Today’s Saturday Q duty took me to White Knoll High School AKA “Snake Pit.” 3 men responded to the call to get better on a breezy, clear, 53 degree morning. After disclaimer and opening prayer we moseyed down the steps to the field. Warm up with SSH, TT Tunnel, Windmills, Imp Walkers, Hillbillys etc. …
Every other light pole, starting with 10 reps counting down, squats YHC felt bad this morning. Real bad. This Q was gonna end in some serious merlot or THC would feel better, and thankfully it was the latter. With the Gauntlet going on someone had to hold down the AO, and YHC was honored as …

Today’s Saturday Q took me a dark, foggy 57 degree place called Shawshank. Just like most of my Saturday Qs this would be my first time at this AO. Unlike the movie Shawshank Redemption the movie character was escaping the dreaded confines of Shawshank prison. These men wanted to get in to Shawshank, to get …
It was a good morning at The Shank. We worked hard, we encouraged, we celebrated the return of Man Bun, we ensured proper form, among other good F3 things. The workout was a You vs. You, non-stop block and burpee curcuit with bear crawls, lunges, and broad jumps thrown in for kicks and getbetterment. Here’s …
WEATHER: Cold and rainy. Stayed under the shelter. When the Pax showed up the Mutt Cutts van was parked under the shelter where we were going to workout. Harry and Loyd was not there and Jack was not impressed. We decided instead of going out into the rain we would simply work around the van. …
Great turnout from the men at Shawshank. I enjoyed listening to some of the P200 stories and have HC’d for next year.

This Q was not as nearly Risqué as the title makes it sound. It was supposed to snow in greater Lexington this morning and it was definitely raining when YHC rolled up to Shank. With this in mind, a modification was needed to keep the PAX dry and healthy. Why not just do a fun, …

YHC took the Q at Shawshank today in a continued effort to visit other AOs. The Shawshank guys always bring big numbers and put in hard work – both of which were accomplished today.

February 19th marked the 74th anniversary of the start of the battle of Iwo Jima. YHC’s grandfather was there to fight the battle with the 4th Marine Division. His role in the fighting went with him to the grave as he never said a word about his experiences there other than the fact he was there …
Weather Conditions: 42°and windy 17 PAX chose the betterment option this morning. YHC was pleasantly surprised to see the parking lot lit up with headlights early as 4 Pax posted for Stride Lite and 7 others came for the Rock. All in all it was a great morning, here is how it went: Disclaimer and …

First up, we welcomed FNG “Enlist” Soaker’s 18 year old son. He reports to Paris Island and the Marine Corps in March. We are proud of you Enlist. As this is Valentine’s Day, YHC thought it would be nice to allow the PAX to do some of their favorite exercises. Grab two blocks per Pax. …
If you would have told YHC 3 years ago today “in 3 years you will run 6 miles AFTER you Q a one hour workout” he would have thought you believed you were speaking to an Ironman athlete. With a ton of encouragement, inspiration, and brotherhood, this was possible today. YHC had never even ran …
WEATHER: A beautiful 50 degrees in February THE THANG: Circle up for SSH for 20 and TTT for 15. Due to laughter and the Q’s inability to get the count and cadence correct, YHC said screw it let’s get started. Move to each light pole by rotating between bear crawl, crab walk, lunges, and crawl bears. …
Weather Conditions: 45°and 65% humidity 14 PAX made a great showing this morning and YHC was hoping to deliver on a new workout plan. Instruction game was weak, but that did not stop the PAX from doing work. Here is how it went: Disclaimer and Prayer COP SSH x30 IC Imperial Walkers x 25 IC …
YHC turns 40 tomorrow, so why not spend your last morning of being 39 getting up at 4:30 and figuring out how to make a bunch of dudes complain for an hour? Well, to be fair, only a few of the 14 men complained today, but all of them were at least THINKING about some …

1/8/19 Shawshank WO Conditions: Dry 50s Much gratitude to the pax that posted this morning despite the CLEMSON WIN the night before. YHC was expecting a light crowd.

We had a good Saturday crowd at The Hollow with representation of multiple AOs – including Mulligan from F3 Sumter. He showed up ready to run, work-out, or whatever we had planned. Sounds like he’ll be a Saturday regular as he has moved here but is still working in Sumter. There were ~8 for SL, …

Earler in the week we noticed there was an open spot on the Q sheet for this Saturday, so YHC and Scotch decided it was a good opportunity to tag-team this merry band of misfits in hopes of delivering a decent beatdown. It seems the Christmas spirit was alive and well in Scotch last night …

With The Slammer being sometimes attendance prohibitive, a makeover was in order to motivate the Shank pax. Also, YHC agrees with Uncle Ron that the original version is too rep-heavy, leading to bad form. This version of The Slammer features new exercises, more pain stations, more lunges, less reps…but the bear crawl had to stay. …
YHC signs up on the Q sheet months in advance and had no idea that the 22nd was Turkey Day. It was a classic fartsack day that YHC was forced to post for and it was good. YHC had two Qs planed and opted for this one. Weather 40 degrees Disclaimer/Prayer The Thang: Mosey around …

The PAX said YHC was angry today, but what they called “angry” was more about motivation. Come on, they were being a bit slow in their mosey and didn’t want to hold their blocks overhead, so SOMEONE had to be their cheerleader, right?? The Q always seems to be the bad guy. YHC could have …
Written last week; posted on Nov 7, 2018: The Shank was hopping today with some Slammer action. This will be YHC’s second to last Slammer during the AOQ administration, so why not modify it a little bit. The last time we did this, everyone seemed okay with it, but Ken Doll wasn’t here to witness …

YHC, a proud Appalachian State graduate, was overly grateful to the AP for voting the Mountaineers into the top 25 this week. Unfortunately, those heathens from Georgia Southern ruined the short lived party. However, the goal here was to share in the glory with the brothers of Shawshank, so all reps in this workout incorporated …
The CAT guys announced on Friday that they were planning to come join us for the Saturday semi-vergence of surrounding AOs. So I figured I better have something fun for them. The block workout used was one previously “rained out” by one of the hurricanes so I wasn’t sure how things would go. It seemed …

An embarrassingly low turnout on Tuesday lit the accountability fire so 17 men posted (including 8 for Stridelite) for Thursday’s edition of The Shank. The weather was perfect.

16 pax beat the fartsack and posted for a Dunphy double whammy Birthday and 4 yr Anniversary Q. Pax heeded the call to wear orange in honor of Darth Visor who F3 nation lost recently. The mumble chatter started slow but rose to the Shank standard. The buy in gator merkins was a rough start …
First of all, Happy birthday to Rocking Chair. A true #HIM. While many were celebrating his birthday workout somebody had to hold down the fort on this side of town. So YHC decided to use opportunity to try out his newest purchase from the F3 store. Flip over the first card and do the exercise. …

YHC has been sitting on this one for a little while, and was actually planning on rolling it out at Cryptonite this Saturday, but due to Florence, YHC decided to drop it on the Shawshank Pax.

On Tuesday the Shank was dark. Real dark. All the lights were pretty much off. On Thursday, the AOQ must have worked some magic, because as YHC came down Barr road the sky was lit up. The Shank had almost every light on available. YHC started quickly rethinking his Q to take advantage of the …

On Friday night, YHC asked if anyone was posting the following morning. YHC already knew the answer, but wanted some HC’s so he could prepare a red pill for this group of animals. With a plan in hand, YHC stopped by C.A.T. and borrowed about 40 bricks for the day’s festivities. This ended up being …
Ah, the gloom. YHC had not a dang clue what to Q this morning, and 100% made this one up on the fly. Fortunately, there was Stridelite, so the opportunity to wake up and get the cobwebs out was used to at least come up with a starting point for this Q. Weather: who knows, …

This week marks my 3rd anniversary of F3. So this is my first of three Qs for the week, all at the first 3 AOs I went to. Namely Snakepit (where it all began on Saturday 7/18/15), Shawshank (where I did my first weekday workout), and The Hollow (which I learned about later, was closer …

YHC had to improvise his Weinke today. It’s true, this happens to many of us when we decide to Q, but this wasn’t because YHC forgot his plan. Nope, one of our senior leaders decided to run more after Stride lite and did not come back for BC, which is completely out of character for …

A combination of Q writer’s block and YHC thinking it was going to be a monsoon this AM resulted in a simple but effective oldie…the deck of cards. What we lacked in creativity and number of reps, we made up for in slow, intentional, and proper form. Uncle Ron would’ve been proud had he been …
Earlier in the week YHC had to made a quick business trip to Jacksonville. I booked a hotel near the F3 AO there (Anthill) figuring I’d be able to post Tuesday morning. Things worked out as expected and I made it to bootcamp, joining a great group of guys. The Q did some preliminary exercises …

YHC likes to come up with a couple workout routines and take them to different AOs when Qing. Admittedly cut-n-pasting the back blast is a time saver. When those routines become stale, new routines are figured out. To make light of this I printed out a back blast, crumbled it up, and placed it in …
