On a cool, overcast Saturday, 9 men came out for what was promised to as a ‘challenging’ beatdown. As college basketball kicked off this week, I could not pass up a little homage to ’40 minutes of hell’ from the 1990’s version of the Arkansas Razorbacks that I found in the F3 Library of workouts.

48 Ways to Celebrate
Today, November 6, is my 48th birthday. I've only been coming to F3 SSI for a couple of months and have avoided Q'ing my first workout - but I decided that a valiant attempt to Q my first workout would be a noble way to begin my 49th year of life on this rock. Although [...]
The ship came in … with Bicycles
A damp start to the week at Jailbreak where four brothers met for a robust start to the day, punching the sad clown in his big red nose. This is how it went down - The Warm Up Mosey to the end of the pier 15 SSH IC 15 LBAC forward IC 15 LBAC backwards [...]
WOD a Fantastic Morning For A Beatdown
The weather this morning was such a welcome change…at least for YHC, presumably the heaviest member of the SSI PAX. And it was a great day to sharpen some iron. I’ve watched a few Netflix documentaries lately about these die-hard CrossFitters who train to compete in the CrossFit games and the ones I watched were [...]

First Day of Fall (S GA Style)
An autumn-like 72 degrees yielded mumblechatter about enjoying the first day of 'Fall' in the gloom on this Thursday gathering.

That’s Not a Tempo Squat
The Dawn patrol was 9 strong today with 1 FNG (so that makes 10). Following a wonderful disclaimer and superior instructions to modify as necessary I ran full speed into the darkness and unknown. But a HIM follows Foundation #5 - Preparedness - getting ready for the expected while being ready for the unexpected. I [...]
The man in the Arena
The magnificant seven showed up in the gloom neither and became the man in the arena. Quick COP: 10 Burpees OYO, 20 side straddle hops IC, 10 Windmills, 10 Temp squats, 20 Little Baby Cruches. Tha Thang..... The PAX Mosey’ed to the halfshell stairs, where we started our first of 3 rounds of DORA. During [...]
Bundy, 42
Eight PAX were there this morning in the gloom to (unbeknownst to them) celebrate my 42nd year on this pebble by putting in some hard work with heavy things. And we even did a little running…. During the beatdown, I treated the PAX to a playlist of songs that came out in the year of [...]
