Better Late Than Never – Cletus Backblast January 23, 2026

“Different In A Good Way” Five men strengthened our legs. 

Warm Up: Dynamic warmup leg swings (f/b and l/r).

The Workout: Found our quads when we dug in our heels on step ups and squats. We found the sledding hills of Womble and enjoyed monkey humpers, merkins, mountain climbers, and one-legged  squats.

Mary: Finished with 1970s yoga. Everyone learned something today! Legs and prep for pending ice storm. Be prepared!

Announcements: Accept the F3Southwake Q’Em All Challenge. Use the same spreadsheet for your own accountability

Prayer: Safety in the pending “ice storm” (that never happened LOL)

10 Years of BS

/in /by

YHC rolled into Cletus on June 12th solo while riding up on a mountain bike. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. The workout kicked my butt, but I loved it enough to keep coming back for 10 Years. A whole decade of my life I’ve been posting in the gloom. I’ve learned a lot and met a lot of cool dudes. YHC was ready to celebrate as this was day 4 of Throwback week from 2015 and the last original AO to Q. Here is how the PAX grew stronger together.

Warm Up run to upper lot with some agility
Willie Mayes Hayes
Red Bull Smurf Jacks
Slalom
Copperhead Merkins
Copperhead Squats

Two lines for indian run to lower parking lot.
7’s across the parking lot curb to curb
– Bear crawl to across and crawl bear back
– Absolutions and Turkish Getups were to exercises
Partner up
Brokeback dirkens – 4 rds (partners run opposite direction. when they meet, each does 10 reps of dirkens with feet on partners back)
Two lines for indian run back up to tennis courts

Partners again
Bullfrogs going across. Wheelbarrow if you cannot bullfrog. Go across both courts. Switch partners and come back.

Thunderstruck – SSH the entire song. Do a burpee every time you hear thunder. 36 total burpees.

Mary – Week 4 Core Challange
Only had time for 3 exercises: Capt. Thor’s 1:4, Banana Rolls, Freddy Mercury’s

COT
Announcements and Prayers – waited too long to post BB and forgot

It’s truly been a blessing having F3 in my life for a decade. A lot of men have come and gone but F3 continues to change lives. Thank you to each person that came out this week to help YHC celebrate 10 years of F3. I hope I’m still around Q’ing in 10 more.

God Bless,
BS Out!

That smell

/in /by

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, daisy pickers, Willy Mays hays, Sir Fazio arm circles, chinooks, mountain climbers

The Workout: 

Thing 1- PAX form two lines, each line possessed two soccer balls. At a jogging pace, the balls were thrown overhead to the pax behind, once at the back of the line that person sprints to the front to start the cycle again. Drops meant all pax stopped and performed 5 squats. ~1/2 mile loop around the park completed. We did a lot of squats.

Thing 2- Medium sized rocks were obtained and we made our way to the picnic shelter. Pax paired up for a music-based AMRAP/Dora style workout- one partner completed AMRAP exercises while the other partner cusacked their rock up a small hill and around a loop. When the song changed, the exercise changed (tricep extension, step ups, erkins, bicep curls). Skynyrd set the tone, and my free version of Spotify (like Lebron) blessed us with zero ads during the workout. Shoutout free Spotify. 

All pax participated in an extended wall sit for the duration of Saturday Night Special. Some pax held out for the whole time, others gave it a break… something about running plans for the weekend. Near the end of the first verse a thicc odor spread like the plague from an unnamed pax, driving others to seek refuge elsewhere in the shelter. Pax were unpleased by the aroma, Q was unpleased because it didn’t happen during “That Smell”. 

Mary: American hammer, WW1, plank hold

Announcements: 3rd F opportunities on Slack, fence painting with the town, Men’s night at local church

T-Claps (Recognition): Turkey and Nickelback both have kids graduating college

Prayer: Bobby B’s family member undergoing heart procedures, UTIs family member with a scary diagnosis.

Friends Old and New

FNGs: none

Warm Up: SSH, Good mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Willy Mayes Hayes, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Moroccan Night Clubs

The Workout: PAX were instructed to go get a “mediumish” rock and meet up at the amphitheater. 4 rounds of:
15 Curls for the Girls
15 Tricep Extensions
15 Ground Pounders
15 Ruh Rohs
15 Tempo Squats
bearcrawl down to the library doors, mosey back
We swapped rocks in between each round. Once done, we returned our rocks gently and responsibly back to the rock pile.

Mary: Plank for a 10 count around the circle (170 count total), LBCs, WWIIs, Homer-to-Marge, American Hammers, finished things up with a little stretching.

Announcements: UFO every 1st / 3rd and 5th Monday of the month! Watch for 3rd F opportunities with the town that help support our ability to use the fields at Ting for UFO.

T-Claps (Recognition): 3rd Cousin, Bobby Dall and Slide Rule for joining us back in the gloom. Good to see you all again!

Prayer: Midget and his family for their loss.

Thoughts: Midget shared with us at COT that his mom always put others first. He encouraged us to do the same in our own lives, put others first and always give. If you maintain this mindset of others first and use it as your guiding principle, the decisions you make will fall into the right place automatically.

A Roll of the Dice

/in /by

Warm Up: SSH, Good Mornings, Imperial Walkers, Hillbillies, Sir Fazio Arm Circles, Seal Claps, Overhead Claps, Willie Mayes Hayes

The Workout: Today we followed the dice. Always a fun time (in my opinion at least) because you get to go on a field trip and you never know what you’ll get. Somehow, bear crawls, balls to the wall and absolutions showed up on the dice as well. Weird. About 1.75 miles and a bunch of merkins, side stradle hops and lunges in between.

Mary: LBCs, WWIIs, Homer-to-Marge, Poop Eaters, a bit of stretching

Announcements: Beer ruck on Saturday starting at 12, Spring Classic on Saturday (if you’re not running, help at an aid station)
