13 men drove in and one man pushed himself a little harder with a vigorous run in. Well done Haze. Thorough disclaimer given to the group that included encouragement to push hard for 45 minutes, AKA, 4% of your day.

Spackler is responsible for the title. This was his response to Haze running in this morning.

Kotters to Champagne after 3 weeks away from F3. Glad to have him back.

Kotters to HIPAA. The man came down from the mountains.

Welcome to Marge, site FNG. Glad to have Bout Time join us, he might have been site FNG as well.

Spackler was crushing the repeats. Until he wasn’t. After the AYG he told the crew he was needing to get out some mumblechatter and would join the back of the group. When asked by the Q if he was getting tired, he responded, “I just crushed you on that AYG. Was waiting for you to catch up.”

Haze left the Q alone this week. He was relentless on Lorax last week. Probably because it involved counting and both are CPA’s.

The group mostly stayed together and appeared to work hard today. Way demonstrated solid form all morning. Clover and Brilleaux as well. Snuka cannot fully extend his legs for flutter kicks. Haze did not leave that one alone. At least we know why now. Puddin Pop may or may not have blown ass. Someone did during the Mary/Plank at the end. Silent but deadly.

T-claps to Brilleaux for the takeout prayer. Sign up to Q a workout at Anvil. See below for the SUG. Keep EH’ing men around you.

Been 2 weeks since my last post. Knew this one was gonna hurt, no matter what we did. Lots of stairs. Feeling it. Glad to get back out. Now off to the beach for a week. Should do wonders for my fitness.

Chelms left early a few times. Messi, at 13, wanted to run faster than the Q. Sorry buddy, didn’t have much more speed this morning. Solid work out there. Nice to have Bout Time join us. Good to meet Maurice and learn that he and Haze went to the same high school and graduated around the same time.

Guys all worked hard. It was a sweaty one. Was slightly concerned about spilling merlot until I got used to the smell. Pretty bad this morning.

Nice to have a smaller group. I know a few regulars are vacationing. Safe travels to them. Enjoy the time with family.

Really nice to have Crotch Rocket roll in at 0529. He was planning on another workout, but found his way to Centurion via wrong turn. Glad he joined us. He is the man behind F3 Expansion efforts. When you go to another city and join a workout, he had a big hand in that effort. 7 years of service in that role. T-claps, brother.

The Ranger PFT workout was a great idea from our Q, Lorax. Ranger is a 21 year old young man who started posting in the Spring to get ready for his own PT test. Last Friday was his last F3 workout for a while. Best wishes to him.

Solid work today men. Great way to start the day. Thanks to CR for the takeout prayer.

Did a 13.1 mile ruck Monday with Haze, IH, Geraldo, and Alf. Was hurting yesterday with some lingering soreness today. Long way to go with weight on your back. Needed to hit the upper body. Hence the rock work.

Lorax and Clover had dueling shirts on, UNC/Duke. They aggressively squared off prior to launch. It was weird, but I’ve been down here long enough to kind of understand it.

Told the fellas that Thin Mint gave me the plan today. Not true, but fairly certain they suspected that. Truth is, didn’t have a plan until halfway through the mosey. Busy last night and fell asleep before I had a chance to put something together.

That was a good bit of rock work. No complaining from the men and it looked to me like all reps were completed. Well done.

Hit most of the campus today and upper body heavy. Can thank the Monday ruck for getting swole today. It is pool season.

Brilleaux and Lorax battled for the lead mostly with Hammer and Snuka up there as well. Whole crew got after it. Kotters to Hannibal, at least at Anvil. Good to see you out there brother.

Pretty tired and beat up this morning with that ruck and not enough sleep. Feel so much better after working out and the fellowship with you guys. I needed that. Hope you all got your money’s worth. Always an honor and a pleasure to lead the fine men of Anvil.

Posted Centurion yesterday exactly 2 weeks since last post. That one hurt. So did this one. Nice to have time off but tough getting back after it.

Alf was absolutely crushing it this morning. He gave a few shameless plugs for WAMRAP. 45 minutes of redline. Can’t wait to try it.

This crew put in a solid 60 minutes of work. Thankful for the fellowship this morning. Great way to start a weekend.

Almost forgot, Runstopper had tights on. and a long sleeve shirt with a t-shirt over that, with a hoodie over that. Attire elicited commentary.

Title comes from text correspondence with Purell. He told me he would see me Saturday a few days ago, then said he was going to smartsack last night. Needed some rest. No doubt about that. I think he Q’s about every other time he posts. Anyway, cracked me up when he texted the following: “Can’t handle your kind of beatdown that’s for sure.” I don’t often laugh out loud, but I did when I read that.

Even though Alf was not present, he dictated part of COP. The Mountain Climbers and Peter Parkers were essential to stretch out the hammies from Anvil on Wednesday. Thanks for that.

Titan changed his plans to post Centurion after visiting Twitter. He EH’d me 6 years ago. Thankful for that and the chance to workout together. He was out front. After pre-run and doing squats while waiting for the workout to begin. Dude gets after it.

Chelms was true to his Twitter word. He posted after tweeting he was 100% HC. Strong work today, as usual. Haze poked at form once that YHC saw. Solid response in the moment.

Speaking of Haze, consistent chatter. He sniffed out the set at Tartarus, but was not quite right. Yes, YHC is aware that the Triple Nickel is overplayed. Simple and effective. Tack on a rep you get the 666, another form of the Beast. The Chinese favor this number and equate it to something like simple and easy. Perfect for the 666 set today. Oh, and no low plank jacks today.

Champagne posted even though he pulled something in his hip. Brilleaux was doing his best to keep pace with Titan. Snuka continues to amaze with his speed. Flutter form, not so much, however. Escargot getting faster and stronger with consistent posts. Brushback in the house and working hard. Uncle Phil rolled in at the start buzzer, maybe a little after. Thunder Road steadily getting work done. Cheddar posted Centurion for the first time in a while. Didn’t get a chance to talk to him today, unfortunately. Glad he joined us.

6 years of F3. Not sure how many posts. 134 Q’s. First post was 4/13/2013. Dora on Q. Byron’s Birthday Bash was the name of the workout. Kicked me in the teeth. Wasn’t sure I’d be back. Wasn’t much of a runner and the number of squats was excessive. Was sore for a week. Made it back, thankfully. Appreciate the friendship and support, men. T-claps to Hops for the takeout.

I’ve been to hundreds of F3 workouts. Seen and heard quite a bit over hundreds of hours working out with the PAX. Nothing quite like the explosive flatulence produced by Puddin Pop today. Fairly certain it knocked Champagne over out of his plank. Or maybe he just shot up out of surprise in attempt to avoid the aftermath. Either way, it was scary. Well done Puddin.

McGee, Orange Whip, Hammer leading the way on the repeats. That little hill after a few burpees, several times. Gets the job done. Had some racing going on during the sprints. Above in the mix with Sprockets and Pop Tart showing some fast twitch.

Solid work by all this morning. Rain stayed away and conditions were pretty darn nice for a workout. Appreciate the opportunity to lead the men of Hawks Nest. Awesome group of guys every week.

Have to bolt out of the workout and skip COT. Not ideal, but have to get my boy to the bus stop by 7:00. Tried to keep track of the PAX for the list, but my threshold is 15, apparently. Sorry if I missed you in the list above.

Utah asked YHC to take his HN Q today. And posted Fast Twitch instead.

Kept it simple today. Hills and some reps to get the heart rate up. 50 burpees done by a few of the pax. Several did zero burpees. Spackler has a golf tournament or something that precludes his doing of burpees. Others suffer ailments or simply don’t partake in burpees. Maybe Ickey’s Burpee-Free F3 movement is gaining momentum #modifyasnecessary

Solid crew at Hawk’s Nest. Some hard work was done. Fast Twitch guys were hitting the track so we were in close proximity for a good portion of the workout. Great to see Rachel back in the mix #kotters

YHC had to leave before COT to get kids to school as this AO is farther from home than most posts. T-claps to Puddin Pop for the takeout. T-claps to Purell for taking care of COT and name-a-rama.

Always enjoy and am thankful to lead an F3 workout. Good work today men.
