Fat Angie Sandwich with a Side of Curse Words

Convergence at The Roost
11 PAX from both Roost and Speedtrap converged this morning for some stadium and shoulder work that left all wanting more.

The Golden Tones Return
With recent work and travel keeping YHC off the Q sheet for a little while it was good to get back out there and lead the Roost PAX with YHC’s melodic cadence tones that always gets ’em going.

Conditions: Finally, a cold morning-34 degrees. The Thang: 8 Roost PAX started their week with a little concoction put together by YHC and Money Penny when we, apparently, had too much time on our hands.

Fruit of the Looms at The Roost
5 PAX started their Thursday off right by showing up at The Roost. Despite a picture of the new Roost “toys” that was sent out by YHC last night, these guys still showed up. There was a lot of debate and worry, especially from Dirtbag, that YHC was prepared to show up with the “elastic …

I’m a Man, I’m 40!
Conditions: 77 and the air was THICK… 30 PAX rolled into The Roost for a mini convergence of sorts for YHC’s last Q as a “thirty-something.” Appreciate you fellas travelling across the tracks to help me kiss my 30’s good-bye.

Dirty Dozen Comes to Speedtrap
Conditions: Humid and not a breath of air The Thang: 15 PAX trickled into the parking lot at Crooked Creek this morning without a clue of what was to come. This one looked awesome on paper. In reality, it was terrible. Disclaimer and mosey down to the cheese grater. COP: SSH x 20 IC TTT …
100…200…300
12 PAX rolled into a foggy Speedtrap for a 45 minute session of pain that left everyone smoked. YHC was excited for my first Q since GoRuck (and was glad to have my shoes on). In an effort to bring something new to the his fellow Speedtrappers, YHC dug deep into the workout archive for …
It’s ‘Bout To Get Real
21 PAX rolled into the chilly gloom at Speedtrap this morning for a little GoRuck training courtesy of Toothpick. During the COP they were quickly greeted with YHC’s squeaky pre-pubescent voice that came from last Saturday’s SnowRuck training on the Lake Murray Dam. I’m glad I could provide some entertainment as I feebly attempted to …
Logs and Some GoRuckin’ Fun at Speedtrap
17 PAX were unaware that Speedtrap now had some new “toys” in the form of big, heavy logs (thanks Napalm). YHC decided that it was time to try them out (after the obligatory PT test of course). The mumble chatter was sporadic as we lunged, carried & merkin’d our way through another GoRuck workout at …
Speedtrap Gets GoRuck Friendly
53 degrees…perfect rucking weather. 20 PAX posted for the 2nd GoRuck friendly workout at Speedtrap. YHC tried to focus today’s workout on legs and shoulders (in case you couldn’t tell) as I have a sneaking suspicion that we’ll be using these in a few weeks. If you are doing GoRuck on 11/21 GET TIME UNDER …
Brick House Bag o’ Tricks
Conditions: 61 degrees, beautiful morning for a workout 14 PAX posted this morning at Speedtrap to show some brick love to Dirtbag for his VQ.

Don’t Forget to Flip-Flop!
17 PAX rolled into Speedtrap this morning looking for their Hall Pass-well…they got it!

Thursday Morning Lights
With the start to the college football season upon us, YHC thought it was time for a little friendly competition amongst the PAX at Speedtrap.
