Fall Break Flogging

After spending a considerable amount of time on the Q early on during the launch—YHC has been content to sit back for the past several weeks/months, relishing in the emerging leadership of the new JC Pax. Men have been consistently stepping up and leading the workouts, it’s awesome to witness. After a considerable hiatus, it was time for YHC to step back on the Q and put a Fall Break Flogging on the JC Pax.

Really, we have several guys running the Goliath at the Gorge (10K OCR) in two weeks. Since YHC put the EH on these guys to sign up, I feel somewhat responsible for making sure they are prepared. There is a typical pattern to ORC’s YHC has experienced: anxious energy and excitement to get started that’s quickly followed by a swift kick in the jewels. The kick in the jewels is then typically followed by a gut check—usually after getting passed by a female or a 20 year old with a smirk—that ends with some aggressive self talk—”Hell nah, I’m not going down like this, get moving”

This Q was intentionally designed to mimic this process—a swift kick in the jewels followed by a gut check.

Strong work by the Pax. This was a cardio smoker, by intention. The guys hung in there like champ’s and keep getting better every day. It’s truly been an honor to watch these guys get better day in and day out. Good things happening in Johnson City—and our F3 SWAG is ready to go up for pre-order!
