21 faithful came together today to close out our Legion bootcamp and AO at Hampton Memorial Park.

For 6 years, we got a twice-weekly beatdown, …
Excitement was in the air along with a super pink moon and even Silver Bullet arrived early for this Co-VQ double feature. The weather was clear and a perfect 54 degrees.

To my M’s great dislike, YHC has become a huge fan of the music for the musical Hamilton over the last few years, so much so that when we traveled to New York this summer to see it for the first time she was amazed and maybe a little embarrassed that I was singing every …
It was great to be back in the gloom at Legion this morning. Thanks to Rosinbagger for the invite. This morning was the definition of “the gloom.” 5:15am, at the darkest AO in the world, with thick fog surrounding it. We had a good workout, here’s what we did. Conditions: 68 degrees and foggy THE …

YHC’s past visits to LEGION were a bit dark. It was apparent they’re getting some upgrades to the AO. All new playground and shelter are under construction. New toys for the boys in the future. Hope they get some input. 4 PAX posted for what seemed to be an average workout at Legion. Nothing easy …

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 …
Conditions: Mildly muggy, and with an AO lacking our pullup bars that the city rudely tore down. .

Conditions 78 degrees, 95% humidity, swamp conditions, slight intermittent …
For those of you in the Gloom today, it was thick. Temps weren’t crazy high, but it just felt tough to breathe. Wasn’t long before we were soaked.

It’s with great humility that YHC give you the final #WOW of his 1st F Q leadership. Being the 1st F Q has been the best leadership experience YHC has ever had. The new 1st F Q (who’ll be introduced Saturday) is perfect to move the fitness of F3 Columbia forward. YHC isn’t going anywhere …
YHC and Woodshed AOQ Chewy put our brains together and decided to add a coffee/2nd F feature to our monthly convergence. To do that we needed to slice off the last 15 minutes of the workout. So easy peasy do the normal workout just shorter right? Nope. #ThrowbackTuesday to a former AO “the Blitz” lovingly …

Conditions: Warm and muggy Tha Thang: 8 faithful posted on a blanketish day for an atypical Q. Usually I like fast-paced, moving quickly from one highly-varied exercise to another, using all body parts. But, sometimes it is good to focus a little more, and relentless repetition (with variations) can be a good thing, especially for …
CornDog had to scrape the bottom of the barrel for Guest Q’s, but YHC was honored to be invited back to lead 5 other Pax. YHC had helped with the launch of this darkest, longest and hardest of weekday AO’s and had been a regular pax for a while. Oh, the memories. Conditions: Cool, a …

Woodshed and Legion have been regularly meeting up on top of Indian Mound since Legion first planted its shovel flag in 2015. Our March convergence was another opportunity to work out with our brothers from across the gloom. The Thang: We started 2 minutes late (YHC didn’t have a watch), so, from Woodland Park, the …
YHC is nursing a slightly bum knee – solution? Design a Q (inspired by a Splinter guest Q a few months ago) that focuses heavily on upper body work. Shoulders, traps, biceps and chest are in for a beatdown this day at Legion. Conditions: 48 Degrees, ground slightly damp – conditions are perfect, it’s business …
10 PAX braved the darkness that is Legion. It’s been a while since Legion gave The Murph a go. Many PAX bang it out in about 45 minutes, but Legion is 60 minutes, so YHC served some ab-friendly appetizers. Conditions: A warm 31 Degrees The Thang: 25 SSH (In Cadence) 20 IW (In Cadence) 20 Squats …

The main muscle groups in the body are: shoulders, back, chest, arms (bi’s and tries), abs/core and legs. Most Q’s try to hit all of these areas with a little cardio/intensity built in. However, if you hit all of these areas a little (which is about all you have time for) what is going to …

2 brutal Qs last week and Heist tapering for RAGNAR so it’s probably a good time to have a nice easy Q to let the body recover right? Nah. It’s the near death experience of Legion that solidified YHC in F3. YHC was half in/ half out for a few years before Legion. Now YHC never misses …
The last two Legion Qs were brutal! Tuesday was an aggressive Splinter led Q, and Thursday was another great Dealer’s Choice. These back to back Q’s had a residual effect on the PAX muscles and minds for days. We originally set a monthly AOQ day as a day to reel everybody back in to ensure …
If the Mud Run is the F3 Superbowl for boot camps, the Palmetto 200 could be considered the F3 Superbowl for running. It has become the signature #CSAUP event for F3 running AOs, BUT IT IS NOT JUST FOR RUNNERS! If you are a regular boot camp attendee, you can handle the P200. Find a …

YHC certainly needed to create something horrible for the PAX to remember throughout their workday. Conditions: 71 degrees, clear, and very humid The Thang: …
Well not really lonely as six of us convened in Hampton Park. The 2ndF wasn’t lacking as it’s hard to press the peddle hard enough to wind the #Legion #Faithful. BUT, today was a special day in that the AO that spawned Legion was celebrating it’s three year anniversary. And, not to be left out …
It’s always fun to set up a convergence between Legion and The Woodshed. These two AOs are 1.5 miles apart, so the choice to attend one versus the other is based strictly on how hard one wants to get pushed. YHC thinks the Legion rock is bigger, but always like to attempt settling that argument …
YHC had been looking forward to this Q date, very thankful for the AOQ reminder, a double-booking almost led to a q-less workout. Preparing for this year’s TRU50K has taught YHC about the character we can hone through the suffering that endurance training brings… and this one, brought a little more suffering than intended. Here’s …

YHC had the honor of being the 2nd Q in the history of Legion. Every time YHC comes out to Legion, he feels that he has to uphold the vision of Legion dreamed up by Wingback, Heehaw and Chaser at the beginning. The idea was to have a bootcamp that was more challenging then any …

YHC is always sure that Legion PAX will push it, and although there’ll be sure to be Grumble Chatter (especially if Hee Haw’s there), the PAX come to get work done. Today was no different, and it was YHC that felt like he was the 6 most of the time (smoked for sure). For those …
Conditions: Cool and dry Tha Thang: 9 guys didn’t take the Twitter hints and showed up anyway for what promised to be a repetitive, hard workout. It didn’t disappoint, although admittedly it was not as brutal as I anticipated due to time limitations and having a good number of pax to split the load. Recently, …
In addition to The Mission, YHC has been a regular at Legion now for a few months. The time had come to step up for the VQ and get on the regular Legion rotation. Many have stated that the night before the VQ, that nerves are tense and sleep is a bit difficult. For …

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 …

YHC is introducing a slightly modified structure to Legion. We have our traditional Monthly Murph, Convergence with Woodshed, and regular Q rotation.

YHC was really excited to make his way back to the torture providing AO known as #Legion. #Legion is not for the faint at heart. 60 minutes of #beatdown is what the Pax expect here. You don’t provide that…you probably won’t be invited back. Well, maybe …
As the new AOQ for Legion, YHC has noticed that Legion is slowly creeping up the list for most Pax posting in F3 Columbia recently. The sad observation is that the other AO numbers appear to be shrinking. Our core group of Legion Legit Pax do not want to grow by simply stealing other area …
Conditions: 35 and clear after several nice days, no mud. Perfect for a beatdown. Tha Thang: Since this was mostly made up on the fly without Weinke, my memory is guaranteed to fail. I was warned that due to the variety involved, a PDF attachment to the backblast may be needed. I prefer just to …

6 PAX took a nice leisurely stroll around Legion… and since we were in the crab walk position holding hands wasn’t an option, but we did get plenty of 2nd F and stargazing, I think there was a mention of a satellite spotting at one point, on this beautiful day that God made. Conditions: 30 …
