Stay Hard

Monday’s are hard. Especially with ER thrown in there. Monday is extra hard. but we got this. that’s right. #stayhard   Warm it up SSH’s, Little Arm Circles, Humpsters, etc. We moseyed behind the ER parking deck and YHC had some coupons to hand out to the PAX. Partner up. but first 10 burpees We […]

Heizenburg?

Perfect temps for working out at ER this am. As YHC arrived to Q he noticed a guy dressed in a hoodie getting out of his car and walking to the corner. Who dat?  Later did he realize that is was Hiro (After saying “good morning” the Q for some reason heard this as Heizenburg) […]

April Fools!

I roll up and Skaggs and some dude are standing there waiting. 31degrees. Doughboy cruises in and its a solid 4. FNG is quiet. Skaggs rattles off some stair work BLIMPS and then mosey to gut check time. CrunchPunches, Rowboats, Torture Tucks. Get some. COT on Easter and the real deal Sacrifice of Christ. FNG […]

Medball’s first Q

I know what you’re thinking…no way this is Medball’s first Q. Well, you’re half right. I’ve Q’d quite a few times, however this is my first Q away from The Station!  Crazy…only 4 years and 22 days to get asked to Q at another AO.  I’m glad CrossStitch was open-minded and saw past the fear […]

BLIMP’s around the Square

 HIM showed up for YHC’s first RAM Q.  The weather was a little bit of concern considering all the rain overnight, but it ended up being nice with no rain.  The ruckers were already gone so the 7 of us RAMmers circled up and began the warm up. Warm up consisted of 12 count, in […]

Bathroom Sprint Champions of the World

Good Ole’ Howitzer. I remember way back in the day (pre-rogue) when Howitzer first started. Bing was the AO-Q and had a pretty sweet shovel flag made for the spot. Back then, the City of Hickory gave us ample spots for step-ups, tricep dips, and all that good stuff because of the ample “flower beds” […]

RAM in the Heat, or Cold

0528 and there seemed to be a debate starting on whether it was warm or not. PAX arrived in various states of dress, tshirt, leggings, insulated outerwear, etc. and no one seemed to agree if they were wearing the appropriate amount of clothing. I was comfortable so I didn’t really care.  0530 Warm Up: SSH […]

Fun at Run N’ Gun

Twas a glorious morning with no rain and no freeze. But, Powder still showed with long johns. Some things never change. I believe this was the third Run N’ Gun which is a new thing we’re trying out at Howitzer. So far, I’d say it has been a success. The Thang: Started off with the […]

Wait…a fifth guy is here?

28 degrees. Balmy. Who’s that pulling in? Beaker asks if  we should hide? Oh. Its @Publix. Makes 5. Get the muscles loose w/ ‘worlds greatest stretch’ and a mosey to the rock pile. Curls, thrusters, run…rinse and repeat. Lots o grunts from Lil Sweet. What the #$&@ is a torture tuck? Sucks. BEC…👍. Coffee 👍. […]

Weathermen, Politicians, and Magicians.

Weathermen, Politicians, and Magicians. Similarities; Often times misleading ✅ Somewhat entertaining ✅ Not always necessary ✅ Will lead you to believe a farce ✅ Operates in an exalted position and humored by many ✅ Never to be trusted ✅ YHC has grown wise in his 41 years. Rather than being convinced by the latest weather […]
