Inaugural Jaeger

Leave a comment

Beautiful March weather (seriously it was a perfect day) for the 0800 launch of the Eröffnung Jäger. PAX were assured by Grinder that the routes were well marked and there were no Zima-miles. This proved to be 99.9% true (you could still get lost if you wanted to…)

The premise was solid. 4 man team (2 Ruckers, 2 Runners). Runners had longer routes and teams met at checkpoints for team exercises before they could head to the next station. The pain stations were tough. Lutefisk about killed the PAX at the first one. (Oh, that was just me?) Triple Lindy had us loading munitions. Cake Boss brought candy, but it was not a sweet treat. (Could have also been that the leg leading to Alison Park was soul crushing….) Tinsel forgot it was a CSAUP and thought he was prepping for a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs wresting match.



The finishing team results:
1.) Vuvu/Beaker (for the record you were suggested to have a 4 man team…)
2.) Cobra Kai’s crew (that included the mythical Gekko)
3.) Camp 3D’s Sugar Shady Band Bug
4.) Cornerstone’s posse
5.) Poppins’ Chimney Sweeps (seriously impressive that Badlands ran back from the final pain station to connect with his teams’ Ruckers)
6.) The Entourage around Shield
7.) Slow Jams and the Lake Ridge Wanders
8.) Lake Wylie’s Wild Thing drinking Whiskey and enjoying a Big Mac (great to see these guys from across the bridge here for the CSAUP)

Afterwards at the Print Shop, we celebrated the Dam 2 Dam fundraising effort where The Fort is sending $7,500 to Defend the Fatherless, $7,500 to Autism Strong, $7,500 to the Fort Mill Care Center, and $10,000 to the F3 the Fort endowed scholarship.

It is an honor to be part of The Fort alongside some amazing high impact men. On behalf of Grinder and the entire planning crew, this backblast is respectfully submitted by the smallest cog in the Jaeger machine—Band Camp.

Birdcage is a slacker site Q

Leave a comment

The workout Q was Ringer a slack less Kotter. Birdcage hasn’t done the BB in his place as a good site Q should so I’ll do it to keep BandCamp happy.

Exercise cones were set out in a large loop in the parking lot. KB were left a cones as needed. PAX broke off in two groups. Exercise at the cone as specified on the cone and run to next cone. Repeat until COT.

Purple Unicorns with Glitter Accents

Leave a comment

Nice morning at The Armory.

Ran the bells across the lot. dropped and circled for a warm-up.
walkers (Imperial/Hillbilly), merkins, squats, LBC, Rinse & R.

7 boards set out. Rotate from one board to the next with a short run in between. Boards had bell exercise 15 count, both sides (L & R), non-bell exercise, finished by a 10 count bell exercise, both sides.

Returned across the lot with the boards and flipped the one at a time until time ran out.

Lots of lifting.

Thanks for the opportunity, first bell Q in many, many years.

Looks like we made it,

Barry Manilow

Litter pick up – Community Svc

Leave a comment

March 18th is tentatively set as our first pick-up for the US21 adopt-a-Highway litter pickup! We will have 4 opportunities in 2023. Once a quarter is the plan.  All supplies provided ( bags, gloves, safety vests, pick up sticks, eye-wear, and fellowship) All that remains is YOU.
Plan for about 1 hour and 30 mins – 2 hours maximum. We will meet at the Harris street park around 7:45am.
We will walk up the hill to US21 and split up into 2 groups.  One group will head north to the Peachstand and back and the other group will head south to Sutton Rd and back.  (1 mile each direction)

We could use 10-12 guys to keep this an efficient and timely process. 2.0s and Ms are welcome as well as anyone who would like to participate in our community svc event.

Thank you to all who participated in 2022. Looking forward to seeing new faces as well as the HIM who assisted last year.

US 21 from the Peachstand south to Sutton Rd ( Circle K – gas station) is the road that we adopted!!

Respawn of Tomahawk

Leave a comment

WARMUP: 4:45 Prerun (Sherlock was conspicuously absent)

THE THANG: Disclaimer was disclaimed and the PAX were instructed to carry ~150lbs of extra coupons in addition to their bells on an Indian Run to the workout location…

The PAX moseyed their way on a poor form Indian Run to the field/hill adjacent to the basketball arena and circled up for the main event…a KB and Coupon Jacobs Ladder

PAX completed 10 reps of each exercise:
– KB Swings
– Single Arm Overhead Press (each arm)
– Overhead Tricep Extension
– Curls (each arm)
– Upright Rows
– Lawnmower Pulls (each arm)
– Merkins (1 hand on bell, switch halfway)
– Alternating Lunges (each leg)
– KB Goblet Squats
– KB Calf Raises

All of the coupons were picked up and moved to the top of the hill for 1 burpee, before returning all of the coupons back to the bottom of the hill

Rinse and repeat (reducing the KB and increasing the Burpee rep count by 1)

The PAX completed 5 rounds (45 reps of each exercise and 10 burpees) before needing to return to COT with all of the KBs and Coupons (0.6 miles round trip).

Great work by all! Glad to see the return of an OG AO in The Fort!!!

Thanks Birdcage for the opportunity!!!

MARY: We watched the Bushwood PAX complete some, too gassed to care!
ANNOUNCEMENTS: The Rooster, Burpees and BBQ, The Jaegar are all coming up; read your newsletter
COT: what was shared in COT stays in COT – show to know!!

The Beast has Awakened

Leave a comment

The Tomahawk was awaked and is not pleased with what it sees. This fabled AO is riddled with mystic and lore. Did it ever exist? Was there ever really an F3-Indian Land? Where did it go?

YHC is here to tell you Tomahawk was too much for this modern world. It was a place where men wore weight vests for the 5-mile pre-runs, then did kettlebell work outs for cool downs. I can assure you, the worst stories you have ever heard are watered down at best.

We are getting soft, and mushy. We talk too much. We lift things that weigh under 30LBS. We video stuff and talk about trendy topics.  It’s time for a rebirth by fire. Tomahawk is coming back to take teeth and kick names. There will be no fluff. Leave your Lululemon at home.

Launching 2-22-23 we will begin a Legends series where you can expect to see the royalty of AO pasted. YHC has an abundance of devilish delights for the coming months…so stay tuned.

There seems to be a vacancy at Catawba Ridge so we will plant our flag there and reclaim what is rightfully ours. You got what it takes?
