Laces In 2019.08
So for the beat down portion of this I was trying to accomplish an under 30 second max effort and a 3 minute max effort. So the 30 second effort was a 100 yard dash and the 3 minute max reps of burpees. This was flanked…

Lazy Dora
12 Pax posted to Fire Ant tossed on their rucks and got a little stronger today. With Fire Ant moving to a new location in two weeks I took the opportunity to move us 2 by 2 around the back of Harris Teeter to enjoy the…

The SWAMP - RUCK WOD
Well I've royally sucked @$$ at posting BB lately, so figured I better get this one up before I forget. There are some workouts were you just leave feeling motivated and this was one of them. I saw everyone come…

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…

I'm here to pump you up
14 pax posted to The Swamp in a Friday morning gloom that had the feel of a summer morning with the warmth & humidity. Maybe that's what had Cable Guy moving a bit sluggishly. Maybe it was his disappointment in not…

The Deep - Finished Projects and the Glory of it all!!
No matter how much marketing and selling and promoting like a WWE showdown there was nothing to draw the crowds out on an Easter Saturday. We probably should have converged like at Christmas and this will be on the…

The Ranch & Wisdom & Taper & Rucks
34 pax converged on the Ranch (Laces In was closed, NAFO ruck was closed) for HYC's first bootcamp post of 2017, as requested to Q, but had no idea 34 pax would post for an impromptu convergence. Welcome FNG Side Car…
BLOCK PARTY · MAR 21, 2017
He who has ears...
7 true Block Party faithful posted for pain with a mystery Q. The tweets went out Mon eve seeking insights and previews, and the pax were repaid with silence. Two reasons -- YHC has dropped Twitter off the phone for…

Shady's back...back again (@ the Yard)
8 high impact men came out to a nice Saturday morning moderate workout ready to encourage each other. After the disclaimer, and some needed mumble chatter from Twister, we started out with a nice little mosey past the…

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery
As a massive number of PAX rolled in for GC, I noticed that nearly all had on reflective gear or a Ruck. Light crowd for the Boot Camp portion, but it only takes 2 PAX (and we had 7). There was all kinds of Running and…

Tempo
It was a beautiful morning for a run. YHC decided to try the new, and still unopened new connector road to Walmart, then back to Trailhead park. Thanks to Zima for the map which showed a 5.2 mile loop(perfect)…

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…

Not Goodbye, See You Later. 12/16/2016
It was a very chilly day at the Swamp this morning. Excitement was in the air for Bing's last workout in the Fort. When 5:15 hit, we had 6 Pax ready to ruck and 18 Pax ready to bootcamp. To warm up we took a short mosey…

Hey, Look at those Homeless Guys
I'm beginning to think there is a method to the madness of why we work out in the Gloom. Because we're not that pretty in the daylight. This was evidenced at the most recent installment of Run Ruck and Gun! Some of the…
COLOSSEUM · AUG 23, 2016
Coliseum - Run Pain Run Pain some more.
There were runner, ruckers, bootcamper and maybe some swimmers in there too but men were coming from all direction at The Coliseum. YHC was there early to do prep work from the downpainment and found some vehicles…

Are you Army Strong?
22 HIMs showed up to The Swamp today ready to work. And work is what we did. I need to thank Cobra Kai and WWL for the idea. They reached out to me early in the week to see if I wanted to join them on the APFT…

You may know Jack Webb but do you know Jack Squat
It was put out on the twittermachine the day before that any PAX posting to The Fort this week would get a shot of Jack. 10 PAX stepped up to the plate and took the daily red pill with a chaser of Jack!! Noticed 1 FNG…

Filling in the Ditch
In January 2015 I read the following Backblast by a PAX member named Diopter and posted on his behalf by Gnarley Goat. I have never met either of these men…

Gonna do what with the blocks?
Pleasantries and #howdoyoudos abound. Surprise cameo and acknowledgment of the Nantan. Something muttered about South Carolina and lack of sleeves. Disclaimer: (cinderblock concussion discussion) and off we went. Quick…
SLOW BURN · MAY 1, 2015
Chasing Perfection... at #SlowBurn
Why do we do this to ourselves? Why did 30 (no, not a typo) men show up this morning to a cool, dark parking lot at an unheavenly hour? Because someone gave us the gift, and now we are hooked... So here's The Thang…
ALCATRAZ · MAR 28, 2015
Yoga, Windmills, & a Buffet line?
Disclaimer and welcome to #AlcatrazF3 and a special “shout out” to MacGyver and Senator who have set a really cool Q/PAX exchange on Saturdays to get some variety into The Fort / Tega Cay Q rotations. I always…
THE RANCH · MAR 19, 2015
A little game of WWL says
16 PAX took advantage of a perfect gloom to sharpen one another. The Thang: Warm up lap around complex, sounded like the first tour of the entire perimeter in a long time, end at soccer field out front. Line up at the…

99 bottles of.......
2014 is coming to an end, can't believe it. So YHC decided to Q and not be the fourth Q in a row who failed to show up at Golden Corral :) YHC original idea was pushed back when Cornhole brought up a great idea while at…
