Balls of Gloom, Inaugural Edition
With a new year, YHC wanted to try something new at Quagmire. I’ve been tossing around ideas, and having some sort of benchmark workout – like the Board of Pain – that is straightforward to work through but also a good…

Something About Mary
7 Pax posted in a gloom that turned out a bit frostier than forecast. The Senator T Thermostat proved that it wasn't too cold for shorts, but YHC wasted little time with Disclaimer, etc so we could get moving without…

12 days (actually 13) to celebrate a shovel flag handoff!
Big shovel flag hand-off day so hype train was in full effect! As PAX walked up to the gathering, Bear Grylls had 80s hairband music rocking why he was making preparations for post-workout coffeeteria. YHC gave the…

Christmas on Main Street
Chilly morning started out with war stories from the GORUCK weekend with three of the PAX in attendance coming home with a Tough patch. Congrats to Bonsai on his first GORUCK Tough! Clock struck 5:15, a disclaimer was…

Fill an hour at WEP...not a problem when you're touring
Started out the morning with a pre-ruck from YHC, Wegmans and Trucker. Trucker let the way for 2 rookie-ruckers and pushed through the pain for 40 min. Mileage....no clue but likely around 2.5. After the pre-ruck, we…

Aces UP for a blockparty beat DOWN
After a quick disclaimer, we took off for the track around to park to make pit stops at each of the posts for some warmup exercises. At each post, we started with the following exercise and then 2 burpees after each…

Too cold for a TOGA at Block Party
There was quite the bite in the air on this Fall morning. A little different than the balmy 55-degree weather the day before. PAX rolled in and everyone looked very excited to get rolling. Quick disclaimer for the Vets…

What rain???
As 7 PAX entered The Hive on a rainy and cold Friday morning in the gloom, there was positive vibes in the air. After the disclaimer, we took off for a quick mosey and as we were running, we noticed that Quack Attack…

Lack of control
This thing got started with a quick gathering to listen in to the disclaimer before we began the 45 min of activities planned. Short mosey from COT over to the band practice practice field for a warm up. Warm up…

On the first clock at Block Party
Thanks to Shady for the Twitter reminder of my Block Party Q as I haven't been checking my email much lately which would have included the reminder from Worship Planning. I had already been planning a "clock" workout…

The Time is Now
5 pax posted to Block Party to put a final stamp on July 2018 with a dose of swampy pain. Thanks to Site Q, Shady, YHC had the distinct pleasure of helping them meet their goals. The Thang Mosey up Stairway to Heaven…

Party on the Block
Ain't no party like a Block Party and I didn't want to disappoint. Shady has lined up some strong Q's here and the last thing I was going to do was break the positive cycle. On a Tuesday in The Fort you have a wide…

Board of Pain Week 2
Whoaaa Nelly! Humidity up and so was the PAX count. Added 9 men from last week for a total of 19. Several first timers- Norm, Manifold, Sugar Daddy, JWOWW. The Sale Boys were valiant. My understanding is they blacked…
VARSITY · JUN 29, 2018
Ask and ye shall receive
After the disclaimer, we started with a quick mosey around the parking lot to get the legs moving. We then circled up for some stretching and warm-ups which included: SSH (x20), windmill (x10), merkins (x20), Superman…
SNAKE PIT · JUN 11, 2018
Ask and Q's show up...with a couple day old weinkes!
This was almost a repeat from #thehive after the quick Q request from none other than Polaroid. Since that Friday workout was such a good sweaty mess, it was worth keeping as is with a few minor tweaks for extra fun…

Hive @5 (times 2) for some 90s Hip Hop old school
This party was getting started with some 90s Hip-Hop where disclaimer needed to include that YHC was not responsible for what Pandora decided to play. After the full on disclaimer was made, we did a quick mosey around…
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…

Going Primal at Pantheon
At 0514, Pusher learned that YHC had the Q for Pantheon this morning and acknowledged that he needs to check Twitter more often. But, he stayed, along with six other PAX who didn’t know what they were getting themselves…

A Return Home to the Colosseum
This morning was the ideal morning to make a return to the Colosseum to fulfill my opportunity to Q. What made it ideal? I woke up, the temps were cold, I wrote a Weinkie, I had a message to deliver and a few Pax showed…
COLOSSEUM · AUG 22, 2017
Eclipse at the Colosseum...Rock Hill Rip-off
Leading up to this fine Tuesday at THE COLOSSEUM, there were a few challenges and statements made about who would be willing to come out. Of all the conversations, I'll give credit to those who showed after being…

DPQ - New F3 Acronym (Don't Poke the Q) Rad Brad's Fault
Rad decided it was a good idea the night before to start ragging on my Monday Q and that pre-runs should be required in order to get a decent workout. Well, didn't really need that motivation, but it definitely pushed…

4-Corner BLIMPS Accumulators
27 Pax showed out for some work at Golden Corral, and to enjoy perfect F3 weather (low 60's, clear, and not too humid). After the disclaimer was issued, half a dozen or so ruckers split off with Bonsai at the helm. The…

Someone Say Blackjack
**Posted on behalf of Frat Boy** Had a lot planned for my first solo Q at LACESIN and barely made it through half of it. I guess that’s what happens when you’re having fun playing Blackjack. Small strong group showed up…

You've lost that loving feeling
12 high impact men came out to a nice warm hump day Wednesday workout ready to rock and roll. After the disclaimer and recognition of an FNG, we started out with a nice little mosey around the school with some high…
