1st Annual Turkey Bowl – 11/22 Pre-Blast

Men of Lexington, I am pleased to announce the 1st Annual F3 Lexington Turkey Bowl. Before you get those turkeys in the fryer or that casserole in the oven, come out to Shillito Park (aka Gridlock) and join us as we toss the pigskin around. We’ll be playing a game of “Ultimate Football” kind of like Ultimate Frisbee but with a football…and a little F3 fitness added.

All men in Lexington are invited. It’s a great way to start off your turkey day burning off all those calories you’re gonna eat later in the day!

Time: 7:00 am

Place: Shillito Park – Football Fields

9/22 Pre-Blast – Yanni Q

Men, come out tomorrow for a Fall Beatdown! I’ll be leading the Q on 9/22 (1st day of fall!) at 0700 at Shilito Park (AKA Gridlock). We will be meeting by the tennis courts, look for the American Flag! Let’s bring some new people in and show them what F3 is all about!

Join us at 0630 for a pre-workout ruck around the Gridlock.

Men!! It is a great day to be f3!  I am pumped to Q this weekend.  We will work hard, embrace suffering and become the type of men that are world changers.  Spread the work, bring a friend and be ready to encourage each other.  It will be the best 7am of your week.  Make sure that you start your hydration now as the heat and humidity can be a bear.  Let’s do work.  HanzandFranz

 

6/9 preblast #F3LexVegas KiloQ

D0AE029C-2B7C-468F-A300-32C94C90EA19LexVegas are you ready for a Party?  YHC has been looking forward to this Q for what seems longer than the Gillespie Era. Also this is my 3rd Q in 4 days in celebration of my birthday week.  So basically I have a lot of pain in my party bag to deliver.  So in the words of Mark Stoops,  Let’s get to work!

Bluegrass Beatdown coming soon!!!

Gentlemen,

I am getting super excited about coming back to Lexington and making an appearance at the new region. F3 has been a huge part of my life for a year now down in the GrandStrand region (Myrtle Beach) and I knew this would be great for Lexington and it would gain a huge following. As soon as I found out this was happening I knew I wanted to make the trip and be apart of the launch. A huge thank you goes out to Captain Insane-O and Zartan for working with me and getting me a spot on the Q sheet!!!

My plan for us next Saturday is simple, Snot Woggler! The last Region that GrandStrand participated in the launch of was Manning, SC and we drew week four which is the Snot Woggler week usually. The goal for the snot Woggler is simple, show the PAX what F3 has done for other men on the fitness side and demonstrate how how much you are truly capable of if you just push through. It will be fast, furious and brutal, if it isn’t you will receive a full refund at the end of the BOM! My goal as Q will be to provide each PAX with a full body workout hitting each muscle group in the lower and upper body while mixing  in a healthy dose of cardiovascular exercise as well. The workout will be preformed in true HIIT fashion mixing strength and endurance in a rotating fashion to maintain an elevated heart rate throughout the entire 1 hour bootcamp. Both of the routines we will be doing are ones that I have recently came up with, I am sure someone has done them before but I just wasn’t aware of it. So, hopefully this will be something new and outside of the norm for everyone. If you want to try and get an idea of what to expect check out www.f3grandstrand.com and read through some of my old BBs. It’s gonna be SUPER!!

F3 Lexington- Pre-Blast – 05/26/18

Tolly Ho! This Saturday Gepetto and Backdraft are returning to where we spent many years of drunken debauchery and probably not much working out. A lot of our time was spent at the U Club or CCI’s which now that I think about it, most have never heard of either of those places unless your old like us. Our brother from another mother, Meatball, won’t be able to make it due to injury but don’t worry we will handle the Q duties. As a matter of fact, we like you Lexington guys so much that we are bringing gifts. So get ready for a good ol’ fashion snot woggler from a couple of LexVegas vets. There will be some running and definitely some lifting so bring gloves, you’ll need them. SYITG

F3 FLEXington – 5/19/18 Pre-Blast

Men of Lexington:

Tomorrow, Nugget and I will have the privilege of visiting your fine city to deliver a beatdown of epic proportions.  And when I say beatdown, I mean a beatdown not seen in Lexington since Lamar Jackson went and…..well, I digress.  In other words, we can’t wait to share more of what F3 has given to us.  So please put the bourbon away a little early, stay hydrated, get some sleep, and get ready for tomorrow.  See you in the Gloom!

20 SSH IC (Side Straddle Hops and in cadence)

20 Imperial Walkers IC

20 Copperhead Squats IC

15 Merkins 2 Count

Spent some time during this explaining the first 2 Core Principles.

Moseyed to the tennis cours for Thang 1.  By the way there are 8 connected tennis courts at this AO.  The possibilities are endless.

FB16A579-5D9F-4527-91E8-25A07EEC1B65.jpeg

Started off with some DORA 123.  Partner 1 started with merkins while P2 ran to the end of court 4, performed to burpees and ran back.  switched and used cumulative counting to 100 merkins, 200 squats and 300 LBCs.  Once complete PAX joined groups still working and helped them knock out the remaining LBCs.

While recovering discussed the next 2 Core Principles.

Next exercise was a group lunge walk for 2 tennis courts, Gypsy taught me yet another reason to clap, followed by 2 court bear crawl.  Run back to start.

Left the tennis courts and circled up for a Circle Burp.  PAX does high knees and we go around the circle stating our name followed by one burpee.  26 burpees in all.  Woof.

Moseyed around the park past the play ground to the perimeter running trail.   Partnered up for some Plank and Dip work.  P1 did 15 dips while P2 did elbow planks.  Rinse and repeat 2X.

Short mosey back to pool lot where we did SSH while we waited for the 6.

Circled up for some Mary.

20 Gas Pumps IC

20 American Hammer IC

20 Dolly IC

Phiffer Kicks on my count

20 Rosalita IC (en español)

20 Dying Cockroaches (OJ)

15 Big Boy Sit Ups OYO (on your own)

 

Count-o-roma, Name-o-roma.  With 15 FNGs this took a little longer than usual.  It was great to get to know these guys a little more and give them their F3 names.  Lots of laughs and smiles.

Explained what the Circle of Trust was and that it was the 5th Core Principle.  Arm in arm YHC closed with words of appreciation for the men who came out to get better today.   Could not be happier with the turn out today and can’t wait to come back next week and see some familiar faces.  You guys crushed it today and definitely earned some smoked meat and beer.

In closing, Gypsy (NC) is a stud.  Came in from Carolina, brought gloves for FNGs and taught me how to clap my way through my lunge walks.  Oh, and did I mention when he was asked for a 10 count to allow the PAX to catch their breath he dropped and counted out 10 Merkins.  Stud.  TClaps

F3 Lexington Launch – Pre-Pre Blast

On May 12, 2018, F3 comes to Lexington.

What is F3?  Check out our Homepage for the answers to all of your questions.

Why should I come to F3?  Check out this Post from a member of F3Louisville.  It will give you a sense of what F3 is like.

Where will it be?  We’ve chosen Shillito Park as the first spot.  Here’s a LINK to the meet up spot.

How will I know if I’m there?  All F3 workouts are marked with a shovel flag.  It’s just what it says:  a painted (sometimes fancily) shovel with an American Flag on top.  It’s where the workout starts and where it ends.

Should I come alone?  Hell no!  Bring a friend or eight.  Didn’t you read the Homepage?  The Second F stands for Fellowship, and it’s the glue that makes F3 work.

See you in the gloom (SYITG) on May 12.
