Another Tuesday and another record turnout—25 pax brave the cold temps. The Pax were particularly chatty this morning, but were dismayed to find out YHC had a smoker planned. Conditions—COLD No worries, I hear a train coming. Quick Disclaimer right before t...

It was a brisk 36° this morning, but we shook off the chill pretty quickly with some hard work. Special shout-out to 2nd Amendment for his enthusiastic counting. If there was such a thing as a man crush Thursday, he’s mine. Disclaimer Prayer COP Through The...

The chilliest morning yet (that YHC has posted for) didn’t scare 19 Pax away. YHC was thankful to be the Q for the day, otherwise YHC would have been fartsacking. YHC knew that 8 Pax would double down and immediately conduct a 5k ruck, so YHC graciously pla...

Today’s workout was dedicated to celebrating the Cubbies and honoring their long-suffering fans. Fittingly, some of the Pax and (especially) Q Slugger showed up bleary-eyed after a long night of awaiting the outcome of the Greatest World Series Game Ever.™...
YHC thought a little fun after a night of trick or treating was in order, so we had a Halloween party /Variety Show (or whatever you want to call it) with music, frights, and candy. Disclaimer Prayer COP SSH x15 IC TTT x10 IC DQ x10 IC IW x10 IC

The plan for today was simple—let the Pax set a baseline. We have been at it for several months now. Guys are getting stronger and fitter, but the workouts are also getting harder. It can be difficult to get a sense of how much progress is being made withou...

YHC had a conversation with Pythagoras in the not too distant past about how a good ol ab workout was needed. It ain’t needed anymore. The work’s been done. And we’re better for it. Just don’t cough or sneeze for a couple days. This is how it went down. Wea...

You’d think the JC Pax would have learned by now that when Donatello sends out an email and asks for Q’s—someone needs to respond. This day was particularly challenging, given YHC was hobbled coming off a 10K OCR on Sunday. Appearantly jumping from a 9-10 f...
Worst way ever to start a workout today, fellas…a TRAIN? AT 6:58AM? So much for a warm up…But many props to Rite Aid to just jump in there and get us doing Burpees instead of wimpin’ out!! I guess…ANYWAY!!! We warmed up with 42 Side Straddle Hops (since the VQ

With eight brothers gearing up for the Goliath 10K course on Sunday, I was inspired to simulate a run-heavy obstacle course as best as we could on our home turf. Plus, I hate to run, so I always schedule a lot of it when I’m on the Q. Disclaimer Prayer COP

Today’s plan was simple. YHC had planned to spring a nice little shuttle run beep test on the Pax, but after 2.5 miles of stairs yesterday—audible. Back in the day—before F3—a deck of cards was my go to workout when I wanted variety but didn’t want to put t...
So as with any PAX there is always a good story. For this one we need to go back 15 yrs when I fell on my bucket and scrambled a few eggs…..jk. That did happen but it has nothing to do with this story. Seriously, as usual Donatello and I(Honcho)
…or Why are they called Jack Webbs? YHC is on Fall Break and spent yesterday chasing my 2.0s around Dollywood. Why would I pick today to Q? That’s not rhetorical. Someone tell me what I was thinking. Anyway, I’ve been frustrated since been robbed of $10 mil...
