Thirty-three, yes 33, grateful men from far and wide converged on NoToll for an annual party disguised as a beatdown. Cars were rolling in early and often filling up the parking lot and almost leaving no space for Fresh Prince to park when he showed up at his normal 5:32 time. I don’t know how you could leave the AO this morning after that showing without an extra boost of energy to get your day started.
Warm up with 12 Helicopters, SSH and IWs then on to the main show.
Going back to the original 12 days and YHC’s VQ for the first few exercises with a couple modifications thrown in for space and fun.
1 – Dozen LBCs
2 – Sprints across the field (just there and back)
3 – Diamond Merkins
4 – Imperial Squat Walkers (could have used some instruction but you vs you)
5 – Burpees!
6 – Dips (bench space was scarce)
7 – 2 count lunges
8 – Hand release merkins (modified from decline merkins)
9 – American hammers IC
10 – Flutter Kicks
11 – Crunchy Frogs (a Rosie Favorite)
12 – Crowd pleasing Broad Jump Burpees
Amazingly this group of studs blew through the 12 days leaving some time for a ring of fire and 4 minutes of Mary.
What an amazing morning, it’s been a while since I’ve been to an F3 workout with that kind of excitement. I am always grateful for what I have been given but especially this time of year. It’s been a rough year for many, my family included, but there were many things to be grateful for today.
Thanks to Tryhard for bringing the Spiked Eggnog and Coffee for the post workout parking lot; Thanks to Corned Beef and Hardywood for making the longest treks to NoToll; Thanks to Bodos for taking us out with his words of wisdom (sorry we didn’t have a lectern to bust up); Thanks to Bleeder for showing up to a bootcamp; Thanks to the 12 days first timers; thanks to the New Market crew for showing up and bringing some of their new guys; Thanks to EF Hutton for posting to all but 1 of the 7 installations of the 12 days; thanks to our guest star, Toga, returning from Nashville; Thanks to those that are injured for showing up and pushing through anyway; Thanks for Big Blue in the parking lot early; Thanks for the sing along this morning; and finally thanks to the 33 men coming out this morning and brightening each others day.
Everything is coming up Rosie.

Dang Rosie, your knee may not be 100%, but your memory is firing on all cylinders to get all 33 names.
Now it is officially Christmas.
Always enjoy the ole 12 days of Christmas Rosie great job!
I tell ya what though being back at No toll and seeing some dudes I don’t have the privilege to see as much as I use to was freaken awesome. No better way to get the day started !
Way to work guys…
so much fun! Thanks Rosie for leading. You must have drawn on the hive mind to recall all those names
Great workout Rosie, thanks for leading. This was my first 12 days, but really enjoyed it. Loved to see the numbers and getting to meet so many more of you all. Appreciate it fellas, happy holidays and stay strong ?
What a blast! Thanks for the Q Rosie. Awesome seeing so many PAX today. MERRY CHRISTMAS YA FILTHY ANIMALS!
Rosie! I have this circled on the calendar starting in July. Great job as always. My cup was filled seeing all the guys the morning. I don’t know if it was that or the eggnog, but man what a day! Let’s do more of this!
That was awesome, period. So good to see so many faces, so good. I agree with Hardywood, we need more of this. Well done, Rosie! Easily one of my favorite traditions.
Rosie, your 12 days of Christmas boot camp is a classic and well worth the trip! Seeing some brothers that I have not seen in awhile, meeting some new guys, enjoying eggnog and coffee from Tryhard was great. You have to be pumped, Rosie, with this awesome brotherhood! Take advice from Hardywood and mark your calendar for next year as you know it is worth waking up for and experiencing. Here is to a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Gents. Cheers and blessings…CB!
Rosie,
It’s always fun to experience 12 days of XMas F3 style!
Thanks for taking the reigns on it!
