Foxhole closed out 2019 with a strong showing of 11 pax! Mumble chatter was average (and by “mumble chatter” I mean “bitching about the cold… or the work… or both”), but the leg work was aplenty. We also welcomed an FNG this morning. Mr. Lou Tepper (Lunch Lady’s father), joined us and stood his own …
Flu-like symptoms claimed our Super Special Guest Q Enos, so two Foxhole VIPs put their heads together for a Co-Q. ??? Last week this dynamic duo introduced the pax to “The Plory”, so this week…… “The Torn B”! Intimidating, right? Anyhow, 7 pax posted this morning in an …
So what do you get when you cross a Plan B with a Tory? More silence…. Deafening silence….. …
This morning was a big one at Foxhole. Big for several reasons really. Big because we hit double-digits for the first time in quite a while! Big because there was a lot to cram into a short, 45 min. boot camp. And big because this is (in the neighborhood of) YHC’s 6 year anniversary as …
Five uber studs… man beasts… Adonis-like… guys with fairly impressive Dad Bods made their way to Foxhole this morning for the best Wednesday workout any Thursday boot camp has ever seen! Today kicked off the first in a series of workouts that will focus on the many crowd-pleasing hits that the best AO in the …
Posting for Twitterless Perdue… The Thang: -510 monkey humpers. -100 yds bear crawl. -11’s up hill with merkins and iron crosses. -try to drive home. And you suck, Perdue!
Five pax took to The Foxhole this morning to help celebrate a special day for yours truly…. My Birthday. What started with the best of intentions ended up being an over-ambitious plan that had the pax bringing their A-game for the solid 45 minutes. I could just quietly take credit for the thorough beat down, …
Cheeky is in ( ! ) With the humidity feeling close to 100% this morning, 5 pax took to the track to burn off a few calories. Depends updated us on his daughter’s wedding weekend and told the boys to save some money if they have daughters. The mumble chatter was light as all pax …
Five contestants pax ventured to the squishy tundra of Foxhole this morning not knowing yet what was in store. To their surprise, the stage had been set. Tokens in place. All was prepared. The only thing left to do was man up and dive in. YHC got to Foxhole nice and early to grab some …
A day at the beach is one of the best things to cure many ills. But a gloomy morning on the beach just flat out makes you better. This morning, 8 studs from all over North and South Carolina gathered to sweat it out to the tune of 650 total reps and roughly 1.25 miles …
Four studs gathered at the hallowed grounds we know as Foxhole this morning to put our bodies to the test. The air was thick, the humidity was oppressive, the breeze was absent, the work was at hand, and the pax were ready! After a quick warm up, it was off to our home for the …
Six pax braved the torrential mist to join us at Foxhole this morning for the Changing of the Guard. So far no one has pulled a Steve Harvey and called to say “My bad, Boo”, so I guess I got the gig for real. But seriously, one of the coolest things about F3 is the …
Seven studs converged on Foxhole this morning. It was cold and very wet, but we got to enjoy some combine-like work in spite of it all. And yes, we got to spin the wheel! Here’s how it went down… CONDITIONS: 37 with rain (and a few flakes of snow) ending just before go time. THE …
The pax of the newly named #Fivehole (not really) really outdid themselves this morning. Eight pax came out to play, which is the most we’ve seen at the Foxhole since we gave it the new officially unofficial AO name #Fivehole. We enjoyed a little bit of everything this morning. We got a valuable life lesson …
5 pax and a crazy mother rucker (Magoo) made it out to Foxhole today. There were a lot of reps to be done and it was pretty chilly. But we came, we saw, we conquered. We managed to burn out our chest, shoulders, arms, legs, and abs. Plus, as an added bonus, everyone got to …
I need some help. I can’t remember the words to that song from that movie your mom used to watch every year around Christmas… How does it go? “The hillllllls are aliiiiive, with the sound of…” Depends talking incessantly? No, that’s not it. Spano cussing the extra burpees he earned for airmailing the backboard on …

Sorry for the delay! I’m sure all three of you that are reading this backblast have been waiting with bated breath since Tuesday. So rest easy, here she blows… Seven pax showed at Foxhole this morning. Apparently they didn’t check the Twitters last night to see that Plan B had the Q again (his third …

Three pax… Yep, that’s all. Just 3 (tres… trois…drei…trzy…) pax came out to Foxhole this morning. That is pitiful! We are not a new region. Not a new A/O. There wasn’t a big convergence going on. Just not very many pax interested in working hard. If you are reading this and your name is not …
This morning our beloved Foxhole greeted 5 pax with humid, hazy, post-thunderstorm gloominess that cannot be matched. On the eve of our region’s 5th birthday, and multiple AOs offering anniversary Q’s, our numbers were understandably low. But in the true spirit of “I woke up at 4:30 am to do this to myself so i …

Eight pax opted for Foxhole this morning in spite of yesterday’s warning Tweet. Plus there were several other good Q options this morning across the region! Way to go Foxholers! So on the eve of the day when we celebrate the beauty and majesty of this great Nation, we celebrated the beauty and majesty of …
This morning saw 16 studs gather in Depot’s gloom for a Guest Q from an old friend. It’s always nice to get back to the AO that has sort of served as the “Big Bang” location for F3 in the area. It’s been the starting point for a lot of pax and has seen many …
Five Pax from MB, Louisville, Burlington, and Lake Murray regions gathered this morning for some fun and games in the park. Here’s how it all went down… -THE THANG- Disclaimer & Warm Up: Mosey to park SSH x 20 TTT x 10 Imperial Walker x 20 Windmill x 10 Burpee x 10 OYO More Warm …
Summer is officially here, which means it’s time to give in to the kiddos and let them come out to the gloom to get a taste of the F3 life. These family boot camps have long been one of the highlights of the summer for me and my mini-pax. It’s fun to run around and …
A dirty dozen came together at Strut this morning to enjoy the gloom and a guest Q from yours truly. I always enjoy summer because with the kiddos out of school, I’m better able to get around to some of the other AO’s in town. Strut has always been a favorite of mine because it …
The 8 studs of Foxhole this morning were welcomed with a Queenie handshake (standard issue at Foxhole) and very low humidity. Both treats if you ask my opinion. After shaking the rust off during our warm up, we headed down to the practice field with one goal in mind…. To GO HARD for the next …
Six pax gathered in the gloom for some laps and a few reps on a chilly Foxhole morning. Conditions: 52 & cool The Thang: Disclaimer SSH x 15 TTT x 10 Imperial Walker x 20 Windmill x 10 Squat x 15 Mosey to planters Now mosey to track The Runs: Run 800 (2 laps) 25 …
Don’t go believing everything Queenie may say on Twitter. There was no bus pulling this morning. However, 5 foxy fellows did put in some pretty good work in an “On The Fly” Q after being dumped by Brother Si last night. What else is there to do after an ugly text breakup, than to put …
This morning 22 of Lake Murray’s finest answered the call (literally) and made their way over to Foxhole to help celebrate Plan B’s 4th F3versary. I reached out to a bunch of my contacts on Twitter and sent quite a few texts in hopes of rallying the troops for a big day. When I saw …
Seven studs decided to laugh in the face of a little rain this morning! We were tough, we were badasses, we were real men….. We went and worked out in the covered area out of the rain. In the spirit of full disclosure, I decided to open my music playlist and let it shine in …
Today at Prevo we spent a few minutes thinking about God’s Plan Vs. our own Free Will… With the Texas church shootings fresh in our minds, it stands to reason that people have questions. We may not directly question God for these sorts of tragedies, but we certainly think about why such terrible things happen. …
Seven Foxhole regulars reported in the Halloween gloom this morning for a good beat down. Here’s how everything unfolded: Disclaimer & Warmup: SSH x 20 (IC) Imperial Walkers x 15 (IC) Through the tunnel x 10 (IC) Windmill x 10 (IC) BBSU x 15 (OYO) Merkin x 20 (OYO) Mosey to Planters: 20 Dips 15 …
Today was a good’n. It was like the Hell Spano unloaded on us last Thursday, but with a little variation to save us from the humiliation that comes with 600 merkins between partners. Good work. Conditions: 57 & cool The Thang: Warmup – The usual Indian run to planters & Partner up Partner 1, run …

I’m almost positive there’s a joke in there somewhere, but I’m just going to leave it alone. 8 stunners and 3 runners met at Foxhole this morning for the early edition. I signed up to Q last week with every intention of bringing an FNG I have been working on for a while. But in …

On the heels of a near triple-digit Tuesday for the boys of Lake Murray, Foxhole welcomed 8 pax for a good ol’ fashioned toughy this morning. In the spirit of trying to keep things fresh, we split into teams for some relay action. The effort level was high and the motors were pushing the redline …
If you puke in your mouth and swallow it, does it still count as a merlot???Read More »
Seven pax reported in the early, Dutch Fork gloom this morning to get better. Whether or not that happened is debatable. After some pax at Tuesday’s bootcamp mentioned enjoying the “basketball Q” from a year or so ago, I decided to bring it back. In spite of it being opening week for high school football, we …
Oh, that Confucius, he was a pretty fart smeller, I mean smart fella. He knew long ago that warm-ups are for weenies… Real men show-n-Go (Says the visiting Q who didn’t do his homework)! Leave it up to me to screw up a guest Q! I would have sworn Speed Trap started at 5:30 and The …
A couple of business items to cover before we dive into today’s workout. First things first, I’m not exactly sure what the official F3 lexicon is for the opposite of “gloom”, but there was not much gloomy about this morning. If you think you’ll ever find more pleasant bootcamp weather in August in South Carolina, …
