Imagine this…
The Sun is just starting to come up, it’s rising on the clouds looking like the sky is on fire, yet its snowing and the air is brisk. It almost sounds like a dream. Except its not…it is exactly what happened this past weekend at WeFoCo’s Premier Saturday beatdown, Charlie Foxtrot.
YHC is glad to report that the Pax’s retinas were not burned out because they stared off into the sunrise for too long.
YHC is glad to report that the Pax’s arms, glutes, hams, core, and backs were burned out from performing exercises called by YHC.
Here is a recount of some of the ridiculous things that occurred, all of which are entirely factual:
The Mission of F3 is stated, perfectly and without flaw at exactly 0700:
F3’s Mission:
TO PLANT, GROW, AND SERVE SMALL WORKOUT GROUPS FOR MEN FOR THE INVIGORATION OF MALE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP.
***Know Your WHY
The 5 Core Principles of F3 were collectively called out, in perfect order, by the #WeFoCo HIM. Here they are if you are unaware:
F3’s 5 Core Principles:
- Always Free.
- Open To ALL Men.
- Held Outdoors, Rain or Shine, Heat or Cold.
- Led by Volunteers in Rotating fashion, with no certification needed.
- Always Ends in COT (Circle of Trust).

The THANG
The Goal – Make it to the covered awning with brick walls and brick half walls at the top of the bus parking lot….without running. What?!?
Here is how the Pax got there, cycling between the following travel methods:
Lunge Walk
Crab Walk
Bear Crawl
Reverse Lunge Walk
Side Lunge
Inchworm Merkin
***The Pax stopped about every 20yds to perform a singular exercise from this list, in cadence:
High Dolly
Low Dolly
Flutter Kick
American Hammer
Heels To Heaven
Shoulder Taps
LBCs
WWII Situps
Mutton Crunch
Rosalita
Peter Parker
Parker Peter
Pickle Pounders
Mtn Climbers
AT EXACTLY THE 29th MINUTE OF THE WORKOUT ON THE 29th DAY OF FEBRUARY, THE PAX PERFORMED EXACTLY 29 BURPEES. This turned out to be everyone’s favorite, a real crowd pleaser, specially since this seemed to be in the middle of the Pax’s Inchworm Merkin travel cycle.
Upon reaching the covered awning at the brick pylon and half walls at the top of the bus lot the Pax were treated to some leg warmers:
Squats in cadence
Monkey Humpers in cadence
Speed Skaters in cadence….but more OYO
Wall Sits with pax called 10 counts
Donkey Kicks OYO
Calf Raises in cadence
Plank Walk Ups and Hold on half walls in cadence
GOAL ACHIEVED!!!!
The Pax then returned to launch in a very similar fashion to that in which they arrived at the awning. Almost arriving home at launch the Pax alerted to YHC that a Gang Mosey’ing in our direction were approaching swiftly from the rear. YHC knew the only proper and courteous thing to do was to present the Gang with a proper F3 Solute; Monkey Humpers in Cadence and a “Good Morning!”
The Pax then returned to launch for some Modified #STEINL Mary!!
The Modified #STEINL:
30 Sec High Plank
30 Sec Chillcut Plank (Forearms)
10 Merkins in cadence
30 Sec High Plank
30 Sec Chillcut Plank
10 Merkins in cadence

Announcements/Prayer Requests
CONVERGENCE This Saturday March 7th at 0700. Jamison Park off of Meadowlark aka #Mayhem’s New Launch point. Whirly and Zima are on deck to Q. Bring gloves, as many FNGs as possible, and the best mumblechatter you can think of.
YHC is feeling pretty heavy when it comes to his injuries limiting. Seems like with every step forward there is a self inflicted step back. Sprinkle in a little stress and hardship and you have prime conditions for the #Queen to get wildly out of control. This is the current status, and YHC asked the Pax for help with tips and accountability.
Think about a fellow PAX you haven’t seen post in a little bit, if you have his contact, reach out and invite them to the Convergence.
Really looking forward to feeling strong again with you guys out in the gloom. #Cobains for the late backblast. Feels like YHC has no time for anything else besides work, eating, sleeping, and breathing sometimes. Looking forward to seeing you guys at the convergence. Thanks for the keys Harden, I like what you’re doing with the place, hope to be able to visit again soon!
