24 PAX learned to love their burpees this morning at #TheHogg for a total body beatdown that included 1 DR and 1 FNG. Men certainly got stronger today.
YHC will start off by saying that in the spirit of “tapering” our physical efforts to be at maximum capacity for the Spartan Race this Sunday (see Announcements below), YHC figured the best course of action was not to #fartsack, but to dive head first into a pile of burpees. What’s a 30-burpee penalty in a Spartan Race after you’ve knocked out 155 burpees during a normal Thursday WO??? YHC also thinks this beatdown will serve all PAX well in the pending GrowRuck event, and, well, life in general. #MenGotBetterToday

The Thang
Mosey from the Shovel Flags around the picnic benches and swings to give the PAX an idea of the course for the next set of fun.
Burpee Mile
- PAX line up along the ditch and count off 1s and 2s to split the group in half
- 1s run loop around the Hogg Triangle (as YHC will name it pending any better ideas from the PAX)
- 2s do burpees x20 OYO
- RnR until all PAX have completed 100x burpees and 5x laps around the Triangle
- Some extra credit from a few extra laps to those who finished early
Bearpees
- PAX line up along the opposite ditch #mixthingsup
- 10x burpees OYO then bear crawl across the field to the other side
- RnR burpees at each side, decreasing reps x1 each time for a total of 55x burpees and 10x bear crawls
- Q modify to duck walk then again to run rather than bear crawl as time was running short, but all PAX completed this painful test #tclaps
CountORama and NameORama
24 PAX, with 1 FNG and 1 DR #ABH
Welcome to FNG Honor Roll, who quickly earned his nickname by going above and beyond with some extra credit during the burpee mile. And t’claps to Pew (DR from Shawshank in SC) for EH’ing and bring Honor Roll out.
COT
TAPs to Pew and his SIL who is trying to remain comfortable as the SkyQ approaches.
T’claps to Whiskey for taking us out and passing TAPs on to Pew’s SIL.

Today was truly a beatdown for all who took their DRP. In the spirit of “tapering” our physical efforts to be at maximum capacity for the Spartan Race this Sunday (see Announcements below), YHC figured the best course of action was not to #fartsack, but to dive head first into a pile of burpees. What’s a 30-burpee penalty in a Spartan Race after you’ve knocked out 155 burpees during a normal Thursday WO??? And YHC thinks this type of beatdown has broader benefits to all who partake. #MenGotBetterToday
Announcements
THIRSTY THIRD THURSDAY is today (May 18th), Thursday Happy Hour at Kirby Ice House. There will be a BADASS gift/gear giveaway to the first 10 PAX to arrive. And t’claps to Lil’ Papi for setting up the ALS National Fundraiser at the same time and place. Be there ready to donate to a great cause! We look forward to seeing everyone there for some 2nd F (Fellowship)!
SPARTAN RACE is this Sunday in Austin! HCs from Leprechaun, Britney, Inferno, Boring, Grunge, & Brexit (and possibly Fireball) to represent F3 Houston as we tackle obstacles and drink beer with F3 San Antonio and F3 Dallas PAX. #wishusluck “Some people ask why, we ask why not?!!” – F3 Duggar of the Land of Houston
GrowRuck 03 in New Orleans June 9-11 combines F3 Grow School with a GoRuck Tough. Have no doubt, this will be a transformative event for the PAX that do it, as well as for F3 Houston and F3 Texas. Get excited! HCs from Leprechaun (Event Q), Cruiser, Duggar, Inferno, Britney, TP, JackRabbit & Cannon. We need more from the Houston PAX. We also need drivers >>> a non-participant in the actual ruck that can drive some very tired & worn out souls back to Houston from NOLA (you’ll earn plenty of drinks on Friday, a solid beatdown Saturday AM and some great 2nd F).
F3 COMZ. Because we are only working out together 3-4 hours a week, communication between the Pax is a key way to build our Fellowship as a group. #CommunicationIsKey There are multiple ways to stay in touch… start with BAND – download here: http://band.us/n/a7a8Uek6x3Y7H.
