Shawshank Takes on the 10K Push Up Challenge

14 Shawshank pax conquered the F3SC GORUCK Challenge so Grave Digger felt like we needed another challenge (and another patch). He used #meanmeanstride via Twitter to challenge Shawshank (any other pax) to the 10,000 Push Up Challenge in December. That’s roughly 323 per day. YHC started tackling the challenge Monday, 12/1 and realized it takes …

A Crypt Divided

Last time YHC led a Gamecock-centric bootcamp, Texas A&M embarrassed us at Williams Brice so I decided against theming this workout. Didn’t even wear anything garnet. The big game was discussed among all the merkins and other fun stuff, no trash talk though. Goes to show that neither fan base is really confident that their …

A Boneyard Splashdown – Because Synchronized Swimming is Really That Awkward

At 5:01am QIC’s eyes popped open and head popped off his pillow with an audible “OH CRAP!” ringing throughout the apartment scaring the life out of his M.

4 people that had no idea the GORUCK was happening came out to Foxhole to #getbetter.  After several months of being a regular PAX, YHC decided it was time to Q again.  So I decided we have the #bull and the #reaper, it was time for the #Highway (Spin off from A1A, get it?) Weather: Really …

Too Stay Warm or Too #GetBetter, That is the Question!!!! Why Not Both???

After seeing a temp of 31 on his vehicle t-stat, YHC had to fight the urge to turn off his vehicle and return to the warmth of his homestead and climb back into his warm bed. With the GoRuck 3 days away, “taper”-sacking would be more than understood but knowing though that he needed to …

Frozen fingers & toes, PT Test, and Phonebooth Ab workout = Totally sucks big time

16 Pax (incl two FNGs – Chowder & First Base) braved the frozen gloom at Depot for PT Test and an Ab workout with YHC. Usually, it doesn’t take long to warm up on a cold once you get moving, but today definitely proved that theory wrong. It might have been the fact that we …
