After being thoroughly shocked by Mac’s wardrobe choice to celebrate Superhero Day Pt. 2 @ Crypt (thank goodness there were no wardrobe malfunctions), 8 Pax chose to get better sans running. While the game of dice didn’t take nearly as long as YHC had hoped, the Pax brought the pain with 2 solid rounds of …
Creating a weinke for Boneyard can be a challenge, removing some of the higher intensity exercises that everyone loves and running. However, that just leaves more time to really focus on specific areas and that extra time not spent running leaves extra time to again focus on those specific areas. And that is exactly what …

For all you know, this backblast contains completely accurate details from this AM’s Boneyard workout. Because the pax didn’t really count any reps and because the QIC kind of made stuff as we went along, YHC can only tell you definitively there were 7 pax, 3 of us wore rucks, there were 25# coupons, mumblechatter …

The evening before the gloom YHC got a DM on the Twittersphere that someone wanted to borrow YHCs sandbags for some other training. YHC initially thought about just using some bricks and blocks for the workout today, but since the sandbags were there why not go ahead and use them. So the pax were introduced …

6 PAX, including YHC’s 2.0, experienced four regional showdowns in a sweet 16 run to the championship. While it may have been a lot more clear to YHC at midnight, as the final touches were being put on the brackets, the PAX worked out the kinks and should expect another bracket beat-down before March Madness …
YHC eased his aching body out of the fartsack this morning thinking “What in the world was I thinking signing up to Q!!!”. The cold that seemed to disappear at the end of last week crept up quickly this morning, which didn’t help the aches at all from the events that occurred last week. Regardless, …

YHC woke up this morning multiple times due to his daughter being sick, so when it was finally time to remove himself from the fartsack both the mind and body were unwilling participants. Eventually YHC forced himself out and through on his new running shoes to go break them in, but oh wait he was …

Qs for todays workout included 4 pax who were FNGs 1 year ago today. Amazing changes have taken place for …
WEATHER: Balmy 66° It’s always great to be amongst the PAX, but today was a little more special as it marks YHC’s 1 year (+1 day) anniversary of being a part of F3 Nation; 3 months, to the day, from hip surgery; and first Q back since November – but more (much more) about that in …
March 1, 2015 marks the One Year Anniversary of The Big Bang in Lexington. It remains the largest Big Bang in F3 History as 103 pax posted on 3/1/14 to open up what we now know as Graveyard.

The goal of a Boneyard Q should always be: Make them wish they were running. While we got in some good cardio, this non-running AO once again left the 3 faithful wanting some sprints and transition moseys. Conditions: 32 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer Prayer Split off from Crypt COP at Helipad Kindly asked the pax …
So YHC woke up this morning wondering how many would actually venture out into the freezing temps. He then put a layer, then another layer, then another layer, and then one last layer to block the cold. Notice the 4x trend there, maybe just maybe that be a hint as to what would happen during …

Conditions: 33 degrees and raining that stopped halfway through The YHC realized when creating this workout that it would have been helpful to attend a couple of #boneyard workouts prior to taking on the Q. Since this was YHC’s first post at boneyard, my hope is the workout was fairly “boneyardish”- but regardless, the PAX got after …
Oh the joys of a weekend workout: the pax got to sleep in to the late hour of 5:30am, and before the workout was complete the sun was rising and the temperatures were all the way up to 36 degrees. What a great way to start Valentines day! With the famous Splinter leading the pax …
After remembering at the last moment that Boneyard starts at 05:15 instead of 05:30 and not wanting to be late to his maiden Q at Boneyard, YHC sprang out of bed like it was Christmas morning. Of course it only took a moment to realize that his legs still hadn’t recovered from this past weekends …
4 committed Pax rose to the challenge of another Boneyard Q by YHC. The unofficial Boneyard motto is 45 minutes and then recover which makes for a lot of opportunity to get better. The Pax got’er done and if they are anything like YHC had a little trouble steering their cars on the way home. …

For those not invited to the party at SnakePit, there was the option of Boneyard. 8 pax decided to take that option for various reasons. Okay, we were all invited, but due to time, travel, and other conflicts just couldn’t make to join the majority of our brothers. Doesn’t mean we couldn’t get in a …
3 pax rose from the fartsack to join YHC for a creative boneyard beatdown. YHC was asked earlier in the week if he could step up and Q the Boneyard on short notice, YHC is always working on new ideas for workouts so what better place to test it out than the Boneyard. Conditions: 43 …

6 Pax entered the Gloom this morning to take a walk on the wild side with YHC. WIth some of the Pax recoving from surgery/injury, YHC decided to set the tone early by jumping in with 8 count Body builders from the get go. No running in this workout, but plenty of pain. With weights …
YHC mentioned on the Twitter-sphere the night before that he had signed up to Q twice and both times he jumped in with Crypt due to no one coming for a Boneyard beat-down. So our trusty Nan-tan issued a challenge on the Twitter-sphere and the pax responded. Some even came out to run 3.5 miles …
5 pax out of the 25 total for the 2 AOs decided to follow YHC for a no running core beat down this morning at the Boneyard, a few maybe thinking they were eluding the suck by opting out of a No Help led Crypt. Wait a man named after a boring running contraption is …

‘Twas the night of the party when all through the place, Not a Pax or his family could stay in one place; Thumbs Up was dropping all the greatest hits with care, In hopes that some people might actually dance in there; After superlatives given & speeches done right, YHC figured he could kick back & call it a night; …

2014 was an amazing year for F3 in Lexington. We had the Big Bang on March 1 where 103 men posted to #getbetter that Saturday morning. Graveyard was born an instantly #problematic AO.

With Say What on the DL, it was time for YHC to step up and lead this fine group of men and keep Boneyard alive and well. If there’s a perception that Boneyard is only for the injured or for the guys that want an “easier” workout, it was YHC’s mission to end that myth. …

5 Pax who posted at Boneyard for a workout with minimal running. Due to the space at the AO, it is hard to get anywhere in a timely manner without a little running. This was a VQ of a sort for YHC when it comes to a core based workout so hopefully it met expectations. …
Despite the foggy start (not to mention the fog in the air), #Boneyard was back in action with 4 faithful PAX ready to getbetter. More shoulders and abs to keep the core strong (and give the arms a little break from Tuesday’s beatdown). Remember: CORE is not just for those on the DL, it’s 45 …
10 pax posted for Crypt in the early morning gloom for a last minute Q switcheroo made possible by Quarantine’s unfortunate encounter with a mad surgeon who somehow managed to install a baseball in his ankle while he was completely awake.

Last time YHC led a Gamecock-centric bootcamp, Texas A&M embarrassed us at Williams Brice so I decided against theming this workout. Didn’t even wear anything garnet. The big game was discussed among all the merkins and other fun stuff, no trash talk though. Goes to show that neither fan base is really confident that their …
6 faithful Pax de-fartsacked on this brisk Thanksgiving Day morning posting to the gloom of the Crypt/Boneyard convergence hoping to ease the guilt that will surely follow once the holiday feasting commences.

At 5:01am QIC’s eyes popped open and head popped off his pillow with an audible “OH CRAP!” ringing throughout the apartment scaring the life out of his M.

Well this morning was a convergence in Lexington and the pax only had two choices. Regular bootcamp at Graveyard with No Help at the Q, which guaranteed a mass of running, or Boneyard (the runless AO) with Treadmill at the lead. What’s that you say, a Treadmill without running? How’s that occur? Well, that’s just …
