15 rushed to the Alamo in the early gloom to find no “Q” on the “Q” sheet. A dim light on the gathering of weary souls in the parking lot. The air was thick with a palpable sense of reluctance. The “gloom”, as they affectionately call it, was more than just the early morning fog; it was a collective mood of resignation from the “Q”. Embracing the gloom and the need to lead, Futon, Warby and Meatball started to toss the hot potato. And with that, the early morning gloom settled back into its familiar routine, as the PAX prepared…

6 Iron Bridge Farmers carried themselves to Goyne Park for the latest edition of The Iron Bridge. It was a little warmer this morning, felt more like a summer morning. But still 70 and sunny. Start out at the cushy playground surface, which for some reason was littered with tootsie rolls, for the standard warmarama. then over to the coupon cow pasture. PAX take turns Farmer’s carry 2 cindies to the tree then run back while the rest of the PAX complete this circuit on repeato until all PAX do the Farmer’s carry. 16 Curls16 Overhead Presses16 Oblique Lifts Left16…
After assuming YHC would be the only PAX running before the beatdown at Twin Team, YHC was surprised to see Big Rigs truck in the parking lot. Apparently, he had already been running. We took off at 5am down Robious and circled back in time for a kettlebell workout with NTB. As always, great convo. YHC asked Big Rig what route he took before I arrived and he stated he ran up Twin Team road because basically, It doesnt make sense to come out to this AO and not hit Twin Team hill. YHC would have to disagree with that…
Great week of Q’s in SOJ, YHC felt he had to deliver a good one to close the week out strong. Caravans of clown cars rolled in and 19 HIMs emerged to take on a balmy Friday gloom. It went down something like this. Quick mosey to the first mailbox on the hill and back to the lot. SSH, Ukrainian Soldiers, Imperial Walkers, Arm Circles, Merkins, Alabama Prom Dates and light stretching honoring members of the PAX. Time to work! We began with the Iron Dog Gauntlet. Break out into 4 groups – 1 person begins the gauntlet, everyone else…
If I mess up, we all mess up. Luckily for the 8 HIMs who came out in the gloom – with McRib literally emerging from the gloom, YHC doesn’t make mistakes! Borrowing a Q idea from Doozy, we had the 2nd Annual Disc Open at Timberwolf Hollow! Mosey around the bus loop and settled in at the corner of the lot where we could get up close and personal with each other for some solid stretching. Traditions were thrown to the side and no SSHs were done, instead a curtailed list of high-intensity stretches were performed to get us ready…
23 years later, we still remember where we were and who we were with that day. 9/11 will always be a day that we never forget. 19 Fighters, including 4 FNGs (Unfortunately, 1 FNG had to leave early and will be named at a future workout hopefully) came out to the Green Mile this morning for a 9/11 themed workout to honor the lives lost. Here is how it went down: Warm up: Mosey to the bus parking lot, F3 Mission Statement/Disclaimer/Principles, IC exercises including SSH, Helicopters, Ukrainian Soldiers, Copperhead Squats, Deadman Hang, LBCs, Roscoe’s Mom COP 1: Mosey to…
3 Iron HIMS decided to get a jumpstart on Week 1’s Iron Pax. YHC was still sore AF from WK 0, thanking the SkyQ that this week’s circuit was only super shitty, not a full on world ender. During the warmarama, we got a nice little treat and observed the SpaceX Polaris booster that looked to be returning after the initial launch. Totally wild sight. We opted to setup in the parking lot for better lighting and for cindy sliding with the murder bunnies. Pool Boy brought the area work light which is my NEW FAVORITE! Popped on the newly…
A terrible backblast title…….but an excellent workout this morning! Draper and I hit the streets at 6am sharp. The route took us through the paved trails, and we made a stop at the lake to check out the sunrise. Lots of large birds about! Excellent conversation with my WEAG brother. SYITG
The same 2 Iron savages hit the jungle gym at Ecoff Elementary for a rare Saturday Pull Up Session. Beaver was eager to work on his pull ups. This dude always strives for perfect form. He is truly a beast. Here’s what went down.. or up. After the typical stretches, we hit the monkey bars. Hollow Rocks Chest to Bar Pull Ups Over to the tall pull up bar for some ladders. We would take turns doing multiple grips and increasing rep counts until failure Standard, Wide Grip, Chin Up, Narrow Grip, Dips. Finish up with one Pull up Negative…
2 Iron Savages hit the streets around Goyne Park for a warmup run to get ready for a busy morning. Great to catch up with Beaver and get to know a little bit more about him. Look out for a new AO in New Kent, it’s coming. Great to get a couple miles in with the Beaves.
