I love F3, and love to both push the PAX and be pushed. I sometimes have a tendency to call people out (if I do, it is because you’re cheating yourself). Sometimes I get called out (thanks Posse). Know it is always out of a desire to help you improve, which in turn helps everyone in F3 improve…
Anyway, back to the workout at hand. Given Chiseled is not your normal AO, and mileage is supposed to remain low, it’s always a challenge to develop a workout that makes the sweat pour down like rain. I teased 45 minutes of partner carries, thinking the turnout would be low, but to my surprise, the cars kept flowing in and we had a small mob on our hands. Already had to think if audibles and the DiCCS had not even been given yet…

It seemed a lot of guys figured they could ease into the week by attending a running workout led by a fat guy. But, if you know me, I like to ensure 2 things happen when I Q – 1) I do something that is unexpected, and 2) I do something that I hate. I theorized that everyone would expect me to play to my strength – shorter distance with more pain stations. Hence, I went the opposite direction and opting for high mileage with a few pain stations to keep us honest – giving us a record breaking 6 miles for Clydesdales like me, and a whopping 7 miles for some of the Gazelles!

Great push by everyone this morning! Thank you for allowing me to lead this morning. I love to joke and bust chops, but it is truly an honor to post along side you guys.

After a strange turn of events, I found myself on Q for the 3rd time this week. Unlike we normally see with Deadwood, this was purely coincidental, but I tried to bring something different to all 3. Asylum used some heavy gear, Watchtower was a burpee bonanza, so today’s focus was going to be on mileage – goal of at least 3…
As the PAX began filtering in, I kept waiting in anticipation for our 2 vest wearing site Qs. With 1 minute to spare, and neither of them in site, I was willing to settle for at least 1, but fartsacking took hold and we were all shocked that we were stood up by both on this fine morning… The dreams of the 10 faithful who did show crushed, we decided to sweat as a way to hide our tears.

22 men decided to post on what can only be described as a swampy morning. Thanks to last night’s rain, the humidity was up and some plans for wheelbarrow relay on the soccer field had to be altered. None the less, the show must go on, and so it did. Add some beliefs that I stole this Q from Zin, and we had all the makings for a wonderful morning.
DiCCS proclaimed, and we’re off….

I was called in from the bullpen yesterday afternoon due to a Zinfandel Gold Cup outing impacted his ability to effectively take the reins. Not wanting to dust off an old Q (not that I can effectively remember them anyway), I set up to have a lower mileage, but still difficult Q, incorporating some gear to make Transporter happy.

I had a nasty thought one day about how to make a Web combo even nastier than what I had previously experience. That combo, which you’ll see below, was the center point that this Q was built around.
Secondarily, knowing that Chiseled is supposed to be more gear focused and lower mileage, I was challenged to come up with a workout that would be both tough and short distance – exactly 0.0 miles. The PAX in attendance will have to tell you if I was successful, but it was a fun challenge either way, and as always, I feel honored to lead such an amazing group of men.

YHC was honored to lead 13 PAX on a foggy morning at Chiseled. Little did we know that today was a special day as Rudy was named new co-Q for the site. To celebrate, I ask a simple question – when is 1.87 miles too far? A – When it’s all done in a sprint…

The day started out with a little misery and mystery. Misery in the fact that our star Q Deadwood was down and out with the apparent flu. Mystery in that he did not announce who his substi-Q would be, leaving everyone wondering who was taking the reins to try to adequately replicate the beatdown expected to be delivered by Deadwood.
By now, the astute among you have likely determined that the mystery substi-Q was YHC. I am continuously honored to post with such great men who push each other and me each day. Despite the jabs and banter, know that I am in awe of this group. WUC is a special group of men and I’m proud to be part of it.
Enough of the sappy crap – here is how the morning progressed….

YHC had the honor to Q back to back with today being the 2nd 1/2 of that equation. Despite having what I thought was a solid plan to nuke the legs of each of the 22 PAX, I had to audible twice this morning – The 1st because we had too many PAX to use the sandbags I loaded into my truck and the 2nd when I completely screwed up the Beast (6 exercises, 6 reps each, 6 rounds)… So much for planning.
