When: 11/26/18 QIC: Turncoat The PAX: Turnpike, Special K, Wham, Toy, Grillz, Hugo, High Stick, Katniss, Quaker Opened with the Disclaimer then onto exercises 10 PAX arrived full of turkey at The Castle at 5:30 a.m. on a beautiful (if pine straw laden) 51 degree a.m. Warm up Side straddle hop (20 in cadence) …
Surge was a little chatty this AM and it was good. Wee Wee got in a little trash talk for the big game. Nail Pop was Nail Pop, always talking. Abner proclaimed his school DBU while kicking himself for failing terribly at Carolina/Clemson trivia. Wild Hog learned a little Southern speak. We also got in …
YHC loves Anchor. We do a lot of endurance tests during the week with running, some blocks, etc, but at Anchor, it’s usually all about weight training. This change of pace breaks up the monotony or the rut that one can get into doing the same thing over and over each week. With it being …
When we hear the Q call out, “Recover” we know it means to get up off our Six and get prepared to transition to a another exercise. We’re moving from a round of Dollies to a set of Side Straddle Hops. Fun. At The Mission AO “Recover” only means the same during the Saturday workout …
“Recover” at The Mission AO Means More Than Get Off Your SixRead More »
4 pax for XL at 0545. 8 pax for regular workout at 0630. We lost a pax from XL to the regular session because his M had texted him with the command of “You woke them (the 2.0s and the dog) up when you left. Get home.” In the interest of marital harmony (i.e., not …

I’ll keep it simple…I’ve stayed away too long. Too. damn. long. Yes, I hurt my shoulder and that required some medical treatment and some time off. But not as much time as I took. I let life and all the things that entails, take me away from something that makes me better and hopefully, makes …
One Minute Warning: Disclaimer: Prayer: The weather: 38, and rain Got to say, some days are definitely harder than others, and YHC was not especially jacked about this cold, wet morning. But, thankful for the two that showed up and held me accountable. Credit: stole most of this weinke from one of my favorite Q’s, Escobar. …
10 pax posted the chilly, wet gloom to be there for their brothers. Accountability is tough on mornings like this one, but the pax of Turning Point never cease to amaze me pulling double digits. We worked out hard, but worked out smart keeping as dry as possible in the cold, wet conditions. COP SSH …
The PAX said YHC was angry today, but what they called “angry” was more about motivation. Come on, they were being a bit slow in their mosey and didn’t want to hold their blocks overhead, so SOMEONE had to be their cheerleader, right?? The Q always seems to be the bad guy. YHC could have …
Ken Doll called me and advised that he was double booked for Tues morning and asked if I could take the Q at Graveyard. I checked the weather only to find that it was supposed to be 44 degrees and a 90% chance of rain…Sure. Pretty sure I owe him one anyway. Conditions: 44 degrees and mostly …
