11 Faithful descended upon #Battle for another installment of F3 Columbia’s toughest workout and found YHC and Wingback waiting for the delivery of another beatdown. This was a day of fairly simple instruction which is actually fairly common at #Battle. Give a few instructions, set the clock, and turn the pax loose seems to be …
10 men showed up on a damp January morning for some work that resulted in elevated heart rates, shortness of breath, and even a little fun, if you want to call it that. It was Chaser and YHC’s turn to dish out the punishment this week at #Battle and YHC hopes we didn’t disappoint. Conditions: …
Time to start the New Year off with a bang via a FNG friendly, good old fashion Convergence. 2016 is going to be great, and YHC wants to start if off with 100+ F3 Men. 2016 will be the year when we show all #SadClowns that with F3 every man can get better and be …
Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in its purest form like sap right from the tree. While many remained in the #Fartsack this morning, recovering from Christmas cheer or surviving an #AlpharettaTimewarp, 11 “good men” made the “questionable decision” to post with Cesspool and YHC …

12 pax arrived this morning for the latest version of Battle, with Adrian leading off and Hustler batting cleanup. The winter air has set it, so oxygen was tough to find. The workout started with a sprint up Falcon Drive, some burpees, some hills, more burpees, more hills … until Hustler finished off the pax …
6 men took the hard road this morning and reported to Columbia’s weekly CSAUP workout. Battle never fails to give you that, “you’ve got to be kidding me” feeling. But, the feeling of accomplishing that hour of work every week is incredible. Cesspool started us off 100 mph out the gate and laid the foundation …
13 warriors came out this morning to Battle and conquered their weekly Saturday morning beatdown. High intensity from start to finish. Cardio (i.e. a Chop Shop sprint to the mall with 9000 burpees mixed in) finished off by YHC’s pull-up, big boy dip, merkin, squat, big boy sit-up circuits at the Battle Loop. Excellent work. …
On October 4th the world as a lot of people of know it changed drastically as the sky’s opened up and the flood waters rose. What came over the next days and weeks amazed me. The way that neighbors, communities, and strangers all came together to help each other out in a great time of …

8 men threw off the #Fartsack to get after it at #Battle with Hustler and YHC. Many of the Battle regulars were Leaping this weekend. This may be the shortest BackBlast in Battle history, as we kept it simple, but hard. Conditions: mild and very humid The Thang: Disclaimer and brief COP by Pondo. SSH …
11 PAX posted for a Halloween version of #Battle. Splinter requested cinder blocks for his portion. He rolled up and still a little miffed from last nights close loss. This generally means not good things for the PAX and he held serve this morning as usual. Additionally, all in attendance were warned about stepping up …
9 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning not looking for the easy thing but seeking out the hard thing. Each Saturday at 7:00 AM at #Battle, the hard thing takes on a unique form. Each Saturday at 7:00 AM at #Battle, an opportunity like no other exists to be stretched mentally and physically. Each …

Greetings brothers. I am celebrating a year of involvement with F3. It’s been somewhat a whirlwind of a year full of endeavors, opportunities I never thought would be possible. But with faith and little encouragement, from my F3 brothers, friends and family I have succeeded in things I thought were far out of reach at my …

lots of burpees, sit-ups, merkins, running, etc. It’s what you expect at #hammer and this day was no different. The 11 men that were there pushed hard and was a great way to start football season in Cola. Fun times! Start at AC Flora – mosey to Zaxby’s Count 10 down to 1 alternating …

11 men arrived in the humid gloom at AC Flora this morning with quesy stomachs fearing what was to come. The last time YHC and Okra had the Q things got a bit out of hand with 300 burpees and a grueling Jacob’s Ladder on the now famous (uh, infamous) Rutland Court. Several pax told …
Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in its purest form like sap right from the tree. This week featured a couple of geriatrics, who regularly show up on the grounds of A.C. Flora, Cesspool and McLovin. With a couple of 40 year old dudes leading …
It’s a good thing these workouts are free, because you probably couldn’t market or sell this thang even if you tried. We normally do a good bit of intense running at Battle. Only reason we ran at all today was to change locations. Great work by the Pax today. The Thang: Splinter 10-1 Squat and …
Its time for the 2015 Hurricane Hike in Camden. This is a great opportunity for any Ruckers to get some distance under weight and also enjoy some good Food, music and other entertainment.

10 Men came to Battle for a ferocious #BeatDown from Chaser and YHC. We did some serious hill work and then a brutal Chelsea to finish off the hour of pain. Hawg, a former FNG at Battle brought his own FNG to the party. Welcome JoeLee. Conditions: high 70’s with low humidity, for a …
7 Pax posted today for an Adrian / Flamer combo at #Battle and got all they wanted. Flamer stepped up for the #TwitterlessRocket and filled in on the Q. Apparently, Rocket is making a final push to get his handicap down under 3 before Fall. It’s just hard to get it down when you only …
A few weeks ago I was at a Tuesday bootcamp when we began the workout with a run (heading to a destination that was good distance away). I was jogging beside one of my buddies when he stopped and decided to wait on a member of the pax who was lagging behind and struggling a …
11 faithful including one FNG (Hog) posted to AC Flora for another rousing rendition of #Battle. YHC announced Friday that the AO would see a rare solo-Q which probably led to at least a couple of questions amongst the pax. The law was laid down quickly that men show up to #Battle to do work …

17 faithful posted to the cooler than expected gloom at #Battle this morning. The #Gauntlet pax from Lexington decided the AO was the perfect option for concluding their weeklong series of pain. Honored to host 11 or 12 from across the river, we felt a three headed monstrous Q was in order. What happens when three misery seeking heads …
Pax – the time has come to step up to the challenge! This is a great opportunity to push yourself for either a 5k+ or 10k+ beatdown.

Gentlemen: We are right at a month away from our GRC. If you aren’t training yet I feel for you. You have to get under Ruck. There is no substitution for that, and there are several options available to you in the Columbia/Lake Murray region, as well as some in the Florence area (see U-Haul). …
The 2 year convergence of the Columbia launch did not disappoint. With 100 or so pax in attendance, Sway kicked off the day with a brief recap of how far we’ve come in a short time. In summary, now 20+ weekly outings that include over 500 men on a weekly basis…oh yea, that # doesn’t include …

A record smashing 21 pax posted for this Saturday’s edition of #Battle and thanks to a pre-blast they knew, sort of, what they were signing up for. Mud Run prep was the theme of the day and the consensus at the end was this simulation pretty much nailed the tempo of the actual event. Mud …
Tomorrow’s #Battle workout will take on a slightly different look. You need to be prepared to run. You need to be prepared for obstacles. Basically, you need to be prepared for an hour of the #UrbanMudRun. I’m posting details on the route we will use (covering close to 4 miles) below. You’ll partner up (or …

It is time, once again, for the downtown pax to add by division. Our beloved Brickpile has reached critical mass yet again, and our history makes it clear that when that happens a new AO is needed. So, F3 Columbia is finally planting a flag in the Old Woodlands / Hamptons area, and YHC, with …
