10-20-30 Farmer’s Square
Well, that was gross. 73 degrees and wet, wet, wet. So nasty even Boris had to cancel a promised showing.
Growruck 24
First, thank you to Billy Bob for being persistent in asking Cola PAX to join him in this event. I know many men have given a good, full summary of the event and I appreciate them taking on that task. For me, this event was a chance to train for something, again, which I haven’t …
Countdown Beatdown
Another hot, humid morning greeted the PAX this AM at the corner of Bull and Blossom. 7 men did a countdown and prayed for the breeze to come back every time it died down. The Thang: Today’s modification of the Bull gave the PAX options. You could choose Merkins, Big Boys or Squats as your …
Trojan Bull
The Bull was packed with ready-for-battle PAX this AM. 24 men (one of them particularly young…and energetic) showed up and had every stairwell filled for 45 minutes. It was the first time for some including 14-year-old Beast Boy who led the pack (by a lot) the entire time. It was said he might have spilled …
Partner Blocks
Short and to the point today. Mens got work to do. 17 PAX finally arrived (SO many stragglers) this AM on a perfect-weather morning. YHC gave them what they deserved. COP – SSH x 20 IC Merkins x 10 IC Squats x 20 IC Follow the Q to Emily Douglas park, partner up and retrieve …
Cool and Lovely
The conditions this morning were just like YHC, cool and lovely. 8 PAX showed up in the mist for a standing tradition at Amble – the Blossom St out-and-back. Simply run out for 20 to 22 minutes, turn around and come back. It allows all the PAX to get whatever speed and/or distance they want …
Beta Blockers
A brisk morning met the PAX this AM which was a delightful change from the Summer heat. The small, motley crew came prepared to do some hard things so YHC obliged with the following: Ruck mosey to the back by the brickpile cage. Rucks off for some warm up: 15 SSH IC 10 Through the …
Beta Leg Day
What a beautiful day for a workout! 60 and PERFECT! YHC pulled up to Old Glory waiving and felt inspired to put it on the PAX that were willing to do the early thang. And as the clock struck 6AM the PAX gleefully took off. The Thang: Warm up lap around the school to the …
Say My Name
YHC got called up from the bullpen by Church Fire on 2-day notice and pulled an oldie but goodie out of the the rolladex. Columbo even had an FNG (who showed up 5 minutes late after stopping at Walmart to buy workout clothes, first…) for YHC to harass. Good looking out, Columbo! Here’s the hurt …
Up and Over!
It was a clear black night, a clear white moon Betamax was on the streets, trying to consume… the Gloom. It was a beautiful morning for meeting 5 other PAX for a sweet, intimate, partner-filled experience. The conditions – 60 and clear (aka … heaven) The Thang: Mosey to the back lot and circle up …
Stairway to Nowhere
YHC woke up to a torrential downpour and was fairly certain there would be NOBODY at Thunder this AM. As always, the Thunder PAX never disappoint and showed up in droves in the hopes of being the one…the one to get a donut! YHC had made the PAX aware that the reward for the best mumblechatter …
Beta Block Baptism
It was a BEAUTIFUL morning to put away the new blocks that Beads generously brought to the AO. Apparently, the Thunder PAX have used their thunderous power to be terribly abusive to the equipment and replacements were needed to support the massive numbers that regularly appear at one of the most hallowed of AO’s. It …
This Saturday Only, CRAB VS BEAR!!
After a year and a couple of weeks since YHC first confusingly found my way to Dawn Strike and F3, YHC finally had the Q at a boot camp, appropriately at the #funnerestAO there is. As with many things in my life, God guided my meandering, lost-self to F3 through many random events to that …
Dora the Bellsplorer
YHC went searching through the annals of Iron Yard history and completely STOLE today’s workout. Don’t even feel bad about it… The conditions, perfect. The PAX, more than capable of showing how work was done. Warm-up went something like this: SSH x25 Imperial walkers x20 Baby arm circles – x15 and x15 Overhead claps – …
Better Late Than Never
YHC two-wheeled into the parking lot just in time to see the PAX running away. Apparently, this whole starting-on-time-thing is something F3 has decided to start taking seriously. Who knew. The conditions were slightly cool but nothing to complain about…not that that’s ever stopped YHC. A cool 50-ish degrees and dry ground met the PAX …
Leg Day!
It was a perfect morning for work at Thunder. YHC noticed too many chicken legs coming out of the shorts and knew what needed to be done today. The Thang Warm-up lap around the track and circle up for a brief COP 20 SSH IC 20 Mountain Climbers IC 10 Merkins IC Line up on the side …
Dodgeball Block Party
Brisk Saturday morning 6 rock solid men took on The “Dawnstrike”. Very little mumble chatter from the PAX. Locked in and focused (somewhat), it was time to put in some work. Temp was approximately 54°, cool and a little breezy. Workout Warm-up: Group started with a full football type gasser (across field and back, x2) …
10-20-30 Farmer’s Square
Well, that was gross. 73 degrees, wet and rainy…and wet. It was so gross that Boris had to cancel a promised showing. YHC didn’t anticipate as many Thunder faithful as we had but, as always, those Thunder boys have zero you-know-whats to give when it comes to crappy conditions. The Thang: Mosey to the park …
Say My Name, Say My Name
When YHC found out he was on the Q approximately 12 hours before the workout he headed to the Lexicon and got the idea of some narcissistic work. Using the letters of the PAX-given name led to some new ideas…and some crappy ones. 66 degrees and as much humidity as you can stand should have …
