehead some instruction to take over for me if our group was to finish up first. He immediately responded with, “Why are you telling me this? I’m about to pass out!” Classic!
Great job to our 3 FNG’s Bear Cat, Interpol, and Deflator! I don’t recall any of them slowing down once. Gummy, what kind of consulting do they do??? Seriously, whenever you guys are in town, you are welcome to come by and get your shoes dirty!
Thanks to Sussudio for leading us all in some Mary and for being an inspiration to each of us on your dedication to exercise and outright ability to make the rest of us look ridiculously out of shape. You are a beast and Florida doesn’t know what’s coming. Safe travels and send us a post card! Oh and let us know when we can all visit. Hope you have enough room for a few hundred pax!
Any other observations, please chime in on the comments.
Until next time,
Prohibition
Announcements:
On a quiet muggy morning, 22 of Area 51’s fastest PAX put their trust in YHC to lead them along a journey of musical excellence and a half decent running workout. With the non existent Fast Twitch Shovel Flag firmly planted in mind of Purple Haze, a bumbling buddy system toting disclaimer, and ears full of magical tunes from the 80’s coming from my car, it all went down something like this:
Warm up jog around the parking lot with some high knees and butt kickers before taking a group slow mosey all the way to the Arboretum in front of the ABC Store (aka Spackler’s house).
COP:
Grab your partner and play a little catch me if you can all the way to the movie theater. 10 Squat Jumps at each interchange.
Partner 1 runs suicides while partner 2 does called exercise:
Mosey to through Arboretum past Le Peep (yum), Akropolis (yum) and Chili’s (yuck) and down the steps towards the pond. This is our base camp while one partner runs the other does called exercise:
Line up for an Indian Run back through the neighborhood along Windbluff. Plank it up at the corner of Windbluff and Raintree Ln to wait for six. Almost out of time so everyone head back to AO. Total Mileage 4.76ish.
FIN
Ye naked moleskin:
What a sweaty morning! Thanks to everyone for coming out and supporting me on my first FT Q. I apologize for going over by a few minutes. Turkey Leg said because of that I have to Q next week. He just wants to listen to more incredible music!
We started the morning off by having my speakers blasting “Invincible” by Pat Benetar followed by “Our House” by Madness. Yeah, it got everyone pumped. I told everyone to buddy up because we are going straight to the Arboretum. The mummblechatter grew quickly as I went the opposite way through the parking lot for a brief warmup. I knew where I was going, by the way…maybe. I’m sure everyone thought they were clear from another Prohibition playlist until we got to the Arbo and what do you know? YHC’s mini speakers are right there waiting for us. And with that, the best vocal/party/rocknroll band ever hit the ear drums of the PAX with one of their finest works. Van Halen’s 1984 album in its entirety. FANTASTIC way to start any morning.
The suicides were terrrible, the calf raises were terrible, and the flutters were terrible. It actually made the regular running a little more bearable. You’re welcome. I don’t know about anyone else, but I was completely smoked. I don’t really remember much else from the workout other than hating myself for making me do this.
I know Purple Haze and Semi Gloss were digging the tunes as they turned the Imperial Walkers into Imperial Go Go Dancers. The 80’s called. They want their moves back. Alf seemed to be doing just fine as he was whistling and humming (Van Halen I’m sure) on the Indian Run back. Van Pelt and I struggled together on what seemed like endless flutters. Haze told me how much he loved the background singing by Van Halen. “So pure” I think he said. Hairball busted himself by leaving a sweat impint of his six on the bench where he was supposed to be doing dips. That’s about all I can recollect.
Seriously, great work by everyone out there today. Shout out to those really fast guys who kept making a point to turn around and get the six (I would know because I was back there = leading from behind). Thanks for the take out by Flutie Flakes. Thanks to TL and PH for allowing me to lead after all of my excuses and rescheduling. I hope the anticipation didn’t outperform the actual showing.
Chime in with anyone else’s experiences today.

Moderate Running Workout Fridays at South Charlotte Middle starting June 5th.
17 men made the right choice on this perfectly temperatured morning by coming to The Matrix. With the Virtual Shovel Flag firmly planted in the cloud, and no current site q’s to be seen, YHC decided to have a little fun and bust out some tunes to kick start the week. Here’s how it went from there…
Mosey around the entire school and back to lower parking lot for some COP:
Mosey to the stumps for YHC’s pyramid of pain:
Mosey to the front of the school by the big wall:
Mosey to playground for one round of circuit work:
Back to the cars for only a little mary:
That is all.
Moleskin:
So knowing that Alf was going to be absent today and with no Uncle Leo when I arrived, I decided to have a little more fun and bring the Day Zero Jamz portable speakers with the playlist ready to rock. Some might say I planned the playlist so well that it was syncing up to what exercises we were doing (Apache – “Jump On It” came on during the stump jumping portion and Wyclef’s “We Trying to Stay Alive” during the Mary). As I clearly stated in the long winded (but necessary) disclaimer, I am not a professional DJ. Thank you all for putting up with some of my music selections as Joker asked at one point, “Is this Olivia Newton John?” No, sir. Not this time. That was Bonnie Tyler – “Holding Out For a Hero” from Footloose. I think that put an extra pep in your step during those grinders, though.
We also learned what an Imperial Squat is today. Interesting w/ a high degree of difficulty again according to Joker. It may or may not have come from a FIA workout. Regardless of where it came from, I’m keeping it around. For some reason he was the only one I could hear through the mummblechatter. I must have been too close to the speakers. If anyone else had anything good to say, chime in on the comments.
Great group of guys out there this morning. I kept looking around to make sure nobody was falling behind, but everyone kept bringing it the entire time. Our plankoramas did not last very long. Maybe I should have added more air presses? Seriously, everybody was smoking it today.
Orange Whip – I think you said it was your first time at The Matrix. Welcome brother and keep coming back!
Header – Thanks for the take out and best of luck keeping your AO clean on Fridays with the Kevlar crew joining you for the next many months!
Announcements:
Tomorrow 4/28 – Fast Twitch and Swift converging at Community House Middle School for a timed mile. Come find out how fast you are!
11 men made the right decision to show up at Day Zero to witness greatness be born with Garbanzo making his Virgin Q. With the virtual shovel flag firmly planted in the cloud, here is how it all went down:
Garbanzo Q:
Lap around the track to Basketball Court for COP:
Run one lap around the track and back to the court:
Run one lap around the track and back to the court:
Run one lap around the track and back to the court:
Prohibition Q:
Run to Yellow Rose parking lot for Mud Run circuit – partner up:
Rinse & Repeat
Mosey behind Yellow Rose to the big flat wall of Tuesday Morning:
Mosey back to school and around the front to the smaller play ground & break into 2 groups:
Fence Hop all the way down (scratched due to risk of injury)
That’s the ball game!
Ye Naked Moleskin:
Announcements:
With the shovel flag firmly planted in the soggy earth, 8 men braved the unknown weather conditions and again proved that Day Zero is the best Saturday workout in Area 51.
Spackler on Q:
Quick lap around the parking lot and head to the Rose parking lot for COP:
Alabama Slamma Time – Merkins & Air Press. P1 does 20 merkins while P2 does air presses. Flap Jack. Both partners each do 20, 19, 18…all the way down to 1 sets of merkins. #swolefest
Mosey to bottom of Carswell Ln for some 7s. Jump Squats at the bottom, Carolina Dry Docks at the top.
Mosey back to Elementary School parking lot for more merkins. Run to each light post and island for 10 merkins at each stop = 60 merkins
Prohibition on Q:
Mosey back to Rose parking lot and get back with partners.
Partner 1 runs to steps, bunny hops to the top, run to corner of parking lot entrance for 30 LBCs and back to partner. Partner 2 does called exercise until P1 returns. Flapjack. 3 rounds each.
Mosey behind Rose to a nice secluded area and find some wall.
Mosey back to Rose parking lot.
Mosey back to AO for some Mary.
That’s a wrap.
Ye Naked Moleskin:
Great group of men today and great to have Stone Cold and Floor Slapper join us today. Hope you enjoyed and come back any every time.
The Alabama Slamma/merkinfest was as painful as it sounds. The Year of the Breast Chest is off to a good start. Not going to have much function in my arms for the rest of the day. Great job by Spackler as he claimed he was just making it all up as he went. YHC and Geraldo need to go back to the 1st grade and learn how to count. There was a little confusion on our parts.
Return of the weird green car that was in the parking lot, running, the entire time. Somebody was either sleeping it off from an awesome night at the Rose, or they were dead. Hopefully just resting up for another night of partying like a rock star. It also may have been Radar who was nowhere to be found.
Purple Haze struggled with the bunny hops up the steps. Sometimes it’s the easy ones that trip you up. It’s okay Haze…we’ll work on that one more.
First time we adventured behind the Rose. It was nice and secluded and was obvious it is where all the magic happens after encounters at the Rose…or high school kids. We also found the VIP lounge where all the decisions are made on how the Rose continues to be a successful operation.
While back there we came across a couple of FNGs while doing the People’s Chair. Their names were Refuse & Nik. It also could have just been a couple of our own that didn’t want to do more air presses. What happened to Iron Sharpens Iron?
Announcements:
Quarry Crusher run in Columbia, SC on 4/18. Spackler is in charge.
Red, Light and Blue run. I can’t remember details, so reach out to Geraldo.
Shamrock 4 miler is 3/14 at Stonecrest. There is an F3 Area 51 group on the signup you can click. Might be a Day Zero official event???
Anything else? Check the weekly email.
It was a balmy 30 degrees, the music was pumpin’, and 7 men were ready for a workout. It went something like this…
Prohibition on Q:
Mosey half way around the “track” with portable music device and to the center of the field for COP.
SSH x 20 (Welcome Radar – now up to 8 “men”)
Slow Merkin x 10
IW x 20
Slow Wide Arm Merkin x 10
Low Slow Squat x 20
The Thang:
Size yourselves up and grab a partner. From center of field, Partner 1 runs to playground and does 10 pullups. Partner 2 runs to opposite corner for 10 burpees. Meet back in the middle. While P1 planks, P2 does 10 Derkins off of partners back. Flapjack. Then P1 runs to burpees while P2 runs to pullups. That is 1 round. Rinse and Repeat for 3 complete rounds.
Welcome Spacker. Up to 9 men.
Head over to rock stone pile and pick out a solid exercise stone.
Partner Stone Tap Situps x 20
Stone Curls x 15 IC
Stone Overhead Press x 15 IC
Stone Tricep Extenstion x 15 IC
Partner Stone Tap Situps x 20
Return you stone and hand over Q to Hairball.
Mosey to Touchstone parking lot:
Partner Drags to first island (about 10 parking spaces) towards Yellow Rose, flapjack back to start. 20 elbow plank hand slaps. Rinse and Repeat.
Elbow Peter Parker x 20 IC
Single Leg Merkins x 10 each leg IC
Ballet Squats (Plies) x 50, maybe (distracted by the lovers [see below] nobody was counting)
Backward suicide across YR lot, stopping at each row of parking spots with 1 partner exercising, 1 partner running.
Round 1: Crab Kicks
Round 2: Bear Squats
Mosey back to soccer fields for a little game Hairball likes to call “Steal The Bacon”. Partners now become enemies as two teams are formed with each person planking across from their partner and numbering off. A knotted towel (bacon) was placed in the center between the lines. When a number was called, the pax with that number from each team sprinted to the bacon. The objective was to bring the bacon across your starting line. Winning team each round x 10 merkins. Losing team each round x 10 burpees.
All numbers were called for head to head action. Final round, all numbers were called for a full-on scrum. After many scrapes, bruises, and soccer tackles, Team @boutique brought home some bacon.
Mosey to front parking and find some room on the benches.
Derkins x 10
Flutters x 20
Step Ups x 10 each leg
Incline Merkins x 10
Curb Flutters x 20
Step Ups x 10 each leg
Mary:
J-Lo x 15
Dolly x 20
Ye Naked Moleskin:
The promise of party rockin’ at Day Zero only lasted so long when it is below freezing outside. The music was pumping for a good 15 minutes before the speakers decided to shut down due to the cold. Party Rockin’ shall commence on warmer days. Maybe a good thing as YHC’s music choices always get a few eye rolls and crude remarks.
Glad Radar and Spackler could join us today. Spackler arrived a solid 10 minutes late during the Partner Burpee/Pullup exercise claiming the only reason he showed at all was because he thought somebody else was coming…who did not. I thought it was easier to wake up early when not on the sauce. Better late than never, gentlemen.
Radar can do a lot of things, but a bear squat is not one of them. “I just can’t feel it”, he says. Maybe shaving the beard also trimmed off a little manliness. The only AO in Area 51 that does Bear Squats and he still can’t figure it out.
What appeared at first to be a lovely goodbye kiss and walk of shame, turned into just another random sketchy encounter in the Yellow Rose parking lot. 2 people get out of a car. Make out a little. See 9 men doing ballet squats. 2 people get back into car and drive away.
Steal The Bacon got physical…real physical. Frosty fields made for a lot of sliding and some serious collisions. Things went to a whole new level of weird when Hannibal matched up against Tiger Rag. A true David (because that’s his real name) vs Goliath moment as it was the most size -mismatched and entertaining scrum of the day. Both men got to the bacon at the same time. Hannibal somehow got TR spun around and was gaining some ground pulling the bacon – with TR attached – back towards his side. In the closing steps, TR pulled the ol’ “sit on your opponents head” maneuver and regained leverage. After a bit more hand fighting that would have made Haggis proud, TR prevailed. Hannibal, lucky that his toboggan got pushed down over his eyes so he did not have to see TR’s bacon, has hopefully washed (or burnt) said toboggan.
The former site Qs are obviously struggling with letting go. Constant looking over the shoulder and backseat driving the whole time. Change is hard, brothers. #dealwithit
Announcements:
Twas several nights before Christmas when approximately 120 people from Area 51 (Pax & M’s) joined together at The Sugar Creek Brewing Company to celebrate a very merry F3 Christmas together.
What a great night we had for our 3rd annual Area 51 Christmas Party! Thank you to everyone who came out and we hope you had a great time, enjoyed the food and the beer! It was so nice to have so many of us in one place where we can actually see each other, as well as, get the chance to really talk and meet our better halves. That was the fastest 3 hour party I’ve ever been to. We packed the place out and raised a lot of money for the Area 51 Operational Funds so we can make it easier to do events like this in the future (like the Jan. 10th movie viewing of “Unbroken” – SIGN UP HERE). Lots of raffle tickets were sold and some great prizes were won. I think we all know the big winner was The Mouth by taking home the surprise raffle prize – – A Giant Tube of BenGay! May your muscles forever be relieved. Again, thank you to all of the companies that donated prizes!
The highlight of the evening was our good friend Hops showing off his poetry skills with his version of “Twas The Night Before Christmas”. Here is the link to the video: https://socialcam.com/v/nmPlKMdu?autostart=true&fs=twitter&fsk=RvuKia6y
The best part of the night was seeing how much canned goods were donated to help stock the Calvary Church Food Pantry. The real impact was a couple days later when Hops, Mermaid, and myself delivered it and seeing how much food was actually collected and how much it truly meant to the folks at Calvary. They were blown away and we were told it came at the most perfect time. THANK YOU ALL!
I’m sure there are more pictures out there that truly capture the evening, but here are just a few:
Thanks yous go out to the following:
Well that’s a wrap folks. I hope you had as much fun as I did and that you all join us next year. Anyone wanting to take over in the planning process of this event or other future F3 events, please reach out to Tiger Rag or myself. I hope you and your family have a very Merry Christmas and we will see you out in the gloom!

Partner work continues:
Find some wall for People’s Chair:

Moleskin:
Great job out there today by 8 very manly men. YHC was concerned that our headcount would be a little low since several of our usuals were avoiding the expected beatdown and opted to go for a 26.2 mile run on Kiawah Island instead. It was great having Iron Horse, Bug Eater, The Mouth, and Sweetness join us today. Come back every Saturday.
Hairball and YHC wanted to give everyone a preview of what is to come in 2015 at Day Zero: pure pain. I think the message was received. The Mouth lived up to his name and did not stop talking about how heavy his stone was and saying he wished he had gone to The Rock for an easier workout. After the 3rd round of partner stone situps/hand slap merkins, an unnamed PAX may or may not have spilled some merlot. He claims he saw something behind the trashcan and needed to investigate, but YHC is pretty sure I heard a splash of some sort. Dear Abby beasted it when he picked up a small asteroid for the stone work. Don’t break the typewriter when you put out your next article.
The term “rock” is no longer accepted at Day Zero. Rocks are pathetic. Stones are for men.
Thanks to Iron Horse for the great take out. Our prayers are with our brothers running the marathon today. Good luck, men.

The Naked Moleskin:
It was a nice cool morning for a beat down with a bigger than usual crowd at The Matrix. After YHC claimed this was “my workout”, I was quickly told otherwise by Snowflake’s four legged friend that he was in charge of the COP. I had planned for more merkins and more LBCs, but I could not keep my cadence together with all of his barking and attempted Q Jacking so I had to bail and move us down to the lower lot. Just for the record, the dog had a better cadence call than me.
Really great work by all today. The round of 30 jump ups got pretty tough on the wet stumps. I was very glad we didn’t have any Stump Hugger wannabes with us. YHC didn’t plan on having 16 PAX show up, so I should have changed up the wall walk as several got bunched up at the back. Also, about half way through the People’s Chair/Count I realized maybe I should have gone with 5 counts instead of 10. The legs were severely shaking about half way through.
