Thanks to the 20 strong for posting to the fourth (or is it 5th) annual Thunder 12 Days of Christmas workout. As usually we ran through the 12 days workout, but this year mixed in some planks and flutters along the way and had time for a bonus 13th day. Conditions: Typical Columbia Christmas weather, …
11 pax braved the 65 degree weather and invading college track team for a pretty gruesome circuit series at Emily Douglas. Bonus points to Cess for for channeling the Backstreet Boys when YHC warned the pax not to let their bodies rock during a plank sequence. The Thang: COP SSH IC x25, lil baby …
18 Pax brought all they could on the second installment of Mortgage Week. Part 1 was delivered masterfully by Subprime, focusing mainly on the field and the Amphitheater. YHC decided to use the other Thunder specialties: blocks, Emily Douglas, and the Hills. Conditions: 60 degrees, really pretty pleasant. The Thang: Cop: Ssh IC x30, Merkins …

It was cold outside, that was the first thing YHC noticed this morning. The second was that the SwampFox Pax still bring it. It was great to be back with you guys. YHC was nursing a sore shoulder. So we had to go light on the merkins, thus heavier on the legs and abs. Appreciate you …
YHC was greeted with a warm and quite humid welcome. Over the years I have realized that things are just harder here. The workouts never disappoint, the PAX is always ready to work, even the blocks are tougher…probably due to being constantly water logged. Just walking across the field was good mud run prep. …
YHC is a Huge fan of #Tanktopthursday. This is one #Thunder tradition that I hope stands the test of time. I think its no accident that we seem to get a spike in attendance on Thursdays. The title of this back blast is a tribute to one such tank. For more information see Boris. Conditions: …
Eight Pax took on the first cold-ish morning of the year for a 4.2 mile run through Shandon, Wales Garden, USC Campus, and Five points. Pace was fairly brisk, 7:40 for YHC, and I was bringing up the rear. Good to be back with you guys this morning. Conditions: 41 degrees.

YHC returned to lead the SwampFox Pax for the first time in a while. It was good to see they still bring it with the best of em. 9 Pax posted for park trip with some work along the way. Conditions: Hot, Wet, Summer The Thang: COP Baby arm circles x20 both ways High knees …
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 …
QIC: Carry the slab around the bases, stopping at each for side work. Each base has an orange cone marking it. PAX: Cone? I don’t see any cone. Are there cones out there? Turns out there’s Dark, Really Dark, and then there’s Swampfox at 0545. The 23 Pax were undetered however and struck out in to …
