The Ballroom - Dancing with ourselves
14 PAX came together at The Ballroom after a long Memorial Day weekend. Too many Hot Dogs and hamburgers maybe but the PAX were ready to get better and stronger. I asked the PAX to think about all the PAX around them…

Be careful what you ask on Twitter
The evening before the workout I sent out a message on twitter asking who was the Q at Golden Corral for the Ruck WO. I quickly got a response back saying it was wide open just for me. Obviously I stepped up and took…

4-Corner BLIMPS Accumulators

Someone Say Blackjack
**Posted on behalf of Frat Boy** Had a lot planned for my first solo Q at LACESIN and barely made it through half of it. I guess that’s what happens when you’re having fun playing Blackjack. Small strong group showed up…

Nothing says Monday like a BOP
The day, Monday. The temperature, mild. The previous days Jalapenos, a bad idea. I called the battle cry for the ORIGINAL kettle bell BOP and there was no shortage of takers. Today there was something different and…

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…

Breaking It Down at the Abyss - 3/29/2017
