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!

Fresh off GTE #59, L Woods took the Q and challenged the PAX to reflect on one question before the beatdown began:“What’s one thing you need to get back on track in your life?” We then proceeded to work the track for the entirety of the post.

A robust PAX of 18 celebrants posted to the Forge in support of DTH completing Seven Years in F3. Their reward for posting was, as expected, a one of a kind ride on the pain train mixing pure sweatfest brutality with a theme of sevens, a nice tour of the AO, lovely background beats to keep the energy flowing, and generating a little Garmin sketch with our movements. Here’s to seven years! The THANG: WARMERAMA: Mosey over in front of the school and circle up Welcome & Disclaimer Warm-up Reps (always x7 reps IC) SEVEN OF DIAMONDS: Stops for the…

After a brisk jog around the bus circle, at the foot of Mount Chaplain, a surprise awaited — a stash of pavers hidden behind a bush, courtesy of DTH, who apparently moonlights as the Easter Bunny of concrete. From that moment on, the stones became our best friends. They got lifted, rolled, dragged, pressed, and cursed at. If you were here, you carried rocks. If you weren’t here, your shoulders thank you. Warmerama: side straddle hops, don quixotes, Ukrainian soldiers, imperial walkers. lbcs, merkins, roscoe’s mom, Fudds wife, Wilson’s wife The Thang: COP 1: DORA- partner one Bernie’s up the…
