Billy Run The Back Way

Gotta be honest, YHC was a little nervous headed into this morning’s workout. I’ve Q’ed a million times, but this was my first hour long solo Q. Could I handle the extra fifteen minutes? Let’s find out. Warm-Up Face the Flag for the Pledge, then take a lap around the parking lot before circling up for imperial walkers, Sir Fazios, cotton pickers and burpees. The Thang Mosey out to the park entrance and travel along High House Road to the other entrance, stopping at each light pole for ten merkins, then continue down Bond Park Drive to the Lazy Days Playground, stopping at every other light pole for ten squats.

Death Wish

Pre-Blast Charles Bronson once said, “Maybe I’m too masculine.” He was referring to the fact that he was not getting certain movie roles. After the strong showing I witnessed this morning, the 10 HIM who joined YHC this morning won’t get hired either. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag Run the long way around the middle school out to the street back down and halfway up Andy Hill. Circle up for: Michael Phelps arm swings, Groiner Merkins, extended plank series with stretches and exercises. [Read More]

Get your flow on

Five stalwarts ignored the impending rain and the specter of a Bartman Q to post at A-Team. It always rains at A-Team. YHC had visited the beach twice this weekend, once for business and once for pleasure. On the second trip, I was thinking “man, I’m really looking forward to BroGa tomorrow.” Then I remembered I had the Q. Well, if I couldnt’t go to BroGa, maybe I could bring some BroGa to Carpex.

Heavens to Murgatroyd

Pre-Blast In Welch, Murgatroyd means: a clearing in the forest on the way to the moore. So, there’s that. An even dozen HIM showed one another what it means to be in F3: no man left behind, no man where we find him. So proud of the guys who stayed with their brothers throughout this tough workout. The men refused to leave anyone alone. Just awesome. The Warmup Pledge of Allegiance at the flag. [Read More]

#mccantsweek - Day 6 - BLAZE OF GLORY

If you don’t have Bon Jovi playing right this minute. Stop reading. Queue it up. Crank it up. Crack one. I woke up this morning and I raised my weary head. I’m a devil on the run. Thrown out of school for bringing a six pack and two guns. Well they tell me I’m wanted, yeah, I’m a wanted. And when I’m shot down, I’ll be shot down in a MF blaze of glory. [Read More]

The Oregon Trail

We gathered in Independence, MO to warm up and decide if we should be a Farmer (Sprinkler and Cotton Pickers), a Banker (Good Mornings, I’m assuming a banker would say Good Morning), or a Carepenter (Merkins…there is no tie in, but merkins are always good).
