Unlocking the Merks for some Sandy Walmart Burps fun without the beach after being Thunderstruck

AO: Danger Zone Date: 5/17/19 PAX: Archetype, Cataracts, One Direction, Pierogi, Press On, Sosa, WWW What a beautiful day for some beach sandy fun without the beach. My body was still trying to recover from the workouts this week but that was not going to deter me from challenging these HIMs. I know they are up to the challenge. The PAX was ready to go so we did the F3 admin stuff and Pledged our Allegiance to Ole Glory. [Read More]

No Merkins Today, Boys!

After yesterday’s chest and shoulder Kitty Kluster at Sippery When Wet, YHC decided it to be leg and abs morning. With the Brave and Mighty Oliie posting for a solo 5-mile EC, the remaining 23 less motivated PAX assembled for the pledge and headed out on a mosey across High House for a warm up. Let it be noted that Pet Sounds posted, fresh from RDU and red-eye from Cali! [Read More]

May the Carpex 4th be with you!

YHC is not known for Theme workouts, and to be fair, this is the only themed workout I’ve ever done, and could very possibly be the only. I’m just not very creative. I saw the Q spot open and grabbed it….LONG before realizing it was on May the 4th…..AKA Star Wars day. So, I had to come up with something. I even created a playlist, then left my BT speaker at home.

Til Valhalla

By chance, the Q for Rolling Stone this week was vacant when Hello Kitty sent out the Sunday night lineup for the week. By even better chance, Friday was May 3rd, the third anniversary of the death of Naval Special Warfare Operator 1st Class Charles H. Keating IV (SEAL). See, I did not know Charlie. He grew up in Arizona and was an elite runner who ended up at Indiana University on scholarship. [Read More]

We rolled back the prices with Walmart Burpees

Date: 5/2/2019 AO: Bounty Hunters PAX: Cataracts, Cheddar Bo, Crimson, Freebird, Frisco, Honeycomb, Imp, Kitty Litter, Michelob, Mud Buddy, Old Maid, Orphan, Oxtail, Pivot, Quequeg, Qwerty, Rooney, Schlitz, Slappy, Smokey, Sooey, Sooey’s Dad, Sub, Traffic Cone, Ultra, Wonderbread, Whirlie, WWW As I continue my quest to Q every week for 2019, my fear is to run out of exercises to do or create a workout that will challenge the HIMs. As for running out of exercises, that won’t happen because F3 created a great document with all kinds of things to do.

Spartan Training #1 at A Team

Date: 4/30/2019 QIC: Parker YHC signed up for the Asheville Spartan Super later this summer, following in the footsteps of Build-a-Bear, GTL, Malpractice, Spartan, and I’m sure a bunch of other PAX who enjoy this sort of thing. BaB just keeps telling YHC to work on grip strength, so that’s what we set out to do today at A-Team. 15 PAX gathered at the gate, disclaimer and F3 mission statement given, Pledge said, and off we go.
