18 PAX came out to celebrate the Honey Badger’s one year anniversary! It was great to have three PAX (h/t Subprime, Gordo, Bushwood) join us from Chapel Hill Without any pomp and circumstance, we got started right away. Warm Up SSH x 24 Good Morning x 24 WMH x 12 PortaJohn Chinook x 12 Reverse […]
11 PAX came out today for a simple, yet effective workout. While planning for this one, YHC wanted to keep it simple, and work some stuff that I’ve heard is helpful to the Ruckers. YHC is certainly not an expert rucker, but have heard that some key muscle groups to have prepared for a GoRuck […]
For the folks who’ve Q’d: have you ever had one of those moments when the site Q posts a reminder at 3:30p the day before you’re due to lead…and realize you’d forgotten to get that one on your calendar? Yeah…that’s when you scramble and look for inspiration elsewhere. For YHC, it was this post by […]
Borne out of an idea hatched by Boucher and OPEC a few weeks back, this Q was a challenge not only of the body, but of timing and logistics as well. With a few days of planning on a day that OPEC and YHC both had the Q at the Moose and Tobacco Road respectively, […]
When temps are in the mid-20s, as it was on this gloomy Ash Wednesday morning, the best (and only) option is to keep it movin’. Move cold steel = keep PAX warm. And that’s what we did. 12 PAX resisted the urge to stay comfy in their beds and drove to a church parking lot […]

We alway say, “See You in the Gloom!” or SYIG. Today, this was very accurate. There was a dense fog covering the Herndon Road Park, giving our AO an eerie quality as 5 brave PAX rolled in for their Thursday beatdown. Warm Up: SSH x 20 Good Mornings x 10 Arm circles forward x 10 […]
YHC arrived running on fumes after a long night of celebrating a big Virginia Tech victory over Duke and some baby issues that cropped up throughout the night. None the less, YHC was eager to let the PAX feel the burn especially the Duke boys that were quick to point out that “Zion didn’t play […]
4 PAX stretched their legs during a 5K EC and 12 more PAX joined in for the ME. YHC is always excited about Qing HOP because there are just so many options to choose from. After playing around with a few ideas, YHC settled on a classic HOP steel/tire beatdown to the theme of ring […]
Warm-up: the warm-up was brief but effective. The PAX jogged up six flights of stairs to the roof of the Duke parking garage. Once there, the PAX performed 10 side shuffle hops, 10 air squats, and 10 slow count merkins. That was enough warm-up. The Workout: the Q asked for four volunteers to each name […]
