Weather was excellent, 60ish and dry. After a couple weeks chasing the Gauntlet followed by a week of travel and other conflicts, this was the first two post week for me at TurningPoint in nearly a month. Tuesday was me and AOQ ET. At 5 am this morning it was ET and I again the …
There are a few infamous songs in the fitness community with repetitive lyrics. Thunderstruck and Roxanne came to mind are absolutely terrible. YHC did a little searching on the internets and found a few more and prescribed some exercises to them. The Sturgill Simpson song doesn’t have a repetitive lyric…I just like and decided to …
The Thang: Intro, Disclaimer, Prayer and Lord’s Prayer, Pledge of Allegiance This was YHC’s first Q since coming off injured reserve from eye surgery. There was a lot of rust to shake off.

Tuesday was a humid day at the Shank (and every other AO in the Midlands). Good golly, was it sticky. SL was no fun but was a necessary task for the day. 5 dudes were fast, YHC was not. Upon completion of said SL, YHC asked the pax if they preferred blocks or not for …
In a couple days I will be 45 so i am just as close to 60 as I am 30. The pax showed some love with the usual mumble chatter and flatulence sounds. I am truly thankful for this group even with all of their gasses. YHC was excited to start the day off with …
Saturday’s ITG are a blast. The Q sheet was open, my sister-in-law was on town, what an opportunity for a morning out with the guys. YHC jumped at the chance to Q and all the pax enjoyed it. Tad humid, perfect day for some block work. Quite a number of these dudes showed up for …

Three pax showed up for a very full Stride Light, intermingled with some Second F. 5:30 came early with 8 brave soles ready to face the gloom together.

It was Shawshank’s 10 year anniversary & keeping with the theme in F3 Lexington the last 2 weeks with The Gauntlet, YHC decided that there was no better way to celebrate than with an AMRAP WO.

Week 2 of The Gauntlet kicked off this AM at The Viper. If you like stairs, you’ll love this one. The Viper boasts 4 sets of stairs leading down to the WKHS track. It’s a non-stop run up and down the steps with some exercises thrown in. The Beep Test at the beginning is always …
Week 1 of The Gauntlet concluded this AM at Cromp. It’s been a grind but that’s the point. PUSH THE ROCK! Cromp is a combo of Stomp (run group at RBHS – at least it once was), and Crypt (bootcamp at RBHS). Do some exercises and run a loop until time runs out. Always a …

When Hemingway and YHC were putting together the Gauntlet schedule, we both independently had CAT5 on the list even though it went away years back when CAT moved to Lakeside Middle and became Junction. We both felt it was one of the better AMRAPs in our region. The original CAT5 has blockwork but, since those …
Gilbert America flexed its muscle this AM as 32 men posted for Day 4 of The Gauntlet. A few of us started a high intensity workout on Thursday’s at Tomahawk a few months back. Not that other bootcamps aren’t high intensity but 150 burpees and running up and down Goat Hill before, during, and after …
