YHC rolled into the Mammoth/IronHaul parking lot to see what might be on the menu for this gloom. We’ve been discussing swapping the 2 AO’s to allow Monday to be a recovery day and doing KB’s on Tuesdays. Anyway! It was a solo party for this lonely Beaver so YHC opted for the Iron Haul run and logged some miles all over PFP while ensuring I did not encounter any copperheads!
A duo of not so dastardly dudes emerged from the 70 & sunny gloom for Week 3 of the 2025 Iron Pax Challenge! We were greeted by the sweet odor of an overflowing septic tank in the area that stuck with us throughout the entire challenge, we might get some sort of bonus reps for enduring such putrid circumstance.
The Thang
Set 40 minute timer with buzzer every five mins to run 25 yards and perform 5 burpees.
AMRAP – Perform 40 reps of all 4 of the following exercises as many circulations as possible. Count the total quantity of reps completed, burpees do not count.
Numbers, Names & a dispenser full of coffee!
Prayers that baby August makes a safe and healthy arrival very soon.
Ruck stuff tonight 20:00-24:30 in RVA. See Slack for more details.
One more week of the IPC coming! Let’s finish strong!
2 New Kent fellows met up in Downtown Richmond on lunch break to get some 1st & 2nd F time in with a walk around Browns Island and then some. Thanks for showing me the area Choo Choo! I know we celebrated Memorial Day Convergence there but it’d be really cool to have a regular AO there.
Us New Kent fellas love IPC so much we put Week 2 on replay! 4 he-man woman haters emerged from the gloom to get this 8 track party rolling! We had a sore Beaver and Choo Choo from Weds IPC session and tried our best to prepare Yukon and Wonka on what to expect, not sure if we added any value because it sounds like they’re already sore.
There wasn’t a whole lot of chatter during the workout as we all passed eachother like ships in the night.
Convergence tomorrow!
3 High Impact Men emerged from the gloom for an OTBs Wet One with the Iron Pax Challenge Week 2! Our HIM Commando couldn’t make it this Friday for IPC Wk2, he was determined to get it in this morning. Choo Choo and YHC loved the sound of that, so we came out to support him in checking that box and by golly it was a challenge indeed!
We didn’t have a track, but we made due. Set up a 100m straight run in the parking lot(run out and back 2 times to get that 400m buy in) and set a coupon 33.3 yrds out with the range finder and we were off!
COT with an emphasis on prayer and that we be a light to this community and nation. Great prayer by Commando!
Do not grow weary my friends, stay strong and keep faith in the Lord!
1 HIM emerged from the gloom onto PFP with a couple of kettlebells and no big plans for this mornings Mammoth Balls. Beaver got a little crazy and performed a plethora of exercises, some of which might be included in this IPCs Week 2 “8 Track” routine.
Have a blessed day everyone!
8 High Impact Men emerged from the dusk onto the Pine Fork Park football field for the 2025 Iron Pax Challenge Week 0! YHC was so excited he woke up numerous times hoping it was time to get after it! There was some dispute of the spread of tunes in which no one approved of, but we didn’t let that slow us down!
Choo Choo led us in Warmarama at centerfield! We then meandered over to the whiteboard to do a final overview of the Week 0 workout.
The workout took much longer than I think any of us anticipated. No halfass reps here!
Choo Choo and Commando were sidelined being on IR but they remained mobile as ChooChoo ran and Commando rucked! Way to keep moving men!
Numbers (8) & Namarama! Announcement & Prayer Requests- IPC Week 1 coming soon, we’ll keep you updated on the NewKent channel. Continue to keep Yoda in your prayers. Way to perform men! YHC can’t wait for the next one!
3 handsome man missles emerged from the darkness for a workout led by YHC that would prime us for IPC tomorrow. As Boyz II Men would say, “Not too hard, but not to soft”.
Mosey to the Octagon for Warmarama!

Let’s go to Dunkin for Coffeeteria! Yea we got places for some F2 out here!
2 High Impact Hunks emerged from the gloom onto Iron Haul for a run featuring many stops along the way doing 10 reps of various exercises to burn some calories.
Glad to have you out this morning Commando, thanks for doing the run with me.
Moleskin: The Why – it came up in conversation and it’s always great to be reminded of why we work out. There are many reason why, primarily for my family, not far from that is for my country. How do you want to pay your respects and honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our great nation to have the freedoms we have? I once ended every evening wasting my days away by drinking myself to sleep, on Memorial Day of 2024 that changed when I began to make healthier eating habits and exercise, by that 4th of July I stopped drinking and so proud to have stuck with these decisions so far. All this to say, don’t forget your Why. Stay the course and stay strong for your family, your countrymen and your predecessors.
Much love to you men.
