8 Pax got after it this morning at Legion, and got a Christmas Miracle from Splinter. Santa Splinter brought some “bricks” via truck. The Legion Pax might as well have been in footie pajamas running down the stairs on Christmas morning… and then they started doing circuits and running with them. Legion will never be …

7 men showed up for the Hour Long beat down that is Legion. Work was done, and it went a little something like this, hit it: Disclaimer Conditions: 42 F, but it warmed up quick The Thang: Fast mosey around the perimeter to the basketball court. Plan was for everyone to grab some bricks, but …
8 PAX decided that they’d found out how Legit they were this morning @ #Legion, with the #MonthlyMurph. Conditions were perfect, new faces showed up and work was done. It was pretty much a perfect morning. #TheMurph always packs a punch; if you are interested to see just the type of shape you are in, …
7 determined PAX said “no” to the comfort of the #fartsack and “yes” to an hour of pure misery to work off the holiday festivities. And to think, Christmas and New Years are right around the corner… Also, with the #MonthlyMurph coming up,YHC tested muscle groups that would not be destroyed by #Legion’s monthly PT …
A couple of pax from F3 Columbia figured the long holiday weekend would be a good time to sneak up on the state’s newest AO and surprise them with a Soda City style beatdown. Fortunately, The Republic was more than up to the task. Conditions: Mid 50s and gorgeous The Thang: Pipeline starts off the …
In a useless attempt to burn more calories before sun up than would be consumed this Thanksgiving Day, YHC joined forces with Splinter for an early #DownPAINment with some of the most giving guys I know. Convergences are always a festive gathering, this morning being no different. The festive mood cleared early, though, as the cool …
11 PAX grabbed the #DRP and washed it down with an #Extra15 at #Legion this morning for a #Legion assault on Hampton Hill. Unfortunately for some, we all showed up for a boot camp and a run group broke out… whoops, #GotBetter, #NoDoubt… Conditions: Blessed The Thang: https://www.strava.com/routes/3670451 30 SSH (IC 2Ct.) Mosey down Munsen …
6 PAX posted in the cool Legion gloom this morning for KG’s BD-Q Part 2. Of the 6 PAX in attendance, besides YHC, none were able to attend my birthday party @ Woodshed on 11/7…so I brought the party to Legion, with some slight modifications. Conditions, 51 degrees = no (or at least less) mosquitoes…AYE! …
YHC had to change up the plans for the #VeteransDay beatdown due to some minor technical difficulties. He then remembered getting haggled about the big goose egg last Thursday for the November installment of the #MonthlyMurph. This gave him a devious idea. What unfolded was one #Legendary morning in the gloom. NO COP. The Thang: …
6 PAX posted to #Legion this morning in the sloppy, skeeter-infested gloom. (YHC will leave a bottle of OFF in his car from now on.) With the #MonthlyMurph on the horizon, YHC chose to hurt the PAX in areas that wouldn’t hinder their chances of posting a better time during our monthly fitness test. Here’s …
7 PAX posted to #Legion to get their fill of DRP. YHC and Pondo had planned a #LegionLegit beatdown in the form of a joint-op, combining the PAX from #Woodshed and #Legion. Since #Legion starts 15 mins earlier, it gave us perfect time to get a little warmup on the way to #IndianMound, the site …
This was our 2nd Joint Op. between the #LegitLegionnaires and the #TheWoodshedders. Always a good time. We had the pleasure of Rossenbagger joining us and he brought an FNG (Porter), who was quickly introduced to the meaning of “beatdown”. Conditions: Cool and Damp The Thang: WingBack ran his crew from Legion across Garner’s Ferry to …
6 PAX took their #DRP, dug down to the bottom of their drawer for cold weather gear, and posted in the dark, cold #Legion gloom. Co-Pay approached me last week about joining up for a Legion Co-Q… …quick aside, other than a mud run training last spring, YHC has never posted at #Battle (HC by …
Today marks the 3 year anniversary of F3 Columbia, so I’d like to add my thoughts. I received my name Jar Jar at Brickpile a little over a year ago, and for the first 8 months posted regularly and enjoyed the benefits. I’ve gotten to experience helping open 2 new AO’s (Woodshed and Stumble), EH’d …
So an hour long workout during the week, who does that? People who want 15 more minutes of getting better, that’s who! So YHC woke up way to early, got his passport, and went out to Legion to see if it he was Legion Legit or if he needed to quit. Weather: Low 60’s? The …
9 PAX chose the #RedPill this morning. These men chose to test themselves to see improvements that have been made in their physical fitness. The #MonthlyMurph @ #Legion will prove your current condition, as we all found out once again. Conditions: 72, muggy, then breezy… Mosey to official starting line (the park mailbox) 20 SSH’s …
Wingback asked me a week ago if I would Q this Thursday for him, so naturally I said yes. I love the pax members at Legion, they are awesome and man they are in good shape. I actually like the hour long workout and would do it more often but I have a hard time …
Planning the Q yesterday, YHC wondered what a near full hour of running suicides might feel like. He got his answer: #MurderSuicide. This is how it happened. A dozen men lived to tell the story. Conditions: Misty, Humid, and still a bit warm. The Thang: At the time, leave the parking lot and head up …
7 men arrived in the cool gloom ready to take the hour long #Legion redpill. They got a redpill alright. Conditions: 62 degrees. THE THANG: 4 Corners Ring Run (all together): At each corner do 20 merkins OYO, 30 squats OYO, 40 CLBCs OYO Legion Circuit 35 minute AMRAP Partner with one 45# plate per …
YHC wanted to bring together a few old favorites from past #Legion workouts for a full body Q. The PAX did work this morning. Here’s what we endured. Conditions: 55 and magnificent COP: Mosey to center field and circle up SSH-Burpees x 35 IC (2 burpees for every 5 SSH) IW x 30 IC Mountain …
YHC noticed the clean, freshly-mowed baseball field as he pulled in to the #Legion AO and decided he’d enjoy rolling, jumping, lunging, laying, “merkining(?)” and dodging fire ant piles this morning in the gloom. So, thats exactly what he and his 4 PAX did. Also, with #MonthlyMurph on the horizon (first Thursday of every month), …
8 Pax posted in the gloom to #GetBetter at #Legion. In thinking up his #Weinke, YHC was looking for a little unique inspiration. YHC really enjoys putting together the WOD, using theories from Sub-Prime’s portion of Q school (which all Pax should make a point to attend) and snippets of previously successful Qs from all different AOs. …
Conditions – humid, humid, humid The thang – This YHC decided we would take a tour of Legion today, to all the areas that we get punished at weekly! This will be a quick trip to each part of the park doing two exercises, more or less, at each part of the park. So we …
6 Men appeared in the gloom ready and willing to work this morning at Legion. These guys took everything thrown at them in this workout, and despite the difficulty passed with flying colors. They conquered some serious Ladders and Circuits, did quite a few squats, merkins, pull-ups, etc. – and survived a Battle shoulder circuit …
YHC received an email from old buddy Wingback last week asking for a guest Q. Honored at the request, a date was set and a visit to Hampton Park was made to check out the space. Talks of #LegionLegit put a little extra pressure on the Q to deliver a beatdown worthy of Legion’s growing …
4 dedicated men posted to #Legion this morning ready for a return Q visit by YHC. Wingback was noticeably disturbed by the attendance figure but the four of us made the best….or worst of it and headed out into the darkness. This was an arse-kicker that pretty much delivered from the drop. YHC struggled coming …
Early this morning, while most normal people are still far, far away in la-la-land, 5 PAX decided to post to #Legion to take on the monthly dose of extreme #DRP in the form of the renown workout known as The Murph. A couple “New #Legion Murphers” made an appearance and crushed it. (Jar-Jar and Twinkle …
9 determined PAX posted to #Legion this morning at 5:15 a.m. for YHC’s Q- the largest gathering since the #Launch of the hour-long, weekday workout held at Hampton Park in #F3Columbia. This being the first week of the month, YHC had planned on hitting core and cardio due to the #MonthlyMurph being on deck, come …
7 men met in the Gloom to prove they were #LegionLegit…they were. Here’s what you missed. Disclaimer The Thang: Fast Mosey around park to the Playground. Instructions: Modified Chelsea The Chelsea WOD is a Cross-Fit workout where you do 5 Pull-Ups, 10 Push-Ups, and 15 Squats every minute on the minute. We added 20 crunches …
A few weeks ago I was at a Tuesday bootcamp when we began the workout with a run (heading to a destination that was good distance away). I was jogging beside one of my buddies when he stopped and decided to wait on a member of the pax who was lagging behind and struggling a …
I was talking to a former F3’er the other day who has since switched to crossfit. He felt he need to explain why (he didn’t), he said “I get to work with weights, and with people that know what they are doing.” What he was essentially saying was that F3 doesn’t have the best possible …
YHC had one goal in mind as he rolled out of the #fartsack this morning- Offer an opportunity for full-body destruction. 4 PAX showed up to #Legion for the hour-long trial, and left better, stronger and soaked. The Thang: Mosey to corner of Brandon and Landon. 20 Min AMRAP: 15 Hand-Release Merkins, 15 2-Ct Jump …
5 Pax chose to get better #Legion style and cash in their bonus 15 minutes of torture. May have been the first day in July where it took over 25 seconds to start sweating. Conditions: 76 Degrees with 64% humidity The Thang: Mosey to baseball center field for disclaimer and warm-up: -SSH X 30 4CT …
Legion: First 45 Minutes Free w/ 15 Minutes Bonus Beatdown Time!Read More »
I have to admit, Q’ing at #Legion is a daunting challenge. Pushing guys for an hour when 45 minutes is your norm is a whole different kind of deal… it’s like leading #Battle by yourself and knowing the men around you will give it everything. No disappointment this morning. All eight who posted got their …
5 PAX posted to #Legion this morning in the sticky #gloom to tackle the #MonthlyMurph and #GetBetter. They all pushed themselves extremely hard and it was quite noticeable due to the amount of perspiration seen on all the PAX. This weather aint no joke. Conditions: 76 Deg and 85% humidity COP: Mosey to starting point (Mailbox …
5 men took the hour long #redpill this morning in 91% humidity and left buckets of sweat all around the Brandon Acres neighborhood. Conditions: Only 73 degrees but 91% humidity pressed on the pax. THE THANG: Mosey to the outfield… COP: SSH x 20 Merkins x 10 LBCs x 20 Slo-Mo Merkins x 10 Slo-Mo …
When: July 25 at 8:15 Where: Woodshed Who: All of you What: What is the silent F you ask? Form. Think about it, many of us are out more than two days a week working out at whatever respective destination we call home. We are getting up early to participate in the 1st F to …
Pondo and YHC thought it may be a good idea to join the forces of #Legion and #Woodshed for#JointOp. I’d say all of the PAX came out victors. The two of us transported bricks the day before to make sure we could offer a quality beatdown. Conditions: 75 deg. Rather pleasant. The Thang: Mosey from #Legion …
