It was a dark and rainy morning... but that didn't stop six Pax from getting up and after it at The Hive. This workout is called Double Trouble and was named that before we lost our Metro brother of the same name, but…

"Just the Facts, Ma'am."
YHC picked up the Q yesterday from 3D after a message was shot across Slack. With little prep time I went into the annals of prior weinkes and pulled out a subtle burner. Four showed up with their bells and we headed to…

NO OYO at Quagmire
YHC took the last min Q with the normally scheduled programming interrupted by a last min Mannmon trip out of state. I had a shorty out of bed scenario at the home base so I was coming in hot to StartEx and was very…

Stay Hard
I’ve been reading a handful of books these days, and one phrase that has stuck within my mind (as well as my SL) is #StayHard. It has pushed me through the mindset of “I can’t do this” or “I shouldn’t do this.” How many…

Crush it and Pump it!

Primetime at Block Party
14 PAX gathered in the warm early February gloom. Unbeknownst to them, Cheddah had laid a hurting on YHC a few Saturdays ago.... once YHC has found a weakness, he addresses it. Meaning we were in for the Deion…

COLOSSEUM · JUL 23, 2019
Do a few things, but do them well.
Jekyll asked me to Q at Colosseum like a month and a half ago. I had reservations, as the Colosseum is outside my radius of comfort for a weekday post and it's not like the Q can leave early. Throwing caution to the…

Double Booked? Nope, Double Beatdown.
Through no fault of anyone that I'm aware, the original Q for the Hive was double booked. Since I know that guy, the PAX probably got off easy with me filling in. Or maybe not. Disclaimer was disclaimed (didn't notice…

Shaolin inspired gear at The Tomahawk
Last Tuesday YHC's phone made a strange noise, which I found was created by Polaroid, who wrote, "Are you ready and willing to Q The Tomahawk this Wednesday?" Well, I'd been wondering for a while when I'd step up for my…
