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…

If in Tega Cay you utilize hills and RUN
YHC took the message from Maxims at Tuesday's Beyond WO to heart. We all find reasons to not push through difficult times; if thats a workout, raising kids, marriage, we tend to find a reason to give up or divert what…

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…

Golden Corral - RUCK HEAVY
It was an awesome morning and 19 PAX showed up to put some work in. 11 of us went to get our RUCK on. Maximus had reached out and asked if I would be interested in a Co-Q with him as I've been freeloading for long…

11* at Tempo Tackle Molokai
Apologies to Gekko for the late BB but my vacation schedule has been a bear. Last Thursday 11 Pax met in the gloom, well 9 met at Trailhead Park while 2 (Gears and Maximus) were running in circles (intervals) already at…

Ruckers at the Beach (Sand Bags)
It seemed like forever ago that I excitedly signed up for the Ruck Q at Golden Corral on 6/20 but the day was quickly approaching. After some reaching out to various PAX about who had rucks and who had sand bags, more…
FLIGHT PLAN · JUN 5, 2017
Pineapples, Biscuits and Audibles
10 Pax posted this AM to Flight Plan regardless of the light sprinkling in Fort Mill. This is a runner's Backblast, so it'll be short and sweet. There was no Q this AM even after a plea from the Site Q via Twitter…

The Moderate Colosseum
Several weeks ago, I got this message from the Colosseum Site Q, Seacrest: "Hey Max, would you be up for Qing the Colosseum 3/28?" I thought to myself for about 2 seconds about all the reasons I may not be able to Q as…

Ruck isn't just a walk in the parking lot
As I started to think about what I wanted to do for the workout this morning I quickly realized that some things such as wheelbarrow and the Bonsai Tree are out of the question (Yes, I am quite fond of the Bonsai Tree…

4 years in gets you a VQ
I've been a part of this F3 Workout thing that really seems to be much more than a workout, especially in our large but tight-knit group in The Fort/Rock regions. I've been a regular at the bootcamps, an occasional…

12 Days of Christmas with a Ruck
Golden Corral has always been a great AO and it is no different for the ruck option. With ten ruckers in attendance it is clear that this "ruck thing" has taken hold. Those that have not tried it need to. It comes with…

The CHOICE is yours as a NoCo Brother Crosses State Lines!
Today, I was graciously welcomed with open arms and ears by my fellow brothers across state lines. I was bestowed with the honor to Q WEP today and admittedly, I was a touch nervous. Not for the workout itself, but what…

I didn't tell anyone I launched a new AO
This was a surprise Q. And a surprise AO launch really. YHC has felt like we needed a Thursday moderate option for PAX either starting out, on the mend or just looking for a touch less beatdown. After mentioning it to a…

Help the Next Gen Win

Burpees and People's Donkey Balls
29 PAX took the DRP from YHC this morning at the Colisseum. About 9 posted knowing that YHC was the Q and wanting a quality beatdown, the other 20 didn't know YHC was in charge. Some thought about making it to another…

It was moderate...sort of
After a couple high-tech Q reschedules, my number was drawn to Q our supposed "moderate" AO at the Yard yesterday. I've heard this place is moderate but I know some of the regular PAX and they're not so moderate…

Board of Pain Rnd 1 2016
A baker's dozen showed up fr everyone's favorite summer tradition- the Board of Pain. Would have been 15 if @Funhouse showed and @Sasquatch didnt #fartsack. We had some veterens today and we had some new blood. All are…

At 52, everything moderate, (well maybe not)
27 #HIM joined in for an old fashioned moderate beatdown. Seldom does YHC get to do 2 Q's in the same week and Maximus asked if I was going to re-hash Tuesday's Golden Corral. Negative, no wheel barrows for this…
THE RANCH · JUN 9, 2016
Siri leads a mean COP
13 of The Fort's finest arrived at the Ranch. I am always excited to Q at this AO. Last time it was a surprise appearance for the Board of Pain. Might have explained why the number was a bit lower than the weekly…

The Ranch - Humility, Humidity and a Plan
12 PAX and a boatload of humidity showed up at The Ranch! I had the country music playing but there was no beer swinging at this party. Wish there was, as it was hot and we were thirsty!! Away we went..... Not sure of…
COLOSSEUM · APR 5, 2016
How about a little Yoga beforehand?
For the first time in a few weeks YHC wasn't scheduled to be I RGH and post at The Forge and when Maximus asked for volunteers, I was honored to step up and get back to Qing. I know the reputation at this AO is to…
