YHC likes to come up with a couple workout routines and take them to different AOs when Qing. Admittedly cut-n-pasting the back blast is a time saver. When those routines become stale, new routines are figured out. To make light of this I printed out a back blast, crumbled it up, and placed it in …
This morning was another accountability Q for me. Knowing that the P200 will be here before I know it, I was faced with a conflict between my need to get serious about my running training and my strong desire to not run. right now, if I’m honest. the best way to get me out of …
The Graveyard PAX are always willing to work hard, and today was no exception. The cold weather may have impacted the overall numbers, but the men who made it out were most definitely up for the plan laid out before them. The wind threatened to make us all miserable, but it was only cold for …

YHC was expecting a lunar marvel near the end of our run/ruck this cold morning but alas the moon was “just full.” Maybe Puck was off on timing or maybe it was NASA. Let’s blame NASA. Either way we had plenty of light to guide us around the Bernard/Bozard Mountain loop. Glad to have Doodle …

YHC’s first trip to Surge! Brought a few new tricks from the GrowRuck weekend to broaden the repertoire and maybe even help the PAX in a few other departments as well. #DirtyMacDeuce was in the gloom, ℅ CornStache’s segment of the Saturday morning Brickpile convergence. I’m sure the dive-bombers will stick around and the “crawling …

The call to the bullpen came around lunchtime yesterday. Scotch had an early morning appointment, so YHC answered the call. It may come as a shock to many of you, but YHC had no plan and decided to wing it. Hard work by all in attendance this morning. Here’s how it shook out… Conditions: Mid …

14 pax defeated the fartsack for a new edition of The Grinder. In the fall of 2016 Gravedigger brought Ambush an AMRAP that we have loved to hate. We have talked about changing it up and on the Ambush message board last night Paper Jam started the conversation again. Moist called for burpees at all …
Several of the Wander faithful participated in GrowRuck this weekend so a call went out last night for a finger-pointer. YHC needed some self-accountability but also wanted these newly patched GRTs to rest up before getting back in the gloom. Banjo apparently needed no rest. Glad he decided to take an extra dose of the …
**** Posted on behalf of Cheddar 35 PAX came out for a Cheddar Q at Graveyard to enjoy some friendly competition with flying Frisbees.

YHC is always humbled by the PAX need to give out mumblechatter during the epic Q’s he provides, and this one was no exception. With Notebook giving his opinion and Uncle Ron checking form, especially YHC’s, this one had plenty of mumblechatter to go around. This Q was especially honorable since it was YHC’s birthday. …

YHC was already smoked. Due to work issues I could not attend Grow school or the Tough to happen later at night. So Dawnstrike, and Brickpile convergence, then over to F3TheMission for an Enterprise beat down. I say that to honor my brothers who posted with me and pushed me. As an OGM graduate, F3 …
YHC had decided January 1, that he needed to lead more in workouts rather than be lead so he decided to Contact Mr. Juice and get his name on the board for January. Not know when YHC signed up for the Q that it was the same day as Dozer’s 4 year aniversary. Dozer has …
Tuesday night, saw Treadmill talking about Bear-Crawling at Crusade the next morning if nobody took the Q. So, we just couldn’t have any of that. So, why not VQ Crusade.

Weather – clear and cold (29 degrees by the trusty automobile) YHC made the mistake of saying that we played Froccer instead of futbol. The phone has learned that Froccer is a real word, and usually has it as a choice of usual words once I hit “F”. Once 5am hit, we had a quick …
It’s been WAY too long since I’ve been out to see the boys at Crypt. At one time this place was a second home to me. It never fails to provide a serious beatdown, and wanted to prove I was up to the challenge this AO demands. I only wish it would’ve been at bit …

Jan 26th, 2016, Detention was launched. Only a few short weeks before that, Ken Doll said to YHC, “I’m good with it. Gauge interest, and make it happen.” Like every other AO in the F3 Nation, it’s been responsible for changing lives of a solid group of men. YHC is proud to wake up and …

15 men defied the fartsack this morning and posted at Graveyard for a leg day with YHC.

I’m thankful to have been invited to Q at one of Lexington’s newest AOs, SURGE. I was excited to see that temps were going to be in the high 50s/low 60s which was sure to bring out some pretty decent numbers. Unfortunately, the threat of rain apparently kept some of the regulars away. At least …

Saluda has had very rough weather since its launch, but they continue to post and slowly grow. Today it was warmer, but wet, and got wetter during the workout. YHC continues to be impressed by the work done by our brothers to the west. Now they just need a name and to get on twitter!!! …

After delaying YHC’s Q for 2 weeks I finally came back, fully prepared with my weinke in hand… until I locked it and my keys in my car. After having my anxiety amplified by this situation, I got on with it, found my voice, and got the PAX at Detention moving. Conditions: 63, cloudy …
The YHC’s knew they could not fool anyone into believing that “Hub” was as actual PAX. Well, we did end up fooling Wino, but that isn’t hard to do. Wino told me this weekend that melting Jellybeans over your nipples will prevent chafing. You really need to check your sources dude. YHC’s did end up …

YHC made a commitment late last year that I’d visit each AO in Lexington at least once and Q at each AO in Lexington at least once. I want to get out and put in work with all of the men that make this the best region in F3 Nation. So where better to start …
As stated many times before, one of the best things about the #CAT5 AMRAP, is the flexibility in the layout and direction of it. One thing that never changes is that it is hard and it will suck. The conditions were CAT5 like today with wind and rain. We took advantage of the opportunity and …
6 Pax decided the rainy weather wasnt going to stop them from starting their day off correctly. As I laid in bed this morning, the rain woke me up as it whipped the side of my house. At 4:00 the weather app said 100% chance of rain, and it was right. 5:00 was supposed to …

On yet another chilly morning, the hearty souls who beat the fartsack and made it to Turning Point were met with a promise – we won’t be cold for long. Once we started, I think that promise was kept. It was definitely a morning for budding bromances. Between marathon talk with “ButtSeco” and the budding …
It was great seeing 20 PAX brave the cold and resist the fartsack to join in on YHC’s VQ. After a rough start, YHC got the count going, but the PAX knew what to do. Next time, it my be worth it to actually pay attention to the videos that Ken Doll and Cheers send. …

Self-discipline and accountability are huge factors when posting in the Gloom on days like these. Simply getting to the AO on cold mornings can be the harder thing.

YHC has always believed in making the most of his AOQ duties by asking other AOQs or PAX from other AOs to make the trip over to Graveyard and Q there. Keeping the AO fresh with workouts from other AO PAX goes along way in my opinion. But, that also means when other AOs Pay …
It was a pretty cold morning at CAT, but 4 faithful showed up to get better. How cold was it? We had a frozen lift gate, and a key fob that wouldn’t work, bricks that were stuck together, and an unnamed PAX that decided to warm up his car before the count-o-rama. So, yeah, it …
