It was a beautiful morning with pink and purple skies with temperatures in the high 60s, perfect for my first Q at Rock N Roll. Yesterday at Satan’s Hill, Mudslide and Purple Rain challenged me to take the Q. So challenge accepted and we were off. 10 HIMS were present for this morning’s beat down. A short mosey down the loop to an empty parking lot for the warm up which included SSH, imperial walkers, Ukrainian soldiers, cherry pickers, LBCs, merkins, and some various stretches. COP 1: mosey to the tennis courts for a 4 corners, prostitute style: 10 merkins,…

It’s often mentioned that Alamo and surrounding AOs are just pavement, and we like it that way! There’s a new neighborhood opening by Satans Hill and the smell of new pavement got us from six to midnight and we had to go explore. Nancy brought the ghost flag as a reminder of the power he possesses, but he held onto the flag for another day. YHC announced we had a long mosey, and away we went. Up the main road and hang a right at the construction zone. Warm up included standard items, but we added a new one, the…
Four HIMs posted this morning to sling some iron for Mammoth Balls. A fellow brother mentioned that “only women use kettlebells under 35 pounds.” That comment had three of us briefly questioning our life choices… and our manhood. But we pressed on pride bruised here’s how it went down….. Warmarama All the wives and moms Arm circles Copperhead squats A lot of moaning Imaginary jump rope Thang Grab the cindy’s and kettlebells We made our way to the parking lot and lined up shoulder to shoulder. The format was simple. One PAX called out a kettlebell exercise for the group,…
Five HIMs came together this morning to do some soul searching and to figure out why we were out here sweating like crazy in what felt like 100 degrees, with grass clippings ending up in places they definitely shouldn’t be. But not a single complaint was heard, and we crushed it. Here’s how it all went down… Warmarama Mosey to back of the park Arm circles Chinooks All the wives and moms SSH Copperhead Squats Grab a Cindy and head to that Bermuda Thang! We tackled a workout inspired by Poolboy’s 100th post. The YHC made a few slight tweaks…
9 warriors of the gloom descended upon the earliest AO. Some surprised that Bacons Bits was leading the Q and brief discussion on whether this should be a VQ or VQ#2 since its been some time but the clock struck 5 and we were off. Short jaunt over to the end of the lot to pick up Hitch and around the lot to the front of the Church for COP. Appreciated the guidance and chatter to keep me in line during COP, as mentioned its been a minute. COP: various stretches, cherry pickers, side straddle hops, hand release merkins and…
The following is Based on a true story …. This morning, 16 battle-ready HIMs rolled into the Woodshed to witness Teddy KGB’s glorious VQ debut — and boy, the chips were cashed in. We kicked things off with a mosey around the lot, gracefully leaping puddles like majestic gazelles in New Balances. Warm-up was textbook: Side Straddle Hops, Merkins, and LBCs to get the blood flowing and the chatterboxes humbled. Then came the real fun. Coupons were expertly stashed just out of sight like hidden Easter eggs for grown men. We partnered up and went to work: farmer carries…
Just the two of us stepped out to finally use some of the coupons we’ve been neglecting. The YHC felt we needed a solid upper body beatdown and he definitely delivered. This is how it went down….

10 gloom brothers of the F.O.R.G.E. embraced the suck this morning, pushing beyond the boarders of the AO and the standard comfort of carrying just their own body weight. Here’s how the PAX embraced some fresh coupons: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Run to bottom of hill, Bernie back to top Someone remarks “UH OH, DTH IS MAD…” Circle up at the Flag Welcome & Disclaimer A smattering of many usual DTH warm-up exercises, but fast paced with only x5 reps IC each COP # 1: ELEVENS at the topmost grass slope of Mt Chaplain Incline Merkins at the bottom 10–>1 WWII’s…
7 HIM’s converged at Rockwood for a ride on the pain train, which in YHC’s estimation isn’t nearly as brutal as in past years, BUT plenty of reps nonetheless. Here’s how we crushed the comfort zone for the day: The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey loop around the lot and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer A myriad of IC Reps to get all body areas sufficiently warmed up KILODORA: Partner Up, with one HIM doing reps while the other runs the lot and back to switch x100 No Cheat Merkins x200 Heels To Heaven x300 Squats x400 LBC’s CABER SPRING CLEANING: Mosey…
Eleven HIM’s converged at Ruckhenge in 1000% humidity to happily discover that a new DTH caber would accompany their morning ruck. This conifer log is about 8’ long and weighs about 80-100 pounds, dense with embedded sap. The PAX took turns in pairs to share her uncomfortable weight as we looped through Larus and local neighborhoods. (See pictures on Slack). Dealer was heard to exclaim “oof, that log just hits different!” An official name of this hefty new coupon is still in progress but current candidates like “Justinian” and “Sophia” hail from our new book “The Uses of the Past:…
