So YHC hasn’t posted regularly in a while so what better way to drag my sorry arse out of the sack than signing up to Q. 7 other hooligans greeted YHC for what turned out to be a throwback Q from yesteryear. As per usual, shenanigans were aplenty and hard work was done. Here’s how …
7 PAX posted for Turning Point with the promise of an ankle-friendly beat down. Plans changed when we headed to the block pile to find the gate granting access was locked for the first time ever. With some slight modification we still were able to get after it pretty good. Weather- 50 or so The …
Last Halloween(ish) YHC wanted to bring something a little more creative and more seasonal than the YHC’s typical Q. Thus the Halloween Spooktacular was born.

It’s been a while since YHC has joined the pax of Turning Point for a beat down. Other than seeing some at Clash or the rare Saturdays at Graveyard, it’s been hard to catch up with these HIMs. No better way to catch up than by going to them and getting on the Q sheet …
Shawshank has a plethora of toys at its disposal. YHC was ripping into some meatloaf and decided which ones to use. Tuesday morning would show up and the gang would play with blocks and bricks. The morning was beautiful, nice temp, moderate humidity. The most surprising feature of all was a dry field…at Shawshank. That’s …
Time to wake them ABs up!!! This morning we focused on the core while getting in some Merkins, Squats, and stretching. Stretching is something we all need to do a little (maybe a lot) more, so I try to throw it in here and there during bootcamps. Weather was nice, of course humid and muggy, …
When YHC first came to Surge in June of 2020, I had no idea what to expect. But what was observed was a group of men, who joked, who talked, who did what they had to in order to get through a workout and help their fellow man through it as well. What was also …

YHC had a plan to keep the pax dry. The forecast looked nasty but, much to my surprise, the rain held off until the final recover was called. This allowed for some nice jogging which we will get to a little later. The Q was changed 15 minutes before bootcamp started and, if I say …
YHC snagged the Q today expecting lots of rain. As usual the rain paused during the workout and gave us a chance to loop the school while putting in some work. 7-Elevens was the theme for the day. Frizzle got in solo miles. Cramps squeezed a couple SL miles in and managed to avoid most …
Coming off the GoRuck HTB in NYC, YHC knew he would be in recovery mode this weekend. Seeing that the Q sheet was open, I grabbed the lead today to make sure I got a chance to work out any sore muscles. I chose to do another run of the 52 card pick up routine …
Week 2 of IPC is in the books. 7 studs and YHC showed up to take on the Crazy 88’s. It was humid, very humid, no rain but thanks to last night, Shawshank, for once, was a tad damp on the fields. Once again my inspiration, Ken Doll, left me with the big board with …

YHC’s birthday usually falls on the BRR weekend so I have been doing my birthday Q on that prior Tuesday. Since I’m heading to NYC with Argyle for the 9/11 HTL next weekend, I figured I’d do my birthday Q a week early. I’ll be turning 52 and came up with a 52CardPickup game that …

Welp, when you are suppose to Q at Turning Point with a start time at 5am, and you roll over and look at the clock and it is 5:03am, it is not a good feeling. But when you commit to Q, there is no rolling back over and apologizing to the group in the DM …

No Q was truly needed this morning, just a PAX herder. It wasn’t too difficult of a job with only 5 PAX, with the exception of Shankopotamus who is always hard to wrangle. The WO was posted somewhere by F3, and Belding’s late night twitter habits caught up with us since he saw it and …
As another Independence Day came to a close, YHC was having trouble devising a Q with uncertainty as to how many PAX would post.

Although YHC attended The Hollow on a few occasions, I never had the pleasure of taking a Q there; mainly due to a time conflict with YHC’s home at Surge. So when the chance came to help a fellow AO and grab a Q it was a no brainer to pick it up. The campus …

It’s hard to believe that it has been just over a year since YHC was dragged out to the Gloom and introduced to the HIMs of Surge. YHC still remembers the apprehension of heading to an elementary school parking lot at a God-forsaken hour to workout of all things! How ridiculous and how strange of …
