August in Columbia is upon us at last. 13 hearty souls arrived in the gloom at KBS shaking out the cobwebs and gazing about bleary eyed as usual. Something was different, though. After a summer of relative comfort, Columbia’s starting to live up to its “Famously Hot” reputation. The suns fury, after several repeat 90+ …
The August dawn broke over 28 faithful Columbia men as Termite began his virgin Q. He apparently believes the bricks at — ummm — the Brickpile don’t get enough attention. His first instruction was “grab two bricks and follow me.” Most of the exercises below were done with bricks in hand. Conditions: 72 degrees and …
23 SwampFoxes entered the sticky gloom at Crayton Middle Thursday morning. Gone was the lighter air from Tuesday and gone were the 4ct exercises and group AMRAP work. Today it was every man for himself… Conditions: 73 with 93% humidity (where 73% go?) The THANG: #The100Test 1 mile run 100 push-ups 100 squats 100 curl …
Nine men joined for the inaugural kettle bell workout at #Brickpile following our introduction to the bells last week by Swinger and Robber. The 3×3 interval workout proved to be brutal.

Labor Day, the day that, in contrast to its name, is characterized by as little labor as possible. It is a day of laziness highlighted by beer and boating. One entire 24 hour period to abandon the rigors of a normal Monday work day and instead find something completely frivolous to occupy our lives. F3 …
34 pax assembled at The Brickpile as Heartbreaker took his turn at Q. His theme: show up and deliver. And he did. The Thang: Warm-up jog to lower field. Don’t trip over #BaggerVance. COP: SSH X 25 Merkins X 15 LBC X 20 Up / Downs X 12 Freddie Mercury X 15 Boat / Canoe …
26 SwampFoxes ventured into the surprisingly cool and dry morning gloom for Stilts’ first Q. Complete with his #ChrisWeinke (check the Lexicon link at the bottom of the page), the former athletic officer at The Citadel led a workout worthy of his upbringing on the banks of the Ashley in Charleston. Conditions: 73 degree and …
Roscoe got up on the wrong side of the bed Monday morning and took out his frustrations on the 11 pax who met him at Dreher High School. Nothing fancy — just a downPAINment to start the week off right. The Thang: Student Parking Lot: SSH x20 Jump Squats x10 Merkins x15 Jump Squats x10 …
11 pax took off from Owens Field with hard set goals. Armed with the assurance that the track at Owens Field would be the recurring Monday location, the faithful showed up ready to push themselves and one another. Although the flight line across the street was quiet and empty in the gloom, the track filled …
