MOLESKIN:
Lord thank you for this day, thank you for these men. YHC was honored to get to lead the workout again this morning, and was grateful that so many PAX posted. Though YHC was still alone at 5:29, these 9 other men had joined by 2 minutes later. Timing was comedic.
The warm-up included a watermelon-picker tribute to Aaarrrggghhh. PAX heard an audible “yesss” when it was announced.
On the first attempted exercise YHC tried an “exercise song” a la Pepper (Chumbawamba) and/or Icebox (‘I Don’t Get Tired’). Unfortunately, PAX could not hear the music so it was abandoned.
It was darn cold and windy this morning, props to F150, Oatmeal, Pow, Rump, and Shifty for the outdoor exposure. AlrightAlright, Draper, Sex Panther, and YHC were the #GarageCrew.
EASTER routine felt pretty challenging. YHC doesn’t remember coupons nearly ever feeling as heavy as during Elf on a Shelf. T-merkins on the block also left a mark, both mentally and physically. Lots of mumblechatter about it, but YHC believes still 0 curses from Rump Roast. Perhaps Shifty influences Rump to #Advantage.
YHC believes the best mumblechatter joke today was the hiney.
Virtual Qs take some getting used to with the lag time, but as one PAX put it, they also help the Q to be “concise and precise.” Something we all can probably get better at.
Again, thank you to the PAX. Let’s keep up the great attendance. Prayed for guidance to be #ServantLeaders wherever we can be today. Our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and broader communities all need us and would benefit from our leadership.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. If you have extra medical supplies or know where to find some, please let Draper or PowPow know.
2. Happy Hour Saturday – only 4 days away!!

Great start to the weekend. Thank you, gentlemen, for posting and pushing YHC and each other mentally and physically.
Workout purposefully included constant movement to incorporate cardio even though stationary. It hit pretty much every muscle group, hopefully was a balanced workout.
T-claps to Greenspan for I believe his first virtual beatdown. He caught on very quickly. Rump and Shifty crushed the tag-team as always; t-claps to Rump for getting him out there and to Shifty b/c in 5 years he is going to be scary strong.
Patriotic Pow showed off the American flag board shorts, and (bonus!) gave the PAX a nice close-up. Oatmeal got his iPad working beautifully and Draper and YHC were the garage / hot box crew.
Thank you again men. Hopeful to see many PAX at the happy hour tonight.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Fitness Test Circuit – All exercises OYO
After completing the above circuit, PAX partnered up to tackle the circuit Dora-style. The partner doing the “running” completes 10 single count side-straddle hops, then partners flapjack. The Dora circuit was:
Burpees > Calf Raises > Ski Abs > Merkins > Squats & LBCs. Same rep count as above.
Then switch back to OYO Circuit where Dora Circuit left off:
Carolina Dry Dock > American Hammer > Nipplers > Burpees > Calf Raises > Ski Abs > Merkins > Squats > LBCs > Carolina Dry Dock > American Hammer > Nipplers. Same rep count, Nipplers cut short for time.

YHC shared what it has meant to him to be part of F3 DFW for the past year. Thank you to the PAX for everything they do to support each other and the community, accelerate F3 DFW and give it away. Thank you to Oatmeal for the EH.
MOLESKIN:
It was YHC’s one-year anniversary with F3 and VVQ (Virgin Virtual Q). Since YHC’s first post was the Q2 2019 Fitness Test, we paid homage with a fitness test circuit. Not sure why I decided to only go to Mountain Climbers when planning the workout.
Shifty took an extended bathroom break during the workout, leaving Rump Roast to do most of the Dora workout without a partner. Dora is tough over video call, it would have worked better if the partner doing the exercise just has to complete a pre-determined number of reps while the “running” partner performs AMRAP of an exercise that lets them keep eyes on the screen (SSH, IST, OH Claps). That way the exercising partner can complete the assigned reps and just start doing SSH and the other partner will see this and know when to switch. No verbal communication needed.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Alright Alright is Q’ing a workout for Fort Worth on Wednesday. Draper has the regular Q that day and will likely converge with Fort Worth.
2. Don’t forget Special Sauce’s daily challenge from Saturday – reach out to someone! Do it today and then reach out to someone else tomorrow!
Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
F3 Dallas Nantan Oatmeal’s Response
Brothers, the day has come that I had hoped would not get here. Monday, March 23, at midnight, we will be forced to shelter at home in Dallas County. This means beginning Tuesday we will either continue accelerating virtually or sink back into being Sad Clowns when we can least afford to be.
It is now that we will need to be leaders of our families and ourselves. Staying strong and leading by example. I will encourage you all to join the virtual workouts that we will hold daily from the confines of your house/yard or garage. Ultra has graciously volunteered his video collaboration site. also implore you all to step up and Q a workout during this time. Consistency in routine will be paramount now that we are confined to our homes for the foreseeable future. It will be very easy to backslide, but I, along with the other PAX are counting on your accountability!
We must continue to accelerate in all three F’s while apart, and do not hesitate to reach out to your fellow PAX. We need each other more than ever as these are truly uncertain times. Suggest a Zoom meetup, text a fellow PAX, post your idea to help out in the community! #isolatedbutnotseparated #coronavirus #isi
I look forward to seeing you all in person again in the Gloom very soon! In the meantime, I’ll see you online and if you have any questions, please contact me.

MOLESKIN:
5 PAX (1 FNG) braved the wet, and cold, as well as COVID 19 fears, to join YHC this gloom. Alright Alright was quick to question YHC’s clothing choice of the EY sweater (sans smell) and leggings. YHC gets cold rather easily and was prepared for the mid 50 temps. YHC did ditch the sweater at some point and probably would’ve been fine without the leggings as well.
Not much other mumble chatter, though Plus One did appreciate doing his signature Del Brown exercises while he was in attendance. Several instances of “the what?!” after each time YHC mentioned to go/mosey/find a bench. Not sure if that joke will every die.
ANNOUNCEMENTS:
1. Vote for the F3 Golf Outing (assuming COVID 19 doesn’t wipe out the world)
2. Practice safe techniques to ward off and prevent the spread of COVID 19
Our mission is to plant, grow and serve small workout groups for men for the invigoration of male community leadership.
As we continue into uncharted waters, I want to reiterate that first, we take care of ourselves. You are no good to your family, co-workers or community if you are sick. We need to have a healthy respect for this virus, but not let the mumblechatter (chatter) from the media, social media and others allow us to descend into the depths of panic and paralyzing fear. As HIM (high impact men) this is the time we rise up and lead those around us while staying safe!
Regarding workouts, we will continue to practice distancing from other PAX, and I charge each Q with helping maintain 3′-6′ distance between PAX throughout the workout, but it is up to each man to be self-aware. Given this, partner exercises requiring physical contact are prohibited. Refrain from high-fives and hand shakes. Please do not share equipment and this will include coupons (weights)!
Please stay away from workouts and others if you are running a fever with coughing and sneezing. This is the standard in normal times.
If you are coughing, sneezing or “leaking respiratory juices,” as was so eloquently described recently, but otherwise feel fine, use your judgment in coming to workouts, but please keep your distance from the other PAX.
When it comes to attending workouts for any reason use your judgment. If you do not feel comfortable working out with the group, do not feel obligated. There should be no shame for making the personal choice
Finally, if you believe you you have been exposed to Covid-19, please quarantine yourself appropriately to reduce the chances you spread to others, even if you feel perfectly healthy. It may be others that you expose that face the worst of this virus! I would also ask that you inform me if test positive so that I may relay the information to the other PAX so that we may take appropriate measures.
If you have any other concerns, please let me know. These are uncertain times, but we will persevere! If circumstances change that require further modification to our workout schedule, I will let you all know.

Sorry for the late backblast bruddas. Work has been a little, uh, volatile.
This was YHC’s first Q of the New Year. Happy to be back at it.
Having been focused on #Strength lately, YHC wanted to use the great opportunity of a Tuesday coup day to really set the PAX up for some strength gains.
YHC was reminded that this glorious day was to be Fat Tuesday, and as such pondered an appropriate Mardi Gras theme. After writing off KING CAKE and FAT T’s, YHC decided it would suffice to use ‘GRAS’. Oh yah.
And out came the painful DORA you see above. YHC swears he tries to think about exercise counting when constructing his Q’s, but this would evidence otherwise. The Groiners, Rosalita Presses, and Apollo Oh-no’s were good exercises. All hit different and rarely-used parts of the body, too. The step-ups, however, quickly brought the realization that 150 reps of a 4-count exercise was going to suck.
And suck it did.
But all PAX pushed through. Took some serious mental and physical (aren’t they the same?) toughness, but probably added 1/2 inch to each of our thighs. #WorthIt, YHC envisions the PAX would say.
As always, thank you to the men who posted. It’s a privilege and opportunity to lead.
Apologizes, YHC doesn’t remember much mumblechatter. YHC did get some crap (he remembers one in particular – ‘What, so the goal was to get the PAX so sore nobody comes out the rest of the week?!’).
Stay healthy out there fellas. Practice that sweet Millennial “self-care” – eat well, wash your hands, get enough rest, and focus on the things that matter.

YHC prayed us out
MOLESKIN:
YHC pulled in at 0525 after having enjoyed an extra 15 min of sleep and a shorter commute with the move back to civilization (read south of 635). YHC was greeted by what sounded like a reason for why Alright Alright missed Monday’s beatdown. Apparently, we may need a second F event where Plus One is our bartender as his margs led to the missed workout.
Some criticism from the PAX during the warm up as YHC mistakenly said that ISTs are standing curls as opposed to standing sit ups (YHC has curls on the mind for his girl/future M), then YHC was again laughed at for the apparent twang when saying “Windmill” (YHC has always had a different way of saying i’s, like in pillow). Regardless, the warmup was done and we transitioned to the 5x4x5.
The naming convention for this popular workout was discussion topic during it, as several PAX were unsure of how many sets to do. YHC has always thought it was reps x # of exercises x rounds, but YHC is flexible. The confusion was only a preview of what was to come.
YHC led the PAX to the football field for the 4 man weave, which after an explanation and demonstration, led to some expected confusion on who was to relieve whom (who? YHC can never get these right). After a few minutes, it appeared as though the PAX finally got the rotation down. Alright Alright’s group must have taken after him the night prior as there was some difficulty with crawling/crab walking in a straight line.
Once done, YHC felt like there was too much mumblechatter going on and decided to initiate burpee silence with 12 burpees which quickly quieted the PAX.
Just enough time for some Mary before we named Tatanka (it was either that or something related to bears I think?) and the discussion over spelling started. Ultra and YHC liked the Lafawnduh style spelling “Ta-tawn-kuh”, but Pow Pow found the proper spelling. Overall a good time in the gloom and the 4 man weave will definitely be making another appearance. I may make it a goal to keep increasing the weave by 1 with ultimate goal of a full PAX weave.
