A Sneaky Sucky Route
12 men were stretched and ready to run a route through Hickory so I explained the route before it was time to get started. It was a simple route but harder to explain. Since we run at various speeds and I had planned 2 distances I started the workout backwards. We started the count off […]

The Walls of Granite Falls
YHC had his first post and first Q at #SoCal. It happens about 10 feet down from where #Hurler meets, so 5 of us gathered under this nice Monday evening sky at 8pm and this work began. ATT x 20 IC IST x 20 IC Squats x 20 IC SSH x 20 IC Humpies x […]
It was Publix’s fault
Conditions: Spittin’ rain. Or rainin’ spit. Hopefully the former. Or is it latter? Whatever. It’s raining yall. Thang: Warmups. Lot’s of mumblechatter from the Pax. Well not all Pax. Really just Publix. He loves to give ole Cousin Eddie a hard time. ED: “Next exercise is SSH” Publix: “Nice shirt loser” Ed: Starting Position, Move […]
Pail of Pain @ 300
Better late than never I guess with this late post from our 300 workout. This idea is complements of Snips (Nathan Miller) when he did the “Mystery Box” workout @ Prison Break. YHC decided to add a little twist, but the same concept. The Thang: 6 PAX showed up on this cool Saturday morning @ […]
Jack Splat * at The Rock
YHC, Plank and Humpy all met up at New Hope, loaded a bunch of weights and a Battle Rope and Bing’s brick thingies and then headed up toward Valdese in my crusty old truck which is about as old as I am. My truck has a sagging suspension (like me) and the weight of Plank […]
Starting Position, Moo!
It was a wonderful morning for an F3 workout. YHC rolled up at Northview right on time at 6:15 and learned that the pax were trying to decide who was going to Q if I didn’t show up. But that wasn’t necessary and we immediately got down to business. The THANG: Warmup: SSH x15 IC […]
A Breezy Ruck
3 pax posted this morning in the cool and windy gloom. As RAM was starting, we took off to Ruck a little bit and then do some exercises. We completed a mile loop and tried to get between some vehicles to get out of the wind. First we had fun with our rucks: Start with […]
Doughboy’s Title!!
If you were there the Tuesday after Valentines Day at the Mount; and you were running down the hill from Walgreens after the workout, then the title makes perfect sense! What doesn’t make sense though is how tardy this backblast is since that was 16 days ago!! I have never not written a backblast for […]
The ballad of Granite Falls
The night prior when sleep was dire a baby stirs, the little dude, he’s a crier. To bed at last, half past twelve, up again, in my sleepless realm, once, twice, three times more, about this Q… I’m not so sure. 4:55, the alarm clock rings, birdies chirp, angels sing, that’s a lie, I hear […]
