A 10-PAX of high energy HIMs shrugged off the fartsack to embrace a 40 degree DTH beatdown. After seeing the virgin turf of the new baseball fields during the ruck, YHC decided it was high time for breaking in new ground. Here’s a tough one for the history books.

Where two or more are gathered…great things can happen. Big Rig joined YHC for a few loops around Rockwood and inspecting the new baseball turf fields while discussing deep matters of life change. The beginning of change is recognizing something needs improving. We all have blind spots and sometimes the things we most need to change we can’t see ourselves without the insights of a loving brother. YHC is thankful for Big Rig and so many others who have shown up, led by example, and earned a seat at the accountability table. We are stronger together brothers. Yours AYE! ~DTH…
Chaplain may not have been at The Graveyard Shift on the misty, sometimes rainy morning at the track at Swift Creek Middle, but his presence was felt. The Dirty Thirty was his creation, and two Swift Freaks decided to awaken it from the dead. On this, the 30th day of October, the eve of Halloween, The Dirty Thirty was ready to unleash it’s fury. It almost had each of them spewing Merlot like exorcised little girls. But they kept the beast at bay. So after the 30 sprints of 100 meters, almost every minute on the minute, for 30 minutes,…
SIXTEEN HIMs were not deterred by the cold and rainy forecast, choosing instead to jump aboard the NTB beatdown bus. The following is based on real events: Hot Start – 1 burpee in honor of baby Zoe’s first birthday today. Then off for a mosey to the soccer fields. Stopped at the bridge to pay the toll despite Snuff’s protest. Warmarama One lap around the right field skipping and frolicking for a dynamic warm up. Then we circled up in the middle for a disclaimer and a variety of IC movements. COP #1 – Kilo-Dora 100 Merkins/200 Squats/300 LBCs/400 SSHs…
YHC was flying solo this morning, but got in some needed Pull Ups. EMOM Pull-ups, Dips, and Jerkins, changing grips, and doing some negatives.
It was a cool, damp morning in the gloom in the Bermuda Triangle. The chance of rain managed to keep the soft commits in the fart sack, but there were 2 PAX that knew that it doesn’t rain in The Bermuda Triangle. The clock struck 530, and the PAX were off for a mosey around Ecoff Elementary, about a half mile, then into the standard warmarama complete with Nancy Kerrigan’s, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, Merkins, and LBCs. 1st COP Merkin Burnout Four Corners Prostitute Style 12 Merkins at each corner (Or to Failure) 1st corner Standard Merkins 2nd corner Wide…
We’ve all been there, trying to rush out the door for a workout and the keys are nowhere to be found. Doozy sent the 5:15 AM text to YHC as he frantically searched the house. Figured he’d catch up with Bullseye and I so basic directions were provided and sure enough, after keys secured, the River Runners met out on the route. 4 miles achieved around River Downs. Today’s topic of conversation – medical procedures. -Singer

A salty dozen Forge vets truly embraced the suck this morning taking on the New Glory challenge. Their venerable Q threw down the gauntlet that completing three rounds in 30 minutes is the gold standard for badass fitness level, and these HIM’s showed UP!

17 HIMs came out for what planned to be an easier, low cardio start to the week. YHC started off with a little mosey and some warmarama ( SSH, Cherrypickers, Dead man Hang, Merkins, Freddies, LBCs). With there being 17 YHC thought “the pain cage” would be too small for the group to do a 4 corners so had to audible to do a 4 corners in the parking lot. Our resident women’s famous golfer of the group immediately commented that it was the smallest 4 corners he had ever seen and YHC took note….we completed the 4 corners. on…
