The Coop 2017.29
I was greeted this wonderful morning by over 20 gentlemen that all came to get stronger. This is not an AO on my routine schedule, but I love it and sneak over here for the pull-up bars on occasion. It's the first time…

Coliseum Shift Change
18 Gladiators showed up to the #sweathole known as The Colloseum. It had been rumored there would be changing of the guard. Most folks were in the dark on who the new Q would be until we started. Seacrest had the Q and…

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…

Two years and counting
Two years ago, Jekyll invited me to WEP for my first workout. I thought I was in pretty good shape, but little did I know what was in store for me. I remember halfway through the workout thinking, this was a bad idea…

Laces Out with an angry Q---but there was Watermelon!!
So Sir Topham hat passed the Q to YHC and I do like the track, but felt we needed some off campus work....sort of. So I thought about hitting Kinsley and maybe the deck, but felt that was not right. So I remembered a…

Post 4th Beatdown
I put out the call on the twitter machine that this edition of Pantheon would be tough. It did not dissapoint. Six Thoroughbreds answered and got better. Mosey to Memorial Park, circling the flag and beginning with a…

5 at The Hive
4 men showed up to better themselves on a muggy Friday at The Hive. Having never spent any time at this location I was not well acquainted enough to do anything very creative with the landscape. That being said, I hope…

Volume 1 Bonsai's Greatest Hits
Usually when I know at least a couple days ahead of time that I am going to Q I try to come up with something that is either new or I haven't seen done in a long time. However with the crazy work schedule and everything…

Damp, Dirty, and Itchy at Pantheon
What an amazing morning it was, especially for a mid-summer gloom (weather-wise - "amazing" wouldn't be the word to describe the workout). Temps in the lower 60's, and modest humidity compared to normal/recent soupiness…

It's a sad, sobering day. #SleevelessLikeCheech at Poopdeck
I have a special place in my heart for the Pax of Lake Wylie... It was good to pull up and see a lot of farmer's tans and previously unbeknownst tattoos as 17 (I think maybe a record for this AO?) men posted with no…

Holy crap it was muggy... Colosseum June 20, 2017
Did they build this school in a hole or something? I felt like I was nearly swimming through this workout... my lungs felt sweaty by the end... It was gross and glorious. The Pax were promised Gladiation, so I did my…
THE ARMORY · JUN 19, 2017
The Armory: R-E-S-P-E-C-T
The wind was strong, the humidity high, and the men came out to throw some iron around at The Armory. My favorite way to run a workout is to incorporate a timing mechanism instead of using a count. I feel this allows…

Dora's Backpack Adventure at Quagmire
If you've ever watched an episode, you know how annoying it is. The viewer is asked to repeat things she says, find clues in plain sight, etc. It's terrible. But even in its terribleness, it wasn't quite as terrible as…

A Little Hoglet and a Coyote Pup
For some reason, life, work, grind, whatever I just wasn't feeling it for the 4th annual running of the Hog and Coyote CSAUP. Then I found out I was scheduled to Q at the Fort, so my decision to forego H&C was…

Get Fit, That's It!
6 veteran pax with 5 2.0s in tow posted to Steele Street Park to engage, inspire and be inspired by the youth of the Paradise community. With shorties ranging from 6 to 16, including 7 FNGs, an extended Disclaimer was…

Webb-o-Rama at Footloose
At least some of the 20 pax that posted to Footloose did so having already had a dose of YHC's moderate Q two days earlier at The Ballroom. For those that knew and still posted, I'm humbled. For those that didn't know…
THE BALLROOM · JUN 13, 2017
Casting Seeds and Shovel Flag Hand-off at The Ballroom
Great showing of pax on a fairly warm morning. The garbage bin in the parking lot was especially pungent, which was nice. 14 total gathered before YHC issued the disclaimer, and Quickbooks moseyed us out to a remote…

The Hive 2017.23
Week 23 of 52, so you should be 44% complete with your goals for the year... Warmup SSH, Windmill, Hillbilly The Thang Mosey to the drag strip. Stephen Curry's (kettlebell lunge + pass through) for 25 yards with each…
SLOW BURN · JUN 9, 2017
Is there any doubt?
20 Pax posted 'round the Shovel Flag to SlowBurn on a pleasant morning with a spectacular full moon. Yes, Twister was howling. The rest of the Pax were ruminating over whether YHC would actually deliver a Moderate…

The Encore
When I'm 59, I want to be like Bruce Dickinson. Disclaimer, etc. Slow mosey around the bus loop and back to the side of the lot, near the recycle bins. Back and forth across the basketball lot ... shuffle L, shuffle R…

The PoopDeck answers the challenge
It all started with a challenge from Witch Hunt to see who would have more PAX between the PoopDeck and GrandStrand. Luckily for me the PAX and Site Q's came through to deliver one of the best showings the PoopDeck has…

Q101 @ F3Footloose
Conditions were perfect Q101 (disclosure- this doc is plagiarized with all credit going to others): PHILOSOPHY Q – Pax Relationship: The unspoken social contract between the Pax and a Q: “We will follow until you give…

Saturday in Paradise
With only 8 Pax and 2 2.0s in attendance at 9 am we did a little OYO stretching to give the soon to be in attendance Pax time to get there. After about 5 minutes I decided to have us mosey through the neighborhood. The…
