There are a few infamous songs in the fitness community with repetitive lyrics. Thunderstruck and Roxanne came to mind are absolutely terrible. YHC did a little searching on the internets and found a few more and prescribed some exercises to them. The Sturgill Simpson song doesn’t have a repetitive lyric…I just like and decided to …
Gilbert America flexed its muscle this AM as 32 men posted for Day 4 of The Gauntlet. A few of us started a high intensity workout on Thursday’s at Tomahawk a few months back. Not that other bootcamps aren’t high intensity but 150 burpees and running up and down Goat Hill before, during, and after …

Found Fat Amy searching for WODs on the internets and decided HIThursday was the right place to introduce her. Decided to throw in some Goat Hill Miles to please the crowd (and fill time). Burpee count was pretty high (80) so YHC apologized on behalf of Amy to known burpee-hater Peachy. As always, enjoyed it, …
Shoutout to F3 Harrisburg for this WOD. This was originally posted by them during COVID lockdown when we were doing virtual workouts. YHC has been hanging onto this one and decided to bring it out, inserting Tysons instead of the prescribed Merkins. Always a great time with the Thursday Tomahawk crew. Conditions: mid 40s The …

After Tomahawk’s inaugural HIThursday of the the Bert and the subsequent Goat Hill Gauntlet, YHC had to dial up a good’n. We bought in with 50 burpees up and down Goat Hill and cashed out with the same. The middle consisted of some other fun stuff that shot to thrill. The crowd seemed pleased. Certified …
YHC signed up to Q at Tomahawk over the weekend. I know it’s been a while, but is must have been longer that I was thinking. There has been lots added to the school, and parking has changed since the last time I was there. Luckily I ran into a few familiar faces before start …

Yeah it’s been too long since I made the trip to Tomahawk. But I managed to find my way there, on time. I brought my 7-11s routine which typically is just enough kick in the pants to get everyone’s day started off right. Here is how it went down… 1 minute warning, intro, disclaimer, no …

Campaign Q #25 took YHC to Gilbert America where we saw a skunk. Also, we learned that Grout can’t count and Peachy was an all conference punter averaging 48.5 yds per punt. It was a good morning. Below is a brief recap: Conditions: 57 degrees The Thang: Disclaimer BOM Warm up mosey to grab a …
To the tunes of Grout’s favorite band, the men of Tomahawk were introduced to YHC’s favorite weekly workout, Cromp. It’s a mixture of Crypt and Stomp, hence the name Cromp. We lacked pull up bars so we modified to block burpees. Cromp AOQ would’ve been proud. It was fun hearing the mumblechatter from Tomhawhk faithful, …
The tour guys decided to pay Tomahawk a visit. A good mix of tour All-Stars and some of Tomahawk’s finest met in the muggy gloom for some Mystery Q. Turns out that Mystery QIC was YHC. A good time was had with blocks and some tunes. Tclaps to Jar Jar for traveling all the way …

Mumble Chatter was quiet without the Grout Not Impressed posting. I didn’t know the “Van Driver” needed to taper too. Hopefully to …
Well another AO gets a taste of the beers on the wall routine. Like my past couple of Qs, I mixed this in with Mary. Since it was really cold, it was kinda good to not do cardio and suck in a lot of cold air. We had 8 PAX today. Conditions: cold, I mean real cold, but …

Tomahawk is easily one of the top F3LexSC AOs in terms of terrain and options for beatdowns. The pax have likely learned by now that YHC loves to use hills to assist in betterment. This AM’s frost made this workout on the steep hills of Gilbert High a little more challenging. Here’s what we did: …

The 4th of July always brings Gilbert and the Peach Festival to the center of everyone’s attention. I am no exception, especially since my M is from Gilbert and in-laws live right downtown on Broad Street. So I’ve been going to the Peach Festival since around 1990. It’s always a good time. They really need …

10 Pax beat the tardy bell and made it to the extra gloomy gloom of Tomahawk for a lesson on form. YHC has been on the mend and going to PT. Being told that you have to relearn how to stand and walk with proper form was eye opening. After some extensive research into proper …
Bubba Gump can name all the variations of shrimp dishes. The men of Tomahawk can now name all the variations of merkins. We did burpee merkins, plank jack merkins, dive bomb merkins, diamond merkins, wide merkins…Tinkle even modified to something harder and did inchworm merkins. We also performed Swansea math. It was another great morning …
6 Pax joined YHC in the gloom of Tomahawk for an introduction to the Cyclone. The mumblechatter was minimal due to the absence of the Pax who is not easily impressed. YHC did get the opportunity to do a normal COP to start the activities, per the F3 standard, without continuous harassment. No time today …
The August 2017 analytics confirm what we already knew. We have 3 problematic AOs. Turning Point, SnakePit and The Hollow are all (and have been) averaging 20+ pax for bootcamps. In an effort to stay ’43 feet ahead’, a plan is in place and it’s big. We’re going to launch 3 new AOs in a …
10 Pax defeated the siren’s call of the fartsack to post in the gloom of Tomahawk this morning for a cardio-heavy dose of betterment. YHC had an internal battle while planning the festivities with whether or not to start with a “warmup” COP since the AOQ’s rule of thumb is “No warmup and no modifying.” …
