Cobains for any PAX reading this if it comes across similar to other BackBlasts of the past, but unfortunately Police Officers continue to lose their lives way too often while doing what they were sworn in to do….preserve human life. A workout just like this one was brought to another AO when the NYPD lost …
6 HIM of BeechHouse Take on the 10-13 Workout Honoring Officer BarrRead More »
YHC was sitting at Kraft Draft a couple of weeks ago when some fellas from BeechHouse showed up for a few. One thing led to another, and I found myself on the Q sheet. The one thing Home Brew failed to mention when he signed me up…it’s Spring Freakin’ Break week and most of the …
After a week of brutality at Surge administered by our faithful Nantan and then by MacGruber only two days later, YHC felt inspired to keep the pain coming. With a little bit of this and a little bit of that and a sprinkle of March Madness, 6 HIM took to the gloom at Surge and …

Great times today at Beechwood! The good men of CAT graced us with their presence today and YHC was glad to see them! This is YHC’s last Q of the year and the goal was to end on a good note. The suck factor was high today on this one, going to need to bring …
Showed up at BeechHouse and a CAT Convergence Broke OutRead More »
It was supposed to rain today, so YHC came up with something for both dry and rainy conditions. It was more of a mist, so YHC combined both. The suck factor was high with the humidity. The burpees and bear crawl added to it too. Good to see the guys at BeechHouse. It’s been a …
Surge was home to another Saturday convergence. YHC was trying to come up with a Q that touched upon some F3 Classics with some F3 Fun. So YHC came up with a little bit of this and a little bit of that and of course brought his favorite Waterfall type Mary at the end. Heres …
15 PAX Converge in the Gloom for a Little Bit of This and a Little Bit of That at SurgeRead More »
It had been some time since YHC had Q’ed a Saturday convergence, but whispers of YHC’s 2.0 wanting to come was a key motivator. YHC had a plan in mind, but circumstances changed the plans just a little. However the HIMs of the Gloom improvised and it couldn’t have gone better. Conditions: STICKY and high …

This morning we celebrated 7 years of being a member of F3 Nation. It has been a great ride and I owe so much to it and my brothers. You have made me better. Weather was a nice chilly 35 degrees. We started with a prayer, then mosied over to the closest field and circled …
It had been some time since YHC had the pleasure of taking a Q at BeechHouse. Still being in the Christmas Spirit after the 12 Days of Surgemas beatdown last week courtesy of Surge’s own Dominion, YHC wanted to spread a little Holiday Cheer to the Pax of BeechHouse with a modified version of Dominion’s …
YHC was tired today and the 5am bell that rang for the BeechHouse Q was not so welcome. However, when the lights came on, it was time to put work in, ready or not. That’s the good thing about being the Q, you HAVE to be there. While YHC wasn’t ready, we gave it a …
Signing Up to Q Kept YHC Accountable at BeechHouseRead More »
If you don’t post on Saturdays you are missing a great time. Its the opportunity to see brothers you rarely see due to different home AO’s. You miss out on the rare Meatball and Notebook sightings as well as Forest showing up 10 min late even on a 6 AM start time. Saturdays are some …
This is a great AO, led by two of YHC’s mentors in this thing called F3, Field Goal and Muggy Tape. The AO has taken on their personality and it is awesome to see. You have to be creative with the Q here and the mumble chatter is normally on point, which always gives YHC …
YHC always enjoys going to BeechHouse because it is filled with some great men that represent F3 well. It also doesn’t hurt that it is only 2 miles down the road. Today was all about honoring the brave men that landed at Normandy, France on June 6, 1944 and those that fought and died through …

It was great to be back out here in the gloom with these men today. We were missing some regulars, but hope to see them next week. YHC looks forward to getting back out there with some other AOs as we start to converge again. Here’s how it went today: Prayer/Disclaimer Grab a block & …
What better way to celebrate being back in business than with a party? Ok, maybe there wasn’t cold beverages, or any of the other fun things one would associate with a party, but there was good music and a whole lot of betterment. Read on to see what went on: ***Conditions: Clear and 57 ***Disclaimer …
As YHC rolled into BeechHouse this AM the rain was pouring and a bolt of lightning lit the sky. Muggy Tape and I decided that stridelite was off the table. The rain cleared a few minutes before and the pax started rolling in. It was good to see some familiar faces that I hadn’t seen …
Weather was a nice cool 24 degrees this Saturday morning. 7 PAX came out to beat the fartsack and get better. COT then mosie around the parking lot.

Four years ago on 2/9, YHC realized just how out of shape he really was. Now, he worked out at the gym and ran a mile or so on treadmills, rode bikes, etc, but he was out of shape in more ways than one. Not only physically, but spiritually and emotionally as well. He had …

YHC was stoked to take my first trip to beechhouse and meet some of the new guys, looks like that still needs to happen because 2% of beech house boys showed up to party, but that was all we needed today and we didn’t let lack of attendance stop us from the throwing down! Huge …
This morning YHC made his 2nd trip over to Lexington’s newest AO, The Beech House. It was great to be back and see most of the same guys that were posted the last time YHC Q’d there. It’s obvious this group is meshing well, getting better and better, and are living up to the standard …
2 days shy of 6 years ago, YHC participated in his first F3 workout. As has been stated before, it was a memorable day. It was the first time I had heard the phrase “the workouts won’t get any easier, but you’ll get better”. This statement is one of the hallmarks of F3, and very …
Conditions: Cold 35 Degrees The Thang: It’s always a challenge to Q Beech House. These brothers really bring it and like a few surprises. Trying to get a little creative, but also keep the Pax warm on this very cold morning in the gloom. 13 Pax assembled to get better together. Disclaimer/Prayer Step in parking …
Earlier this week a change in Q’s was made at The Hollow to work around an illness. That prompted YHC to grab today’s Q. A weinke was selected that would keep the PAX out the weather. It ended up just drizzling ever so slightly – but the ground was super soggy. Working out under the …
9 hooligans departed the cozy confines of the fartsack this morning because they knew they needed it. The weather was great and the effort was even better. Those who missed were… well… missed. 1 for #Stridelite-ish. 2 for #Coffeeteria. Here’s how we got mo betta today. Conditions: 40-ish and clear Disclaimer and Prayer Slaughter Starter …
21 of F3 Lexington’s finest men dropped the DRP and posted in hopes of “(M)aking (S)aturdays (G)reat (A)gain”. Overall Saturday numbers have been inching down over time so YHC set out to change that trend by inviting these men to come together with the only goal being “FAILURE”. As noted by Puck, anyone can fail …
THE WEATHER: Wet and Cold THE THANG: YHC Scraped what he had planned and went with something that could be done under shelter where it was dry. Fortunately YHC had a F3 deck of cards. The number on the card x10 was the rep count. Face cards were worth 25. And an Ace was worth …
So after a short trip from the metropolis that is Batesburg-Leesville, we arrived at the Beech. I’ll admit I should have left a few mins earlier to properly scope out this new AO but I knew all I really needed were some lights, not so much as to see what we were doing but …
The buzz around the newest AO in Lexington is something special. Muggy Tape and Field Goal have done a fantastic job of EH’ing everyone possible to come check out the Beech House. From day 1 they posted strong numbers and it hasn’t let up at all, even with colder temps rolling in. These dudes show …

YHC took the Q today to see the goings on over at BeechHouse. Being a Shawshank PAX, YHC knows a tight knit group, and these guys have it already, not even two months into their existence. It is great to see this. F3 is a huge part of this community and to see its influence …
Conditions: 33 Degrees! The Thang: YHC’s was very excited to Q the newest AO – BeechHouse. Their numbers have been the largest in F3 Lexington… so YHC was inspired to deliver a beat down! Great to see a good crowd of 10 Pax show up in the frozen 33 degree gloom. The men powered through a tough …
