It’s been a long week for YHC. Multiple Q’s flag handoffs, memorial workouts, running literally around Charlotte, and last but not least a brutal Iron Pax workout.
As I contemplated what I could do for my scheduled Q at the Golden Corral I was inspired by the very name of the site Q. Yes, it was time I brought some of my own “Jams” to the gloom.
As the Pax slowly but surely assembled around the Flag they were greeted by a Punk cover of Blank Space and a rock cover of Take Me home Country Roads. These were just the B-Side Singles before the full album dropped moments later.
After my disclaimer we moseyed over towards the Walgreens parking lot were we did a brief warmup before the music started.
SSH 20 (IC)
5 Windmills (IC)
The Plan was simple I’m going to play 12 songs. Within Each song there’s one set movement/exercise you will do until you hear a key phrase or word. At that point you execute reps of another exercise.
A note about the music played….most were metal/rock covers of popular songs. A couple were WWE theme songs and one was from the Dark Knight Rises Soundtrack.
The Playlist was as follows :
Running up that Hill ( a deal with god) – Loveless
Mountain Climbers until you hear the word “Running” then you run up the hill behind the Gate and return.
Voodoo Child – Brick + Mortar
Calf Raises until you hear the word Mountain or when you hear Voodoo then it’s 3 Jump Squats
That Energy – Zayde Wolf –
Big Boy Situps until you hear “That Energy” then it’s 4 Flutter Kicks
Eye of the Tiger – MetalHawk (most embraced this song but I was horrified to learn that Change Order has never seen Rocky)
Squats with Punches until you hear where “Tiger” should be in the song. Then you do a lap around the parking lot.
Why do we Fall – Hanz Zimmer ( Dark Knight Rises Sountrack – this is the scene where he climbs out of the well)
Burpees….AMRAMP
Kingdom – Downstait
American Hammers until you hear “Kingdom” then it’s 10 Toe Touches
Phenomenal – AJ Styles WWE Theme
1st Verse – Hold Plank and do a HR Merkin when you hear the word None
2nd Verse – Wall Sit and do a Jump Squat when you hear the word None
3rd Verse Start in Superman or Banana and flip every time you hear the word None
Real American – It Lives It Breaths (Metal Cover of the Hulk Hogan Theme)
Hello Dolly’s until you hear “American” then it’s 5 Rosalita’s
God’s Country – State of Mind & Drew Jacobs ( Rock Cover)
Shoulder Taps then do 10 LBC’s every time you hear “God’s Country”
Danger Zone – No Resolve (Rock Cover)
RUN but drop and do 5 Merkins everytime you hear “Danger Zone”
Everyday I’m Hustlin – Vladss
Lunge walk until you hear the word “Hustlin” then stop and do standing lunges
Fast Car – Luke Combs (Cover)
This was our cool down song. So we stretched and tried to sing along to it……we realized. We weren’t singers.
The mumblechatter during this workout was fantastic and the 45 minutes flew by. I wish I could remember everything that was said but it was a good time. I appreciate the opportunity to Q at my “sister” site within the greater Stockbridge Commons area.
While this is Slapshot Vol.1 ……be on the lookout for Slapshot Vol. 2 Coming to an AO near you……………..BROTHER!

IT IS A 80s/90s PARTY!!
When: Saturday, October 7th, 6:30pm – ~9:30pm
Where: The River Place Soundstage; 1420 Convention Dr, Fort Mill, SC 29715 (Regent Park)
What:
Dust off your favorite 80s or 90s outfit to enjoy this immersive throwback retro experience raising both support and awareness for the Children’s Attention Home’s mission. There will be era themed attire and décor, live music of 80s and 90s hits, a silent auction, a flashback photo booth, unlimited food and drink (alcoholic and non), as well as inspirational stories from youth who have had their lives turned around for the better during their time at the Home.
The home is expanding in both size and capabilities! Thy have plans for building two new houses on land they’ve purchased at the top of the hill just before you enter the home existing grounds. These new homes will teach the older kids, who are aging out of the program, how to live on their own – how to cook, clean, do laundry, budget and pay bills, do basic home maintenance, and so forth. This will also open up the existing home cottages to take on more at-risk youth, which seem to be in endless supply.
It will be quite a memorable experience. The RSVP list is growing fast. Just attending will help the home further their mission, and that’s all we are asking – just come out and party! Don’t miss out, be a part of this wonderful inaugural event!
For more information, tickets, and or sponsorship information, please see the following link to the event home page:

The kids at the Home need intentionality from HIMs like you!! Thank you for your time and support.

This morning at Currahee, four men discussed what to expect in GrowRuck events. Here’s what we did:
– Overhead Ruck Walk length of the parking lot
– Overhead Ruck Lunge Walk – half the lot
– Bear Crawl half the lot
– Ruck 2 miles
– PT Test (52 Ab Lab Sit-ups and 42 Merkins in 4 minutes)
– Picking Cherries for 1 Minute
NMM:
We discussed the Dynamic Inspection and Welcome Party and what to expect. It is one of the hardest beatdowns you will encounter. No walking, always moving, heavy sweating, and lots of yelling. It is designed to get you smoked fast and make you uncomfortable early. Lots of back and forth on a football field. Lots of confusing instructions. Lots of misdirection and penalties. Where’s my license? Did they move my ruck? When will we stop with the overhead carries? Then the Cadre get to “scuff you up.” This is where you spend several minutes in a rotating fashion between Cadres. Each Cadre has their own greatest hits, but they are designed to make it suck. Upon completion, you will certainly wonder if you have what it takes to complete the ruck. That’s the design.
At some point you will have a PT test. Recently, that PT test has included 2 minutes AMRAP Merkins (42 minimum), 2 minutes AMRAP Ab Mat Sit-ups (52 minimum), and 2 mile run (slick) in 18 minutes or less. Failure to meet the standard results in a penalty.
So, that’s why we did what we did – to get prepared for the expected while being prepared for the unexpected. Great work today, men. Thanks for the opportunity.
Aye!
Eight men showed up on a humid morning, some stayed up late watching football. This morning everyone would win. Simple loop around the downtown area. Four stops with exercises at each one.
1. Pharmacy – Plank Jacks (10 reps)
2. Parking lot after Rail Bridge – Hand Releasee Merkins (10 reps)
3. Gazebo – Bobby Hurley (10 reps)
4. Memorial Park – Man Makers (5 reps) Cinderblocks, Sandbags, and Kettle bell were available for this stop.
After each lap, we added 1 rep count to each stop. Most got 5 to 6 rounds before time expired.
Great job by all!

YHC thought he’d be just tired from staying up for the Clemson game. The unexpected feelings of disappointment made for a not-so-moderate workout, enjoyed by all. Great to see the men that posted, but especially great to meet Tin Cup, Halfback, and Mighty Mite.
Thanks to Boogie Down for the opportunity to lead.
The aim today was simple; remind men our mission never ends, what we PAX have is a gift to give, and looking around, there’s a legion of men we can give it to in order to amplify our impact and invigorate male community leadership in our very small corner of Fort Mill that has over 4,500 students.
We had an FNG (JCruises’) son with us., sophomore at Catawba Ridge Highschool, the NextGen.
Bandcamp had informed me of a region that starts its disclaimer by reciting our mission. That’s a best practice we should adopt to remind us why we are here. It’s even more critical when an FNG is present, you can get a good workout at numerous establishments including the comforts of your own home, what makes us different if it’s only a workout?
WARMUP: Run aimlessly to Forest Creek Middle School and do stuff while plotting a few tweaks to the weinke.
THE THANG: 5 stops was the plan with exercises in FOOPC order.
We commonly forget our 5 core principles or at least do not recall them in order (I still need to figure out why that may matter, but it does). We all love our acronyms; therefore, I dug deep into the exicon to arrange a workout based on FOOPC. I should of just asked @italianjob who quickly rattled off a number of exercises to pull from.
F – Free of charge
O – Open to all men
O – Held outdoors
P – Peer-led in a rotating fashion
C – Ends in COT
Stop 1
FCMS light posts 5,10,15,20,25
Flying Squirrel
One legged burpees
Peter Parker
CDDs
Stop 2: Omaha to basketball courts with gorilla walk merkin across the court.
Stop 3: Run to the student parking area, repeat FOOPC with a couple exercises swapped.
Stop 4: Wrap around to our favorite hill by the football field, and repeat FOOPC up light posts. While en route, heckled by our Weasel Shaker to lead from the front and our FNG is not breaking a sweat. I expected nothing less from the source.
Stop 5: Arriving to COT, called Captain Therkin Webb, a complicated webb you call in cadence. Took a couple of rounds but think we synced up to 5 rounds
1 – BBSU
1- American Hammer (4 count is 1)
4 – Merkins
Summary
I came in today with a lot on my mind; conviction about the NextGen, F3 in our community east of the peachstand, and feeling spicy that we’re not doing enough and can do better.
Honored to lead 13 PAX this morning, a responsibility I never take lightly. That number should be the bar here at Bushwood, and the majority should reside within 3 miles. It’s a crime against humanity to have less given the thousands of men in close proximity who may be a Sad Clown, need us to lean in and ignite them so that they may in turn perpetuate the cycle and cumulatively, have a broader impact than any one of us will ever have on our own. These men need us, our community needs us, and most importantly the next generation needs us.
Our mission is clear so do for one what you wish you could do for many.
