Simple is good
It has been atleast 12 months since I have even posted at The Armory, let alone Q'd. Probably longer. But when Assassin asked you to do something, you do it. Plus it was new and fresh for me which is good for all of us…

Lead, follow or move that Kettle Bell out of the way
A beautiful morning gloom dawned on The Armory where the Pax came to pick up heavy things and put them back down again. Cars kept coming and the numbers kept growing as YHC barked out the 2 minute warning. Just as the…

"Make him curl up in the fetal position"
Twitter is a great way to nudge PAX to post, or in my view call out PAX who haven't posted to the Armory in ages. The second best thing about Twitter is that other PAX reply with announcements that an FNG is posting and…

The Armory: R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The wind was strong, the humidity high, and the men came out to throw some iron around at The Armory. My favorite way to run a workout is to incorporate a timing mechanism instead of using a count. I feel this allows…

The Armory - Rain or No Rain...that is the question
17 men came to pick things up and put them down at The Armory. I thought for sure the crowd would be light considering it was "moist" on the ground. However the PAX never disappoints and the cars came rolling in one…

Arming each other at the Armory
