Q vs Q at The Ridge

Well, temperature drops a few degrees and only a few Pax show up for the battle of bells vs bootcamp. A bit of bad timing since another Q vs Q battle was happening down the street between The Fort and The Rock.
We kicked it off with a warm-up by YHC. SSHs, Imperial Walkers, Windmills, Plank Stretches.
Atlas had the first 20 minutes with cones spread out in the parking lot. Exercises (15 reps each) at each cone, back to the middle of the parking lot for 5 burpees. Lots of Kettlebell exercises and burpees. He gave credit to Jekyll for idea.
YHC had the second half. We stayed in the same general area so we could listen to Atlas’ music selection.
Round 1: Bear crawl with merkins at every odd parking space. Sideways crawl around the parking lot island
Round 2: Lunge walk with squats at every odd parking space. Sideways crawl around the parking lot island opposite direct.
Round 3: Crabwalk with LBCs at every odd parking space. Toe taps on curb
Round 4: Inch worm merkins
Round 5 Burpee broad jumps

Back to COT. Great job by everyone. Lots of mumble chatter. As Cohiba mentioned in the video “We are all winners”

The Beast has Awakened

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?

The Bushwood Gamble

While I tagged the entire PAX from both AOs, the BB is only for Bushwood.
WARMUP: Essentially non-existent. We ran to the bottom of the hill on the backside of the school. We then NUR’d about 75 yards back up the hill then ran back down to the benches for 30 Derkins. We then did 15 pull-ups, ran to the stop sign, NUR’d back for 15 more pull-ups & planked for the 6.
THE THANG: Run back to the parking lot for the deck of cards:
For the 1st-Timers, each suit is an exercise and each card represents the reps (Ace=14).
Hearts: Jump Squats
Diamonds: Diamond Merkins
Spades: Carolina Dry Docks
Clubs: V-Ups
For the other 4 cards, ya know, the ones that have the ads or some other nonsense on them, those were 25 American Hammers I/C.
MARY: Included in the above.
ANNOUNCEMENTS: Read the NYT article, watch (record) Fox News at midnight tonight for additional F3 sharing. Be grateful for this brotherhood and welcome the FNGs.
COT: You had to be there.
