God presented this beautiful morning for my VQ along with 7 other great men looking to better themselves. I had been stressing over my ability to lead a workout that meets everybody where they are and push them to the next level.It was that time to start, we moseyed to the front of the school. I requested the pax to circle up. I ran through a quick intro. I showed 3 different moves, Heisman, 3 step Heisman, and Mummy kicks before we began the cardioramma. Cardioramma consisted of 7 moves, 40 seconds each and repeat 2 more times: • Jog…

YHC arrived early for his VQ, greeted by Dr TryHard who was graciously planting the ShovelFlag. In the following minutes, sixteen men, including FNG Fire Marshall Bill, assembled at Hugenaut High for the third ever FORGE beatdown. Cordial chitchat was hastily interrupted as 5:30 flipped on the wrist apparatus and the clouds parted to a balmy 70 & sunny, off we went.

11 hardy veterans from the Gloom showed up to greet the early morning and enjoy a VQ beatdown and some fellowship. As this was YHC’s first actual Q, mistake number 1 was to ask the PAX if they where ready to mossy? Mumble chatter about how “this is your Q Doozy” and “I don’t know, what do you want to do” were heard throughout the AO. The PAX did give in and did a (Rosie) Mossy to a spot in front of the school, from there this is what went down. (12) SSH (12) Don Quixote’s (12) Wind Mills or…
On the 140th year since Washington’s Birthday was made a Federal holiday, 10 brave men (at the minimum, all of them Vice Presidential caliber) took the field at Hoedown. Observing mid-30s temps and a waning drizzle, the clouds parted, and off we went into 70 & sunny weather.. Fun Facts from YHC: Technically, the federal holiday is “Washington’s Birthday”. Many states have adopted the inclusion of other presidents into the holiday. Thus, ‘President’s Day’ is generally considered a day to honor incumbent and past presidents.Washington’s actual birthday is 2/11/1731 on the old style calendar. When the British Empire adopted the…
In the sub-zero gloom, 15 headband heroes assembled to face the sure hardships of Heartbreak Ridge. Already sweaty from many track laps, HANDSHAKE was first to greet YHC in the gloom. The ShovelFlag was planted and the PAX assembled. In loving support of YHC’s alma mater, GUMBO not only sported a skin tight headband, but also skin-tight red&yellow “Gym Dike” from his VMI Glory Days – bringing warmth to YHC’s heart and general amusement among the PAX. Coming up on the 0530 start, YHC reminded the PAX of our F3 Credo – “Leave no man behind, but leave no man…

Nine brave souls (including 1 FNG) fought off the fartsack to partake in ByProduct’s VQ at Gridiron on this beautiful humid morning. After a few jokes about this morning’s cherry picking, we got down to business.

Eighteen stout-hearted men, including one FNG, arrived early in the gloom to see what Sabotage, YHC, had to offer for his VQ. Despite arriving ridiculously early to check out the AO after last night’s downpour, YHC pulls into the parking area to see Big Blue staring him in the face. Made a mental note- to be the first PAX on the scene for WDog, you might as well arrive the night before and sleep in your car. After waking the PAX up by playing the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage” (don’t hate just because you don’t have your own theme song), here’s…
