Introduction
It’s the first ever Q School at the Forge! Many teasers have been teased. What’s a Triple Lindy? What do the Clampetts have to do with F3? Some nerd Star Wars joke… Let’s find out!
Warm-O-Rama
Prior to a short mosey, YHC discussed the mission and core principles of F3. The PAX knew all 5 principles, so the punishment burpees were avoided…for now.
Mosey down to the lower lot where Professor Drafty Kilt is in charge of the warmup. Counting cadence was discussed, the disclaimer, warm up the muscles you are about the work, etc. Students were called upon to lead a warmup exercise – Pebble, Neo, Gentleman all performed well in front of the class (based on the guns flashed in end of BD picture, I vote to change his name to THE Pebble).
Homeroom is over. Class change to Professor Gadget. Back to our lockers to get some props.
The Thang
Professor Gadget grabs his gadgets and instructs the students to meet him at the big field.
The dice are rolled and exercises are performed.
Once the PAX have learned about the dice, we move to the 5 points. Maybe the dice will roll to our favor there.
They do not. More exercises are performed and we head back to our lockers to get the appropriate books for next period – kettlebells with Professor Rapid Fire. The good news is that Dr. Seuss showed up for some motivational hip hop.
PAX meets outside of QT’s office and we do things that we’ve never heard of before. Well, we’ve heard of them, just not put together like this. Like pizza ice cream. Or a steak smoothie. Plank rows with a KB. Leg throw downs. Crab lunges. Reverse BBSU on the wall. Aussie KB swings. YHC is not sure what he actually did, but the muscle soreness already confirms that something was definitely done.
3rd period is over and the KBs are dropped off in our lockers. The one thing missing from this BD is….burpees! PAX lines up in two lines, side by side for a burpee Indian run. The PAX at the back of the line must perform 3 burpees before heading to the front of the line. PAX wanders around the parking lot and back to the locker room right at 6:15.
Circle of Trust
YHC pointed out that it doesn’t take much to be the Q and lead a beatdown. Put your name on the calendar, and you can do whatever you want. Make it weird and crazy. Flip some cards or roll some dice. Plan it out, or leave it up to chance. The big picture is that we have to lead ourselves before we can lead our community.

Use the F3nation website for ideas (first/VQ or the exicon). Use F3WestCobb website for idea from previous BDs and steal from the backblasts. Take a picture. Do a backblast. It’s easy!
