After a long holiday weekend, 13 PAX posted in the gloom to begin the work on burning off all the seared meat, fixins, and adult beverages that were consumed in celebration of our nation’s fallen soldiers.

16 PAX emerged from the #Fartsack this morning in search of a way to #GetBetter. Lingering in the woods next to Satchel Ford Elementary was YHC, who was quite excited about the occasion to Q at #Hammer, which is an AO that walks softly but carries a big stick. As a #Thunder homer, YHC has …
Solid 15 this am for Zima’s, second go at the Q. PAX thought the theme would have something to do with Tennessee for some reason.

YHC promised the PAX on the Twitterz the night before that they would leave sore and we set out to accomplish that. T-Claps to Pinkman for the gloves assist. Conditions: 32 and a wee bit nipply The Thang: Because of the conditions, YHC thought he would be kind to the PAX with some warm-up to …

16 men made the wise decision to get up early today to better themselves and their fellow PAX this morning at Hammer. Work was done. Mumble chatter was strong. The Q was nearly flawless. The only possible error by YHC was forgetting to grab my cell phone to record the Name-o-Rama until after the Count-o-Rama began. I’ll …

The Thang: Mosey lap around parking lot, and stopping in front of the …
This was YHC’s second Q at hammer. During my first Q, YHC ran out of exercises with 10 minutes remaining, threw up in my mouth, and sputtered to the end. YHC has been looking forward to this 2nd chance for some time and YHC was determined to bring a proper beatdown to the Hammer PAX. …

Despite the usual grumblings, 9 men (was almost 10) saw this morning’s conditions as a great opportunity to get up before dawn and get in a little exercise.

Conditions: 60s and Moist Last time the PAX did the PT test at Hammer, YHC was doing a little reading on the test and so forth. Apparently, the PT test is being replaced by the new Army Combat Fitness Test (ACFT). YHC took it upon himself to investigate further. This started the gears turning, and …
Even though it might have appeared that YHC was without a plan, trust me, YHC thought way too long about this one. I even had additional stuff planned but we ran out of time. YHC is always intimidated to lead the pax in a workout but its always rewarding. Thanks for showing up. Conditions: cool …
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 …

13 PAX posted to Hammer for a little fun. YHC traded off Q responsibilities with McNugget at BATTLE so it was appropriate we bring a little heat to the boys at HAMMER. Mainly because they expect it and can handle it. Conditions: 74 and muggy! Head to the block pile and 1/2 of the PAX …

The last Tues/Thurs of the month means it’s a Dealer’s Choice session at Hammer. 12 PAX posted, some with intentions of inflicting pain beyond realistic levels of execution. Hammer PAX are highly motivated and enjoy “one-upping” each other with called exercises, but sometimes things can get ridiculous requiring YHC to use the power of the …
Finally YHC gets to Q at Hammer. It’s probably been four months, but that just left more time to think up dastardly ways to inflict pain on the PAX. Billy Bob grabbed YHC before the workout and said we had an FNG, not sure if that meant to water down the workout or make it …
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 …
9 PAX answered Billy Bob’s Twitter challenge and came out this morning to find out if the “skinny soccer player, ” aka YHC, could level a quality beat down on the crew.

14 PAX posted to see if YHC actually had a plan for destroying our mind body and spirit this morning. Full disclosure, sort of. The problem begins when you have such a strong group like the PAX from #HAMMER, it takes a lot of work. This workout covered over 2 miles and lots of pain …

YHC hopes all the F3 Columbia faithful will excuse the sparse nature of the recent WOW posts. They have been as regular as a YHC’s bootcamp posts, which due to injuries and marathons have been few and far between. That being said, this morning was YHC’s return to the gloom after a ~3 week injury …

YHC had just turned onto Satchel Ford Rd. when my phone pinged. RA couldn’t make his Q. Some low life scum had hacked his bank account and wiped it out. RA needed to get on the phone and deal with it. Damn. YHC knew the PAX were going to post in numbers for RA. #Hammer …
Conditions: Wonderful, breezy, 60ish YHC was a bit worried about his hamstring after a little incident this weekend while running some trails and decided to avoid anything too “explosive”. The PAX reminded YHC that he needn’t worry about being explosive, ain’t happening anyway! Touché! Alas, YHC will have to save displaying his impressive middle-aged athleticism …
10 Hammer Pax got after it and took a little trip to Trenholm Park, back to where it all started. Why is it that most (if not all) PAX get so excited about YHC’s Q’s? Yes we got dirty and yes we got to do some Tunnel’s of Love. Enough said… Weather- Perfect- Didn’t rain. Not …

In 1930 an American physiologist named Royal H. Burpee developed the Burpee test as a part of his PhD thesis…at least according to Wikipedia. Millions of people in the years since have come to rue the day Dr. Burpee had this brilliant idea, but it has helped us all to #getbetter. This is YHC’s least …
YHC issued a challenge to downtown Columbia pax to come out and join the Hammer faithful for this morning’s workout. McLovin and Hee Haw answered the call as did 13 Hammer regulars and 1 FNG. YHC would have loved to have seen more Columbia pax who don’t make the regular trip to hammer, but that …

A while back, Collar instituted the dueling Q at Hammer based off of Battle and how each Q takes his best shot at the pax for 30 minutes before handing off to the next Q. The dueling Q has become a great workout opportunity because it changes up the routine and allows the Q to …
YHC fancies himself as more of a runner than a boot-camper. But Collar must have wanted to change that so, without consulting YHC, I found myself added to the list of Hammer Qs. For YHC’s VQ. Yes, you read that right. Somehow YHC has slipped through the cracks. But no more. 10 pax and YHC …

F3 has been valuable to YHC. It has created friendships and kept me from being super fat. It all started for me at Trenholm Park (the second home for Hammer, I believe). So, since it’s been a while since YHC took the Q, I decided we would take a field trip “home.” Conditions- unreasonably humid. …
