3-4-2026 Possum Trot – Learning to Count-Off

/in /by

Nine PAX converged on Possum Trot from near and far.

WU: SSH 25x, Imperial Walkers 10x, Hillbillies 10x, Arm Circles F/B 10x, BB sit-ups 20x

ME: Grab a rock. Success. Count off. Failure. Finally determined we had nine PAX. Then, we managed to count off as Group 1, 2, 1, 2, 1, 2…

Thang 1: Group 1: Slide rock across parking lot while bear crawling. Lots of different methods, including Sprinkler with a steady slide all the way across, leaving a nice skidmark; sliding and rolling was the most common approach, plus a couple of tosses. Group 2: Arm exercises, including curls and overhead press. At least two successful rounds. Time to move on!

Thang 2: Mosey with rock overhead and place rock at bottom of hill. Together, climb hill and do exercises on guard rail 5x. Dips and irkins. Requested by Gump.

Thang 3: Slide rocks for the final time down the back stretch (to make up for losses at parking lot). Return rocks.

Thang 4: Tennis courts. Group 1: BTW 20 second count. Group 2: Plank hold

Thang 5: Suicides on tennis courts. Beautiful courts, four courts wide. Requested by Six Inch.

Mary: Low slow flutter, Freddie Mercury, pickle pounders, Superman

Announcements: Q ‘Em All Challenge

Prayer Requests: Escobar’s wife receiving cancer treatment, Ausfart’s wife recovering from surgery, military personnel shot down in current middle east war.

The Ground Pounder 2/14/2026

/in /by

 thank you @Gump for getting me set up with a login

2/14/2026. The Ground Pounder – two of my Slack friends ( @Gump , @Socrates) joined me this morning at The Ground Pounder. They were not Slackers facing the morning cold, but they are High Impact Men, out working their minds, body’s and spirits.

We started with morning stretches – Sir Fazio, side straddle hops, Willy Mayes Hayes, good mornings, body squats, overhead arm stretches and seal claps. Gingerly mosey (no running here) to the rock pile with curls, overhead tri’s, rows, overhead press, and our namesake Ground Paounder -repeat. Small rocks with titillas, Arnold’s, and kickbacks – repeat. Short walk to the wall for Papal chair, and heal raises – repeat

Mary:  No playing around at the playground – with step ups, dips and Merkins. Finished with a round of Mary – low slow flutter ( Q favorite), hello dolly, heal taps and American hammers. Ran out of time for plank.

Prayers:  Asked for our Lord to hear prayers of F3 Nation and to guide us going forward today -followed by a second F with coffee fellowship at Fables coffee in HS.

Missing PAX:  We missed @Ausfart @Lube @Dauber, @Pole Vault, @Cancun, @stubbs, and always looking for @Forceps – hope to see more of you out next week

F3:  more thank a workout!

Presidents Day UFO

/in /by

Warm Up:  Started the warm-up with some Side Straddle Hops, Frankensteins, and Willy Mays Hays to get the muscles moving before the main event. 

The Workout: The main event started as one big group with a Burpee on the frisbee drop, but then a few more showed up, and we had to split into 2 games. 

Many discs were dropped, and many burpees and squats were performed, but we got the job done, and everyone walked away relatively unscathed. 

Announcements: Q them all and set a number of weekly workouts challenges are active and running. If you complete the Q-Them all challenge, you will receive a custom shirt. 

Prayer- General Prayers  

Curling on Heroin Hill

/in /by

FNGs: NoneWarm Up: SSH IC, Good Mornings IC, Sir Fasio Arm Circles, and stretching.

The Workout: A mix of elevation gaining exercises of Murder Bunnies and Moonwalks up Heroin Hill (rocks in tow), Dips and Urkins on the guardrail at the top, something resembling Olympic shot put/curling/bocce on the way down, and Burpees and WW1s at the bottom. Some complaints were filed by some competitors alleging that the rocks were not uniform and that some competitors in the shot put had an unfair advantage. To settle the controversy, rocks were rotated among each man with a rotation of Ground Pounders, Curls Fu Du Gurls, Tris Fu Du Guys, WW3s, and Overhead Presses.

Mary: LSF IC, Homer-to-Marge IC, LBCs IC, and a 45 second chill cut plank hold
