Might Be a First in F3: How One Little FNG Bested Us
All All MECA BackblastsDecember 29th, 2015
All F3 veterans know that FNGs that try to name themselves open themselves up to the rath of the pax, and receive some of the worst names the pax can devise, i.e Banana Hammock, Assless Chaps, etc. (Chime in if you know any worse ones.) However one FNG managed to defy the pax and name himself this A.M. Before YHC reveals how he accomplished this feat, here’s how we got there:
5 pax gathered in the #gloom to make their #downpainment in the rain. YHC decided to break out coupons again and find some shelter. But first:
Warmup
Taking turns carrying a 25lb kettlebell, a 6 brick package, and a 4 brick package, mosey around the big parking lot and over to the puddle-ridden playground.
- Pax without a coupon do AMRAP Pull Ups. Pax with a coupon do Overhead Press until pull-up pax finish. Rotate until all pax have done pull ups.
Mosey over to the covered entrance to the church.
- SSH x20
- Windmill x10
The Thang
Pax complete a circuit of exercises, rotating to another station each minute. AMRAP for 40 secs. on and 20 secs. off.
Round one:
- Overhead 6 Brick Press
- Merkin
- Kettlebell Curl
- 4 Brick Air Squats
- LBC
- Repeat circuit.
Round two:
- 6 Brick Chest Press
- Mountain Climbers
- Kettlebell Upright Row
- 4 Brick Tricep Extensions
- Oblique Crunch
- Repeat circuit.
Eight line Suicides. Repeato.

Mosey back to the cars.
COT
So, we did the normal counterama and namerama, and then it was time to name our FNG, who hung in there with us throughout the whole workout. Since our FNG was a 2.0, YHC handed over naming rights to his father, Brutus. Now, YHC can’t really remember the name that Brutus came up with for his 2.0, and it doesn’t really matter at this point, but it was pretty cool. In fact it was a name that most 2.0s would be proud to have. But not this 2.0. Upon hearing this really cool name, and the pax confirmation of it, 2.0 promptly blurted out,”You should call me Fart Pants.” We all paused then YHC asked if he really wanted that name. Surprisingly he said, “Yes.” And with that, the pax confirmed the name. It was the first time YHC had ever witnessed a pax successfully name himself (chime in if you know another), but YHC told him we probably couldn’t come up with anything worse.
Moleskin
- Well, it wasn’t the most exciting workout, but it got the job done and left us relatively dry. YHC miscalculated with the detour to the playground for pull ups and we got caught in a quick downpour.
- The Namerama episode was certainly a surprise, and a welcome bit of amusement. Welcome, Fart Pants! Hope to see you out again soon.
Peace,
Deuce
