Seven arrived at the FORGE this morning expecting a deluge, given the weather report and preblast, however…..70 and sunny was all we got (relatively speaking). We set off for an adjusted plan given we didn’t require any shelter. The Q stumbled through the following. THANG Mosey for one half loop of top lot waiting for potential stragglers —none appeared. WararamaSSH, DQs, Imperial Squat Walkers, 6 count burpees, Alabama prom dates, American Hammers COP 1: Mosey to next lots for 4 corners, (forgot the prostitute part of the instructions) so we adjusted after the first corner.- 5 burpees- 10 Lieutenant Dans-…

Sunday night, February 2nd NTB posted on Slack about needing a Q for The Forge. He commented about it was 5 straight weeks of different Q’s and YHC felt it was a good reason to get back out to The Forge. Wednesday night February 5th YHC looked at the weather and eye rolled at the thought of 34 degrees and rainy, would YHC be alone at 0530? 0529:23 YHC pulls into the Parking Lot and realizes YHC will not be solo. 9 F3 Brothers were waiting and wondering where the Q was. YHC had decided on an off-campus Stratford/Lansdale loop…

10 delirious popsicles decided to come out and drop their core temps for 45 minutes. It was not sunny and certainly not 70. 9 f^#@ing degrees, yes, you read that right; single digits. It was cold and we were stupid enough to decide to come together and make ourselves better. The things men do for bikini season. Here is how things went down. Motion was the call of the day. Mosey down through various parking lots. Introductions and disclaimers were done in motion to keep the blood flowing. Mosey for lightpole 11’s (merkins and squats) down to the cul de…

Tin Man led his VQ a week ago and the only way we know about it is this backblast. Tin Man has been a regular triple poster of late and the pax is better for it. After 50 of various exercises and a weird 12—3 cadence the pax fell in line and are the better for it. Nice job entering into 50 and COT respect with F3, great having you.

A 12-pack of Bud on ice? No. A perfect bakers dozen of jelly-filled donuts? No. This morning the Forge locked and loaded a magazine of 12 full metal jacket heroes and Rambo blazed the start of MABA Day 2 with the following badassery: The THANG:  ***1 minute prior to start, PAX given the game plan for 100 BURPEE TABATA = 1 minute to complete x10 Burpees, timer going off every 5min during the 45min beatdown for a total of 100 burpees. Classic Rock ON, Let’s GO!!! 0530 Strikes —> 1st set of 10 Burpees WARMERAMA: Mosey loop and circle up…

Holiday gone, time marches slowly on. 5 men, our bodies and our minds locked in a war of attrition with entropy itself. The expectations of a mechanized society, the weaponization of technology. In the gloom, we are winning, but it is trench warfare and we had the soundtrack to prove it. Mosey to the flagpole for warmarama. Mosey back and down the hill for some knoll work: 11s with mirkins, bear crawl the knoll, jumpsquats, lunge down. 100 WW2s. Mosey to the roundabout for a cinco de checko. Timer runs the loop, flutter kicks, mountain climbers, squats, burpees. Rinse and…

9 kind souls and one new playlist gathered around the warm fires of the Forge for an beatdown audible. Tin Man’s 50th VQ will have to take a rain check after too much egg nogg at Rosie’s Christmas Special. Crank up the volume: Warmarama. Mosey to the amphitheater for a triple check: run the loop, WW2s, squats. Then, 11s with box jumps up the big steps, incline mirkins and dips. Mosey over for some wall work Pigskin-style: people’s chair, balls to the wall, and donkey kicks, each 3 times. Mosey to back to the flag for some ab Mary, some…
