Up and Down the Ladder
Conditions – a brisk 37 degrees Since YHC was still semi-recovering from a minor stint on the DL, YHC decided that it would be a burpee and coupon free bootcamp. YHC wasn’t sure how many would post based on the weather conditions but was happy to see that 8 brave PAX showed up to climb […]

A Little Bit of This, A Little Bit of That
The cold temps kept most of the pax snuggled up in the fartsack this morning, but 5 brave souls decided to do the harder thing and posted at the Epicenter for a total body workout. Conditions: About 40 degrees and clear. Fall seems to be here, at least for this week. One minute warning given […]
Tour de Epicenter
10 pax enjoyed a cool October morning for a little celebration at the Epicenter. YHC started a tradition a couple of years back on my birthday with each exercise having the number of reps corresponding to the new age. This was the first time bringing the party to the Epicenter. It looked good on paper…..um well […]
Three’s Company
3 Pax posted for a Saturday morning of tough work at the Epicenter. It’s too bad there were no other pax willing to overcome the fartsack and join the fun. When I wrote out my plan for the day, I had planned on doing partner work for most of the workout. Since there were only […]
Muscle Endurance
Finally a BB that’s on time. If your going to do F3 or compete in Spartan races or relay races you have to have muscle endurance. You can be the biggest meathead but if you don’t have muscle endurance you will give out quickly in these events. Sure you need muscle and strength but that’s […]
“Embarrassing Moments with Polly” S1E1
After a month-long absence due to injury, YHC knew he would need some extra accountability to get back in the groove. YHC borrowed a page from UncleJesse’s playbook and signed up for a number of Qs over the next few weeks. Then, the Nan’tan dropped the dope on the October pax challenge. The two dovetail […]
Bucket Brigade Meets Epicenter
The recruiting efforts the night before by Baby Blu, the Q at Fury, abounded. But, I felt very safe after getting a solid HC from Flossy, Sour, and Dixie Chick. I knew other dedicated men would be there as well…but it’s always nice to “know” you can count on those who HC. In the immortal […]
The Nine Ride Forth
YHC Note: This Backblast is late (sorry Polly), because YHC had time management issues this week. YHC planned a fairly standard, but invigorating Dora 1, 2, 3 workout for today. However, as is often the case, things did not work out exactly as planned. Upon realizing we had nine pax, the initial thought was to […]
We Had a Swingin’ Good Time
YHC’s usual run to the EpiCenter on Tuesday and Thursday mornings takes him past the “Forgotten Playground” on the backside of the EpiCenter. Every time I pass, I think of what could be done there and waited for the opportunity to use the many opportunities that were there, especially the swings. Well, today was the […]
