The Weekly Q Point relayed on the 1st F channel yesterday by Saigon Sam – namely, “Positive Habit Transfer: Ingraining Advantageous Tendencies in Others” – struck a chord. Indulge me in a bit of table-setting as I explain how… Our son, Jesse, graduated from Bates College in Maine two weekends ago. He’s got a lot […]
Another great day out at the farm. We knocked out a warm-up featuring an extended “do not recover” series of shoulder warm-ups (very popular) and a little broga (lot of moans on those stretches). We then cranked through a half-hour of dora, and finished up on the hardcourt with some relays and a game of […]
With the threat of 100 burpees hanging over their heads if they didn’t bring in articles of winter clothing to donate to Trinity Rescue Mission, the HN pax responded BIG TIME. In particular, Valdez (who mysteriously appeared during the COT), D-Day, Prunetang and Check Please really emptied the closets to give to TRM. Mission accomplished! […]
With basketball season underway – and with it, no need to never, ever discuss the 2021 gridiron campaign of the Florida Gators – we turned to a coach whose record is unmatched in the history of men’s college basketball for a little inspiration and to answer the question – what does it take to be […]
We opened with a quick review of the core value of the month — Freedom. Quote: “Freedom consists not of doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.” — Pope John Paul II Phrase: We honor our freedom to assemble peacefully without prosecution, by always honoring those who sacrifice […]

At the time, which is to say in the beginning, which for YHC was in August of 2017, it seemed oh so peculiar… a group of men with names like Full Monty, gathered together under the cover of darkness, doing exercises with names such as Monkey Humpers and Pickle Pounders… “It’s F3!” McDreamy said. “Try […]
The sad news this week of the loss of Dollar Bill’s father stirred some memories in YHC. It was almost nine years ago to the day that my father passed, and a hard-to-believe 34 years since the death of my wife’s father. As DB noted, death comes fast, and sometimes suddenly as well. My father-in-law […]
We worked: * Warm-up exercises * A little moseying * Tabata core * Weight work We named three FNGs: * Ground * Lu-Kane * Cop Buster We reviewed John, Chapter 4: * Love one another. That’s one YHC would do well to remember at the start of each day. Dismiss the pettiness, the stupidity, the […]
In the week leading up to Memorial Day, I reached out to some friends who were veterans of the Navy and the Marines. I was hoping they’d know how F3 could help a vet or a family that had lost someone in service of the country. They made some calls, but nothing surfaced. Saigon Sam […]
