Return to The Tomahawk
Always enjoy being asked to Q a workout, especially The Tomahawk. It’s been a little while since I’ve Q’d there since I’ve been logging a bunch of miles for the #1000in2019 challenge. My last workout there ended up…

What State Is This Tomahawk?
A few weeks back, I agreed to Q at the old Tomahawk and somehow I agreed to Q at Mint Hill on the same day, but as I never got confirmation from my brothers in Mint Hill, Tomahawk won the day. I've learned to keep…

Frying Pan Fun
Sometime in the last couple of weeks, YHC's youngest 2.0 wanted to watch a Disney movie that I never wanted to see. I did my best to pick apart the plot holes and inconsistencies to keep myself entertained, and the…

Tomahawk 2019.05
I'm posting this a little late because I have been lacking in the discipline department lately. It's my One Word because for some reason, I knew it was going to be a hard year to stay motivated... This workout was a…

Reunion Tour @ The Tomahawk
If we go back to Summer 2017... I was EH’d to The Tomahawk by Dark Helmet and Bird Cage. It happened while helping Sharknado move in just down the street. My interest was peaked, so I gave it a try. It was awesome, but…

So today I had the privilege to Q at Tomahawk. After driving what seemed like a time i could have squeezed in a Lord of the Rings movie, I finally made it out to Doby's Bridge Elementary. I'll make the backblast short…

On the second clock at Tomahawk
Polaroid sent out a request a few weeks back for Q's. Replying affirmatively meant I was going to be put out of my comfort zone as I had only attended a weight AO twice over the years. I was then able to get in a visit…

Shaolin inspired gear at The Tomahawk
Last Tuesday YHC's phone made a strange noise, which I found was created by Polaroid, who wrote, "Are you ready and willing to Q The Tomahawk this Wednesday?" Well, I'd been wondering for a while when I'd step up for my…

Ask and Q's show up...with a couple day old weinkes!
This was almost a repeat from #thehive after the quick Q request from none other than Polaroid. Since that Friday workout was such a good sweaty mess, it was worth keeping as is with a few minor tweaks for extra fun…

The Tomahawk - Limited Mumble Chatter
I hold myself accountable for the limited mumble chatter this morning! As the leader of the workout I set the tone of getting straight to work and holding ourselves accountable to whatever reason we have for being at…

Hells Bells at The Tomahawk
I realized last week that I hadn’t Q’d a workout in a few weeks and was itching to get back at it. As always, I try to challenge myself in each workout I lead, but more importantly I try to focus on encouraging others…

Tomahawk-0 to 60 in 45 mins
12 PAX and YHC came in da Gloom of Doby's Bridge Elementary to take our daily Red Pill. As I thought about what type of beat down I'd apply I realized simple is sometimes enough. We over complicate many things and our…

First taste of The Tomahawk
Got my first taste of the many options that Tomahawk has to offer. Perhaps agreeing to Q the day after the Super Bowl wasn't the smartest thing YHC has ever done, but no one wants to disappoint the Pax. After taking a…

Working on the Bum-Bum
This was my first kettlebell Q so truth be told I googled "kettlebell circuit workout" and the bulk of the decent sites were ladies teaching how to firm up you "bum-bum's"... Seemed like we all could use a little help…
