No Fear = No EnCOURAGEment
22 boot campers (including 1 FNG) and 5 runners posted to THE Ballroom this week looking for some #Encouragement along the pothole-filled road of life. YHC offered a full Disclaimer for the benefit of our FNG (T-claps…
SLOW BURN · AUG 31, 2018
Live in the Present and Feel the Slow Burn
Got Labor Day 2018 weekend off on the right foot with a strong group of 23 pax. Awoke to a thick, humid late summer morning and Q-drenaline got YHC to the AO early. Erected a shovel flag as I know that my friend the…

Light Pole Work
For what looked to be a rainy morning the night before, I was pleased to see we would have a dry morning, except for the sweat from the less than moderate work I had planned. Ballroom is a great AO and is also moderate…

Core Impact
It was a really nice morning at The Ballroom! The weather was perfect, the PAX were feisty, and the workout was tough (at least I think so). We started out with a quick disclaimer (no FNG's) and then we moseyed around…

Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Burpees
A sticky, pre-July 4th convergence group showed at THE Ballroom. The Pax answered the Siren Song published on the Twitter machine put out by YHC. Pleasantries exchanged, disclaimer was disclaimed. Let get to it. Mosey…

Delusions Day
You know you must be doing something right when PAX figure out your the Q and they moan. Was pleasantly surprised by the number of PAX that showed up considering competing against the Nantan tour. Festival of Popular…

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…

Choosing Not to Cheat - Ballroom Style
Honestly, YHC was stoked to Q the Ballroom this week. First, I had not visited the new site since moving from PKES. Second, I had not seen a lot of the Pax at this site and third the weather was perfect with a mild 60…

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…

Today + You = History
10 Pax posted to #THEBallroom for another chapter in Redwood Originals month. This was YHC's first Q (or even post) to the not-so-new site now at Pleasant Knoll Middle School. Prior experience the past 18 months as Site…

The Baby Yeti
It was a beautiful morning...not too warm, not too cold, a bit breezy, and a bit of a foggy gloom. Perfect! Attendance was light...but today was The Yeti CSAUP. In honor of all those men running in the main attraction…

First taste of The Tomahawk
Got my first taste of the many options that Tomahawk has to offer. Perhaps agreeing to Q the day after the Super Bowl wasn't the smartest thing YHC has ever done, but no one wants to disappoint the Pax. After taking a…

A Primer on The Mission and Principles of F3 served with a side of pain.
Another day at The Ballroom dawned clear, cold and windy. Kept the Shovel Flag in the trunk for fear it would be blown away. Excellent mixture of veteran and new pax were ready to get warmed up and take on the Weinke…

No Rain At The Ballroom
I awoke to the sound of raindrops outside my window and mumbled a bit and got after it and I'm thankful eight other brothers decided to do the same. This morning was pretty simple but it resulted in a bit of…

5 at Armory with Celebrity Jailbreak
5 braved the cold for some kettlebell misery while we watched other Pax head to the warmth of the Journey Group (Respect.) Maximus was our celebrity jailbreak as kids have no school so he had nothing better to do in 23…

A Real Ball Buster at Quagmire
I was going to name this "Playing with NASA's Balls at Quagmire", but I won't go there.... GREAT morning! Chilly, crisp, with clear skies. NASA-Q loves starry mornings. Quite a few PAX showed up ready to give Monday the…

The Ballroom_ Moon River and some CakeBoss!
6 PAX joined YHC at The Ballroom on this 12 degree morning. We all have a choice and if we think its cold outside, you need to ask yourself what is colder....the temperature or leaving your brother alone at an AO? I…

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…

Dealer's Choice: Shovel Flag hand-off at The Ballroom
A beautiful early fall morning with a bright moon called some hearty soles to the "new" Ballroom. Q-drenaline was surging in my veins as the cars kept rolling in. YHC was proud to have my 2.1, Pigeon roll out of the…

4 Corners of Body Destruction
No, we did not do the Body Destroyer for 45 minutes, Birdcage! However, there was consistent feedback that this was a brutally different workout. Welcome to "ya never know what ur gonna get with Straight Up!" A big…

Totin' the Block, Faithfully

Ask not for whom the Year tolls- It tolls for thee
The morning dawned chilly but clear as I approached Pantheon on the first anniversary of my intro to F3. Alas my "sponsors" Howitzer and Bing would not be present due to having moved (Howitzer) and injury (Bing). Fish…
