It has been almost a year since YHC has been able to Post on a consistent basis. For the past year work has interfered. YHC was lucky to post 2x a month over the Summer. Well things have changed a bit and now I’m able to post on the more consistent basis. PETA has been …
Wow, 5 years! 5 years ago yesterday (7/19/2016) YHC made one of the best decision of his life and posted for the 1st time. A lot has happen over the last 5 years. Some great things and some terrible. Many situations that YHC was very glad to have the love and support of the PAX. …
Conditions: Beautiful BOM Disclaimer Not a professional, modify when needed 7 PAX showed up ready to put in some work!

Conditions: Beautiful Pledge of Allegiance BOM Disclaimer Not a professional, modify when needed Well, today is “Star Wars Day”. YHC was going to come up with a really cool, nerdy Star Wars themed workout, but that didn’t happen. We ended up spelling STAR WARS and SKYWALKER with the first letter of an exercise. Nonetheless the PAX were …
Conditions: Beautiful Pledge of Allegiance BOM Disclaimer Not a professional, modify when needed YHC decided to change it up a little bit and warm up in the parking lot. Everyone was a little confused at first but it went just fine…. I guess. Halfway through warm-up YHC realized that the whiteboard with the majority of the work …
Looks like the rain has finally stopped!! The field was soaked so YHC decided that we would not be getting on the ground. YHC did not want to be wet and cold! The majority of the PAX were thankful that we did not get wet. Katniss on the other hand brought up that in the …
YHC wanted to give the PAX that were unable to make it to Convergence an opportunity to complete the workout. Let’s just say that those who made it were more than happy to get to do it again. Also, those who led now have the chance of doing the entire workout! Except Ebert, the fartsack …
YHC set the alarm for a little earlier today to get in a Rucklite prior to bells. The alarm went off and the urge to fartsack was strong. YHC resisted and put in 3 miles. Several of the PAX are out of town or had to work, so we new the numbers would be low. …
Well, 4 years ago YHC made one of the best decisions ever and woke up and joined the men of Snake Pit for YHC’s first boot camp. YHC is a better man today than 4 years ago. F3 has helped YHC through my M battling cancer, ups and downs of life and 6 surgeries over …
YHC has been struggling for sometime now physically. Many of the exercises are heavily modified but the fellowship and support keeps bringing me back even if I can’t do several of the exercises. Luckily for me today is infusion day! Hopefully I will be feeling much better in the days to come. YHC knows the …
Today was YHC’s first Q since we reunited The Stand and Snake Pit. It’s only been a month and YHC can see that the PAX are happy that we have returned.

Conditions: 48 and lovely Pledge of Allegiance Thanks Emmy BOM Disclaimer COP (The Entire workout) The Thang YHC decided to take a Q that Drisoket had lead here at The Stand and do it again with a slight change. He had us do 19 reps of each exercise just so YHC could spend the entire WO trying …
2 years ago on 10/5 The Stand was born. It has been a great 2 years. What better way to celebrate than to revisit the first workout ever at this beautiful AO. Ebert lead it 2 years ago, so it was only fitting for him to bring the pain again! He slightly modified the original …
Well, it is that time of the year again, YHC’s birthday! Not sure how to feel about this one. Its the big 4-0!! YHC dusted off the the same beatdown from the past 2 years and has added one rep each year. In the past, the PAX have really “loved” this one. Last year Ebert …
YHC pulled up and to an empty parking lot about 15 minutes before “kickoff.” YHC noticed a car that he had not seen in awhile pulling in. What do you know, the one and only Buzz Saw hopped out. YHC immediately knew that the PAX form better be on point. If not HIM would quickly …
7 PAX arrived some eager, some not so eager and some clueless about today’s shenanigans. A quick run down of Iron PAX challenge week 1 workout was relayed to the PAX. Work was done!! For the record Bonnie Blairs are terrible! Conditions: 70 Prayer- In a rush we forgot to start out with prayer Pledge– Forgot …
YHC signed up several weeks back toQ at C.A.T. with the hopes of being MUCH further along into the recovery process. Unfortunately, YHC is barely able to participate in many of the exercises due to RA slowing the healing process while causing a great deal of pain. YHC is praying that the recently started IV …
YHC would love to be able to celebrate 3 years. Unfortunately YHC’s body is not up to the challenge. Multiple right knee surgeries and one rheumatoid arthritis diagnosis have taken its toll. This last year has been full of modifying workouts and missing workouts. YHC recently started yet another new medication in the form of …

YHC has been Q’ing somewhere all week and will wrap it tomorrow at Python. YHC did not intend to Q everyday but somehow was already signed up to lead most everyday so YHC filled in the blanks and picked up 2 more Qs. That said, YHC was already signed up to lead at Boneyard. YHC …
YHC was unable to Q yesterday because his AO was doing it’s monthly AMRAP workout “Sausage Factory” YHC did not plan on leading most everyday this week but looked at the Q schedule and quickly realized he was already leading Wander on Monday, The Stand on Tuesday, Serpent Wednesday, Boneyard Saturday and Python on Sunday. …
Today starts day 2 of 6 that YHC is Q’ing this week. Which may not be a good thing as YHC is smack in the middle of an RA flare. The off day YHC will be participating in the one, the only “Sausage Factory”! If you have not participated in Sausage Factory yet you should …

Conditions: Cold, but not near as cold as yesterday Disclaimer: Brainiac YHC originally signed up to Q today but made a last minute decision to let AWOL lead since he does not use social media or the internet for that matter. We went on the hunt for a missing PAX that technically HC’d. The pace …

Thanks Ken Doll!!! YHC decided to Q for what will possibly be the last time at Python for awhile. Shoulder surgery is just around the corner. YHC has been watching Anchors page for backblast to get some fresh ideas. Luckily Ken Doll happened to Q there the other day and posted a backblast (#LeadersLead). YHC …
YHC wanted to lead the men of The Stand one last time before shoulder surgery. YHC is recovering from knee surgery and several of the exercises are things that help strengthen the quad, knee and calf. YHC ended up having to modify more than he thought as the knee was pretty sore after therapy yesterday. …

With such low numbers and several PAX DR we almost punted and moved everyone to Snake Pit for another famous beatdown from EBERT. At the last minute Kid Sister surprisingly chimed in that he was on his way in so we need to decide quickly. Dead Stick suggested since there were 3 we stay at …
Three PAX show up on this beautiful Mother’s Day morning with the hopes of getting better. YHC arrived to find a basically empty parking lot as no one showed for SL. Although, Ebert was putting in some early work by doing some farmers carries with bells around the parking lot. YHC should have joined since …
After being gone for the past 2 weeks taking on the Gauntlet, YHC was ready to get back The Stand.

*****Posted on behalf of Icarus***** So YHC came to this Q thinking that we could run around a school with a block on our shoulders shoulder. YHC found out this was not going to work, so we improvised. Improvisation can be a beautiful thing; in this case it got the job done with some farts, fence hopping …
YHC has been wanting to visit C.A.T for awhile and has not been able to “find the time” to get over there. What better way than to sign up to Q! YHC wanted to keep it P200 “friendly” so minimal strain and stress was put on the lower body. YHC can’t say the same about …
