It’s a good thing these workouts are free, because you probably couldn’t market or sell this thang even if you tried. We normally do a good bit of intense running at Battle. Only reason we ran at all today was to change locations. Great work by the Pax today. The Thang: Splinter 10-1 Squat and …
After discussion with the PAX Thursday at score. Interest was high to do a Special Saturday edition. So YHC had a couple of cocktails and came up with a diabolical plan. The Thang was pretty simple 3 men on a log – 2 with Coupons running ahead. Once the group of two got to next …
8 men arose from the #Fartsack this beautiful morning to take on another workout with YHC at the helm. In true #Dawnstrike fashion, mumblechatter and comaradie was high, the pain though, was intense. This is how it went down: Conditions: 70 degrees, 80% Humidity The Thang: Super short mosey from our gathering to the tree …
This morning we had a whopping 6 PAX post for a 10 miler! The route meandered around downtown. Starting at Dreher, we ran down (and up) Blossom, passed FIA, coming the opposite direction, turned right at Lincoln, left on Devine, left on Huger, to get back on Blossom, crossed the Blossom Street Bridge, and in …

10 Pax posted for #Stumble & #StumbleXL this morning in the rainy gloom and #GotBetter. YHC is happy to report that no one melted or floated away due to the rain. As said this morning, you can’t predict the weather on race day so you better train in the rain. The Pax had no interest in …
YHC was really second guessing the decisions on some of these exercises, but it felt SO GOOD once it was all said and done! No surprise, but the Hammer pax destroyed this workout. Great job! Conditons: 73 degrees and 91% humidity The Thang: Slaughter Starter- plus five 25 Burpees OYO (thanks to Chop Shop for …
Early this morning, while most normal people are still far, far away in la-la-land, 5 PAX decided to post to #Legion to take on the monthly dose of extreme #DRP in the form of the renown workout known as The Murph. A couple “New #Legion Murphers” made an appearance and crushed it. (Jar-Jar and Twinkle …
13 PAX cut through the soupy Columbia air to great the day. When planning this workout, I thought that using bricks the entire time was a novel idea. It quickly became clear that was only good in theory. In reality, it sucked. Conditions: Muggy The Thang: Get Bricks (use bricks for all possible exercises) 3 min …
Rarely does an AO make a request of a visiting Q… but that doesn’t keep YHC from continuing to ask just because sometimes you get some funny answers. McLovin (Yes, he’s to blame), upon being asked that question, responded “180 Proof #DRP”. Looking for something new, this Q took that as a challenge. #TheThang below is the …
Its time for the 2015 Hurricane Hike in Camden. This is a great opportunity for any Ruckers to get some distance under weight and also enjoy some good Food, music and other entertainment. Website: http://www.sg.sc.gov/Hike.html The Website says that the Guard needs to be there by 7:15 for weigh in so we will as well. …
12 PAX rolled out of the sack for a hump day run. #Stumble numbers are picking up as we are consistently hitting a double digit PAX count three times a week. YHC is honored to be a part of this growing AO. Pipeline pulled a 5K race out of the hat for his Q on Monday, a spot typically …
T-claps to the pax for taking on a new route this morning and only getting minimally lost.

Adrian returned to SCORE for a birthday beatdown. YHC’s oldest daughter turned 9 today. What better way to celebrate than to wake before dawn and do some bear crawls with some friends? While my better half tended to some excitable children clamoring for donuts in the early morning hours, YHC worked through a solid workout …
One of the joys of serving as AOQ includes setting up the Q schedule. At #Thunder (a land filled with one #LarryBird after another), scheduling the Q’s is a lot of fun with one #Snotwoggler after another. However, one of the responsibilities of AOQ is to step in when the schedule goes a little haywire. YHC …
8 men took the early shift this Saturday. Here’s what happened: Disclaimer The Thang: Fast mosey out of the front parking lot, left on Adger. Here’s the Route we took Stop at Adger Cassina intersection and circle up. Instructions: We will do 10 Merkins, 10 Squats, and 10 Flutter Kicks (R+L=1) at each intersection we …

9 determined PAX posted to #Legion this morning at 5:15 a.m. for YHC’s Q- the largest gathering since the #Launch of the hour-long, weekday workout held at Hampton Park in #F3Columbia. This being the first week of the month, YHC had planned on hitting core and cardio due to the #MonthlyMurph being on deck, come …
As the faithful gathered behind DHS and Adrian trotted off into the dark with cones for something diabolical, most were thankful YHC had the #Brickpile Q for the morning while he was scheduled to lead SCORE. It’s always interesting to see who, at the last minute, decides which Q they’re willing to endure for 45 …
Between running a 5k, getting stopped by the police and visiting another AO…..it was good times. YHC thinks in the future running the #battleloop will be left out. Get enough nightmares already from that place, don’t need running through the loop in the dark to be one of them. Great turnout this morning. The Thang- …
YHC Had the opportunity to Co-Q with Chewy on his VQ, and is simply posting the balance of this BB for Chewy until he gets log-in access, after which I expect him to burn up the website with posts. 20 Pax posted this morning at the Woodshed for a trip down memory lane. YHC celebrated …
11 pax entered the gloom of Swampfox for some block work with emphasis on form. Instead of having the whole pax do the same reps with blocks, YHC wanted the pax to focus on form and complete either 15, 20, or 25 reps. Some blocks are heavier than others so we rotated around the circle …

26 Pax, 11 for #TheBull & 15 for #TheBullsEye, posted this morning in the gloom and #GotBetter. A little surprise greeted the Pax today as a small portion of stairs and entry near the middle stair tower were taped off. No fear though…the Pax slid right on by through the “construction.” And the humidity…the humidity was …
4 pax rolled out of their cozy beds for a hot and humid speed day at #Ramble. The concept was simple–A 4 mile double loop–mile 1 and 4 run slowly and mile 2 and 3 run at 5k race pace or faster. All four pushed hard and performed well. COT BOM
The weather was slightly less humid (though not by much) for a Monday-edition of #Amble. Today the pax were able to choose their own adventure for the last half of the run: The Thang: Depart DHS Cut over to Devine Cross Devine Right onto Wheat St. Take Wheat to Saluda Hill From there, PAX could …
I witnessed something powerful at The Mission on Saturday. One of our faithful pax enrolled in the recovery program shared with me that he almost walked out the door of the recovery program earlier in the week. This guy is pretty quiet, but after some persistence he admitted to me that he was feeling guilting …
After being the sole Stumble representative at the Hot Summer’s Night 5K on Friday (and y’all missed a great party at Promo’s after), YHC decided to bring the race home to the AO with a Stumble 5K. The idea is to run this a few times a year, at semi-regular intervals, in order to track …
Weather: Mid-70s humid with a slight breeze The Thang: Variable distance options for those who arrived. YHC planned a 6 mile loop to take advantage of multiple opportunities for hydration with option to complete a second loop for 12 miles. Here’s the loop: Leave Dreher and take a right on Ott to Heyward Right on …

YHC humbly submits this BB on behalf of FroYo, who, as you will see, brought the pain to the party and absolutely rocked his VQ. It’s awful that only 3 pax experienced this. Don’t miss his next Q. The rest of this BB is all his. Four dudes meet in a parking lot, 7am hits, …
Tank Top Thursday, a #Thunder tradition unlike any other, did not disappoint July 30th. Much gratitude to our own Paperboy for giving us a new spin on the typical American Flag tank: Tassles. Also props to McLovin for his mid workout nature call. 19 pax total for a tough mid summer beat down. Conditions: 80ish …
10 Men came to Battle for a ferocious #BeatDown from Chaser and YHC. We did some serious hill work and then a brutal Chelsea to finish off the hour of pain. Hawg, a former FNG at Battle brought his own FNG to the party. Welcome JoeLee. Conditions: high 70’s with low humidity, for a …

It’s a shame more people haven’t discovered the abundant opportunities at the PowderKeg! Huge parking lots, stairs, benches, bricks, tires, paved roads, trails, and hills galore. 8 men including Minion and Wingback from F3 Columbia would get a sample of several of these. Let’s go!
