16 regular PAX and 4 FNG posted.
After disclaimer, Bandit (VQ) covered basics of counting, including demonstration of with the merkin. See http://f3nation.com/2012/02/22/f3-tv-how-to-count/
PAX moseys to the Flag for the Pledge, the moseys to field at Greer MS.
Warm-o-rama · SSH – 25 IC · Merkins – 10 IC · Prisoner Squat – 15 IC · Little Baby Crunch (LBC) – 15 IC · Imperial Walker – 20 IC · Merkins w/ Rotation – 10 IC · Prayer Squat – 15 IC · Freddie Mercury – 15 IC Mosey around the track – 1 lap.
The Thang #1 · Whamo Lunge Walks. Check out http://f3nation.com/exercises/#w · PAX chased the Frisbee around the field. · Sprinting to Frisbee in the air. · Then various lunges and crawls to reach Frisbee when it hits the ground. · First one to Frisbee launches it again and the chase resumes. The Thang #2 The thought was Wheel of Animal Walk but it quickly turned into a Wheel of Animal Crawl as the Q had bigger thoughts than he did muscles. We crawled like a South Georgia gator and growled like a South Dakota bear (there are bears in South Dakota, right?) in the field, then crawled like a South Cackilacky raccoon across the bleachers (someone mentioned Godfather should have been here for this one). We broke these up with some plank as well as SSH, Merkin, mountain climbers, and a little moseying. Once we pulled the grass out of our eyes, we did 10 minutes (or maybe a little less) of Burpees and then did a little moseying before chowing down on a Bojangles biscuit with some blueberries. At this point the Q was on his knees and wishing he had fartsacked so we did a brief mosey to the flag where we did people’s chair until just before the bells of freedom rang to set us free. Again, keep Bandit’s mother in law in prayers and a special thanks to our armed forces this holiday weekend. Next week, Brownstreak has the Q. NEW AO ON TUESDAYS: STUART CRAMER HIGH SCHOOL 5:30AM START |

After some encouragement, I was asked to tag multiple regions for this post. I am JD from Lake Murray, SC.
Here we go. This is the, “what F3 has meant to me post”. Now, I know this post has been done many times before, so hopefully I can add something to what has already been said. Disclaimer: I am not the best writer when it comes to writing about my thought and feelings. Scientific writing is my wheelhouse, give me some data and I will give you a nice report with succinct analysis. So be patient as I muddle through. I want this post to be an encouragement and a thank you to all PAX. Anyone who has been in F3 longer than a few months knows that this is more than just a workout. What we do on a daily basis is of extreme value and instrumental in changing and/or accelerating the lives of men.
Lately, I have been thinking a lot on what is F3 to me? This is the best answer I came up with. It is a gift from God I didn’t deserve or even knew I needed. God has blessed me with many things in my life. He has blessed me with so many people throughout my life whom have supported and helped me. I have an awesome wife, two of the best children and a great career. Isn’t it funny how we pray for things and instead of granting our prayers, God gives us more than we could have even conceived to begin with. I was praying to lose some weight, God gave me F3, how small was my faith?
A little history about myself. My father left when I was 2. I grew up poor, mostly in WV. I moved 16 times. I was raised in an abusive home by a bipolar mother with a revolving door of loser stepdad/boyfriends. Cocaine, marijuana, alcohol abuse were the norm. It sucked. I never felt secure and it was hard. I could write a book on the last 2 sentences. Then, I got invited to church in junior high. I accepted Jesus and found myself surrounded by a 2nd F group. Without the help of my grandparents and this group of people, I would most likely have been a statistic. Instead, I am the first person in my family with a doctorate degree (or even graduate degree). Fellowship changed it all. I didn’t know I needed those people but God did. I feel the same way about my F3 brothers. My life has been changed again with the motor of fellowship and accountability.
When I first posted to F3, I was going through one of the saddest times of my life. My grandfather passed away on June 9, 2014. It wasn’t expected. He had a heart attack. My grandfather was flawed, simple, and good. Not a bad way to live. He was the only father figure that I had and the only man I felt ever loved me. Losing him was tough and I was depressed for a while. Death is one of those things that makes you reevaluate yourself. I wanted to be better. Even armed with the knowledge of a degree in exercise physiology and a doctorate in physical therapy I found it hard to get into shape. As I looked in the mirror at a 260# size 44 waist-ed man who works in healthcare, I knew I had to change. I didn’t want my family crying over my casket like we were that day. I knelt down by my grandfather, held his hand, prayed, and promised him I would change. I would lose 40#. (Now, I had not yet read Free to Lead, and didn’t even know about POGO 40, so I find this ironic).
When I got back home, the next week I got invited to F3 by Swampy and on 7/23/2014 I showed up in all my glory for a Pothole led leg day. It was too hard for me. I pulled an ab doing a burpee, I was back of the pack wheezing just trying to keep up. Had it been any other class at a gym or crossfit place I probably wouldn’t have came back. But F3 does something different. They pick up the 6, they encourage, they inspire, they don’t leave a man behind. I couldn’t even run 100 yards my first time out, but I had resolve to #getbetter to #bebetter. 6 months later I ran a 1/2 marathon. I’ve done a 12K trail run, mud run, P200, GRL730, I’ve lost 57lbs. A guy that couldn’t run a 100 yards did all that in less than a year. Why, because men saw fit to invest in the lives of other men. #service Next up are a GRC/GRL double down and the BRR. I look forward to the fellowship. These CSAUPs/adventures have been some of the best times of my life.
Today I am in the best shape of my life. I am definitely a better father, husband, and son. It is funny, I used to think, with my judgemental POGO 40 brain, fathers in excellent shape must not be paying attention to their families and are focused too much on themselves. It became my excuse much of the time. I don’t go to the gym because I love my family. I convinced myself that my inactivity was noble. How messed up is that? I used to think, why would I go run a mile, I would be too tired to play with my kids. Now, I can double down, get home when they are waking up and still run circles around them all day. I am calmer, happier, stronger, and faster.
What we do is important. It is more than a workout. I am honored to share life with you gentlemen. I want to say thank you! Let’s keep getting these FNGs out here, keep picking up the 6, and do what we do. I love you guys!
Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. Phillipians 3:14
#ThankYouForTheseAwesomeBodies
#GasHouse was filled with gift giving, a lovely scenic run, some twitter facts about one of the PAX, and VQ’s.
- The PAX were surprised to receive gifts this morning, but all faces turned from pure joy to displeasure as they came upon 15 cinder blocks. The look quickly turned to determination as all PAX conquered the cinder block portion of our workout.
- The PAX were also excited for a scenic run that eventually turned into an Indian Run that seemed to last forever….I believe we would still be running if someone didn’t let an unnamed FNG know that they had to sprint to the front of the line.
- During the COT we learned that Godfather was an ailurophile (Thanks Twitter)….I’ll save you the time looking it up… he loves cats and all things related to cats.

Men of F3 Nation,
Like the detached arm of a starfish that then regrows into its own, @F3Nation will soon be growing a bit stronger. @F3MECA is launching a new AO in the Davis Lake area! Come be a part of the inaugural workout of @F3 Davis Lake!
When: Saturday, May 30, 2015 at 7am sharp
Where: Davis Lake Clubhouse, 9000 Davis Lake Pkwy, Charlotte, NC 28269. Park in lot behind the pool.
No prior training is required and the workouts are designed to keep all fitness levels challenged. If you are hesitant because you think you need to workout to be ready to post, any F3 man will tell you that the only thing that will get you ready to post…is to post.
Post workout, we will gather at the Davis Lake Chick-Fil-A for coffee and fellowship.
Please forward to your friends, family, co-workers, neighbors, etc. Our only requirement is that you are male and you need it (we all need it). All you need to bring is a willingness to try something new and challenging.
Local Qs, if you are interested in leading a workout, we are starting with Tues, Thurs., and Saturday bootcamps. Sign up here:
http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0a4eaaaf2ca7fc1-qsignup
Please email any questions to F3DavisLake@gmail.com and follow us on Twitter for updates @F3DavisLake.
We look forward to seeing on you the gloom!
The Farm
After several weeks of test drives, the men of F3 Gastonia demanded the keys and went full throttle on their first solo mission. Linus and Whoopee had their VQs and demanded another downpainment. 21 PAX including 6 FNGs convened for our workout this week. Linus eased us into the first 15 minutes then ripped the top off of a can of “beat you into submission” for the next 15 minutes. Whoopee led the last 30 minutes with a little date with Dora then we went to the track. On the way to the track we passed some nefarious middle schoolers (don’t think they were at school on Saturday for good behavior) with a little too much mumble chatter until they saw The Godfather coming over the hill with the sun to his back like a scene from Pale Horse Rider. All got quiet as the hulking beast sped past them on his way to down a few biscuits with some blueberries (burpees) on the side.
The Thang:
WU:
Imperial Walker, Press/Press/Press Fling (props to Roscoe currently fartsacking at the beach), Don Quixotes, Mosey to Flag-Pledge of Allegiance
The Thang:
Mosey to church dodging cars along the way
SSH X 25, Merkins X 10, Plank – Right/Left arms, Plank Jacks X 10, Mountain Climbers X 10, Prayer Squats X 10, Flutter Kicks X 10, LBC X 10
Finish off with Morning Wood
Mosey to back side of church for more pain:
Equal parts of each along 100 yards of pavement: Bear Crawl / Crab Walk / Lunge / Bunny Hops followed by 100 yards of bear crawl/grapevine (more grapevine than bear crawl for many of us).
Somewhere in there we did a couple handfuls of Booyah Merkins (my personal favorite of the day which I did with FNG Orville).
After short recovery, 5 count Capt. Dan Taylor (I liked these) and then suicides for 100 yards.
And then came Whoopee…..
Dora 1-2-3: 100 Merkins, 200 Squats, 300 flutters shared by groups of 2 with 30 stairs to keep you busy while partner spends time with Dora. Just for the record, Dora is not my favorite.
Mosey to track with respect to nefarious middle schoolers and their mumblechatter/Godfather as noted above for 2 Bojangles biscuits with 10 blueberries per lap-this is a special in GasHouse. On track go “James T. Kirk” on straights (give her all she’s got) then mosey the turns, add 10 blueberries (burpees) each lap.
Finished with COT and 6 FNGs:
Steven Long: Stroganoff, Scott Pagan: Deliverence, ollin Sloop: Shrimpboat, Danny Ross: Orville, Andy Wilson: Anthrax, Gene Allen: E4
Moleskin:
Afterwards, coffeteeria with newspaper guy for pics (hope he lives long enough for pics to be developed). T-Claps to the Charlotte, Rock Hill, and other F3 guys for getting us off the ground. T-Claps to the FNGs for posting. We’re here every week so come back, with a friend.
Thanks to Dr. Feelgood for the Freed to Lead signed by all PAX given to Linus and me at the end for our VQ.
If I missed you in the BB, sound off.
Keep coming out to the Gashouse and bring FNGs! #giveitaway
A faint mist descended upon the Schiele AO on the brisk Saturday morning. 18 PAX gathered to see what Gunny and Package had in store.

COT
Molskine
I can only imagine that to a passerby, that we looked like a bunch of Gorillas trying to hump a football marching down the field. I am just glad Seacrest only weighs a buck fifty. Swiper had the wrong idea when we tore off back to the lot, we in fact did not end early, but after the Gunny beat down that would have been appropriate. I was very optimistic on my “planning” for the picnic tables, 25 count was aggressive. Gunny proved age is really just a number, and that it is possible to have a negative body fat percentage. The GAST pax continue to prove they are full of piss and vinegar. They are improving on the cadence, which is hard at first, but extremely important. The men from the Fort will return on 5/9 to for a Q-School that will get everyone involved. They are also in need of a site Q for the AO to arrange and coordinate leaders for each workout, tempting to nominate Roscoe. If someone does not volunteer, they will be volun-told. It’s nice to see how this group of men have come together over a short few weeks. Remember the golden rule of being the Q -“If you can’t do it, don’t Q it.”
Announcements
Patriot – Rock Hill – 1 Year anny is 5/2 and will host a convergence for all area AOs in the Fort.
Prayers for Back-up and his family after losing his younger brother on Friday. Don’t live with regrets, life is too short.
(note: I am sure I got some of the details wrong on the workout, sue me)
Disclaimer, 2 FNG “who will now be forever known as Castro & Dr. Feelgood”, and welcome to #TheGasHouseF3 , Team Gastonia is building great momentum at this AO, if you have not been here…you need to try it out.
T-Claps to 777, Chaser, Corn Hole, Dark Helmet, Gunny, Package, Roscoe, and Seacrest for #givingitaway and showing up to support Gastonia, I appreciate your willingness to step up and lead.
A quick shout out to Swiper for the invite, it is always awesome to be part of a launch.
The commitment level of the Gastonia PAX is outstanding and it was great to see so many of them have been here since the launch weekend…this is going to be a strong group.
Seacrest had his (VQ) and did an outstanding job of conducting the warmup. A strongly structured COP (circle of pain) is an essential to a F3 workout. Seacrest lives in Fort Mill now, but his heart is still in Gastonia, and it was awesome to see his leadership displayed. SSH, IW, Squats, Windmills, Americans, Mountain Climbers, and a couple of others all called in strong cadence. Made me proud, and this one is going to be a strong leader.
Run to Flag Pole where Gunny lead us in a strong group rendition of “The Pledge of Allegiance”
Since I am on Q = we started running
Mosey over to Middle School track
We got in about 3 miles in and spent the next 45 minutes moving around the track and using the corners as stations
We started off with a lunge walk forward routine, bear crawl / crab walk routine, high knees / butt kickers routine, light sprinting backwards routine, I really was trying to get myself loose.
The 10 burpees at every corner seemed to be a real crowd pleaser. The 10 squats at each corners seemed to have made my legs sore today…or was it the 25 SSH at each corner? No matter proud of each man fighting through to the finish.
Quick discussion on #HIM, the #HIM above us and that resides inside of us, and the power of letting #HIM inside you shining through your activities. We transitioned to a discussion on aligning ourselves with other #HIM. Seemed like a reviewed a couple of other topics like #Sadclowns, my mind went blank after Gunny’s inchworm/plank/American sequence…
And then I basically started a Q school about half way through the workout. It was great to see each of the Gastonia men gain confidence leading from the front of the PAX. T-Claps to the men with experience sharing, training, and leading when we broke out into the teams for individual Q coaching, it seems to have paid off.
Here is a cool backblast written about Dark Helmet’s VQ, the last 2 paragraphs describes what most men feel the first time they Q (lead): http://f3nation.com/2015/03/18/kettlebell-burpees-yeah-thats-a-thing-at-the-armory/
Your F3 brothers are making an investment in you because we are going to expect you to lead (and being a Q is the just part of that), even on the days when only one other guy shows up, give him the best workout you got in you…that is truly being a #HIM…and that is why I have been doing F3 six days a week since I started 2 years ago. F3 will make you better by teaching you to improve yourself as a leader and a follower.
Our time together was well spent today, please come visit me for one of my Qs in Fort Mill, I‘m always good for a double your money back guarantee…we will do hand release pushups until our arms fail…or a burpee mile…something #CSAUP…
COT
Prayer & Praise, BOM (CSPAN style where everyman shares a prayer or praise, and if you can’t think of something…we will plank until you have something to share), and we had strong attendance for post fellowship at Panera.
Moleskin:
Always an honor to Q, appreciate the honor to lock shields with Seacrest and the other fine gentlemen of Gastonia, here is everything in my notes:
- Dredd has a great video showing the “Q -how to count” dynamics, here is the link: http://f3nation.com/2012/02/22/f3-tv-how-to-count/
- 4/25/15 Gastonia #Clowncar with Package and Gunny – your welcome #sorryNOTsorry
- 4/30/15 F3 Golf and just ask Package or Menthol as The Fort is defending champions = see Package for Teams and details
- 5/2/15 1 year Anniversary of Rock Hill with Dredd & OBT here is the link: http://f3nation.com/2015/04/09/rock-hill-anniversary-convergence-1hundred/
- 5/25/15 Memorial Day Murph at NAFO at 0640 read pre-blast here is the link: http://f3nation.com/2015/04/08/pre-blast-memorial-day-murph/
- 5/30/14 #Clowncars to Asheville (Chaser & I are on Q)
- If you haven’t Q’d , step up, it is what makes F3 work
- #HIM = High Impact Man
- #NoFatPants = Once you make the physical change of F3, burn the ship and those fat pants as there is no going back. A man who can’t get his 1st F on track will never get his 2nd and 3rd Fs online
- Read “Freed to Lead” here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Freed-To-Lead-Unshackling-Modern-day-ebook/dp/B00JJQB2Z8
- The 2nd and 3rd F will come only grow with deliberate leadership
- Appreciate the enthusiasm, and get your twitter account going, and follow me @CSPANF3 & @F3TheFort
CSPAN – over & out
15 crewmen came aboard Carrier’s cruise to the Islands of Adventure. All returned safely.
Itinerary
After a few welcome merkins we departed for Flagpole Island (located just off the coast of the Gastonia Library).
SSH x20
Everyone agreed to stop at each sand bar (speed bump) for 3 complementary churkins.
Cruise continues clockwise around the Library coast to Long Island where most everyone participated in some lively karaoke to the other end of the island, then we continued the fun with some Michael Jackson moves, which for most looked like the backwards run to the first part of Long Island. From this end the beach was wide open again, so we got in our low riders and lunged forward and backward down the beach.
We were done with Long Island until the next trip, and headed for Holy H Island, named by the pirates of Gastonia after the place they never wanted to go, but today the cruise veered off for a nature outing. First on the beach of Holy H Island we discovered crabbing, then it got real scary around the other side when we discovered there were bears. We could get off Holy H Island quick enough.
We ended up a small deserted island with one lonely tree on it. There was nothing there to do but lazily plank walk around the entire island with our feet in the water and our hands on the beach. Oh, how we were ready to be rescued from what we called Spot Island.
When rescued from Spot Island we immediately returned to port at Flagpole Island. But since we paid for a 2 day cruise, we kept our clothes on and went around the islands again after doing some odd dance called the Imperial Walker. How fun was that !
Obviously it was not fun at all, so to liven up the trip, we had a guest visit from our favorite Jack Webb. He kept everyone entertained so much they were falling on the floor and raising their hands over their heads hysterically. If they weren’t raising their arms, there were a few that had such a great time they were sprawled out flat on the ground, and couldn’t even raise their arms to applaud how great a time they were having.
The cruise director originally thought “we will probably just do the cruise bit the whole time”, but very clearly, there were early signs of ship jumpers in our cruise party, so we went back inland for the balance of our time.
Back on drive land, we discovered the natives were very hospitable by providing a nice grouping of picnic tables to rest our feet on, but before we went on our picnics we went through the miniature obstacle course. When through the obstacle course, we spent some time with doing brain exercises combining numbers that add to 7, while stepping on the furniture and almost lying on the ground except our feet were still on the furniture. You never know what goes on amongst a group of picnic tables well hidden at the back of a parking lot behind a museum, although if you look carefully you could find evidence of some of those activities. Someone was at least being careful.
Next up was a short exploratory visit to the trails with stops along the way to take a few dips – sorry the pool was no where to be found. We were warned of the dead end we might find so we simply went up and down the same hill until it was time to return to wince we came. To get back we played one last memory game which was to line up by age, followed by acting like we were back in the day when Indians roamed these same trails but were being chased out by the English settlers. We raced out of the woods, to where we had a short visit with Mary, Peter, and Peter’s twin Parker.
With the cruise over, we said our good byes and returned to the real world.
Announcements:
Turns out there are other F3 workouts just up the road, so check the website and get your arse to other workouts.
The Fort takes the lead the next two Saturdays, so come back yourself, bring a couple of friends who you know you can run circles around them because you now have a cool F3 nickname, and they don’t.
It was an honor to Q at GasHouse. Anyone that asks me – I tell them it’s one of the best AOs I have seen. I love hearing when new guys recognize the potential of a trail or a bench, or the side of a building. I look forward to coming back to GasHouse to see what the guys here make of it.
