Last Minute Q at Footloose with a promise of no stairs
So I took the Q at the last minute to help out Beacon, and during the initial twitter planning there was a request made for no stairs, so I decided to make today's beat down leg friendly in the event any P200 guys were…

Lucky 13 at Footloose For a Re-do of My 1st F3 Workout
I've been buggin' Beacon to let me Q Footloose again, just because it's always a lot of fun. He finally caved and let me do it. My original gameplan included 100 SSH and a jog around the big block to warm us up and a…

Ciabatta/Tabata whatever at the Yard
It was a balmy Saturday Morning heading to the Yard as I saw many headlamps off in the woods running the Ragnar. We were getting ready to dial in our own pain for the gloom. Hopeful thoughts that one of the PAX would…

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…

Webb-o-Rama at Footloose
At least some of the 20 pax that posted to Footloose did so having already had a dose of YHC's moderate Q two days earlier at The Ballroom. For those that knew and still posted, I'm humbled. For those that didn't know…

Buncha Monkeys at Footloose
How many monkey humpers can one do in a Q before the Pax get cranky? Turns out quite a few. I rolled in at 5:13 with just a few minutes to spare. Looked like a great group was forming for this gloomy workout. YHC has…

Ballroom dancing machine
This backblast will be as simple as Change Order's pole dancing - short and odd. We had a FNG show up this morning and as we began to introduce ourselves, Anchorman was questioned why he introduced himself as his F3…

A Backblast when only 2 Pax show? Absolutely.
When a man fails to show for a workout because of the weather, YHC has been known to look unfavorably on such behavior. This morning was cold (low 30s). It was rainy. And though it didn't rain during the workout, it was…

Wall of Aces at Ballroom

Ruck dancing at Footloose
As a virgin Q at Footloose, wasn't sure what I was rucking into. Cars kept pulling into the AO and I was getting excited. Though none of my fellow ruckers joined me (shame on you all - you were warned it was ruck…

Footloose - Not Fancy or Free (of Pain)
