It was a hot humid morning in The Fort at Sweep The Leg. We had 6 pax post to start the week right. Disclaimer was given. Today is about realizing you can’t do it all on your own. To often we fail to realize that we…

FORE!
Balmy 32 degrees, clear skies. Great to start the year off with a proper #runningwithpushups beatdown. Was a little nervous on the who would show as the emoji bucket for my preblast was near empty. I need my dopamine…

A wet and cold pusher!
Today at the swamp it started off just a little chilly but by the time we moze it over to the home Depot parking lot for a quick warm up, here came the rain! Warmed up with 15 of each exercise: Moroccan Night Club, Hill…
BLOCK PARTY · DEC 7, 2021
Changing of the Guard
28 PAX joined in the gloom for a brisk morning at Block Party. Though the temps were in the high-40s, the wind cut and made it feel much colder. Most were ready to get started and warmed up. Bobber led off with the…
COLOSSEUM · NOV 16, 2021
Colosseum Backblast
Warmup: Shady QIC: Zima 25 Pax showed to see if the rumors were true. Or Shady has a degree in short-term hype trains. Maybe a little of both. Humbled to see y'all out there for an out of shape Q workout. Shady did a 5…
RING OF FIRE · JAN 27, 2021
Running in Circles
8 HIMs gathered at Ring of Fire today with many thoughts on their mind. Would Pusher bring it? Would it rain? Would we do pull ups? These questions among others brought the Pax into the gloom seeking all 3 F3s and YHC…

BLIMPS at The Bubble

Uphill Times

Braving the "elements" at Slowburn
By now, it's a well-traveled story about the threat of inclement weather for our Friday AM post at Slow Burn. Fortunately, 10 other men joined me as we decided to give it a go anyways. After some comments the perfect…
SNAKE PIT · JAN 8, 2020
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…

Merkin Mania
It was a chili morning and I was over at Cross Town Rival FMHS to lead a WO at Laces In. I got there a little early to loosen my old bones and fortunately for me I ran into Pusher. This was a good thing because whether…
COLOSSEUM · OCT 8, 2019
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…
THE ARMORY · OCT 7, 2019
Can I borrow a KB?
YHC was pleased to be asked by J-Wow (there's a guy who is accelerating) to come back to the Armory and Q. While not a true Redwood, I was there when the idea of a KB workout was launched at the Baxter pool with Package…
SLOW BURN · SEP 13, 2019
For a moderate, this was kinda rough
I'm not sure when I have Q'd that I can recall being wiped out. Today was pretty rough. Good but rough. I think it was just rough enough for Shady and Pusher to keep them interested. We left ChickFilA and went toward…

Minnow Pond Strikes Again
17 Pax descended upon the Minnow Pond this AM. Many were new to the Pond and all were better for having posted. In the 5 weeks since launch, Shady along with the other Qs have set the bar high for MP. The workouts have…
SLOW BURN · AUG 2, 2019
Back at it - Slow Burn
It was a "Full of Respect" group of Pax that showed up to start their Friday off the right way, with the DRP. YHC finally made it to a workout to actually workout. Good to see some new faces and old faces (Pusher)…

Fields of Gory at The Ranch - And The Importance of Sharing Your Burdens
Jiffy gave me a holler this weekend to Q here. I was in the lower spectrum of the Flux lately and Q-ing a mostly black diamond AO was just what I needed to get out of it. Thank you Jiffy for the opportunity!! As I…

SlowBurning a Ring Of Fire
Great morning for a workout! 13 pax posted (no new guys). The disclaimer was issued and we bolted out of the Chick-fil-a parking lot, Pusher style. We ran past BP in front of Jimmy John's for a bit of COP warm-up: - SSH…

HIIT @Quagmire
Jedi put me on the Q schedule at Quagmire way back when we had a snow storm that paralyzed the Charlotte area. It has taken until Monday 25Mar for me to make my first appearance at Quagmire. The night before, I loaded…
RING OF FIRE · MAR 20, 2019
Where are you cheating?
16 HIMs descended upon the Coop this AM for the DRP and a downpainment for the day. YHC volunteered to Q a few months ago when Punch List took over as Site Q. IMHO the Site Q sets the tone and culture for the AO and is…
