Moelskin:
The Pre workout KB Beatdown is worth mentioning this (end every) week. The beatdown consisted 3 rounds through the 5 stations. Between each round was an impromptu core session lead by each of the 3 attendees in turn. For those who have not attended an Outland style Kettle Bell Beatdown (KBB) I highly recommend it. It’s always a good time and sometimes accompanied by some bad music to make you work harder.
– Two arm KB swing
– Single arm KB swing
– Snatches
– Mike Tyson K/O punches with dumbbells
– -Jump Rope (cause you gotta have cardio)
Zip-A-Dee spotted some tires from a distance that we almost made good use of today. On the mosey over to the tires we were shouting out ideas for how we could use these big rubber doughnuts. The usual ideas came to mind… tire flips, tire burpees. overhead carries etc. As we got a little closer we found ourselves staring straight into the face of some real pain. several of the tires weighed a couple hundred pounds. In the name of self preservation the PAX turned around and high tailed it on to the next pain station.
Tony Hawk reared his ugly head for the second time at Outland. This combo merkin/core/agility exercise provoked lotsa chatter.
Congrats to Horse Head who skipped out on Outland so he could bring the F3 pain train to his home town of Florence (no, not Itlay, although that IS where he got his nickname… Italy… The Godfather… Horse Head. Get it?) in his own words “Launch was good times. We had over 30 show up, with 19 from Florence. 15 were FNGs…”
19 FNGs is a GREAT turnout. http://f3nation.com/2014/05/31/florence-sc-is-off-and-running/
Also, Kudos to Hair Band who was absent this week so that he could run a local 5k in support of a family in need. HB, feel free to share the details if you want.
NEWS: Outland will be closed on June 14th in support of the F3 Area 51 CSAUP Olympics. All PAX are highly encouraged to go and participate. Should be lotsa fun. http://f3nation.com/2014/05/30/f3-area-51-csaup-olympics-preblast/
that is all… – CT
The Thang!
The burning question in everyone’s mind that had nothing better to think about: What is the Tetrad Smokefest? Well it has nothing to do with the four blood red moons in the news lately, Tetrad really just means 4 so…
This is a 4 station workout, with add ons each round.
1 round = 4 stations.
On the first round, do exercise number 1 on the card and then rotate to next station where you will do exercise 1 on that card, etc.

Moleskin: Horse Head and Double E ran 5 miles prior to the main event with Boone Dock leading a 2 wheeled escort. Apparently his top speed was attracting the attention of the local authorities. “film at 11” As you can see in the above breakout, Hair Band’s Tetrad Beatdown was quite the crowd pleaser. We should have known we were in for a an epic beatdown when the warm-up COP lasted a total of 30 seconds. Never a good sign when the Q thinks you need to save your strength for the next event. #WewereSmokedx4
Kotters to Electric Slide and Hardwood who were back it this weekend and to Drop Thrill coming back to Outland for another round of pain.
Posted on behalf of Double E…
6 Eager and Determined PAX arrived at F3 – The Outland University – to welcome the final Saturday Beatdown that April has to offer! Little did we know that not only would we all be getting an education on the fine arts of physical punishment, we would also get an education from Dr. CT Einstein on the … ummm…. proper formulas to determine the precise count while performing said exercises. Using only a F#3 pencil, Make your marks Heavy and Dark Gents, Let’s begin!

Moleskin:
Great work by all today including Outland FNG Drop Thrill. Welcome!
Tclaps to HH for running a personal best time / mile for the 4.2 mile Pre-Run! Keep it up brother! Much chatter when HH and CT raced the 90 yard sprint! Well done!
And Especially to Dr. CT Einstein for developing a new scientific formulary method utilizing the scientific method to produce the greatest piece of retroductive reasoning ever performed by a Q at an F3 event! You are The Man!
Announcements:
– Continued Prayers for Coy – www.careforcoy.org – 5 year old boy that just had surgery to remove a cancerous Brain Tumor in Pittsburgh. Unforgettable experience working alongside F3 men and strangers to build a 6’ privacy fence – approx. 500ft. – for this family in a single day. Continue to pray for a speedy recovery until Little Coy and his family can finally come home.
Thank you for allowing me to Q such an excellent group of Men!

COT
Moleskin: A little confusion in the directions handed out by YHC during the hill work resulted in half the PAX doing scissor crunches until their partner returned from burpees. Double E and a few others did the extra work on this and the result = solid core work workout on top of the O2 deprivation caused by burpees and hill sprints. During the bear crawls up the ramp DK not only lead the way for these (of course) but he also started back down the stairs, bear style, before the rest of the PAX could reach the top. Once you get DK on all fours it’s hard to slow him down. Z’s Wild Ride and 4 point beatdown is Zip-A-Dee’s very own home grown recipe for inflicting pain and always a crowd pleaser. This Sat was no different as was proven as the mumble chatter went silent after about the second round and the only noise to be heard was shuffling of feat moving station to station and groaning.
I feel like I left a couple of things out from the second half so speak up if you remember anything I should have noted.
9 men arrived in Outland’s gloom for this a.m.’s painfest. The Late Show brought his personal brand of pain to the fields of Outland for a memorable beatdown.

Moleskin: “Kotters” to Vila, Dream and Stealth and welcome to Glass Joe. Keep gettin at it gents. Glass Joe so named due to the fortunate/unfortunate similarity of his real name “Micah Tyson” to his eponym Mike Tyson. Consider yourself lucky GJ. We almost landed on Robin but you’re not quite lovely enough to bring the image of Robin Givens to life.
Weinke in hand, The Late Show was on time, on point, on the money this a.m. Q’ing the second half of the workout. Great job!
An extra helping of Mary today should provide a painful reminder that your core is involved in every move you make over the next couple days… enjoy.

Switcheroo your partner. Replace burners with inchworm and just hit the 10 and 20 yard marker while your partner tries to breathe and coordinate some kind of ab work with the rock. I think we ended up doing static hip bridge with rock press and mixed in a little pullover action.
Catch your breath and set your pet rock free.
Late Show on Q so we Indian Run to Elementary School
Stop 1/2 way for 30 sec mtn climber, 30 sec right side plank, 30 sec left side plank.

(2) pullups, (9) jump ups
…up to (10) pullups down to (1) jumpup.

Sprint to 1st, then (12) Carolina dry docks.
Karaoke back to 2nd, then (12) crow pushups – regular merkin but as you go down you bring your knee around to your elbow, as you go back up, take your foot back. Alternate sides 6 x for a total of (12).
Sprint back to 1st then (12) merkins (not the “American” as YHC was graciously reminded by the PAX).
Karaoke back to 2nd (facing opposite direction) and do (12) Madagascar macaroons or something. Start in plank, down on your elbows and back up = 1 rep.
Take a quick breather
Rinse and repeat, but instead of karaokes, squat down and side shuffle, and drop the reps down to (10)
6 MOM – duck, duck, goose style. Circle up at station 1 and on your six. 1st man calls out some ab work and sprints to station 2 and back while the PAX grunts it out.
good times with Dollys, Flutter Kicks, Freddy Mercury’s, Back Scratchers, V-tucks, LBC’s, Protractor @10 degrees above horizontal (Thank you Swiss!).
Mosey back to the shovel flag and burpees on your own till the PAX is assembled.
Moleskin:
8 brave men arrived at Outland with determination in their eyes. Believe it or not, YHC aka The Late Show was one of the first to arrive, though true to name, the last to be ready to roll. It does, indeed, take time to load up the cargo pockets.
After the warmup appetizer, the main pain course was quickly served up. Fried chicken legs (btw nice shorts Zip) and flapjacks were on the menu at Horse Head’s Hair Burner Cafe. O2 deprivation for the entire crew was evident, but the PAX powered through with determination.
The volume of mumble chatter picked up as we cruised to the elementary playground. But Dead Silence fell over the PAX as we stopped 1/2 way for the mtn climber & side plank break. Bodily harm to YHC’s wristwatch was suggested as the seconds ticked away and arms and abs felt the burn.
After serving up a playground sampler platter of crow, duck, and goose the PAX was full and ready to run it off as we moseyed back to the flag for announcements and prayer.
Reminder that next Saturday we host a little throw down for mud runners, and thanks CT for praying us up.
On behalf of myself and HH, thank you for the privilege to Q.
Respectfully (and actually on time) submitted,
The Late Show.
2 PAX posted for the Outland (Lite Edition) in the sub-freezing gloom. Good Fellowship and a memorable beatdown.

Moleskin: Hairband delivered a first rate beat down this week and all PAX stood strong through the pain. Chicken dance was back after fully recovering from dominating the Spartan Beast a couple week’s ago. We even considered renaming balls-to-the wall this week in honor of Chicken Dances “unique” form, which looked more like a turkey ready to be stuffed.
Kudos to Horse Head who apparently pushed himself to the point of spilling Merlot this week during burpees. “Chunky Burps” as he affectionately named them still count… Did we do burpees? This was passed on from Hair Band… YHC doesn’t remember the burpees, or the Merlot, probably too gassed to think straight at the time.
Announcement: Next week (November 30th) Outland will be converging with Area 51 for a post Turkey Day beatdown. Spread the word for all who weren’t at this week’s workout.
13 men arrived on the fields of Outland for a little fun i the sun er’ gloom.

Tiger Rag picks up the Q:
Field Work
Moey to corner of field for 6 MoM
Mosey to base of Disc Golf Course and Prison Break to Shovel Flag
COT
Moleskin: Great work by all this a.m. Special surprise guest this a.m. when Tiger Rag arrived on the scene. Instead of offering to comp his mileage and hotel bills, after the long trip down to Outland, we decided to immediately put him to work Q’ing the second half of the workout. Nuthin like showing up for a little fun and getting handed the reigns. “Lay on, Macduff, and damned be him who first cries ‘Hold! enough!’”
Double E and Legacy??? had the wheels on this week for sprints at the football field and again at the Prison Break headed for the shovel flag and everyone YHC could see to my left and right obliged TR when he called for extra credit squat jumps and squat jumps w/knee tucks during the field work. Way to represent. OUTLANDERS!!!
The strength of 13 men proved no match for the fearless sun dried tomato who was leading some sort of event at the HS track this a.m. as we were denied entrance even after begging pleading and smiling real pretty. So instead of the pain TR had in store for us at the grand stands, we all about faced and headed over to the practice field for some self brutalizing. Maybe we should thank her?
Continue to EH your local Indian Trail brothers as we go into the holidays. Hair Band is on the Roster next week for inaugural QIC. We are planning to converge Outland into another local Saturday workout on November 30th. Details will follow in an upcoming weekly email.
YHC may have mis-counted our numbers this a.m.. 12 was the number Tweeted but looking at the roster I think we had 13. Was it Legacy I missed? Shout out and be heard.
SPECIAL NOTE: Many of you have asked about the status of M Electric Slide “Lisa” over the past few weeks. We heard form ES this week and he reports that she is doing well “…all of her levels that are centered around the kidney and pancreas functions are outstanding”. Please continue to keep the family in your prayers. Also, for anyone who will be around next weekend and is interested in helping out, ES will be hosting a “working party” to get his house ready for Lisa to come home. Details below…
Hardwood’s church, Church of the Redeemer has a Mercy Team that is going to be coming to my house to help make some other repairs that have been discovered. It ranges from replacing some siding pieces that we destroyed by the termites, replacing some windows and repainting the house. I also believe that another group of guys are going to be rebuilding the steps that come off my side door to make it safe for Lisa. The day for this project is SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 23. It is going to be an all day affair, and we will be providing food and drink. We are trying to get as many guys together as we can to complete this project that day. There may also be a need for a few guys on FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 22 to do some prep work. Any help that we could get would be greatly appreciated!! Please feel free to share this with the group.
