by Funny car. I’ll take it for a 56 year old PAX who had open heart surgery almost 11 months ago. My heart surgeon said it would take up to a year for the breastbone to fully heal. It handled Meatloaf’s Massacre okay. The Bruin was my spotter.
Currently watching my daughters at U-11 travel soccer match.
I haven’t seen this many “grown ups” upset about an athletic competition that doesn’t really mean anything in at least 24 hours.
And. Here. We. Go.
It’s time boys - your first installment of 2019 IronPaxChallenge.
REMINDER - Week 0 is only a WarmUp week to show the logistics of how each week will flow and to pressure test the scoring input system.
2019 Iron PAX Challenge Week 0
**WEEK 3 ANNOUNCEMENT**
Worried about time? Stress not...
“Meter’s 43” will fit nicely into a standard 45 minute bootcamp and even leave one minute each for warmup and COT.
Please read instructions below and see link to video.
Great work guys!
Biggio and Bagwell? Brunzell and Blair? Nope, the real Killer B’s makes its debut for IronPaxChallenge Week 1 - any questions tweet us or DM

#tclaps
to all of the men who participated in the 1st ever IronPaxChallenge - we look forward to growing the event
Just had a PAX reach out to us on DM and revise his Week 2 score down. He realized he completed with a 28lb block on his first attempt and repeated the workout with an appropriate sized block.
Nice to see PAX doing the right thing.
Well done.
**Patches**
Several have asked so we will put it out there. How many of you IPC participants would be interested in a 2020 patch?
@JuggernautF3
did a superb job last year and with enough interest will likely do a 2020 version. Please "like" this tweet if you are a patch guy.
I personally proctored a PAX who went 17:16 this morning. No doubt every rep was "good".
We've said all along the breadth and depth of the athletes in
@F3Nation
will be on full display during IPC.
These times are awesome and it's quite humbling.
"Always someone better."
The IPC on-site reporter from
@f310year
said that the IPC Challenge was a burn burner to the end with only 20 seconds separating the champ from the runner-up. Congrats to DreamCatcher
@f3hamptonroads
on taking home the crown.
@F3Nation
3 years ago, I was 50 pounds overweight with skinny arms and a big belly, and I could barely do 10 pushups. This morning, I completed
@F3IronPax
week 3. 300 pushups, 250 squats, and over 3 miles of running.
**Week 2 Announcement**
The IPC Workout Committee is going to try to stump you with Week 2's puzzling workout.
That said, they invite you to come play "Wheel of Misfortune"
*apologies in advance for length of video*
**Week 1 Workout**
I was out dominating the crane machine and go carts at Frankie’s Fun Park with my wife and 4 kids while some of you were bitching about the workout being released. Priorities gentlemen.
So stop your whining. Revenge of the Bunnies.
**WEEK 4 ANNOUNCEMENT**
Health officials warn that Sugar is today’s new Poison. Well, let’s see if they are right.
“Sugar’s Pick Your Poison” is upon us.
See instructions below and follow link to watch video for explanations on form and rep count.
**Week 0 Teaser**
You will need:
-a coupon, 35 lbs minimum
-100’ measured, not estimated, in a straight line. Flat is your friend
-to avoid dairy 24-48 hours prior
Want to give a quick shout out to some folks.
Thus far we have just around 1,000 men who have submitted scores for week 1.
27 of those men were man enough to enter a time of 2:00:00 bc they either modified or DNF in time allotted.
T-claps to each and every one of you.
17 pax from
@F3Greenwood
took on week 2 of
@F3IronPax
.
Fastest time of 34:12 which was impressive to witness.
Everyone got better, pushed their limits, and encouraged their brothers in the gloom.
I’m tired from serving as proctor.
Great work.
#aftermath
**Week 3 Teaser**
After a near mutiny from the skinny runner type pax thus far, Week 3 will appease the short short wearing guys with some accumulated distance traveled.
No accessories/apparatus will be needed.
*WEEK 2 ANNOUNCEMENT*
We hope you like Meatloaf because his Massacre is about to eat you up.
Please see instructions below (and follow them) as well as video linked below.
Most importantly: have fun and push yourself. Great work so far.
@F3_Meatloaf
We appreciate the hard work and passion from ALL men of
@F3Nation
. Even the disgruntled ones.
We are all in this together and to get better at life. The IPC was just another mechanism to help us accelerate.
Keep grinding gentlemen.

@F3Greenwood
now holds a special (and maybe somewhat hated) place in the hearts of many men across The Nation.
Their invention of the
@F3IronPax

We salute you.
#TCeps
Our Nantan wrote a pre-blast for IPC 2021. It will be the only touchy feely post from this handle regarding IPC.
Get signed up or don’t, we really don’t care.
It will be hard, might be fun, we might call you out, you might get offended, we still don’t care.
Piss excellence.
**Week 3 Teaser**
I've been consulting with the IPC workout committee and have confirmed they plan to K.I.S.S. (keep it simple stupid) for Week 3 after the complexity associated with Week 2.
Need 400 meters measured again and your best pair of short shorts.
I somehow wish all 3,000 of you IPC participants could have been in my bathroom just now to witness the amount of grass clippings that fell from my ass-crack.
Week 1 is HERE! Complete the following workout sometime during this week and make sure to post your score at
***Full workout synopsis with video explanations to post later today***
***Week 1 Teaser***
Work will be stationary.
There is an EMOM component. That said, it is recommended to have an APP ready on a separate phone. ("SmartWOD Timer" or "Seconds" apps will work.)
Music? Use a different phone.
Best to have a noncompeting proctor at each AO.
**IMPORTANT**
By sheer coincidence, we gave
@F3ShakeNBake
from
@F3LexSC
at shout-out in the Week 3 video yesterday. We've bumped into him a few times at various events/CSAUPs. That said, we knew he was a HIM and thus the shout out.
And then this pops up a few hours later...
Sorry for the delay. Full write-up with modifications is coming. But below is an image of this week’s workout. It is a for time workout. Workout is courtesy of
@F3Indianapolis
New to the IPC? Here's what you need to know:

**Week 2 NEW LEADER ALERT**
Twitterless "Coach" from
@F3StLouis
posts a blistering time of 24:27 for week 2. (Proctored and time confirmed by Maroon
@F3WashMO
)
Wowzers!
IPC dropping week 4: “…AND THEN ONCE YOU TRAVERSE THE MONKEY BARS YOU’RE GOING TO GRAB YOUR COUPON WHICH AT THIS POINT HAS BEEN LIT ON FIRE AND YOU’RE GOING TO PERFORM A MILLION JUMPING AMERICAN VASECTOMIES WHILST RECITING THE CONSTITUTION AND DID YOU REMEMBER TO MEASURE OUT…”
**REMINDER**
If you attempt week 2 and DNF due to time constraints or significant modification, please enter a time of 1 hour and 30 mins even.
This will allow us to award proper participation credit for the regional competition.
Everyone deserves Tclaps for week 2
And the silver medal goes to (otherwise known as the 1st loser) .....

*Week 4 Update*
Due to youth soccer matches today and an abundance of natural light and white claws yesterday, we anticipate dropping the week 4 video late this afternoon.
Remember to tip your bartenders...
Got to give a big IPC shout-out to
@DamToDamRelay
. It's a solid event that raises money for charitable endeavors, put on by F3ers, and just so happens to end at the
#mothership

Dem doughnuts dough!
**UPDATE**
Working today to clean up duplicate submissions and to accumulate data. (We are still receiving submissions)
We will keep you posted on Week 4 and the Overall IPC champ.
Additionally, we will announce the region winner as soon as everything is sorted out.
**Week 4 Teaser**
You will once again need your Coupon/Cinder Block/CMU/whatever you call it. (Minimum 35lbs).
You will need 100 yards measured. 25 yard increments. (Obviously a football field will work nicely)
You are going to want to do this on grass.

Oops he did it again.
After realizing the error of his ways on the burpees, Twitterless Dumplin reruns the workout less than 24 hours later.
26 minutes flat. Currently good for 57th place.
#GoFilmYourself
**Week 2 Update**
GIF contest is going viral.
Oatmeal Creme Pies rule.
A lot of PAX are good at math.
That was a touchdown.
Average time: 49:49
Almost 1,500 submissions.
**Put up or Shut up**
Yes, that's right. There will be an IPC themed CSAUP option for those dumb enough to sign up.
Event(s) will be proctored by trained proctors and "no reps" will be handed out like candy on Halloween.
No more moaning, as this will settle the debate.

I love these:
"The Amateur is a man who does not arm himself with Routines."
"This makes him inconsistent and renders him un-Virtuous."
"As a result, an Amateur will only Post workout when he feels like it."
Set those routines guys. Shredtember is a good time to start.
