Block Party Beatdown

Honoring Those Who Impact Us
This week, on Wednesday, we honor all veterans who have served and continue to serve our nation. As part of that theme, YHC decided to get a little jump start by assigning a workout where PAX would honor a veteran of…

Sweep the Leg runs into Pantheon
I got the call to come off the bench and Q Pantheon and figured it was time to step up my game as Q. It was time to do something I hate (but know it's needed) and that is to run run and run. So taking a chapter out of…

Push, pull, who mows your lawn...what?
8 (soon to be 9...then 10) PAX gathered for chilly Snake Pit morning. Getting the formalities (disclaimer) out of the way, YHC didn't waste time moving b/c it was COLD! We took off behind, I guess it's behind, the…

Bite size tennis ball family
A nice and cool morning turned into something a bit warmer about 3 min in. 9 PAX took the DRP and after a quick, and non-energetic into as called out by Jekyll, YHC jumped out to a quick mosey. Stopping in front of the…

Minnow Pond Back Blast
BB- Perfect conditions if you like 90% humidity and August like conditions. Straight Up was a beast on the up and down hills. Funhouse had perfect burpee form and the rest of us did our best to keep up. From Launch…

Playing Cards at The Colosseum
A return to the arena we call The Colosseum; a homecoming if you will. That's all that was at stake. With the increased Tuesday attendance and the added AO here in September for the Iron PAX Challenge presenting another…

Burning Down The Colosseum
Gladly accepted the Q request from Jekyll a month ago for an AO i had never posted to. He told me the Qs really bring the pain. Visited the week prior to get the lay of the land and he was not joking. With that I…

Do a few things, but do them well.
Jekyll asked me to Q at Colosseum like a month and a half ago. I had reservations, as the Colosseum is outside my radius of comfort for a weekday post and it's not like the Q can leave early. Throwing caution to the…

Making it Count at the Colosseum
I forgot how dark this AO is to start so was surprised when I felt like I didn't recognize any of the pax that came to work this morning. We had 9 in all, including Ryan the FNG (EH goes to Bubble Boy). Gave the…

Pantheon of Pain - The "Gam Guillotine" - Redux
This BB is going to be easy, at least for the workout part for in honor the Q of my first workout - Jekyll - I decided to recreate his Q nearly verbatim. With the help of Gears I was able to find his original back…

4x4 Fun
I haven't been to Colosseum in a long time. I've been doing the ruck WOs on Tuesdays so it was good to shake up the routine. It was also great to see so many cars rolling in. I haven't seen several guys in a while due…

#LacesIn. 0515. It Pays To Be A Winner.
We played a little bit of “It pays to be a winner” this AM at Laces In in honor of GoRuck Team Selection which starts today. If you aren’t familiar, this is a common phrase spoken in Selection, and it’s a great tool…

Spring Break at the Colosseum
Jekyll put out the request on the Twitter machine for a last-minute Q at Colosseum. YHC hadn’t been to that AO in some time and figured, why not? There are some good spaces over there and the PAX are usually up for a…

The Pillars of Pain
The AKA Possie was in full effect at the Pantheon this morning. The cold weather did not deter them from posting on the third consecutive day this month. We began with a lap around the car pickup line and stopped on the…

The Four Horsemen
We only had four, but they were studs, willing and ready to take on the beatdown. After a quick disclaimer, the Four Horsemen took a lap around the front of the school and stopped at the basketball court for some…

Preparing For the Storm
I was excited to be the Q at The Colosseum this cool morning and my attempt to push the Pax at one of The Fort well known challenging AO’s. Being one of the older pax, I wanted to push everyone physically and also share…

No Balance & No 50-Yard Line
6 Veteran pax posted to The Colosseum on a dry (thank you!) crisp morning to share in another #DRP experience. Within just a span of a few days, it's great to experience the energy of the Convergence last Friday with…

Sightseeing at The Colosseum
Today was my first post at The Colosseum. So with a quick drive by and with a little help from google maps, I planned a flexible weinke that could change as we went along. Also, this was the first weinke that I…

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…

Pantheon - A little bit of everything
6 Pax braved a possible deluge of 40% chance of rain. YHC was duped to take the Q by an unnamed #HIM that was on a mission to get YHC to post this week. Mission was successful. YHC took the bait, set the alarm and made…

Pantheon 2018.45
I've been doing breathing exercises for awhile now, but I didn't consider it an activity worthy to include at an F3 workout. Then Santini did it, so now I had to do it better. Warmup, nothing new here, go read a dozen…

Make TIME : Colosseum
Nov 6th 14 HIM came to get better this warm, gloomy Tuesday morning, with T Claps to Sugar Daddy for bringing out FNG (Tin Cup). YHC - Fogerty completed the Principles of F3 with the group, disclaimer completed, time to…

Arrows Are Never a Good Idea
12 #HIM decided to NOT take the Daily Blue Pill and posted to The Colosseum to be entertained by YHC on Q. It was a very quiet crowd so #mumblechatter was at a low level but the #effort was at a high level as we pushed…
