25 Days of Christmas

I apologize to any PAX that I may have accidentally left off the list, leaving early throws me off when I miss the name-o-rama!  I will admit with no shame in my game that the idea for my workout came off of pinterest.  As Shorty and I were discussing during the first mosey…they really do […]

Q School: Copy, Paste, Delete

Q School last week at The Mount.  Q School this week at Hurler.  The workouts were both very familiar.   Biggest difference is that Mount boys do a lot of mumblechatter.  Granite Falls boys?  Not so much….that’s the Delete part of this title.  Anyway, it went a bit like this (edits for Hurler in parentheses), pretty […]

Pinochle at the Mount

Whoop whoop, posting my first BackBlast. Arrived at the Mount a few minutes early and drove to a nearby parking lot to drop off two decks of cards for later. Drove back to the flag and hopped out of the truck. It’s cold. 5:30, an FNG showed up, so YHC stumbled through an intro and […]

It’s a pre-Thanksgiving miracle

Finally, Cousin Eddie has attended (and survived) a Q by Doughboy.  I didn’t think that this day would ever come.  When I saw that he was a HC for Organ Grinder, I thought that I might need to “lollipop” the workout, but after doing backward bear crawls up hills at his last Q, I knew […]

Training for a Spartan Race

YHC had the Q at Whipping Stick this past Saturday (yes I know the BB is late, but better late than never – like Cousin Eddie showing up for my Q).  Little did the guys know that they were going to train for a Spartan race.  The workout was a Spartan WOD and the PAX […]

Mount, meet F3 Workout Deck

For Father’s Day, my M got me the official F3 Workout Deck.  The cards finally arrived about two weeks ago so I decided to introduce The Mount to them.  14 brave souls showed up to get better.  Weather conditions weren’t bad with temps right at 70 but there was plenty of sweat when we got […]

October 2018 1st F stuff

Great title, C Ed. Thanks. Howdy men and greetings from F3Hickory’s website.  Ain’t it a beauty? Couple of 1st F items for discussion.  Feel free to read, completely gloss over, and/or provide any feedback you feel necessary.  Except you.  And you over there in corner. Thanksgiving Convergence: If you’re in town on Thanksgiving Day, why […]

Super 21’s @TheMount

9 PAX showed up on a warm, muggy Tuesday morning to get better. It went something like this. Warm-up (in cadence, 12 reps) SSH ATT Imperial Storm Troopers Forward Arm Circles Reverse Arm Circles Windmills and last but not least, it wouldn’t be a F3 workout if there weren’t any burpees.  5 Burpees OYO. Now […]
