YHC and Biggie Smalls agreed to have a home and home with Spur and BATTLE this summer. First meeting would be at Battle and then we’d reciprocate in a few weeks. 12 PAX posted for what was sure to be an epic showdown. This is BATTLE, so no more words, get to work. Conditions: Hot …
7 grown dudes worked out on Saturday. The now infamous March 13 date got punched square in the face. Here’s what we did — Conditions: Perfect The Thang Mosey to Football Field for warmup sprints 2x50yds @60%, 2x50yds @75%, 4x50yds @90% AMRAP 10 minutes 25 Merkins 25 Sit-ups 25 Squats 25 Imperial Walkers Run 50x50yd …
5 PAX posted to see if McNugget would call his signature move of Tunnel of Love. Neither one of us discussed our plans and it was almost a rinse and repeat. Since YHC was going first and McNugget did give me an idea, adjustments were made a little. Here’s the THANG! Run to the front …
7 years ago, Dredd and Crotch Rocket decided to plant, serve and grow a workout group for the invigoration of male community leadership in Cola. Thank God they did! F3 has developed into arguably one of the finest fraternities in the country and we’re thankful to be a part of it. Men all over need …

5 PAX converged at Battle to #getbetter on a Saturday morning. Even though the workout was fairly straightforward, it was still a very effective full-body beatdown. Conditions: 60 degrees, very pleasant The Thang: RA- Grab pavers and mosey to football field. Line up on goal line. 10 merkin rows, 15 bottom burpees, 20 squats, 25 …
Disclaimer, welcome Kenwood from Lexington who brought us a guest, warm up, mosey to school car rider line. The Thang was something like this (close enough, you get the idea): 60 sec each: Merkin, big boy, box jump, mosey lap. 45 sec each: wide Merkin, V-up, lunges, mosey lap. 30 sec each: close Merkin, ww2, …
6 PAX posted for the BATTLE version of #IronPAXChallenge. Venti needed a call to the bullpen and with this being a Holiday weekend, talent was limited. Thankfully Okra had a plan and YHC came in from the bullpen. This was awful! Conditions: Doesn’t matter but 70 and sunny. Okra runs the first portion: Mosey to …
Conditions: Its August in Columbia, SC, what do you think? The Thang: Cornstache up first… Grab Battle pavers and run up Falcon. Stop at Entrance for a variety of warm up exercises. Run to Muv Fitness, repeat exercises, Run to Belmont, repeat, Run to Rutland to the hill to nowhere. Top of Rutland hill: 10 8-count …
Battle flu is real. YHC felt a little under the weather Friday night and Saturday morning. After posting at Battle, YHC spent the rest of the day trying to figure out whether YHC was sick or just suffering from Battle Flu. General aches, pains, and exhaustion – classic symptoms of Battle Flu. YHC is happy …
6 PAX, including 1 2.0, emerged from the Fartsack this morning, looking for a way to #GetBetter, the Battle Way. The Battle Way is not for every man, but only for the man willing to push himself from comfort to discomfort. Waiting in the parking lot this morning was Fountainhead and YHC; two retired Nantans …
This is F3 Columbia #BATTLE. There are no easy workouts. There isn’t a Q that will let off the gas. This is here to push you and your brother. Huster and YHC posted ready to deliver! Here’s the THANG! Conditions: Perfect as always YHC lead off by departing out of the the parting lot and …
It is TWO WEEKS until we are wheels up on year 3 of the Crazy Train. What is Crazy Train you ask? Crazy Train is a week long event that allows PAX to push themselves physically and also participate in 2nd F and 3rd F events. Crazy Train leaves the station on Monday June 24th …
Conditions – Hot and muggy, 100 all weekend! The Thang Memorial Day weekend is a great time for family, friends, and celebration at the end of a hectic school year. However, we all know the true importance of the holiday – to honor our soldiers who have made the ultimate sacrifice in service of our …
BATTLE, the AO designed to be a little different, turned 5 last week. We celebrated as Battle Pax should – with a workout that was outwardly competitive and on the edge of being considered physically inadvisable. We got the blessing of the F3 powers-that-be 5 years ago to do something slightly against the credo of …
ALL ABOARD! Ha ha ha ha ha ha haaaa! Dahdum…….dahdum..dahdum..dahdum Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay, Ay Dahdum..dahdum..dadum Whhhhiiiiiiiirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Dahdum..dahdum..dahdum All PAX gird your loins for the traditional F3 Midlands CSAUP as we proudly present to you the third installment of F3 Crazy Train.

6 PAX posted on this Easter Eve morning to make sure the extra peeps that were consumed would be worked off. Okra texted YHC the night before that he had a cracked finger but he’d muscle through it. And he did! Here’s the THANG! Conditions: 47 and breezy but clear. YHC to begin with a …
4 PAX posted this morning to a gloomy #BATTLE. YHC was on the original schedule but with the P200 looming in less than 14 days, our team was doing a team run. YHC picked a very worthy candidate to fill in but he forgot he was going to see a wonderful lady named Anesthesia the …
This one was felt for days afterward. Here’s what happened – Conditions: 49 degrees and dry The Thang Hawg: Grab Paver Bricks and run to The Circle of Death 25 SSH IC 25 Sit-ups oyo Run to Battle Loop 10 Pull-ups 40 Squats 20 hip raises R/L 20 Sit-ups Run Battle Loop with Bricks Repeat …
Up until about 0658, it was 2 of us. Eldrick and YHC for Dealer’s Choice by ourselves. I don’t like the outcome. Get 911 on standby. Thankfully or not, however you look at it, 5 more showed up with a minute to spare. It’s BATTLE and it’s Dealer’s Choice, let’s get it on! Conditions: 58 …

10 PAX made their way into the #Gloom on a chilly Saturday looking for only what #Battle can offer. Waiting in the parking lot was YHC and Adrian, who briefly conspired on Friday afternoon to come up with a Q taking the #Battle faithful on a trip away from campus, a trip that included some …
11 PAX converged at AC Flora for the first Battle of 2019. This was YHC’s first battle Q after a few previous hurricane-related postponements and hopefully the PAX were not disappointed. Conditions: 46 and breezy, no rain! Excellent workout weather The Thang: Grab some pavers for the second half of the workout and drop them …
Goals have been set to accomplish more in 2019. Our growth as men and as community leaders must develop each and every day. F3 has taught us that our bodies and minds can be pushed past limits we never realized. 33 Men kicked the fartsack in the teeth this morning to start a new year …
9 Pax posted at AC Flora’s parking lot to see what Rhonda and YHC had planned. Rhonda said he was headed to the football field and figured to be some cardio. He also loves to wear out the chest muscles so YHC was game for anything. Nice clear skies after sooooo much rain. Here’s the …
Battle is an experience not matched at any other AO. It had been a while since YHC had been attended, and 5 minutes into the workout YHC realized how much he’d missed. Battle guys are not normal human beings. They’re a little nuts (as is YHC) and crazy loves company. This past weekend 13 crazies …
They claimed it would be in the 40’s… like a warm winter day in F3Columbia. And there was a 40% chance the rain wouldn’t start until after the #Battle clock expired. The 7 pax who posted, however, were unperturbed by the rain drops they could hear from their fartsacks that morning nor dissuaded from making …
Well it’s not the first time we’ve witnessed jeans being worn to battle, but this is the first time the man sporting jeans knew this was Battle. In Gump’s defense, he was simply dropping off his son for a wrestling tournament. There was some serious EHing going on that finally convinced Gump to enter Battle …
Lots of trash talking occurred prior to the inaugural #BATTLE Garent vs. Orange challenge. At F3 events, score isn’t kept and we’re here to encourage and push one another. Except this week and it’s BATTLE, everything gets thrown out the window. Chaser and YHC had teams and everyone was encouraged to wear their Garnet or …
The leaves are changing and cool weather has set in. That means it’s time for Thanksgiving and the annual Turkey Day festivities. This year will bring a little bit of a twist so pay attention.

On Saturday, 7 willing and somewhat sick souls showed up to a high school, to run to an elementary school to workout, and run back. Sounds wild. It was. Here’s what we did: Conditions: 49 degrees and not raining The Thang Splinter Q Hard Run to Brockman Elementary (1.2mi) 3 or 4 Stops (can’t remember) …
Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in a manner akin to drinking water from a fire hydrant. This week featured a return to #Battle for YHC who, due to apprehension and a variety of other commitments, had not posted on the hallowed grounds of AC …
The Details Date: Saturday, 10/27/18 Time: 2:30pm – 7:30pm What to Bring: Something, preferably finger foods or dessert (I also really enjoy pigs in a blanket, wink wink). This event is also BYOB. McLovin and Bubbles has graciously allowed us to use their spot for tailgate and we can’t be drinkin all their beer. #therewillbechicken Who: Everyone, M’s and 2.0’s, …
Maybe Field of Nightmares is more appropriate. As of this writing, YHC is still sore from this most recent unpleasantness! Here’s what went down… Conditions: Football Weather! The Thang Splinter up first with a Tabata from hell Mosey to the football field and get a lap. 5 Tabata Rounds of Merkins then sprint to the …
October 2012 was the beginning of it all in Columbia. There wasn’t a #BRICKPILE or shovel flag or many men downtown that even had a clue what F3 was or better yet, what it could mean in our lives. It has helped many Sad Clowns (YHC being one of them) get off the couch and …
Cess called on Eldrick and YHC to bust it had out the gate and not stop for one solid hour. We knew we had to bring it! 5 Pax gave it their best shot and made it one step closer to becoming Spartan Warriors after this one. Bottom line is this was one tough hour of …
Short and sweet. Lots of bricks, hills, and Prowlers. Here’s what we did: Conditions – 69 degrees, pleasant overall, very wet field The Thang Misfire Grab the bricks Mosey to Falcon Dr hill Quick ab COP 25 big boys 25 iron cross 25 Russian twists Hill work on Falcon Dr 1stround Sprint 1/3 up hill …
Both of the originally scheduled Q’s were unable to make their Q, so it was on Dealer’s Choice style. This usually doesn’t end well and it held true Saturday. Quit complaining and get to work. 7 PAX posted and they aren’t your everyday run of the mill PAX. These are BATTLE vets that don’t know …
The kids are headed back to school. Friday night football has kicked off and Saturday games are just around the corner. But for a Labor Day break, vacations are all in the rear view mirror. Summer is darn near over and it’s time to get back to work. Conditions: High 70’s and muggy like a …
YHC waited so long to get to the backblast to try and keep from reliving this workout. It was hot, humid, exhausting, miserable, and every other adjective that a normal Battle workout is. Here is what happened. Minion Mosey to the Battle Loop Partner Dora at the Battle Loop: While Partner 1 runs the loop, …
YHC and McLovin for a long time were connected at the hip when it comes to Co-Qing at BATTLE but that hadn’t happened in a while so this was special for YHC to get the band back together again. McLovin texted the day before to see if we could get 4 miles in and the …
Summer in full swing doesn’t bode well for any battlers. Q phenomenon only lasts while you are actually calling excercises, as was evident today. 10 merkins, 10 squats, 10 LBC x2 up to 14 of each excercises (1 minute each round 10 total) Ladder- Bear crawl -15 squats, monkey humpers, LBCs Crab Wall back- …
Figuring that a lot of PAX would be MIA or DR this week due to the 4th, Dealer’s Choice at #BATTLE felt like the right thing to do. Back on home soil feels good. 5 PAX posted and made it challenging for one another. Here’s the Thang! Conditions: 72 slight breeze and low humidity. Are …
A better late than never Backblast to wrap up what was one of the more taxing weeks YHC can recall. Fellow PAX; I give you #CrazyTrain. This was the second installment of the #CrazyTrain and it did not disappoint. In what was a battle against yourself not only mentally an physically but also truly a …
18 PAX posted for the final two workouts for the #CRAZYTRAIN. Only 6 PAX remained and #BATTLE was meant to push these men just a little farther. YHC and Splinter were on Q and had a plan that would test each and everyone. Warning, don’t try this at home kids. Here’s the thing! Conditions: 74 …
Crazy Train : Day 6 : Battle
One week and change until we are wheels up on year 2 of the Crazy Train. What is Crazy Train you ask? Crazy Train is a week long event that allows PAX to push themselves physically and also participate in 2nd F and 3rd F events. Those few, those happy few that complete all events …
10 #Battletested #Faithful posted to the Saturday #gloom to find an early arriving YHC and Collar ready for the June 2nd installment. It was a homecoming of sorts for YHC and just another Saturday for Collar and the rest of the crew. A field trip was in order on this festive occasion and what better …

As summer approaches and all those school activities finally wind down (do we really need graduation ceremonies for preschool AND elementary AND middle school?), your 2.0s are going to go from 100 to 0mph faster than you can say “Get off the Xbox and go outside!” You’re going to be looking for anything to get …
YHC and Ronda were called to co-Q Battle this morning by Cesspool for the 1st workout on the new Q schedule. 12 weekend warriors ended up taking the DRP with us and posting at Battle today. YHC had the Q at Hammer on Thursday as well. A heavy Hammer presence was expected at Battle so there …

YHC awoke this morning in pain, good pain. The kind of pain you feel after a week of being pushed to your limit by your brothers and capped off with a beatdown that only Battle can deliver. This is what happened. Conditions: 47 degrees and clear. The Thang: YHC up first. Leave Flora parking lot on …
Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in a manner akin to drinking water from a fire hydrant. This week featured Battle on location at Finlay Park in honor of the anniversary of The Mission. With new locales to explore, the question had to be asked …
It’s been a while my friends. YHC has had a string of busy days, sickness and just plan ole laziness. That being said, the WOW is back with a vengeance just in time for the P200. The P200 is an event many of us have completed quite a few times. That being said, there’s always …
7 PAX posted to #BATTLE aware that Dodgeball wasn’t going to be able to post which was a disappointment. That guy lays it down like no other and gives you plenty of reason to keep working harder. At that point YHC communicated with Splinter to see if he wanted 1st or 2nd? He wanted 2nd …
YHC knew immediately “Upper Body” was my responsibilityRead More »
When Cesspool reminded YHC and Fannie that we had the #Battle Q the news was greeted unkindly. Between a few random injuries, illnesses and a dash of #fartsacking, leading the men of #Battle just wasn’t a good option. Thankfully, Fannie and I have been around a while and know how to give the buys a …
7 PAX posted at #BATTLE Saturday knowing it would be a physical and mental test. Spring has sprung in the Midlands so no excuses as to weather for fartsacking. No more Chit Chat. Here’s the Thang! Conditions: 57 and overcast. Perfect YHC lead off because I knew Rosinbagger was going to put it down and …
YHC has missed Battle for the last few weeks based on gaining more miles on the weekends. Rotation was up for a Co-Q with Misfire, but he has a back injury that kept him grounded. There is a reason Battle uses a CO-Q approach, and the Pax demand all out intensity for the full hour. …
Another Saturday at #Battle where limits are pushed, sanity is questioned and the #DRP is served in a manner akin to drinking water from a fire hydrant. This week featured a return home of one of F3 Columbia’s finest, morning fog, questionable decisions and an #IrishGoodbye. With both YHC and his co-Q, who each tend …
Conditions: Perfect (does it really matter?) 9 Pax showed up, showed out, and got better. The Thang: McNugget and Splinter’s turn at Battle on 1/20. McNugget had been a no show for quite some time, so he was pleasantly surprised when the Pax welcomed him back with open arms. This was a fun workout with …
The last Battle Workout of 2017 presented plenty of challenge. Freezing temperatures and relentless punishment from the Q’s made this one Battle-worthy. BillyBob brought ridiculous amounts of chest work and YHC took us on a little trip to the mall. Conditions: 27 degrees at the start, definitely warmer by 8am The Thang *Warning* Everything with …
YHC and HH have Co-Q’d battle on a number of occasions. One of these workouts (about 1.5 years ago) was one of the hardest YHC has ever experienced. When we used to Co-Q, we’d spend at least 10 minutes on the phone discussing our plan of action. For better or worse, our planning and been …
8 faithful posted to #Battle for a little Thanksgiving Weekend, Gameday treat. Despite forecasts of overnight lows around 40 the temps dipped to 34. All the more reason to stretch our legs and work up a sweat…. Conditions – 34 degrees The Thang SubPrime Portion Parking Lot Jungle Boi Squats – 20 (4ct) SSH – …
Conditions – 44 degrees, sunny, perfect turkey weather The Thang 22 F3 Columbia PAX converged on #Brickpile this morning for our annual Thanksgiving boot camp. Someone got the bright idea to appoint YHC and some of my #Hammer brethren as co Qs since we won the inaugural Cannonball Run competition. Splinter, RA, and Garnish answered …

10 Men posted at #BATTLE for some work. Work they got! Conditions: Overcast and 55. Perfect YHC began by running to the brickpile and each PAX was to grab 2 pavers and set them off to the side. We’ll get to them soon enough. Run to the Circle of Death for a little warm up. …

4 Pax posted to #Battle not knowing what could possibly be in store. Dealer’s Choice usually gets out of hand at #BATTLE because these dudes are competitive and don’t know when to stop. Conditions: 68 and a whole lot less humid! Run to the Circle of Death. Cesspool: 15 Merkins IC Garnish: 20 Squats IC …
YHC was honored to answer the call from McLovin to step in for him while he was DR at RAGNAR. An added bonus was Qing the full 60 minutes. Splinter was the only one present who had experienced a Billy Bob workout so the rest of the PAX were introduced to the power of the …
YHC texted Cornstache Friday to see if he needed assistance with the Q at #BATTLE and he responded with, “you want to co-Q”. Why not, sounds like a good time. Stache said he had legs planned so YHC had upper body. Muster at Staches compound around 0640 and mosey to the Battle Field. YHC gave …
For five years, F3 Columbia has been destroying #SadClowns in the greater Columbia area and there has never been a better time to come together, celebrate the impact the Pax have had on our community and re-energize our efforts to lay waste to the remaining #SadClowns all around us. F3 has been strong in large …
The Conditions – Great too bad it was ruined with a workout The Thang Hew Haw stepped in for Billy Bob and decided to take the PAX to the Battle Loop Partner up and perform 200 pull-ups, 200 heel-tap crunches, and 50 tire push across the sand pit. After the first round Hew Haw only …
The four main roles of an F3 workout are the Q, sweeper, point, and mumblechatter. Before we lead the Q school a couple of weeks ago YHC really new what 1 of these 4 really was: mumblechatter (aka Robber, Betamax, Paperboy, Kim Jung, etc.). The mumblechatter pax is a must at every workout. He’s the one that …
YHC was called from the bullpen mid-week to assist Splinter with a fill-in Q at Battle. By Friday, it wasn’t clear whether Collar knew that he was the Co-Q so a solo Q was planned just in case. Splinter was off to the Manning launch with Chaser, Okra, and Abraham. Another Reynoldsless Battle. Collar …
Last week YHC realized he was double booked for Co-Q. First was Co-Q at Battle with Wingback. Second was Co-Q for the Q School Bootcamp with McLovin and Cornstache. With all of these great minds, we got the details all worked out quickly. YHC would do the first half of Battle, and leave nothing in …
Battle is a workout that pushes you to your physical limits (repeatedly), while the mission is one that reaches down into your sole. One makes you as miserable as possible, and by doing that makes the rest of life seem a little easier. The other makes you thankful for all the blessings you have in …
While the Reynolds’ clan was away today and trending on Twitter with the end of their Holden Beach 2017 family vacation week, the Battle PAX served up another devious Dealer’s Choice full of the typical MAD one-upmanship that left us wondering what had just happened after a full hour of pain and breathlessness. Here’s what …
“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” It’s difficult to think of another statement that so concisely sums up the core principles of what we believe in …
YHC was nervous/excited for his first #BATTLE Q and was honored to split the hour with Splinter. Anytime YHC posts with Splinter his number 1 goal is (try to) KEEP UP. YHC was asked to fill in for Stache and did not want to disappoint. Weather: 72 degrees, cloudy, and muggy The Thang… YHC started …

Hustler and I had the Q at Battle yesterday. Collar almost lost some of his man parts while scaling a fence. Here’s how it went down: Hustler’s 1st Half: Mosey to the tennis court Scale 10′ chain-link fence Various versions of bear crawl suicides for the next 25 minutes Scale fence to escape the Thunderdome Robber’s …
Wingback and YHC thought a 100-rep themed workout was a good idea. Here’s what happened. Conditions: Steamy The Thang: Mosey to the Battle Loop for first half with Minion and partner up. While Partner 1 starts on set exercises, Partner 2 runs the Battle Loop. Once lap is completed, flap and jack and continue to switch …
Hawg and Ronda had the co-Qs this past Saturday at Battle with a total of 12 PAX. First up, Hawg sent us through a grueling battle loop: Grab the bricks and mosey to the Battle loop. Circle up for 40 SSH IC and 4 count 25 FlutterKick IC. Upper body blowout: 10 pull ups, 10 dips, …

Q schools are great and they are going to continue to happen this year. In the interest of letting pax know what YHC thinks the aspects of a good workout and Q are more consistently, we’ve decided to start a workout of the week (WOW) post that will run (nearly) every week. The purpose of …
18, yes, 18 pax posted to the #Battle gloom on this colder than usual May morn and found McLovin and YHC ready to take them on a painful loop covering close to four miles. With the Mud Run now less than two weeks away the thought was to give the Pax a full hour of …
The following is an explanation of the carnage that occurred at Battle Saturday. Some scenes may be disturbing to some Pax. Viewer discretion is advised.

9 pax arrived for a Battle Beatdown Saturday, led by Hee Haw and Adrian. It was a little odd with no Splinter, Chaser, Okra … or even Abraham. We did our best to keep things going without the normal “encouragement” from the Reynolds crew. The Thang Run to Circle SSH x 20 (IC) Merkins x …
Moved tractor tires up and down the parking deck ramps. Happy Easter!
Our fearless leader, Splinter, encouraged Misfire and YHC to step up and co-Q today’s #Battle workout only a few short days ago. There was some initial doubt the Misfire could break away from his 5 am feeding duties for his 2.0 version 3, but we’ve all learned to never count out Misfire. He showed up …
With dozens of men downrange with the P200, I didn’t expect much of a showing for Battle this morning so I thought we try something CSAUP-worthy to show our solidarity. Run to the mall parking deck. Flip a big-ole tractor tire to the top deck in teams of 2. Carry the tire down the deck together. …
Conditions – Perfect The Thang Chop Shop may have missed the last few Battles in his million mile training regiment, but he came back Saturday with a vengeance. Chop took the PAX to the Mall for 20 merkins, 20 squats, and 20 BBS at the base and top of the parking garage ramps. 5 …
#Battle AOQ, Splinter, and YHC were on the docket for this morning’s QIC and an incredible 18 strong posted for the #beatdown. YHC, suffering from writer’s block, reached out to Splinter for a little direction for the workout. The suggestion? Maybe head over to the mall parking garage for a Bull-like workout. OK. Let’s roll. …
13 showed up for a #Battle workout that promised to be different but the same. While the Q is tasked with providing a workout that tests every man and does not necessarily celebrate the Qs strengths we all tend to gravitate to what we’re comfortable with and generally that also happens to be our strengths …
Ronda had the first part of this grueling workout. Personally, I don’t see enough agility work at F3, including Battle. I set up a course using cones on one of our fields. From the starting point, the first cone was about 15 yards away. Second cone was 15 yards to the left, third cone was another 15 yards up the …
5 Faithful Pax posted to #Battle for a beatdown at the hands of Adrian and YHC. The conditions were about perfect for a workout but as always, Battle always proved for a tough workout. YHC’s wife even drove by at one point and saw the pax running, with pavers, and asked the very reasonable question …
As dawn broke, the exhaust trails from planes were glowing PINK. No Pink Planes but was this a sign? 6 PAX posted knowing one thing, YHC was in charge of 1/2 BATTLE. Who would be filling in for the illustrious Adrian was still a mystery. No need to wait any longer. Splinter out the blocks …
While sitting in the gloom waiting for the Pax to arrive, YHC tweeted out a brief definition of Battle. Battle: “Part of war which is well defined in duration, area and force commitment”. U know it’s hard, just post. The men that post to Battle expect to be pushed and know it’s going to suck for a full hour. When …
Anytime YHC comes around, things tend to get a little up close and personal. Some say things got borderline inappropriate today. 8 men were led into #Battle today by Misfire and YHC for some fun and a lot of work. Conditions: Perfect 58 degrees, overcast, damp, and foggy The Thang: First up McNugget: Grab some …
YHC realized mid week that the Battle Q was his and that his intended partner in crime was on the DL. No problem… Q’ing the hardest workout in town with one hand tied behind my back is just part of the job description, right? Rather than risk embarrassment (Q’ing 30 minutes of Battle is more …
Earlier this week, the weatherman was calling for nasty conditions for Saturday morning, but despite the wishes of all the 2.0s in the Midlands, we arose to 36 degrees and wet… Six faithful posted to Battle to thumb their nose at Mother Nature and do a bit of work for a Robber/Hustler Q. Here’s what …
11 started their morning off with some serious work on the grounds of AC Flora HS at Battle. The workout also featured a Battle Billy Zane late in the final circuit. If you post to Battle and expect a quick warmup to loosen up the system, you will most likely be disappointed. After grabbing our …
