Revenge the Fifth - Happy Sith Day!

I am a Star Wars fan nerd and coming off Q’ing yesterday, May The 4th Be With You, I had to continue with today - May 5th or Revenge of the Fifth playing off the words of Episode 3 - Revenge of the Sith. The Dark Side of the Force was strong this AM. “True power can come only to those who embrace the transformation.”- Darth Revan. Pledge of Allegiance [Read More]

Tin2Iron Cluster Q

1/27/2022 No Q to start the workout so YHC took control and called out the cluster Q format. Each HIM will think about 2 exercises and will lead it for the amount of reps they liked to reach. 5 HIMs braved the cold but it was glorious. Ausfahrt made the call to grab pavers so we obliged. YHC: Called a mosey around the pickle and we warmed up using the pavers, Alleluias, curls, and tricep extensions. [Read More]

10 rounds with Mike Tyson

1/18/2022 7 HIMS for 10 rounds with Mike Tyson (Yogi style). It was in the sub-20s this morning and it was essential to get going quickly to get the body warmed up. YHC quickly did some quick calisthenics so we could get to the workout. Getting 10 rounds in within 45 mins pushes the time. Thang: 5 stops with 10 reps / stop Round 1: Diamond merkins Round 2: LBC (4 count) [Read More]

Birthday Q focused on 8-Block Vision Board for 2022 Creation and Beatdown!!!

Originally created by F3 CSPAN and adopted to fit workout. The idea with the 8 Block is to IDENTIFY THE AREAS WHERE YOU NEED TO WORK ON AND WRITE THEM DOWN. This way you can refer back to it. While you are working out, pick a word for the year. This will help you focus and refer to your 8-Block periodically. Front-side: Start in the top left block: focus on you Concentrica; partner up [Read More]

Claymore 9/21/21: Shuffle up and squeal

Ten brave PAX found their way to the constructioniest site in central Cary on a beautiful Tuesday morning, hoping for a dose of pain. The Deck of Death was there to deliver. Pre-event mumblechatter was relocated to the first base side in hopes of avoiding any Karen-related altercations. Short warm-up: SSH, MC, Merkins, and some BartmArmORama. Mosey to the rock pile and grab an ego rock. Foie Gras, VHS, and Kinky Boots were briefed on the Deck of Death: [Read More]

5 Years of F3 Sn2Fe Style

As many eye rolls and sighs of exasperation YHC received last night for, arguably, emphasizing the “DA” in HIDA with this Q, it was gonna happen. Not to get all sappy with y’all but there is very little I can say I have been doing - and loving - for five years and running. Yes, the 1st brings us out but truly it is the 2nd that keeps us coming … and growing … and building off each other. [Read More]

Front Toward Enemy

AO: Claymore Workout Date: 08/10/21 I scoped out the park on the internet, but arrived too late to scout. With only a couple of minutes to spare, I peppered site Q Skipper with multiple AO-related questions. Hopefully this did not worry him too much. Warm Up: State the mission, check for FNGs(0), and give the disclaimer. Side Straddle Hops x20 In Cadence (IC) Good Mornings x5 IC Sir Fazio Arm Circles forward x10 IC [Read More]

Another Yank safely contained

Last Saturday, YHC moved from Chatham county closer to the center of the Carpex universe, going from 0 AOs* within an EC-able 3-mile radius to approximately half of all the AOs in Carpex (or as HK calls it, the Nation). What better way to move in, meet new Pax, and ensure that YHC wakes up and works out each day instead of sleeping in on a week off than to Q every day at a Cary AO? [Read More]

Fun Bags

‘Twas a lovely morning in the POGL as four stalwarts converged on the site of Tin2Iron for some work. YHC has been doing some ruck & sandbag training and thought it would be the gentlemanly thing to do to share some of the experience with the PAX. A slowzy around the pickle, and a warm up with Good Mornings, Merkins, Mountain Climbers, and BartmArmORama (Sir Fazio, seal clap, fazio sir, overhead clap, moroccan nightclub). [Read More]

From Sea to Shining... Forest?

Coming from a quick meeting with my Shield Lock had me rolling in hot at 0528. Hi-Liter gives me the 2:07 warning. A healthy crowd awaited eager to sweat out the weekend of indulgence in the name of honoring the mothers in our lives. Props to all the HIMs out there who lifted up their Ms this weekend. That Most important relationship in our lives is often the one who imparts to our 2. [Read More]
