The PAX arrived to an abnormally smaller group and had to be wondering what what is in store for them with so many QICs missing while away at ManCamp, errrr, GoRuck simulation. They quickly remembered The Thang from a week and a half a go, but with a few new twists. Disclaimer One FNG …
Some of the PAX have decided to try to partake in this growing rivalry between River Bluff Gators and the Lexington Wildcats. We are trying to put together an annual F3 tailgate with all F3 PAX and their M’s and 2.0’s for this game between these two schools. Let’s put on some F3 swag …
31 Pax enter the gloom of the Graveyard to endure some painful partner exercises. Some pax were asking YHC if burpees would be involved during the Q due to YHC’s recent fondness of burpees. They got the answer they wanted, which was no. However, YHC had other ways to bring the pain. On a side …

34 Pax (1 FNG) who weren’t completing the Mud Run converged at Graveyard to help YHC celebrate his born day. YHC had plenty of party favors to share with the pax. These tasty party flavors came in squat, burpee, and flutter kick flavors with a delicious pain filling in the middle. Initially YHC had intended …
18 PAX came out for a pre-MudRun beatdown courtesy of the Reaper. The Reaper was looking for blood as YHC was cut by the intimidating Scythe Flag, but hey that was just weakness leaving the body. No more blood after that, but plenty of grunting, huffing, puffing, and heavy doses of pain. The Thang: Stadium: …
21 PAX posted at #Graveyard for a full body and major CORE workout. The YHC had plans of a busy beatdown of legs first, CORE second, ARMs third, and another healthy dose of more CORE. YHC was proud of the Graveyard crew to endure what seemed to be the Q that never ended. Conditions: 73 …

Anywhere from 29-33 Pax arrived for the Tuesday edition of Graveyard on a cool, humid morning. YHC realized expectations for Graveyard were high after last week’s inside tour of the Taj Mahal (better known as River Bluff High School) with Lt. Dan, the PT test with Brokestrong, and carrying telephone poles courtesy of PYT! No …
24 PAX’s showed up Saturday morning not knowing what to expect when YHC started putting them in height order before we began the morning workout. Needless to say they realized real quick what was in store once they saw the PT Logs laid out before them on the practice field. Conditions: Perfect for a little …
It was a perfect 66 degrees as the PAX started out this A.M. with a mission to complete the monthly PT test of merkins and sit-ups, then hit it hard. A mild discussion about adding a 1 mile or 2 mile run to the mix was tabled for future consideration. Welcome, disclaimer, prayer. count off …
42 Pax got out of the #Fartsack this morning to be met by the fearless leader of RBHS, our own Lt. Dan. Our Q for today has 1 thing that none of the other PAX have . . . . KEYS . . .Keys to the entire facility. The keys and some creativity lead to …
27 pax including one FNG entered the gloom of the #Graveyard in what seemed to be pure humidity. YHC had a general idea of what he wanted to accomplish during this Q but didn’t plan it out and just winged it. YHC needed practice doing proper 6-count burpees and figured there was no better group …

40 Pax strolled into the gloom this morning to be met by Good Hands with his demented plan for pain on this 9/11 Thursday. It was almost as if he wanted to give the Pax a glimpse into tomorrow’s Reaper run round 2. YHC was glad to see so many FNG’s as well as a …
33 Pax, including 1 FNG (Giggles), braved the Graveyad Stadium for Just Another Workout. Is has been a while since YHC has had the opportunity to lead the men of Graveyard (so many Qs, so few openings…) The Pax were at first confused by the running route and accused YHC for making it up as I …
23 Pax including two FNG’s entered the Graveyard on a humid yet glorious end to what some had deemed hell week due to the QIC’s and the unveiling of ‘The Reaper’. Some Pax where a little worried when burpees where mentioned during the disclaimer…and maybe rightfully so as YHC had thrown a “few” burpees into the …

33 Pax arrived at Graveyard in what turned out to be a completely random workout by YHC. Mumblechatter was plentiful then slowly faded away as most Pax including YHC couldn’t seem to find any AIR in a somewhat HUMID stadium. That being said I would dare to venture that we all lost about 5lbs of …
All mornings in the gloom are great but some are just more special than others. Today, we welcomed back to the gloom our brother Nail Pop. If you’re reading this, you know why Andy has been absent. His son Walker has been in hospitals in Columbia, Memphis and now Atlanta fighting for his life. Walker …
The mission of F3 is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of male community leadership. It’s always good to reflect on a mission statement before you take action.

21 Pax entered the Gloom on this holiday weekend for a little College Gameday action by Rash (VQ) and Clipboard. Spirits were high until we got part way into the what seemed like a 42 mile warmup lap. The “Warmup” ended at the block pile where some pax (not naming any names) decided to opt …
After offering up a prayer asking GOD to lead our mighty GameCocks to victory, 32 PAX braved chilly temps, 63 degrees, to spend 45 minutes on the field of battle. The Thang, take a lap, 20 SSH, 20 TTT, 20 IW, 20 little arm circles, 20 LBC’s. Count of 1’s and 2’s. 1’s hit the …
YHC and 34 PAX (3 FNGs) arrived at the Graveyard depending on PYT’s neon pink tanktop to provide the primary lighting on the field so the Weinke could be read. Several others were also disappointed that his UA delayed the debut of his magic weight vest which was being used the night prior to as …
89 Pax posted at #Crypt for a light-on-the-legs convergence. Some came because #Crypt is home, others because it was a Lexington Convergence, still others because it was the 1st half of a double-down w/ the inaugural Stomp the Swamp 5k immediately following. All were toast by the end of the hour. Conditions: 80 & 80% …
CONDITIONS: 75 degrees Is it possible?? An AO w/ no untimely sprinklers, no black pellets, no man eating weeds AND a Stairway of Pain (roughly 85 stairs)?

19 Pax showed up for a loop around RBHS today with several stops for some fun. With a birthday looming, YHC decided to push the limits this morning and give the Pax a little more than they bargained for to see if his old frame could hold up to the abuse. Stopping by the Tennis …
Clipboard welcomed 35 Pax including 2 FNGs (Whisper and Sling Blade) to his Graveyard VQ for what started out as a walk in the park and turned into Reaper Style slaying. The Hide-A-Key was missing and panic set in as Clipboard was calling an audible of Cemetary Hill Burpie-Merkin suicides, but Lt Dan came to …
This is the first annual Stomp the Swamp 5K race to benefit the River Bluff High School Cross Country teams. River Bluff has been VERY generous in allowing F3 to use many of their facilities. Crypt, Graveyard, and Stride meet there during the week. Let’s say THANKS in a huge way! Since the announcement was …
35 Faithful Pax Posted to Graveyard for a PYT Shoulder Extravaganza, and they were not disappointed. Mumble Chatter was a little low with the tough demands of the Q and no Blindside to be seen anywhere. Perhaps the Unicorn & Rainbow Reaper found his Turning Point before making it to the Graveyard, or perhaps he …

Big numbers rolled into the Graveyard this morning to meet a Q eager to inflict pain on the Pax. Paying tribute to his brother serving active duty in the military, Tumbler decided to take the Pax through a modified Murph workout.
