Making Monday Great Again
Just another case of the Mondays. 13 of us showed up to get better, including another FNG from Bones named Adam. We walked him through the disclaimer and then set out to do our warm-up. Warm-up - quick mosey over to the…

Reminisce about the "Pain"theon
I haven't been to one of my old favorite AOs in WAY to long. We start to get spoiled with so many great F3 options that it gets easy to stay close to home. I love Funhouse's idea of Ass Kickin' April and getting out to…

On the Fly Tour of The Swamp
12 Pax made it out to The Swamp and Chupacabra in the Gloom of the Morning. 7 bootcampers, 3 Ruckers, and 2 runners that started super early. Beautiful low humidity morning was a welcome surprise from the rest of the…

Quagmire- Where it all Started
14 plus an FNG in the warm and muggy Gloom at Quagmire. This AO is where I posted for my first time back on 2-18-19. Bones' Eh'd me for 12 full months before I gathered the gumption to get after it. Lutefisk had the Q…

Friend or Faux - April BEYOND
For those newer PAX who aren’t familiar with it, BEYOND is a roving AO started by Maximus last year that is designed to push us beyond, both physically and personally. The workouts are supposed to be tough, and the…

Run with Faster Men...
A Running BB? 6 was the count at Sea Legs Tuesday. I couldn't believe Bones was out here only 1 week after twisting his ankle pretty badly at the previous Sea Legs session. You would think that would have slowed him…

Back to Basics at The Deep
After my Q on Thursday I feel like Q #3 this week would a good opportunity to go back to basics. As the Lake Wylie guys celebrated 3 years since the launch of the Deep this week I forget that we have a lot of "newer"…

Tabata Time at the Quagmire
Monday morning and the start of a new business week. It was finally warm, 64 degrees... and with that warmth comes humidity! I haven't been to Quagmire in too long, that standard excuse about passing other AOs to get to…

Tinsel's Utensils at Poopdeck
It was a great way to start Valentine's Day with a non moderate workout with lots of props. Since the day before I had Q'ed at the Abyss and we focused on legs and abs this day we had to work our upper bodies and get…

Getting over a case of the Mondays real quick
Clearly underestimated the setup time and came in hot to the Chic Filet parking lot at 5:14a. Was super stoked to see our boy DaVinici in the gloom ready to put in some work after being on IR for the last 2 months…

Capture the Dodgeball Bear Crab Crawl
Not feeling well and with three Qs in four days, YHC almost requested a substi-Q, but decided against it. Knowing I would need to be up and moving for the Wednesday Q Source launch, what better way to guarantee my…

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…

#Badgemire
I thought it would be special for us to have a little taste of Badger in our DRP this morning, so I brought a Hero Workout to Quagmire (now, just to raise Jedi's ire, we will call it Badgemire)... We yogged a moment…

Constantly Moving Through The Swamp
It is always a pleasure to get the "call" to the lead the PAX and this opportunity didn't disappoint. The Swamp is my "home" Friday AO so I was well aware of all the nooks and crannies it had to offer. After a…

Santa's Trip Around The World
It was a cold one at the Abyss on Wednesday. Sub-freezing temps at COT as everyone slowly made it out of their warm vehicles before starting. Nice-long mosey to get the blood flowing and the body warm... again…

VQ At the Abyss
The Abyss has been around, what, 2 years or so? YHC has never made it down there, and that's a shame. Not only is it a great, well-lit AO, but the pax there represent Lake Wylie very well! Sure wish Siri hadn't been…

Forties for 40
Well today was the day... turning 40...why not take the Q today? I asked Bones for it months ago. There's nothing better than leading a group of men and friends at an F3 workout, especially on a birthday. I was really…

The Green Monster @ Crow's Nest
Monday morning came quickly...always a great day to get started the right way! It was going to be dark (like most F3 mornings). I was happy to see the Nantan Cakeboss and our OG for the Fort Double D roll in for their…

Pre-Michael Showdown at the Abyss
YHC didn't look at the weather forecast last night so it was a bit of a surprise walking outside this morning to the pouring rain. No big deal but had to audible a couple of things on the weinke. One thing I love about…

A Darth Visor Backblast
I came across this backblast while trying to find something to say about Darth Visor's passing. After reading it, I figured what better way to learn a small something about the man he was, than to "participate" in his…

Not much of a game, but a whole lot of suicides
So for some quick backstory, YHC had the Q at the Deep on 9/29, but was asked by our Nantan to be on of the Q's at the convergence at WEP. I was planning on doing a football themed workout there, but since I was losing…

Abyss got tired once again
We started our workout with a quick disclaimer and moseyed to the basketball goals area behind the school, all the props had been distributed into 4 stations. Circled up for the warm up: Windmill Moroccan night clubs…
