3 Cleaverers (Clevearites? Cleaverians?) and 16 bootcampers launched from Point Break on a crisp and windy morning. After a mosey and warmup we found safety from the wind in a parking deck, at Term Paper’s welcome suggestion.
Thang 1: The world’s shortest, but not easiest, 11’s. Bear crawl about 20 feet, Merkin, Crab Walk back, LBC.
Interlude: Washington Commanders Run (or Kenyan Queue) modified so the front person dropped off, performed 5 Merkins, then catches up to the back and yells “Loud and Proud, the Six”. After some confusion about which line the yelling was for one group modified the call to wish YHC a Happy Birthday.
Thang 2: 11’s on a hill. CDDs at top, Squats at bottom, and PAX choice of Everests or backwards run up the hill.
Mosey back to the flag, couple minutes o’ Mary, and Have a Nice Day!
It was a pleasure to be out with y’all this morning. I’m grateful for every one of you being out there, working hard, and supporting your fellow man. Few have it as good as we do. MIAGD!

Groups of 3 was the name of the game today.
Bubba for an EC (), joined up by two groups of 3 for the ME.
Mosey, warmups including SCS Jigglystyle and then to the green for Thang 1: Rock, Paper, Scissors. From our home base we ran up the north stairs for rock jump squats (ball up at the bottom like a rock) back to home for dips, then up the south stairs for Superman merkins (get flat like paper), back for for dips then across parking lot for X-ups (scissors def have an X situation going on). Rounds of 5, 10, then 15 reps.

Midway through the Krypto crowd showed up, and everyone just instinctively knew that each team must nominate a leader for an RPS battle. Bubba made us proud, per Grisham “prouder of him than his own mama.” What you didn’t learn from the Krypto backblast is that our 88 crowd pleased them with monkey humpers while they executed their penalty burpees.

We had time to squeeze in a quick round of The Ultimate Driving Machine and then back to the flag for Mary including Dowry’s Rick Rudes.
Tuck your shirt in and MIAGD!

13 HIMs braved the “feels like 12” cold for the unveiling of the new Shepherd’s Watch cinder blocks! We used those, plus some from the normal stash, for the entirety of the workout.

We walked with our blocks to the parking lot next to where I told kitty litter we’d be working out and got after it. The thang was partner up for a Cindy Dora with 100 OHP, 200 C4G and 300 chest presses while the partner walks the pickle. At one point the thoroughbreds from BiB finally showed up. Once finished, we walked back with blocks to the flag. Arms are sore.

DDD and HG2k25. Prayers for Kelly, prayers and praises for the commish’s son. MIAGD, gents!

19 HIM ventured west across Tryon road, warmed up, painted lines, then started some “Long Elevens.” CDD at top of the hill and Fox hole Merkins at the bottom. made it to about 6 by the time we needed to roll back to the flag.

1-year ago today I learned what a HIM was. I appreciate this group. Thank you for continuing to make me better.

Prayers for Giza wife who has fever, Gravel Mouths mom for surgery, and Bubbas friend who recently lost her husband.

Back in ’17 the only Tuesday workout was Field of Dreams until an up and coming rising star, who would one day invent the Maynard and another day invent South Cary, planted a flag at Kids Together Park and using the music theme would name it Flirtin with Disaster and give us bacon at the first hard launch of the site.

To pay hommage to the history of FWD YHC decided to repeato his first Q. You can read about it here: og.f3carpex.com/pick-up-your-6/

Jack Webbs was the name of the game.

One major modification that was NOT beneficial to us in on the bridge we swapped out crab movements and instead did Balls to the Wall Shoulder presses (1) to Aussie Mountain Climbers (4). We got to 4 or 5 and the Qs shoulder would have preferred stopping at 2!

When I gave some instructions there was some gasps but one hero in the crowd (it was dark not sure who – Useful or Dumas I think?) said it best (I’m paraphrasing), “Wow those are gonna suck, but I’m excited to do it” YES! You get it!!!

Ok then we came back and the Q asked if anyone has yet to Q before and Deet stepped up so YHC put him in the middle of the circle, instructed him on how to call an exercise, and then let him loose! He killed it! We then gave his 3 praises and 3 improvements to work on.

He’s now ready to Q! One of you spreadsheet box checkers can probably check a box if you get him signed up. It’s a very warm lead hah!

GREAT morning with these guys, really enjoyed it! Loved the full participation by everyone. Bubba gets a shout out for his last lap sprint so he could get a BIGGER rock. Atta boy!

MIAGD!!!

Felt a personal sense of honour to Q the 1st 88MPH, by invitation, of the year of our Lord 2025. Thanks @kittylitter.

10 came out to play this gloomy morning, including an FNG . With the FNG’s well being in mind, the @sherpa 5K minimum was abandoned for a more bootcamp friendly workout. Warmups and stretches at the Whole Foods and the main set of progressive 4-corners at the medical parking lot. Legs, upper body, core, and VO2Max were all tested here.

COT – FNG was named Giza (as opposed to geezer). Prayers for Kelly (@bubba’s friend who recently lost her husband to cancer). Prayers for Yogi’s children as well.

Multiple upcoming Qs were advertised and don’t forget to put The 2025 Highland Games on your calendar.

MIAGD!!!

Intimate gathering at the Shep this morning. Very high EC to ME numbers ratio, no doubt the highest in the region at 67%. Happy to report Chanticleer was able to complete the 1mi EC plus his own EC pre-run.

Moseyed north to Astro’s favorite restaurant for some warmups. Incorporated some glute stretching which Homegrown and I were both in need of. Then headed to the preschool for a DOG DORA, with each team completing 200 Derkins, Overhead Clap LBCs, and Gorilla Humpers in between dog head laps. My partner Unitard went full on beastmode.

Moseyed back to the church for some incrementing exercise laps around the courtyard. Bubba kept the mumblechatter on point, as always.

Strong performance by all, it was a real pleasure to lead these men.
MIAGD!

Co-Q Credit: Kitty Litter

4 for a non-:turtle: EC down to Kildare and back. An additional 30 gathered for a New Year’s Day Region-Anniversary Site-Launch extravaganza! We had an FNG, so we stumbled through the mission and core principles on the way to a FOLLOW ME around the small pickle to the dock for warmups. The PAX counted off by 1s and 2s and we headed for the rock pile.

Kitty Litter kept the 1s for rock work and Jigglypuff took the 2s for 7s on the hill. We flipflop’d after 10 minutes and repeato’d. Reconvene to put the rocks back and mosey to the flags.

At the flags, Mary consisting of the exercises created by the PAX last year – the M2H, Stingray Merkins, Stifler’s Mom, and CFH2M. Serious thanks to OTW for breaking up the motif – maybe we can explore a different part of the body this year.

COT where we named FNG Bruce ‘DeVito’ since he is the self-proclaimed shortest of his brothers. Hope to see him out again soon!

Prayers lifted up for Jerry’s family and for the new babies in our region (Brie spoken, Renfield unspoken). Huge praises for 2025 and our region – what a privilege to be a part of this and push to make each other better every day.

Another glorious morning at Jack It Up to close out the 2024 Monday season strong. My hopes for a Yogi 10 rounds of Tyson-induced merlot were quickly dashed as the myth was nowhere in sight. So instead off we moseyed to end the year in proper Jack It Up style, with a trip to the Valley of Death. 21s or 35s or whatever the heck Tinkertoy wants to call it after criticizing my naming/counting for the second time this year. Merkins at one end, squats at the other (starting at 14/21) with 5 Mountain Climbers each time we pass the bottom. I think we made it through 5 rounds. Back to the flag for some MARY and HAND.

Another quality JIU season in the books and YHC was honored to be the first recipient of the new Q gift at JIU  get on that Q sheet soon, you won’t want to miss out.

Don’t miss out on Spade’s Year In Review tomorrow at FWD and NYD convergence on Wednesday, 7a, LnL.

Starting with the typicle warmup of Side Straddle hops, good mornings, and Sumo Squats, we took turns running the pickle while the others did Inchworm Merkins, and Cocaine Bear Crawl. Moving on we added some core with Heals to Heaven and Zombie Crunches. Off to the other lot on east side via indian run. We did 4 corners with 5x Burpies, 10x Werewolf, 15x jump squats, and 20x Freddie Mercury. Mozy on the intersection where we did some Zebra butt kicks for the passing traffic. In the Brugers lot, we added lunge walks and paint the lines. Back to the Indian run down the trail to the rock bed. We added some Curls, presses, and rock my body drills. Medium mozy to the tunnel where we did some church chair, and balls to the wall. Sprinted up the hill in the neighborhood and back to the flag for a brief stretch. Thanks to the F3 members who came out.
Prayers for Kelly, and Parker, and family travel over the holiday season.
