There is one thing to ultimately say here to sum it all up. WE GOT AN FNG AND HIS NAME AIN’T COOTER IT IS COOTIE! (Hey that rhymes) Okay, I’m collected, back to the task. YHC had some issues he cried about last week and couldn’t make it to post. WAH WAH TRIPLE WAH MY …
After the P200 and then Caboose’s leg destruction from Tuesday the pax were all in agreement that the legs needed some sympathy this morning. YHC even received a twitter warning the night before from a pax who won’t be publicly humiliated here. But YHC agreed with Urkle that the focus should move to our fantastic …
With one week to go before some dumb little fun run YHC knew there was a possibility of slim numbers, but they weren’t anymore slim than has been the trend lately. There must be something in the water. YHC would be willing to bet his butt that whatever it is came from Montgomery Avenue sewer …
8 Pax beat the fartsack for a not so well planned Babe Q. As YHC sat in vehicle at 10 till 5am all alone debating whether to go for a run or go back home when no one shows. It was first BC after dreaded time change and temps had dropped to 28 degrees so …
YHC was so excited about his return to Q at smokehouse that his brain beat the alarm clock out of bed. By 3AM the mind was ready to go destroy a block workout and get the body into shape. The body just wasn’t that into it. When the mind finally convinced the body to emerge from …
YHC may be a Westside PAX who took over a Westside AO for the Westside Takeover, but he is glad it was with the close brothers at Tomahawk. Little backstory to set the tone: Around October-November 2016 Julep put out the call for a Saturday Q for Tomahawk. Having one or two Q’s under his …
YHC has been struggling lately so it was nice to be on the Q sheet to make me get up and join the Smokehouse men. Great work as always guys. Disclaimer Prayer Mosey to planter and circle up LBAC x 10 IC (f&b) Over Head Clap x 10 IC TTT x 10 IC Windmills …

It hasn’t been too long since a Murph was run at Smokehouse, but YHC missed it, so with no occupying Q on the sheet a weinkie was set aside. Knowing there is never a bad time honor Murph it was set to go down again this Saturday in a wet gloom. The gloom was …
First, let me thank Parks and Rec for getting me out to the Smokehouse. YHC remembers all too well the that first beatdown where the struggle was real. In the first few minutes YHC thought “Cool, we’re doing some “jumping jacks” and “stretching.” Woohoo arm circles!! 45 minutes will fly by and these guys seem …
So YHC just got back from another trip to The Valley to assist in getting that AO from Saluda up and running, I had a low impact Q planned that day to “take it easy” on them as word was already on the street that big bad Ranger was coming to bring some serious pain …
Saluda has had very rough weather since its launch, but they continue to post and slowly grow. Today it was warmer, but wet, and got wetter during the workout. YHC continues to be impressed by the work done by our brothers to the west. Now they just need a name and to get on twitter!!! …
The YHC’s knew they could not fool anyone into believing that “Hub” was as actual PAX. Well, we did end up fooling Wino, but that isn’t hard to do. Wino told me this weekend that melting Jellybeans over your nipples will prevent chafing. You really need to check your sources dude. YHC’s did end up …

YHC was trying to think of something different and somehow noticed a box of 36 tennis balls in the store the other day and thought “hmm, that could be fun.” So, after looking at the box for a couple of weeks, it was time to bring them out. I suggest you all go get some; …
After a 2 week hiatus 7 pax post to see if Babe would be out of shape or just well rested. Wino says both. Smokehouse was honored to have Grease Trap join us. He has recently moved to B-L from Lexington. Conditions: Tropically 36 degrees and clear Disclaimer and Prayer Mosey to track for 1 …
For a while now, YHC has been thinking of a second version of the Smoker (our version of a periodic PT test). This morning seemed like as good a time as any to test it out and see if it may make it to the Q sheet again in 2018. We sometimes struggle with darkness …
During a convergence run around River Bluff High School, a friend of mine (Happy Trees) mentioned his desire to run The Reaper as we mosey’d up the hill where said workout occurs each Friday morning. Happy Trees had yet to run The Reaper because of its distance from his home AO (Smokehouse). Being Christmas and …

YHC knew that 51 SSH had to be beat so 52 was the next best option. Thanks to all smokehouse men that posted this morning. Most mornings are cold this time of year but this morning was very pleasant and YHC felt blessed to be able to post. To all the men that didnt post …
YHC has noticed a pattern developing over his last few Q’s. There are some pax choosing the fartsack over posting to YHC’s Q. YHC has been told this has nothing to do with the Q but things like runny noses and hurt feet are keeping pax in the sack. But this sounds a lot like …
YHC misses Al Gore! You know those guys out there that are natural leaders? Al is one of them. He was always at the front of the pack pushing us during workouts, and he was the first guy to VQ at The Smokehouse. It was a brutal one, so I dug through some of the …
Conditions: 36 Degrees and Drizzling It was the morning after the best F3 Smokehouse Christmas Party ever. The alarm went off at 5am and YHC was ummmm…..still……uh….groggy, but YHC beat the fartsack and the grogginess to go deliver a beatdown as promised the night before. There were HC’s from Urkel, Nub, Wilson, Matlock, Happy Trees, …
So after a couple months of consistent posting @ Smokehouse Polecat reached out and asked about to sign up for this Q thing. YHC gladly told him about it but by the time he was ready to commit Smokehouse was full for the year but the Q gods smiled on him and took Swayze and …
Tis’ the season for the hustle n’ bustle. Running around half the time feeling the sentimental draw of time spent with loved ones near and far. The other half spent scrambling for things to buy for those same folks you miss so dear…Sometimes you just got to slow things down, way down. I have heard …

Conditions: 38 and Nippy November 14, 2017 is a date that will live in infamy for F3 Smokehouse. It was the day of the much hyped Urkel/Khakis co birthday Q. This was huge, Khakis had to beat a year’s worth of fartsacks to be there. Many notables from all over F3 Nation were expected, especially …
It was great to have our brothers from the Hollow and Smokehouse join us for a little pigskin fun. Just so you know, a soaking wet football is difficult to kick. Regardless, the PAX did not complain and competed tirelessly. Conditions: Cool 39 degrees Disclaimer Prayer The Thang: At the stadium: Enter the stadium and …
November 15th is one of the greatest days of the year; it’s the day that both Urkel and Khakis celebrate their birthdays. YHC feels that way but I think everyone that actually showed up this morning is sick of hearing about it. I guess that’s a good thing for those 3 individuals that decided to …
YHC was very excited for this VQ and wanted to make it as memorable and enjoyable as possible. What better way than with a little music and some burpees. YHC started F3 last February and remembers the first workout very well, specifically how few burpees and merkins he could do (3-5) and how close he …

This AM rolled in with some cool crisp air. After 11 fartsacks were emptied, DRP’s were swallowed with a nice cup of CANTORE (Pole Cat probably brewed his on an open fire…so manly). Though YHC is probably the best counter in all of Smokehouse…pause for laughs……he wanted to simplify to solidify and printed out the …
YHC has ran the murph before but not at smokehouse with the new pullup bars. That being said the anticipation was high. A great group of anxious pax gathered to knock out a great workout. The pax started with a brief history on who ‘murph’ was and why we run the murph. It was an …
18 men did the harder thing and showed up for another Urkel Q. Too bad I couldn’t leave the speaker at home…after we destroyed our chest and arms to Thunderstruck by AC/DC there were requests for Taylor Swift. Wow, she’s really great! YHC decided to bring out the time hacks again and it seemed like …
YHC has been going to F3 for over a year and knew it was time to take the next step and Q. There are a lot of great men at smokehouse that really know how to put in the work. Many of the Pax were begging for a real beat down. So, instead I decided …
Task. Purpose. Mission. A task without purpose may be completed, and completed well, but honestly how much impact is felt without purpose. How spiritually full is a task? A mission requires that task to have a purpose, filled to the brim with impact. If your mission is given spirit, specifically the kind that asks one …

Congratulations goes to Smokehouse as not only a group of great men who work hard, but also the first AO to actually enjoy this workout. Makes YHC wonder what you guys mix in your Gatorade bottles? Series of 8 stations 10 feet apart. Run suicides from Station 0 to 8. Stop at each and perform …
One regular face had his first run at the Rooster this AM. Tongue n’ Groove (TnG fo’ short) usually posts at our local BC AO Smokehouse. He heard the crow of the Rooster, well actually the call of early P200 training (first relay…TCLAPS TnG) and was taken on his first date by Aunt Bee. Shankopotamus …
With the excitement of the new PAX continuing to come to Smokehouse, YHC wanted to deliver a close knit beatdown this morning so we could experience some memorable mumblechatter. Nothing like some good monkey humper strokes, err….I mean jokes, to keep them coming back for more. It was good to see Beta still getting the …
YHC got a quick response from a certain someone to jump on the open Q slot when it was made know the newly installed Pull-up/Dip station at Smokehouse was ready and operational, enter Rollo! He’s been looking forward to this day since the last Murph where he put a hurting on the pull-ups down at …
