On March 28, 2015 a new kind of AO was formed in downtown Cola, somebody came up with it’s name-The Mission. The familiar F3 mission statement applied: To plant, grow and serve small workout groups for the invigoration of the male community leadership. What made The Mission a “new kind” of AO was the male …
Last week at Thunder, Beads led us in a devotion about not fearing discomfort, that pain brings growth. So today we pushed through the pain with high reps against the same muscle groups. There was much grumbling and groaning. And eleven men got better. The weather was fine. A beautiful, cool, SC winter morning. The …
YHC was back on the scene at Hammer this morning to lead the PAX in a fun-filled beatdown. Upon arrival to Satchel Ford, it was evident that the ‘light up the neighborhood’ push had not been fulfilled. The roads were as dark as ever. Before bringing the pain, YHC had to acknowledge the interesting gear choices …
Conditions: Mid-40s, low humidity, perfect to keep cool through the workout. Start with the disclaimer: YHC is not a professional and encouraged everyone to work hard, at their pace and modify where necessary. The Thang: Mosey around the AO for a half-lap to the pull-up bars. 5 pull-ups, pull up to top of the bar …
Since the fated (but not our fault) locking down of the #Brickpile AO, today’s #downPAINment was strictly off the reservation. And by that I mean we didn’t do a darn thing on Dreher property… not that there’s anything wrong with that. There’s plenty to see and do in Heathwood and the #Brickpile pax tried to …
12 Pax post at #Woodshed in the gloom and #gotbetter. This morning was the latest opportunity to test yourself, against both yourself and the Pax, in #TheAxe 3.0. Strong effort by all the Pax as many times #gotfaster. #TClaps to FroYo who left the AO, Champion! #workwasdone Conditions: 48 Degrees & Ideal The Thang: Loop Around the …
We got it back to double digits today at Swampfox. The 10 that arrived experienced a good old fashioned leg day burnout. Conditions: 50 degrees – just about perfect. The Thang: SSH x 10 IC Russian Twist x 10 IC Flutters x 10IC Merkins x 10 IC 5 burpee OYO X 3 Leave AO, cross …
YHC had a whole weekend to plan a route for a rare Monday #Ramble Q. Now I don’t typically do much posting on Mondays, but Borat is such a baller that I couldn’t say no. That and YHC has put on some serious Lb’s over the holiday period. YHC has noticed that run groups have …
Conditions: 50 Six Pax started their week off with some good ole fashioned hills this morning. Route: Leave Trenholm Plaza heading west on Forest Drive to Willingham, R on Willingham to Atascadero, L on Atascadero up the hill and across Forest and down and back on Greenhill, R on Forest to Clemson, Right on Clemson …
6 PAX arrived at the Castle to get better. Based on YHC’s research, January 23 wasn’t that popular from a history perspective. Having said that, the A-Team debuted on this day back in 1983, so despite Qing without 4 pounds of gold, I tried to channel my best B.A. Baracus and used 5 pound bricks. …
