YHC noticed the Thunder PAX have been branching out and diversifying the workouts lately. Not being the creative type, YHC decided to take the opposite approach and throw it back to a Thunder staple and YHC’s favorite 5:30 a.m. pastime: running through the streets of Shandon, doing burpees in intersections. The Thang Warm-up lap around …
20 men appeared in the Thunder gloom yesterday morning ready for work and ready to help F3 Columbia hit 150 pax posting on the same morning (we hit 160…boom). The men of Thunder did their part on both fronts and men got better. (Side note: YHC is usually a same day backblast kinda guy but …
Twenty Thunder pax arrived at the parking lot of Hand Middle School this morning for another installment of a Costanza Q. Intensity was high, we kept the pace going. Great work by all. YHC attempted to keep the rep count to 10 (with some exceptions) today to allow some recovery between sets, and help the …
Conditions: A very tolerable 72° with 76% humidity. The Backstory: This is going to be a bit unusual for a BackBlast, but YHC needs to share a secret with everyone. Nothing too crazy, like when Terry Griffith reveals she is really a woman to unconventional love interest Rick Morehouse at the end of the 1985 teen …
Rarely does an AO make a request of a visiting Q… but that doesn’t keep YHC from continuing to ask just because sometimes you get some funny answers. McLovin (Yes, he’s to blame), upon being asked that question, responded “180 Proof #DRP”. Looking for something new, this Q took that as a challenge. #TheThang below is the …
One of the joys of serving as AOQ includes setting up the Q schedule. At #Thunder (a land filled with one #LarryBird after another), scheduling the Q’s is a lot of fun with one #Snotwoggler after another. However, one of the responsibilities of AOQ is to step in when the schedule goes a little haywire. YHC …
Tank Top Thursday, a #Thunder tradition unlike any other, did not disappoint July 30th. Much gratitude to our own Paperboy for giving us a new spin on the typical American Flag tank: Tassles. Also props to McLovin for his mid workout nature call. 19 pax total for a tough mid summer beat down. Conditions: 80ish …
22 Pax showed up to welcome Traitor back from a long absence due to recent travels. This was not so much a beatdown as a test to see if the “simple” exercises could be made difficult by many, many, many repetitions. Special thanks to Windy for planting this seed. Conditions: 70’s, humid and sprinklers going …
11 faithful pax got an unexpected double dose Tuesday morning. After a week off from F3, a three day golf tournament with extracurriculars over the weekend, bad diet and Thunder’s trademark humidity, YHC only made it 30 minutes into the Q before spilling merlot. I’ll blame it on the difficulty of the workout and the …
20 PAX showed up for another rendition of Paperboy’s greatest hits and were left sweaty and sore, but #better. YHC put the word out on the twitter that tank tops were encouraged in an effort to up our #tanktopthursday numbers, and there would be consequences for those non-believers. With only half the group showing support, …
