Big crowd for the last Prison Break of 2022. We had a few new regulars this year including Camelia, Pall Bearer, Rum Runner, and Chubbs. Great to see you guys out there throughout the year as well as all of the regulars. Looking forward to 2023!

Kettlebells were involved. Or they weren’t. Hard to say.
The legend returned and Q’d his Redwoods Beatdown and it was one-of-a-kind. Rocks and walls were involved.
Another wet misty morning at Crossroads to kick off the new year! The usual suspects launched around 6:10 for 7. The rest of us rucked or ran 3 to 5. Great crowd (17 HIM), not unlike your local Planet Fitness for at least the 1st month of the year… the Pushing Rocks challenge is in full swing. Although, Broke did offer up a couple of Team Midoriyama Misfits for the transfer portal!!! Pledge, COT, & Broke prayed us out. Moved inside for Q-Source on the 8-block goal setting system. Sorry, not one of my whole pack of pens worked (yes, Mayor before you reply back, we all know that YOU had one that did cause you’re a boyscout like that and all) so we just discussed the block with the hopes that all will complete later. Post it somewhere that’s visible to you so you can refer back often and hold each other accountable. It was a pleasure to lead you guys today. Thanks.

Prayer Requests: Gumby’s Mom, Wirenut’s family, Ozark’s family, Huckleberry, Turtleman, (may have missed a couple others since my video stopped?
Gavel was sick so somebody had to step in the gap.
We warmed up. We moseyed to the deepest, darkest part of the Martha’s House Forest for some burpees and then four corners in the dark. Stroganoff and Maybelline stepped up for some set pieces in the parking lot that got the PAX all swole and sweaty. It was great.
Earlier this week I saw on Slack that Midoriyama needed someone to take the Q on Thursday so I said why not. I told the Slawbag I’d take it and so here we are. Now this will my second post of the day and I have done a months worth of block work already this week at Folsom. That being said I figure why stop now. I can’t all the take credit for what happened next. You see Sparky made one of his rare appearances on Tuesday ( I think he’s up to like 12 for the year) and he kicked the crap out of us with a WOD he got from the PizzaMan called Black Jack. Well I figured I’d steal some parts from it and add my own twist to it. Here’s how it went down.
The Warm Up
25 – SSH / 5 – Mike Tyson’s Now Mayor loved this so much I decided to do 4 more rounds but decided to drop the SSH by 5 each time. After that we continued to warm up the shoulders with some rounds of arm circles and crossbody / OH arm and triceps stretches.
The Thang
20 to 1 Squats / 1 to 20 Merkins Each round has a total of 21 Reps between the squats and merkins. Sounds simple right well it would be but we were on a timer as well. Every 3 minutes we had to stop and do Burpees. Now we were supposed to do 3 Burpees every 3 minutes but evidently I didn’t clarify that so it ended up being 1 Burpee every 3 minutes. That’s OK I’ve got a fix for that. Once the Bat-flippers finished their rounds I had them jog the parking lot until the 6 was finished and got a lap in as well. We’ve got a little time left so The Burpee Fix will be AMRAP DORACIDES with each partner completing an AMRAP round of Block Curls, Block OH Ext., and finally Block OHP and while other partner does suicide sprints with escalating burpees at each stop.
Put the blocks up and Time.

As I said in the beginning I kinda mashed up a few different guys workouts from the past. I also threw in a little bit of my own flavor with them. I hope this put a good kind of hurting on you Evening Shade PAX. Thanks for the hard work and the much appreciated prayers and support my family and I have needed recently.

On the last day of the year, what’s left for us to do but celebrate? What better way to do that, in true F3 fashion, than to run the Inagural Beer Mile? This is what happened…
The concept is simple. Drink beer and run! Actually the rules asre as such: drink an unopened 12oz beer, run a 1/4 mile, drink another, run another 1/4 mile, drink, run, drink and run. 1 mile and 4 beers total. Sounds easy enough, right?
There were plenty of bystanders, more than the actual participants, on hand to help cheer on the athletes. Quiche happily offered to be the official timer and when he said GO, we went. The beers were popped, chugging commenced and rocks were pushed.
Some of the athletes downed their beers like it was fresh spring water. Some struggled and said it was too fizzy. One of us barely got his down, but down it went! Unfortunately, nobody spewed and suffered the cursed penalty lap. The crowd worked themselves into a frenzy all the way til the very last one was done. Everybody ran the last lap with Mayor together in victory.
Here are the results so that the next running can have a bar to strive for.
- Sargento – 8:48
- Freight – 10:27
- Short Sale – 11:30
- Balljoint – 12:06
- Ash Pond – 13:00
- Radar – 15:54
- Mayor – 20:10
All in all, it was exactly what YHC envisioned it to be, Completely Stupid and Utterly Pointless, but it was great! Everybody had fun, nobody got hurt and we got to drink beer and eat burgers. Thank you all for indulging my stupid side in grand fashion. It’s been a great year! AYE!!!
Good crowd this am with combination of bootcamp and pain lab. Started on time with quick disclaimer, especially since HunkAJunk brought an FNG-good work!!! Hit the pledge then get warmed up. It is my last Q as site Q so I thought I would try something….and as usual, it looked better on paper. We listened to part of “There’s a Carp in the Tub” which was 1 of my twins favorite songs when they were 2-3 years old. They are now 20 years old. The idea was get in plank position, every time you hear “carp” do a plank jack. This lasted about 30 seconds then the gong went off in my head and we moved on to the live version of Billy Idol and “Rebel Yell” with SSH and every time you hear “More, more, more” drop down and do a burpee. Again, better on paper so this maybe lasted about 15 seconds….move on to some regular exercises for WU and then split from the PainLabbers.
Mosey to back side of FPC church to the parking lot. Hop across the lot long ways (in case you are wondering, hopping sucks donkey balls), mosey back. Lunge same distance, mosey back. Karaoke L same distance, mosey back. Karaoke R same distance, mosey back. Mosey to steps at the PAD for 11’s: big boys at the bottom, Mike Tyson’s at the top. Part way thru I Omaha’d to have the first guy up the steps has to hop up while others were able to mosey up the steps. Well that didn’t really help as Defib was still first up almost every time. This was pretty tough, at least tougher than I planned or expected so I asked Stroganoff for a countdown from 50 to recover. We moseyed to the Baptist parking lot for some more work: 10 merkins at the top, high knees to other side, 5 burpees, Nur back. 10 merkins at the top, butt kickers to other side, 10 big boys, Nur back to top. 10 Merkins, hop to the bottom (again, hopping still sucks), pick what you want: 10 big boys or 5 burpees, Nur back to top. 14 count from JJ to recover. Mosey to front of FPC church for merkin countdown from 10 with 1 lap between each set then mosey home with some wall sits on the way then a little Mary at the end.
Good work men-closed out with COT and named out FNG Ethan Johnson/Pale Rider. Thanks for the opportunity to lead. ShortSale takes over next week as site Q.
Whoopee
