Broga and Pole work at the Ballroom
The PAX were in for a treat as we started out the warm up with some routine Broga. This obviously started after I did the disclaimer since I'm no where close to a professional like Sasquatch. There was a lot of mumble…

Round and Round at Beyond
Sweatbox of a Monday. I was honored to be given the opportunity to Q a BEYOND workout. BEYOND, the brainchild of Maximus acting on the very definition of reverse flow incubator. See a problem/opportunity- create the…

The End of the Beginning
As the school closes out and the doors of the Paradise Reading Center close until the next school year, I wanted to write this BB to shed some light on all that F3 and PRC have been through. We embarked on the…

Fiststix on Q
It's been difficult for me to make it over to Quagmire on a consistent basis lately. It use to be my regular Monday morning hangout. There were several great workout options this morning. It was great to see a good…

Of Relays and Dance Parties
Truth be told, YHC is losing his mind. When I was asked to Q at the Deep for the return of the 0630 launch, my first thought was, “Hey! That AO is at a school. I don’t normally post at schools. I should do something to…
SLOW BURN · MAY 18, 2018
If you build it, they will come..
The weather forecasts leading up to Slow Burn showed what could have been a soggy outing. In preparation, I made sure I had not one, but two Weinke's prepared for the PAX. One bringing back a popular game from College…

Seis Rancheros
A motivated group of 6 men met at The Ranch for another test of their strength and endurance. Here is what they did: The Thang: Warm up with walking knee pulls, ankle pulls, toy soldiers, and lunge twists. Take a short…

Track Magic at Laces Out
You put out one promotional tweet that pokes a little fun at our southern racing heritage and its crickets. Well not actual crickets but lets just say that a tweet I put out highlighting #HIM Cornerstone went viral…

Mini Cannoli Run at Pantheon
Perfect timing with site Q Fishsticks needing a sub. This allowed me to vent some Cannoli stress on the PAX and set up a workout with Cannoli Run similarities. In this Saturday's Cannoli Run that YHC is race director…

16 @ The Ballroom 5/15
- It's always exciting to see cars come in hot around the curves of Pleasant Knoll Middle School to get to the workout on-time. Everybody was in the circle when my phone alarm signaled it was 0515. No FNG's, but I…

No SSH at GC
Twelve at Golden Corral for a substi-Q on the hottest morning of the young spring! 74 degrees at post time but when Corn Hole ran in from his home dripping wet, all the sudden I felt a lot cooler. This morning we…

Broga, Tater Special, and Quagmire Handoff
The plan for several months has been for YHC to receive the shovel flag for Quagmire sometime in May. Eventually, the 14th came out as the best option, so it only made sense when the call for a substi-Q went out on…

Spin it and win it
4 PAX decided to get better on a low attendance friday morning for a moderate bootcamp, we blame it on the Ruck event going on that night that most of the swamp "regulars" had signed up for. We welcomed 1 FNG (dungaree)…

Truck full of concrete at Colosseum
If you've posted at the Colosseum, you know Jekyll guarantees it'll be worth your time. So for all the future Q's of this AO, the nation looks forward to you keeping the streak alive. Several weeks ago I had the…

Bucket-o-Pain - New and Improved With More Awfulness!!!
9 bootcampers and 7 ruckers landed at Golden Corral for a buffet of painful options. Drummond brought an FNG (later named "Manifold") to partake in the meal. Don't know about any of the other bootcampers, but YHC was…

Russian Roulette
To start: Simple stretching while I explained the idea of what I call Russian Roulette. During the workout, rock songs from a 90s and 00s playlist were blasted on shuffle. One song on the playlist would function as a…

Gambling in the Abyss
What happens when you're granted the honor of Qing at an AO you've not been to much and therefore, not to familiar with? Why, you scout it on Sunday with your kids after Church of course. Completely normal, right? For…
THE ARMORY · APR 30, 2018
Honor at the ARMory
Perfect morning with 8 PAX gathering to the only work out with kettle bells at FHC- ask DH. Needed help with a KB- Mr. Clean said I could use his rock but I had to give him a ride. Deal. Short Sale offered his on…

G Fit April 42818
Beautiful day in the neighborhood! We had 27 PAX on a gorgeous Saturday afternoon- the last as G-fit is moving to Friday nights for the summer to escape the heat and blazing sun. Lots of F2 2.0s. G-fit has done a good…

It’s 5 O’Clock Somewhere
5 HIMs showed up at the NaFo “bar” this morning, and by bar I mean the pull up bars. We started off with a mosey around the parking lot, with some buttkickers and high knees mixed in for good measure. At the top of the…

Moderately Crabby
Thanks to Smithers for allowing me to lead this morning. 23 HIMs started with the disclaimer and then took a little twist on the mosey down the hill to the back side of Lowes for the warm-up and beat down. Two lines…

What was Paula Abdul doing at the Poopdeck!?
There were 11 PAX including Adretti, who we lost to I.R. a couple months ago, at the Poopdeck on a nice Thursday morning. At 5:15 sharp I gave a quick dislamer we moseyed to the gravel-filled parking lot below where we…

Hopping, crawling, sneaking, and pushing at Laces In
Truth be told, YHC did not consult his work calendar when Lil E asked him to Q Laces In, and he probably would have turned it down had he thought about it. Once committed, there was no excuse to pass it off. Plus, it’s…

Beyond - how selfish are you
The message for Beyond was around being selfish Humans we are naturally selfish people. As a child you grow up thinking everything should be centered around you. Even as I moved into adulthood I still didn't completely…
