CONDITIONS Clear skies, lower 50’s, the evening dew leaving the grasses of Ballentine park glistening, much like the 6 shiny PAX who joined YHC for what was to be an epic beatdown that was termed by all who attended as “fun” and maybe even a little well…”inspiring”. Now said dew combined with low-ish permeability silty …

CONDITIONS Lower 70’s, dry, the early riser PAX put to work gathering blocks even before the one minute warning chime was rang. Murmurs in the background about how seeing flashing lights on the ground on the road into Depot are never good. PAX wondering what is under that sweaty towel on YHCs trunk (some even …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN/DISCLAIMER Mid 60’s, but felt cooler with noticeably less humidity than we had on JDee’s 90’s and early aughts music laden tear-fest on Tuesday. The chill in the air was made all the more evident by erect nipples observed in a few #MenOfDepot beneath their taut schmedium shirts (Let’s leave a little to be discovered …

11 pax came out on Thursday for a Whitney led Q. Having a 1 month old baby and coming off of a week straight of working the PGA Championship where the days went from a 3am wakeup to leaving the golf course around 9pm every day, YHC almost forgot that I signed up to Q …
Upon arrival, everyone was wondering what the newly placed tent and orange cones came from. Then, it was natural to realize, this is probably a better location for covid testing (versus the small parking lot at Ballentine Library). They didn’t ask us permission, Depot attorneys are looking at our options. Warmup: SSH x 20 TTT …

“The Thang”: A major win was achieved by 11 PAX (a few good men) to combat the laziness that silently invades the hearts of men every winter (temp around 30). Darla led the PAX to victory against this foe with a steady progression of getting the men warmed up, a routine workout, 6 MoM, and …

It should be noted that the modify was intended for physical exertion, not preference of …
Still YCH’s nemesis Conditions: 59 degrees. As Borat would say.. Very Nice! Disclaimer/Warm up: There was a (partial) disclaimer at least… Maybe walking to get blocks counts as a warmup? (The complaints about lack of warmup have been taken under advisement, not promising I will do anything about it, but it’s under consideration. …
Conditions: Nice, humid fall morning. 66 degrees 25 guys levitated out of the fart sack this morning and got better (Could have been 26, Stagecoach…).

In our continuing series of honoring the #HIMs and #UTPs of F3 Lake Murray, today 20 pax commemorated Travis Goings a/k/a Moose. Moose is a staple of Depot and is a frequent leader of workouts at this AO. The hallmark of his Qs are Simple, Not Easy. As well, Moose is a fixture on the …
16 Pax (15 BC and a runner) came out to pick things up and put them down, which turned into a little Q wine making and tasting. The THREE AMIGOS were back together, thanks for coming across the pond Arrears! 1 minute warning was skipped, tunes needed IT support, thanks for the offer Moose, I …

CONDITIONS Continued gorgeous weather here in the Midlands, just in time for our second straight weekend of in person boot camps! #SuckItCovid Saturday means an 0630 start time. As summer approaches, the #gloom subsides quickly and you get to behold the beauty of the PAX that you just don’t can’t see in the dark at …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 65 degrees, fluorescent lighting, overwhelming smell of unfinished home improvement projects with a sprinkle of an M’s disappointment, and a wall full of tools just begging to be roughly handled and put to good use. Well….that was the experience from my garage at least. Speaking of tools wanting to be roughly handled, 21 other …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN The extra week of spring break has YHC feeling a little spicy (but generally non-contagious) this morning, so just gonna leave this right here….

Conditions: Moist 19 (yes 19!) PAX posted on a cool, damp SC morning. The day’s festivities started slowly, as it became obvious nobody except our pre-BC runners set an alarm. Then at the stroke of 0630, reminiscent of the 1919 Chicago Black Sox, the remaining PAX emerged from the proverbial corn field for a main …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Temps hovering just below freezing, clear skies, with a beautiful super moon providing the luster of midday to PAX of Depot below!

CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Beautiful morning at 45 degrees, starry skies, with a slight breeze. The last day of the last year in the decade of the 2010s. The same decade that brought us Game of Thrones, our new overlord Taylor Swift, and our boy Darla to the #gloom. A great day for a VQ; however, our VQ …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Jimmy Buffett once wisely said “It’s 5 o’Clock somewhere”. Turns out that margarita sippin, Hawaiian shirt wearin’, sage was right. It was 5 o’clock, 0500, 5 AM, when we kicked off our Q this morning at Foxhole (if 0530 is the “butt crack of dawn”, perhaps 0500 is the “taint of dawn”???, can I …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN ~60 degrees on a clear morning that turned to fog by the time we departed from Depot. A short time later as YHC drove to work he noted the fog had spread to Cola. This was no doubt the result of the the 17 #MenOfDepot that contributed to the water cycle today with their …
CONDITIONS/FORESKIN 72 degrees Fahrenheit, 1001% humidity, partly starry skies, with a faint hint of iron sharpening iron mixed with the smell of Ben Gay on my aching quads and HAM (High Ass Meat) after a romantic Thursday morning spent with that hot mama known as Bonnie Blair. #Sk8erGrl Ooo la la indeed. 🙂 You know …

CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Conditions were absolutely perfect this morning! Super clear skies with Orion looking down on us (not the constellation…..Orion is the name of the video system that Pothole installed at Depot to make sure the PAX have proper form). Temps were around 70 degrees and ideal for a pre-boot camp run. There were some….ummm…interesting discussions …

CONDITIONS/FORESKIN Lower 70’s temperature, high humidity, but crystal clear South Carolina summer morning skies. A faint hint of Coppertone (the man and the sun cream) in the air, cut through only by the anticipation of the PAX for the Hostel beatdown they paid their hard earned money for. Hostel’s work (traveling male gigolo…..attorney…..something) has him …
The Conditions: 71 degrees with minimal wind. Summer is here. YHC rolled up with just a few minutes to spare. I called the one-minute warning, which EZ quickly noted as being a minute early. I planted the shovel flag and started the disclaimer. I was informed that we were starting a minute late, so I …

Conditions A warm 41 degrees with a bit of dampness. No rain for the Depot Pax this AM. With his magic, Fool’s Gold was able to keep the grounds wet for this boot camp. #raingod Disclaimer/COP It’s a humbling experience to Q a Depot workout. There’s always support from the brothers (Next exercise is…starting position…IC…exercise!!) …
There was a little nip to the air this morning, but at least the winds were minimal. 10 pax resisted the temptation to do the easy thing and posted for themselves and their brothers. Conditions: 25 and clear COP (All IC): SSH * 10 Windmill * 10 LAC * 10 + LAC in Reverse * …
Conditions A cool balmy 30 degrees with a hint of freezing (with some in shorts. A man’s man there). Thankfully Fool’s Good did his dance to prevent the rain from happening this morning. COP/Disclaimer Let me start by saying, it was great seeing the 21 Men of Depot represent for YHC’s second Q. Preparation for …
Reflection: YHC is not really sure what happened during this Q. When YHC took the available date to Q, he figured we would just chill, have a good time, joke around etc. Especially considering that our beloved handball has been tabled due to the recent Seattle type weather in our area. THIS IS NOT WHAT HAPPENED …
Not YHC’s first Q, but definitely YHC’s first BB. Yes, technically its 5 days late, but that is better than 9 months…. Conditions: According to the weather almanac – Upper 40’s, partly sunny, partly cloudy, chance of rain but not too much, but it could potentially, well possibly rain. Weatherman gig nailed, I need an …
26 pax (2 runners) for Penthouse’s B-Day VQ workout at 0530. I’m honored by the pax that did “the harder thing” and posted this morning in the gloom. TClaps to the Men of Depot for representing. Conditions: …
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 …
