Missing The Mumble Chatter
16 manly men came to swing some iron around. I was training for the CC5 and have not been out to sling the iron in a while. I sure miss the mumble chatter. Nothing like the chatter that ensues while slinging a few…

Moderate? Well... you get what you pay for (i.e. what you put in).
Another Monday, and 25 gloom-hungry monsters came expecting to work hard. No newbies, so we disclaimed a little and then chatted for a second. What's the difference between a hard workout, and a moderate workout?…

Badgers Basket(Bell) Beatdown...just Like Kentucky

There wasn't any Running at Armory today....
As I sat on my couch last night watching the Penguins outlast the Sharks in a shoot out, I as browsing Twitter and saw a post by Tatanka that he was looking for a substitute Q for the Armory. In my mind, I was already…

Double Fisting

So much for Creativity
With YHC now traveling weekly to/from Raleigh on the train (best way to travel back and forth - try it some time!), he has plenty of time to develop some creative workouts for the PAX. Well, it appears that YHC failed…

Glad F3 was calling me to crawl out of the fartsack and Q
Grateful that I had a reason to get out of the fartsack this morning, had the itch to fartsack, but knew that if I slept and not Q, I wouldn't hear the end of it (right CSPAN?). As I spoke before we hit the pavement…
