Last min Charge at Chupercabra
YHC was feeling saucy so I took up the challenge to Q the ruck workout only because it was going to be Lutefisks virgin ruck experience. I usually can't post to Rivergate on Fridays because I have a journey meeting that…
BUSHWOOD · JAN 13, 2021
Welcome to Bushwood!

Pyramid attempt at Fire Ant
On Christmas Eve, Divac introduced us to the way he was going to run The Fire Ant AO now that he is in charge. And guess what, it's not for the faint of heart. That said, I had to live up to the billing. In recent…

THE RANCH · DEC 31, 2020
Upside Down
SkyQ was stirring the Site Q's spirit 30 days ago, suggesting he needed to loop YHC in for a New Year's Eve Q at The Ranch. Little did he know 12/31 happens to be my birthday, so there was no way I could pass up the…

The 700 Club Returns

Balls of Pain to start your Thanksgiving week off right
Because of technical difficulties by YHC I had no idea who had the Q this morning so as we waited for 5:15 to roll around I was frantically planning a backup beatdown just in case. So 5:15 is when we start so without…
