Unnamed Pax in Raleigh: “Meat Smoker is a bit of an inappropriate name…” Waxhaw Pax: “Welcome Meat Smoker!”

Posse suckered me into filling in as Site Q at Homecoming while he jumped on this new Clean Slate site. Little did I know it would be a hard start on 1/1/21. That was until I asked him yesterday who was on Q there tomorrow. No one he said which is just freaking awesome.

So for my 60th Q I would be unwillingly thrust into the starting line up on a day they are trying to drive traffic to the new site? Who would show up? I can tell you who didn’t show up…all 12 guys over at Commitment. #selfish

Banjo committed he would be there so I knew I had at least one. Up until about 6:28:30 it was looking like we were going to decide to just bail on the post all together but instead drink coffee. We had Manziel from Raleigh and a local FNG show up.

6ft DiCCS was shared/explained so that the boys in Raleigh could start swinging around what we showed them in the dimly lit parking lot. And we were off…

THE THANG

Mosey to the front of the entrance and back. Circle up for….

1. 20 x SSH IC

2. 20 x Moroccan Night Clubs IC

MOLESKIN

Finished. 3.75mi + a smattering of exercises = usually drinking a beer with lunch. But not today, no thanks due to Mad Dog and Dryuary. Hopefully I will be stronger for it? Or possibly at least rid my waistline of this Covid-15 that I have put on during this time.

It was great to meet Manziel and I think he will be introducing our friends up north about Mike Tyson. I think I learned them in GA but it’s an ass kicker. It was great that he dragged his buddy out to join us this AM.

FNG now named Meat Smoker was hanging with us all day. Your first post is usually the worst but I can see him coming back. He’s already verbally committed to Flash on Monday so only time will tell.

My boy Carson was in his traditional Fusebox approved all grey sweatsuit. He may have lost a step due to hiatus but he’s back and damn it I missed him. One of the funnier guys I know and I can’t wait to drink a frosty IPA at the end of this current challenge.

Happy Saturday fellas and see you on Monday!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• 3rd F Tomorrow, see posts on GroupMe for more info

• Neighborhood walk group tomorrow!

• 3 sites on Monday, pick one now!

• See an oppty to lead? Throw your idea out to me, Posse, whoever to see if we could get people to support it. We have two new sites coming online in the next week or 2. If you see a day that has 12+ people posting every week, we might be safe to expand to a new area or to add a specific type of site. This idea applies to 2nd and 3rd F events as well….get creative!

Power Hour Pre-Party Shenanigans…

And for my 58th Q I would recycle a previous Ignition Q because I hated it then and everyone would be sure to dislike it a 2nd time. Yet again I forgot I Q but that’s ok, that’s why I type all my Qs into my phone. Should I change anything? Nah. It’s fine.

Slept like a baby. Back is a little tight this AM. Several of the Lords of the The Crest in attendance for what should be a exercise heavy beat down. Let’s get it!

Long mosey back to COT. Time to spare so we did more Ab Webb while Flash joined in at the end. And that’s time…

MOLESKIN

Great morning everyone! My went as planned and based on the low chatter it was a success! Either that or they were whispering about my terrible plan. I felt good about it regardless.

I had planned for more of those damn runners to be there but supposedly due to children and/or work they had post elsewhere. (Insert GIF of Doctor Evil saying “Right…”

Great push my all the pax today! I always enjoy leading these workouts and hope those thighs will feel itchy with soreness by tomorrow morning. You are welcome.

Thank you Goodfella for taking us out!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

My birthday Q is tomorrow! I turn 40 and I hate it. Join me.

Smuggler has a VQ tomorrow, good luck brotha!

Continued holiday hours, 1 (one) hour earlier start times for all weekday AM workouts. PM and Saturdays are the usual times.

Who do I see about workplace harassment?

And for my 57th Q, I would be filled with rage just thinking about that smelly turd we all call Posse. I haven’t been so annoyed at another man since I was a rebelling teenager and my dad was a protoclogist of my every move as I challenged every boundary that existed. NOT TODAY PAPA POSSE!

47 degrees this AM and we wouldn’t need gloves but we would need to keep it moving. An awesome number of respects per usual and I would look to keep as much IC/CC as I could to push everyone to their personal limits.

6ft DiCCS covered and I appreciate J-Woww speaking up to encourage social distancing as Site Q, it’s the little things. Well done. And we are off….

And we are done!

MOLESKIN

Great work by everyone this morning. It’s been a minute since i posted at Commitment. It holds a special place in my heart as it’s the first place I ever was broken mentally on my first post. The site has everything to bring the hurt, it was good to be back.

Ghosted. Man I couldn’t be more impressed that your first post was a freaking IPC where you were EH’d by someone that didn’t even show up. Hence the fitting nickname but great work continuing to show up and it’s great to see you still pushing.

Doughboy just shows up and puts in the work everyday. I’ve been a fan of his painfilled Qs since I started. He chooses stupid mashups of exercises that hurt and his attitude is anything that doesn’t involve running. I fully support that idea because I hate running too. Great job everyday bro.

Banjo, I want to pick on you because it’s been so long since you posted but I’m slowly getting back to “myself” after my month long sabbatical too. It’s great to have you back and keep coming. Also I need you to keep posting so you can get back to having enough oxygen in your lungs for your cutting sarcasm during a workout. Keep showing up brotha!

J-Wow always impressed by your drive and push every workout. Positive vibes and prayers up for your wife as you all work through her current medical concerns. Keep posting to shake that mental fog that comes with tough moments in life like this.

Chainsaw posts 4 days a week and as a double respect that’s absurdly impressive. I hope everyone is motivated by your drive to show up every week and keep the body moving. You are an inspiration for many.

Popeye and son, I always love when a 2.0 shows up excited, sprinting at the opening bell and only to quickly realize “maybe I don’t want to do this?” Haha. My boys do it almost every time but workouts with your kids are always an experience. While a lot of it is verbal encouragement to keep pushing, dads leading by example is going to have an impact regardless. Great work today!

Deepdish is another guy that keeps posting and improving. I don’t remember where he started his fitness journey with us but he was out front every run this morning. Great motivation to find a guy you are trailing and to work to pass them. And then when you pass them find another one to chase. We should all be looking to improve both mentally and physically each morning. Get through your mind telling you to stop and lean forward…

Centerfold had knee surgery a few months ago and hasn’t stopped posting. Fully utilizing MASH but also helping to build it up in a moment of his own need. Great motivation that even through injury/recovery we still offer something to everyone. No excuses to stop posting with the ultimate goal to get out to the bootcamps. It’s good to have you back and your signature “fly in with 5 seconds to start” is always a highlight. Haha.

It’s been a minute since I wrote an old fashioned BB where we would highlight each PAX. Today was my first 5 post week since Halloween and before that it was before my trip up north. Finally getting my fitness back to “normal” and it feels good. Rest up fellas and I will see you in the gloom next week!

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Lots of things happening today which have already started, kudos to all already there

• Rice and Beans is looking for volunteers to fill bags 2 days a week. Fully family friendly. Sign up on the site.

• Next Saturday, downtown Waxhaw clean up @ 8am. Followed by coffeeteria at Crossroads.

So we just can’t run…do I have that right?

I avoid Chiseled like a plague because my back just can’t take it. After this years IPC I was down for the count and spent way too much at chiropractor to officially decide, nope not doing that anymore.

While I enjoy the challenge and added creativity of equipment Ive been gun shy due to how its just debilitating. However, what if it wasn’t an IPC rushed challenge and I just rolled everything in CC or IC? Maybe…

But what would I do if we removed the rushed cardio bootcamp aspects of the workout and Q’d Diesel? We absolutely like to pick on the Site because the Site Qs are basically asking for it and we are sometimes dumbfounded by the lack of running. Why won’t my brain comprehend what to do without running??!? I hate running…

DiCCS given. Let’s roll…

MOLESKIN

The goal and mission was to bring a beatdown that hurt and also wouldn’t get me invited back. Make it just awkward enough humping the sky that I wouldn’t come to mind when trying to fill a Q. I did my best. All the things to heaven…

It was a beautiful morning and it was a pleasure to Q at this site lite up like a 80s rock concert. The purple lights are an interesting touch. My abs are donzo and those squat thrusters really get everything going. For a site with no running I was in pain throughout the workout. Those glute thrusters got my ass on fire. That was all my pleasure and I appreciate you following through.

Suck it Posse. That was my 56th Q. See you all in the AM.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

• Christ’s closet tomorrow

• Trail clearing tomorrow at 5 Stones

• Next week Downtown Waxhaw street clean up, followed by Coffeeteria.

Posse – More Like Pu… Amirite?!

I forgot that the ever so sly, head site lead Schneider asked me to Q last week after COT. Nothing on the calendar for me to double check but his relentless Site Q Secretary Easy Button texted me at 9pm to say “you still on for tomorrow?” See how easy being a Site Q is?

Honestly both of these two guys are great contributing members to F3 Waxhaw. They both post constantly and have absolutely moved up in their fitness journey. Not sure if EB has EH’d anyone but he’s always got some good sarcasm and quiet jabs to throw in the AM. Schneider is from Crests of Briar and is the other half of the dynamic duo, of which Chicken Little is a member. These guys recruit a ton and Schneider brings a similar cheerful attitude to every workout.

So for my 55th Q, I thought I would focus on the positivity of posting at a well managed, fun site. I won’t focus on negativity in the human form, which is Posse. I don’t want to focus on his hate of my personal Q counting but the fact he’s in fact happy to count the 2, possibly 3 times, that I’ve had an opportunity to pass my Q to a peer because something has come up.

DiCCS given. Let’s roll…

MOLESKIN

Thanks to all those that joined me yesterday in the high 20s temp. It’s a bit of mental gymnastics in the AM when it’s that cold. I’m impressed with all the mashers that continue to post and shocked no one has gotten stuck to their cinderblocks. Great work fellas.

For those that haven’t caught on yet, my sarcasm runs pretty thick. That was until that god awful Posse crossed me and I’m left wanting to destroy every inch of his soul. We have a ton of mediocre guys here in Waxhaw, hell it’s our main recruiting criteria as of late, but this little guy is off the freaking charts.

I’m kidding. I’m not sure why I’m Posse’s target as of late but i got my big boy pants on. My ego should hold out about another week before I actually flatten his 4 car tires. I’m going to need more than yoga to reduce the stress of his harassment and bullying.

I’m tired. I will make sure to circle back for you as much as you need tomorrow Posse.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

It’s too late for yesterday’s news…

We Eat Pieces of _____ Like You For Breakfast!

The costume choice was simple for my 54th Q but I honestly didn’t love the options all that much. Focusing on the positive, #1 it wasnt a dress and #2 it wasn’t hot as a damn sauna inside. At 39 poop/fart jokes are still some of my favorites so dressing as literal doodoo was perfect.

Interestingly enough I’m not sleeping well this week in fear I will sleep through my alarm like that 1 time. But this week is too important to my being so…

Crappy DiCCS given. Bottlecap’s poo lipstick flavor quickly discussed. Let’s roll…

Mosey to graveyard. Big Gas Webb. 1 Big Boy Sit Up. 4 Gas Pumps. 2 Hand release Merkins. 5 rounds completed.

Mosey to Waxhaw Elementary. Break into groups of 3. Partner 1 stays on one end. Partner 2 goes to other end of lot. Partner 3 is the timer and will jail break to one side of the lot to swap spot with other partner. When not running the other partners are completing the exercises. Rinse and repeat until each person has run twice. Exercises are Speedskaters, elbow plank and Squats. Audible because people are idiots.

10 minutes to get from Waxhaw Elementary. Let’s roll. What’s that rumbling noise? Is that a choo-choo yonder into the distance? What’s the protocol with no time left to get back to COT in time? My maternal instincts kicked and I knew I had to get my children back in time so told everyone to just keep running. I was right you know.

We arrived at 6:13.5am. Finished up another round of the Ab Webb. That was a wrap

MOLESKIN

I learned instructions are hard when having to count higher than 2. Good lord was that audible painful. Just when I thought we figured out it got worse. Live and learn a bit. And by that I mean, never do that again.

Interestingly enough Tic Tok approached me at the end to let me know we met once a year or so ago while at a work dinner in Charleston. Apparently I was chatting him up about F3 a bunch and he knows Glidah and Catfish. Hot damn, it worked!!

It was a great morning. I hurt all over. Taking off for 4 weeks was well worth it but getting back out there is brutal. I’m not looking forward to it happening again but undoubtedly will. If you haven’t posted in awhile tomorrow is an opportunity to refill your F3 soul a bit.

How do you even Name-O-Rama, bro?

Woke up ready to go at 430 but my stomach needed extra time to handle its business. Sprinted out of the door, drove through a red light (carefully) and arrived with 45 seconds to spare. The eye balls whenever I roll up in these costumes does not seem to bring joy to people. More people seem puzzled more than anything.

I’m a clown in the sense of trying to make those around me laugh. At least that’s my attempt when I’m in and out of costumes. (Insert being nude makes people laugh jokes). I had to google Dromedary and turns out it’s a one humped camel. Hmmmm…

3 Wise Men? Man i don’t know but it made sense in my head. I think it worked out just fine compared to all the boring workout attire everyone else was wearing. You aren’t focusing on being an idiot enough fellas…

Thanks to Johnny Utah for taking us out!

MOLESKIN:

Another gorgeous morning and I’m stuck inside a hot, hot costume. Maybe less dresses next year and more skirts? Ice9 was asking me about my level of comfort wearing a dress and I would rate it, on a scale of 1 to 10, as “grossly more confident”. It’s not the first time I’ve dressed like a lady and certainly won’t be last. I learned it from my dad and the legacy must live on…

I’m going to continue to focus on Ice9 since he runs out front like he’s late for something every workout. Sometimes into oncoming traffic regardless of safety but you can’t knock the guys hustle. When he shows up, he leaves it all out there and sometimes it’s last night chicken casserole that is left behind. Are you even “Ice9-ing” bro?

I believe he’s posted more in Waxhaw now than in the last 2 years I have been here. He loves working out with his dudes up north but I think he’s finally come around to our sarcasm/stupidity. Maybe that’s wishful thinking but more importantly…

What is happening with the way Ice9 does Name-o-Rama? Kurt Myers. Ice9. 49. Nope. Are we, Waxhaw, alone in the fact this makes zero logical sense? I am usually gasping for air by the time we are back to COT and I’m supposed to remember to say the nickname in-between and not his age? Nah son. This has got to stop. Pass it on.

Thanks for letting me lead again fellas. We are at the halfway mark and I’m so scared for my body for the next 3 posts. Kill me now.

Dressed like a Jack@ss!!

And for my 52nd Q, awwww who gives a sh!t anymore. Should people be proud of the number times they have Q’d, number of pounds they have lost or even the number of times they have posted? The answer is emphatically NOOOO!

Coming up with a costume based on the site name wasn’t very easy. Do I dress as a tall building, do I stand guard outside the tower with a rifle in my hand or do I just chalk this up as a loss and do nothing.

Like we are always saying, you are only as good as your last post. But then it got me thinking that you will never be as good as someone who is an actual Prince. And you can quote me on that. So it seemed only right that I dress as an actual buffoon. And boy did I…

DiCCS given and we are off!! Another small soapbox moment encouraging proper form and interestingly enough it’s in one ear and out the other for most PAX.

Take note, both guys in the front and the back, your form sucks on squats, burpees and Merkins. Please look to get that ass down, full jump w/ clap overhead and getting that back straight with the core engaged on each of the previously mentioned exercises.

THE THANG

Mosey down along street and circle up at flag pole for:

Let’s are crushed from the Webb’s so let’s mosey to the neighborhood.

Rinse and repeat. OYO. Every 2 driveways on the right, alternate between 10 x Monkey Humpers and 10 x Merkins. Stop at next street and Mosey back for the 6. Regroup at intersection.

Mosey to big lot for 4 corners. 2 laps. 2 corners do 5 x burpees and the 2 corners 20 x LBCs.

A few minutes left so we knocked out round 9 of the still unfinished Webb’s from yesterday. 15 seconds of have a nice day.

MOLESKIN

3mi and a smattering if exercises. As you guessed it, tomorrow we will complete round 10 of both those Webb’s, do you don’t want to miss that. What can be said about this mornings workout that wasn’t already said in the Playhouse.

My plan worked but was my heart into it? No. At no point did I feel one with my costume and damn that thing was hot. Honestly not having my accountability partner there was a big hit to the ego. Not only is he a site Q but periodically he body shames me to ensure I will be posting at a workout soon. What can I say about Easy Button that hasn’t already been said…

He’s a piece of crap. Not the first time I’ve said that but the first time I’ve typed it. I usually hand write it into my diary but this is a good step. Is this what Glidah means when he wants me to step out of my comfort zone? I’m FREED TO LEAD!!??!

Another day in the books and the soreness will continue to become even more unbearable. Only 4 Qs left…(insert Ice9 dry heaving sounds!!). See you all tomorrow.

Thank you Chastain for taking us out

Is the Flash ready for the big screen?

Holy moly I slept awful. You would think I would be better prepared for my 51st Q but it’s been a hot minute since I led. The excitement of Qing on a Monday morning mixed with the fear of oversleeping was just too much. However I got extra time on the bidet and almost nothing is better than that.

It was beautiful cool, crisp morning and I’m happy for that because whatever material this costume is made of is going to be hot.

It’s looking like a good crowd! DiCCS given. An FNG. A quick pep talk to focus on form. Let’s roll…

Mosey back towards, line up at the front of the middle in two lines. True Indian run back to COT with 2 minutes to spare. Completed round 8 of Webb’s. All done!

MOLESKIN

Decided to start the week with a gang of Webb’s. Decent distanced moseys in-between to keep the HR up and high rep exercises to burn out specific parts of the body was just perfect. Also a bit cruel but after my 4 weeks off I need a crash course in kicking my own ass.

Thanks to everyone for joining me this AM and thanks for pushing through. Apologies on my inability to count and/or give proper instructions. 5 days left to go this week.

PreBlasty-Blast: IPC Relay Edition – Week 2

We made a joke about playing with ourselves last week in this IPC Relay for 2 reasons: #1 its funny #2 we were hoping other regions would participate. Looking back it’s not funny anymore because it’s true. Are we offending other regions? Do they only like actually playing with themselves or do they like a challenge? Join us, won’t you….

In Week 2 hopefully we find out which region is willing to take us on and may the better smelling men win! This week should be pretty simple to turn into a “relay”. The only semi-challenge is to ensure each pax goes around the cones and which ever pax is next waits until that person breaks the (imaginary) line at the center spoke before beginning.

Looking at our cheatsheet you can see it’s best to split it into 14 x “exercises” per round. You can use as many or as little pax as you want but the more you have, the potential, merrier it will be. We are separating the Thrusters between rounds to an individual pax. As for the other exercises, whoever’s turn it is will do the exercise as well as the out and back rifle carry.

Hopefully this all makes sense but ping us with questions.
