Winston Wakes You Up. Either that’s the new Channel 11 News Morning Show or the #Assaulters want to talk to Allen Joines about a new slogan for the city. It’s got to be annoying living by the railroad tracks when a train rolls through before 6...
Read moreDon’t understand the title of the backblast? Well neither do I! I am still confused about the conversation that I walked into this morning as we were starting COT. Offsides was quoting Tebow like he was Ghandi and Touch-Me-Not was making a...
Read moreStop me if you’ve heard this one. A bunch of old dudes (notice the fact that the youngest PAX among us were entering their 5th decade on this planet) were sweatin’ to the oldies in a high school parking lot. Irony? Warm-o-rama. SSH x 15...
Read moreA subtle deep sigh of relief came over the PAX when YHC pulled into the parking lot at Mayhem as Burlap’s passenger around 0526 or so. The deep sigh of relief turned to heavy breathing through the workout, and all regretted that YHC was...
Read moreBeatdown. PARKING GARAGE BLIMPS, with one exercise at each level Burpees x 5 OYO Lunges x 10 DC OYO Imperial Storm Troopers x 15 IC (I’m not kidding, the PAX requested that these be done in cadence. And much like a certain Ukranian phone call...

Read moreThis is what we did at both Flatline and TRQ. All exercises were either OYO or in cadence. Round 1 Dirkins Buster Douglass (like Mike Tyson, but without the merkin) Freddie Mercuries Round 2 Dips (partner assisted at Flatline) Lunge left leg Low...

Read moreIt was a glorious morning. Snow and ice still lightly dusting the lawn at Bailey Park as the finest #HIM of F3 Winston-Salem emerged from their fartsacks to join Blue Steel out in the gloom. 20 Pax officially posted to #UrbanAssault and got after...
Read moreOne day after celebrating my 54th trip around the sun, a Pax of 9 helped me have one more day to celebrate with my F3 family. Right at 7:00am we rolled out for a quick warm up lap around the track. As per usual, Spicolli arrived on Spicolli...
