Cats, Kicks, and Crawls at Poopdeck
10 PAX posted in the gloom at Poopdeck with early comments that “at least it feels cooler today.” We obviously hadn’t started moving yet. After a quick – and disjointed due to late arrivals – disclaimer, off we moseyed…

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…

Crazy 8s - It can be that bad, right?
31 Pax descended upon Slow Burn for an epic adventure. A #noderate workout plus high humidity had been promised and both were granted on this day. Personally, YHC loves what the Pax have done in creating moderate…

Core Work at The Coop
There was a 2 year celebration going on at one of the AO's so when a bus pulled up next to our COP, I jokingly told the guys we'd be bussing over to that AO to workout with them. We really had no clue why there was a…

If you build it, they will come..

Slow and Intensional Dirty McDeuce
8 fine pax arrived at Pantheon ready for a beating. As tempting at it was to pull out the bucket-o-pain for the second day in a row, YHC decided to reach way back in weinke history for a workout that was a favorite…

Another Saturday at The Yard
CSPAN and I needed therapy, so we pre-rucked a few miles before I showed to Q... Some might use the fact that we pre-rucked as proof of our need for therapy, but it IS the therapy... it's complicated... just forget…

Hump Day... Whatever... Pantheon 4/4
